I have to concur with all previous reviews, this hotel should be struck from any list as a viable all inclusive hotel option. The manager is a far cry from any customer service professional and should be dismissed from the establishment altogether. Whilst the location isn't all bad if you're wanting to get away from it all, the way in which the hotel operates ruins the entire experience. My fiancee and I went there on our engagement holiday, opting for the all inclusive and hoping for a realxing break - nowhere near! All inclusive there means a very different thing to what you may already be accustomed to - time and variety limitations!! Food was same every day and not good at all. Swimming pool would not pass a health inspection - especially with the fact that the hotel family's dogs are able to roam freely about the complex, leaving little reminders of their presence as they go! Seeing the puppy in the pool was a big no and when Andreas, the manager, was queried about this, his usual bellowing of, 'I want you out of my hotel!' was an idle glimmer of hope of actually escaping the place. He was rude, impatient and almost had my fiancee and another woman (who was on her honeymoon there after being relocated from a double booking!) in tears. He was very close to physical confrontation with several of the guests on many occassion - it's just a dire place. Ierepetra on the other hand, became a welcome escape from the confines of the Eden Rock. However, the point of going all inclusive means you should not have to leave the complex at all. Incurring cost of taxi fare and meals out was a necessity for simply trying to salvage some enjoyment from the holiday - the Eden Rock is certainly no Eden at all. The manager should be disgusted with himself and consider another line of work, perhaps being a drill instructor or dog trainer! Avoid this place - it is a huge disappointment.
