“Holiday”

“Awesome trip solo! ”

Wanted a break on my own and after reading nice reviews, it didn't disappoint. Everything is clean and tidy, food is different everyday. Staff are really friendly and helpful. As I was on my own I asked a lot of questions about recommendations about places to visit, as I hired a car. They were more than helpful. They were also very interested asking me how my day was each day, and asking what I got upto during the day. They just make you feel good and special. You can tell the staff are really a one big happy family, how they have that rapport with each other. So credit to the hotel for employing incredible staff. I came home fully recharged and refreshed.

“Not too bad of a stay”

The grounds and general areas of the hotel are very nice, rooms are modern and many areas have been newly renovated. The Sensus "experience" is a gimmick unfortunately.

The grounds and general areas of the hotel are very nice, rooms are modern and many areas have been newly renovated. The Sensus "experience" is a gimmick unfortunately. Sensus rooms are nice albeit the swim up rooms are only really suitable for a couple (we had a baby with us and it was a squeeze with very little storage and hardly any room to unpack cases). Travel cot provided was nice though. The Sensus bar is my main grievance. The snacks on offer are shockingly bad for what is named to be an "experience", its worse than Premier Inn food that's been left out all day and that is genuinely true. The pool in the Sensus area is lovely although if you are short or even an average female you might struggle to stand as its 1.6m deep whereas the other pools are 1.4m deep. Food generally is ok albeit repetitive but that's common for all inclusive holidays these days. Al a Carte restaurant is not too bad. Drinks wise, beer seemed watered down as every pint I had outside the hotel was a lot nicer. Only bottom shelf drinks available on all inclusive, with decent cocktails, spirits and beers being charged extra which annoys me a bit. We ended up having food out at lunch and dinner most days though as wasn't to our taste. Otherwise generally friendly and not a bad hotel for the price. One good thing about Sensus is you're guaranteed loungers as they're reserved for those staying in that area so doesn't get overcrowded.

S We stayed in the sensus experience by lavris for 11 nights at the end of September . I’d like to point out that my review is my personal opinion and they are observations rather than complaints , this is a clean hotel with great staff and fresh tasty food & drinks .We booked half board so we made it just in time for the dinner buffet after we were shown to our room . The staff were very friendly and tried their best on the most part , we did find occasionally being forgotten for a request of water or an espresso at Brekfast . The food was good and fresh but maybe a little of the same most nights (sorry I only eat Brussels sprouts on Christmas Day! ) , although both myself and my wife will always find something to eat as we are not fussy . No coffee in the restaurant after Brekfast service was another thing I couldn’t get my head around also . We had a swim up room 508 and used the bar there for drinks and the occasional snack by the pool and found the girls that ran the bar there amazing but I found it strange that they had to run to the other bar for certain drinks - as in cocktails which meant one of our group was only starting there drink when the others were just finished. The cleaning of the room was ok if little inconsistent , for example sometimes the toilet/ shower was cleaned sometimes it wasn’t ? We had to request some extra shampoo shower gel because it wasn’t replenished . The power was turned off intermittently in the room which I don’t understand , perhaps it was some end of season cost cutting exercise ? As I’ve said these are my observations , We enjoyed our time at the Sensus experience by lavris and wouldn’t discount for a return trip . This was our first trip to Crete and loved the layed back atmosphere , there’s plenty to do in Gouves with the coast 20 mins max walk away with plenty of shops , bars and restaurants on the walk there. My wife used the spa and she wishes to thank the very professional service she received, from the girls there, the girls Mikela and Silvana were excellent at there jobs and I don’t think I have ever been so relaxed after treatments before. The lovely Marina took my booking I found her to be attentive and listened to me when I explained about some issues I have with some treatments she was knowledgable and directed me in what suited me personally. Thank you Marina.
