Aulus Chania by Domes Resorts

"We stayed for five nights and six days at Aulus Chania at the end of August for our honeymoon. We chose the hotel because it had recently been renovated, looked amazing online and was adults only. We were looking for somewhere peaceful where we could properly unwind, relax and do very little, surrounded by beautiful surroundings. We were certainly not disappointed. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. We were given a lovely tour of the resort and, as it was our honeymoon, the team went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. There were some lovely and generous surprises waiting for us in our room, which was such a thoughtful touch. The resort itself is beautiful, calm, quiet and minimal. The pools were lovely and a comfortable temperature, and there were plenty of comfortable sunbeds throughout the resort. The food was very good, with a great selection and a different theme each day. We ate really well throughout our stay, with the buffet being a particular highlight. We also really enjoyed the Asian restaurant. The gym is modern, clean and well equipped, although we felt a little more cable equipment would have been useful. Sweat towels and cold water were available, although the ventilation and air conditioning could be improved as it did get quite hot. The service at the pool bar and rooftop bar was superb. The evening entertainment was also excellent, and watching the sunset from the rooftop terrace with great music, entertainment and exceptional service was a real highlight. The staff were always attentive and genuinely interested in making our stay as enjoyable as possible. We also took the weekly evening coach trip to Chania, which we would highly recommend. Going in the evening meant it was cooler and much less busy, particularly as the cruise visitors had already departed. Chania itself was fantastic, with plenty to see and do. The drinks voucher and food discount at a selected venue were also a lovely added touch. It would be impossible to single out individual members of staff because everyone was fantastic. From management and guest relations to the restaurant, bar, housekeeping and concierge teams, everyone was warm, friendly, genuine and incredibly welcoming. A huge thank you to the entire team for working so tirelessly in the scorching heat while maintaining such a high standard of service. We also really appreciated how the hotel looked after us on our final day. Even after checking out, we were able to continue using the facilities and restaurants until our early evening departure. We were also given a courtesy room to shower and get ready, which was incredibly thoughtful and very much appreciated. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful and romantic adults only getaway, we would highly recommend Aulus Chania. It was exactly the kind of relaxing honeymoon we were hoping for, and the incredible staff made it even more special. The staff genuinely could not have done any more for us. They were wonderful, and we would 100% return in the future. Thank you to the whole team for making our honeymoon so memorable."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The perfect anniversary escape! We’ve just returned from 5 nights at Aulus Chania, booked as a special treat for our wedding anniversary, and it was everything we hoped it would be. The hotel is beautiful, spotlessly clean and so well maintained. The views are absolutely stunning, particularly the sunsets, and the whole hotel has such a lovely, relaxed feel. The pools were gorgeous and we loved spending time down by the beach and on the floating deck. The food throughout our stay was excellent and we especially loved having a proper wine list to choose from as part of our stay – such a lovely touch. Our minibar was replenished daily and we really appreciated all the little extras in our room, from the crisps and nuts to the local Raki and sweet treats. Robes and slippers were also provided and everything felt very well thought out. What really made our stay though was the wonderful staff. Everyone we came across was friendly, welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. A special mention to Panos at the pool bar, such a lovely young man who was always friendly and helpful. Mara and Dimitrius at Concierge/Guest Relations were fantastic – so welcoming, friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed. Eva in the buffet restaurant always greeted us with a smile and was so lovely and helpful. I also had the most amazing deep tissue massage with Ilda in the spa – genuinely one of the loveliest massages I’ve had! And finally, a special thank you to our lovely housekeeping lady who looked after Room 911. I’m so sorry I didn’t catch/remember her name, but she was absolutely lovely and kept our room immaculate throughout our stay. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable break and came home feeling completely recharged – exactly what we needed. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and we have some wonderful memories from our stay. Thank you to the whole Aulus Chania team for looking after us so well. 🫶🏼 We would absolutely recommend Aulus Chania and would love to return one day. 🤍"
