Triton Authentic Cretan Hotel — Hotel in Municipality of Minoa Pediados

The Triton Authentic Cretan hotel seems fairly small and located at the beach. Don't expect the four-star standard you're used to in Central Europe, but the hotel is nice and, unlike the overcrowded and bustling resorts such as Hersonissos and most places on the north coast, it offers a quite peaceful holiday. If you have All Inclusive, you can help yourself to beer, white and red wine, water, fanta, cola, etc. at the hotel almost anytime (long drinks and spirits are not offered as All incl). |The room has a small refrigerator, A/C, TV and a spacious balcony. |If you come in the morning, you´ll wait for the room until 2:30-3:00 p.m. when it is ready, what is not pleasant anyway esp. after a sleepless night , but you can go relax by the sea—sunbeds are free (about a quarter of them have broken reclining mechanism), or you can lie down in wooden "cabins" under tamarisk trees. The beach is just across the road (blind alley which leads only to the hotel and local houses). The staff is nice and helpful. |In my opinion, the food is very good, with several types of meat, fish or seafood every day, sometimes moussaka or pasticio, sometimes tzatziki or taramosalata, often olives and capers, always several types of salads, roasted and fresh vegetables, pasta, all influenced by Greek and Cretan cuisine. Every day there were two types of melon, oranges, sometimes other fruit, baklava (perhaps sweeter than honey itself), quite tasty small cream cakes, and vanilla and chocolate buns (which I didn't care for) ice-cream self service. Our daily problem was mostly not to overeat ourselves..|Between meals, there are some cakes and extremely simple sandwiches.|There are about 15 taverns and cafés in the area, as well as about 7-8 shops, including souvenir shops and the Ariadni chain store with good prices. |Since there is no bus service from here, I recommend renting a car for at least a few days, which can be done directly at the hotel or at a local rental agency on the other side of the resort. Otherwise, you may well get bored after a few days. |The hotel and travel agency offer excursions, but we found them quite overpriced as usual... |Crete is huge, and it's true that everything is quite far from Tsoutsouros.. |Once if you drive to Knossos near Heraklion (the entrance fee has been increased to €20, but it's "a must" - the No. 1 attraction and symbol of Crete), go as early as possible, as crowds start pouring in in the morning and it's difficult to get through. We visited the most beautiful places in Crete, such as Vai (eastern tip) and the beach at Moni Preveli (crowded), but you will drive over 300 km in a day mostly on winding mountain roads, but it was worth doing for us. Some people may also be interested in the Lassithi Plateau and the adjacent Cave of Zeus (but it is currently closed 7-2025). |Every Wednesday, the hotel hosts a free Cretan evening with folk songs, where you can try to dance the simplest Hassaposerviko or Sirto dance. Don't expect discos or busy bars in the village. |You can walk over to another beach (over 2 km behind the port up the path) or to the gorge that begins behind the harbor next to the abandoned hotel.|It is almost always windy in southern Crete (however the wind is not as strong as in Plakias), which might be pleasant during summer heats (Tsoutsouros is more on the south than the city of Tunis). Then I was surprised that there were no waves in the middle of July, which I always expect in southern Crete. |Let me conclude by recommending a stay in this hotel in a summer time. And many thanx to Manolis, the chefs and all the staff. ...

We stayed at this so-called 4-star hotel, but honestly, it doesn’t even deserve 3. The whole experience was disappointing from start to finish. The food was truly awful: frozen fish sticks served as a main course, repetitive and low-quality buffet meals. Ice cream was technically included in the all-inclusive package, but it was only available after lunch and dinner — with long lines and very limited choice. Totally unacceptable for a hotel that claims to be 4 stars.

The pool area was chaotic: even people who were not hotel guests were allowed in, making an incredible amount of noise. To make matters worse, they were doing pool area sanitization while guests were still in and around the pool, which is absolutely unacceptable from both a safety and customer service perspective.

The nearby beach was covered in stones, making it extremely difficult (and painful) to get into the water — definitely not suitable for children. The sunbeds were poorly maintained, and again, anyone could use them without any form of control.

In short: place that doesn’t come close to the standards expected of a 4-star hotel. Not...

A FUIR DE TOUTES URGENCE

Vous êtes tombé sur la plus grosse arnaque. de Crete. Hôtel 4 étoiles plus que miteux. Patron exécrable, intoxication alimentaire tout ça au milieu de rien avec une pharmacie à 24km le plus proche. Hôtel de français uniquement car le patron est français. Un compte rendu sera fait à l’agence de voyage afin de mettre en lumière les ignobles séjours proposés dans cet établissement.

Si vous souhaitez passer un séjour digne d’un formule 1 avec une purge complète bille inclus de l’estomac, nous vous conseillons l’hôtel Triton avec Fabrice et sont équipe.

Prestations première : Le tout inclus digne d’un film d’horreur. Interdit de prendre de l’eau en dehors de repas. Il faut allé en acheter dans la supérette à côté qui appartient à l’hôtel. LA BLAGUE. 1€ la bouteille. Ça fait cher pour un pays avec un smic à 800€.

L’eau est non potable et ne doit jamais être bue. Vous serez malade à grands jets assuré.

Les conditions d’hygiène sur la cuisine sont déplorables. Les restaurants aux alentours nous confirment que cela fait 4 semaines que les touristes ne sortent plus et que personnes n’est dans les rues car trop occupés à vomir dans les chambres. Idem à la piscine. Personne. Nous confirmons les dire du groupe de 20 personnes que nous étions.

Nous estimons le massacre de cette semaine à 45 personnes sur 80 avec des intoxications alimentaires durant la semaine. La réception a tout les médicaments pour vous. (Bizarre pour une réception, à croire que c’est habituel). Le patron passera cela sur le compte d’une gastro pour se dédouaner, ce qui est faux. Avez vous déjà vu des gastros en août ? L’après midi c’est réunion dans la piscine pour savoir qui a été malade la veille et qui ne l’a pas été. 50% de l’hôtel minimum le sont.

A savoir que Fabrice a acheté le bar à côté, la pizzeria et il est le propriétaire des transats sur la plage pour vous faire payer des sommes astronomiques a tout va et au plus possibles durant votre séjour. Il est d’une nonchalance exaltante pour un hôtelier et se permet tout et surtout de vous prendre pour des vaches à lait de 6 semaines afin de vous faire dépenser le maximum possible.

La piscine. Petite et non entretenue. Avec des algues se formant dans l’eau. Nous avions des maillots de bains blancs, ils reviennent de voyage vert du à la propreté exaltante de la piscine. Je n’avais jamais vu ça.

Arnaque sur les excursions ! La réception voudra vous facturer une balade de 3 heures en mer à 90€ par personne. Celle ci est au même prix au port de Tsousouros à 45€ par personne. Vous pouvez réserver directement avec la société afin d’éviter de payer 45€ par personne supplémentaire dans les poches de Fabrice et ses incompétents. NE VOUS FAITE PAS AVOIR. Patrick est ses excursions ne servent à rien.. ça décore l’hôtel. Il tourne en rond dans l’hôtel. Vu les prix, c’est normal.

En bref un séjour de l’horreur. Nous revenons avec des souvenirs et surtout des leçons sur nos prochains séjours. Tout sauf ça.

Changer de métier Monsieur le directeur. Votre établissement est un piège à touristes encore que trop peu connu et en aucun cas un havre de paix.

A jamais, et tous mes vœux de malheur à votre établissement si vous...
