Hotels with sauna in Kato Gouves

I had a Spa Day and treatment - staff were excellent, sauna and jacazzui lovely. On a duller day took kids to the Aquarium which was good and only 30 min walk e/w along the seafront

We didnt try the restaurants and stuck with Buffet which a wide range and variety of dishes - even Chinese! The cakes and desserts were exemplary! Drinks wise kids were happy with sodas and we drank the Minoan Era lager which we really liked

It’s also a great place if you like cats! The only negative is not being a beachfront resort but having said that, the five minute walk to the beach is quite pleasant

My family and I had a lovely holiday at Gouves. The staff were excellent, particularly Maria at Poseidon Bar who could not do enough for us

Food was excellent: I have two fussy eaters and they could always find something to eat at the Buffet

The pizza, gyros and ice cream during the day was very tasty! We didn't go to the a la carte restaurants, so can't comment on those

The property has been recently renovated: the common areas are spacious, well designed and, above all, extremely clean, with staff constantly working to maintain every area spotless

We have stayed in this hotel (All Inclusive). This hotel is excellent in all areas, the quality of service is top notch, and the environment is super Chill!!!!

Good location, atmosphere is amazing, all the staff are very friendly and i really liked the room with a sea view. In short, I definitely recommend this place

Beachfront resort in a very convenient location, just a short distance from the airport. Large private parking area available free of charge

A special thank you to the waitresses Georgia and Antigoni, who were serving our section. Besides being professional and extremely efficient, just like the rest of the staff, they always had a smile on their faces

As in many parts of the island, toilet paper cannot be flushed in the WC. Finally, we would like to sincerely thank Ms. Fani from the Guest Experience Team, who made us feel like part of the family

Only things we didn’t like much was bathroom not having walls (yes, it was open, except toilet), the air con being positioned above bed instead of a place where you don’t feel the cold air blowing into us while sleeping and the mosquitos, which made leavibg window open impossible (mosquito nets in windows would have been great)

We made a complaint to the reception regarding our glass toilet door making an aweful noise when opening and closing as it was getting caught on something 3 times we reported it and was told nothing wrong with it

Lovely large hotel with 4 pools! Right beside the beach. ( over the road) Free sunbeds for residents. So much choice on the buffet meals, each breakfast and evening meal. Great shower and all toiletries in the room

Entertainment was good, but the DJ by the pool during the day may have been a bit too loud and struggled to find the right songs for daytime djing, put me off my relaxation and had to put earphones in at times

i took a video to reception of the door and now small shards of glass. they soon took notice and repaired the fault. Booked a massage/ they changed the time to fit other ppl in so moved our appointment

The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. A special mention goes to the lovely lady in the hotel shop – she is simply amazing, warm, and welcoming 💛

The staff are great here everyone very friendly, Sypro’s at the pool bar looked after us really well and went over and above and made the best cocktails! Thank you! Also the lady at breakfast with red and black braids she was very cheerful every morning always in high spirits

There isn’t that much going on in the town/village but we started off getting taxis to the main places but then rented a car from across the hotel for €130 for 5 days which saved us lots of money, as it’s around €25 each way to get to an from the main towns near by

Another place to try is peskesi watch the YouTube video on it, it shows what it’s all about and the food was some of the best we tried, we didn’t drink but starter, main and two sides with a bottle of water and beer came to €50 euros

We went half board which was good we were happy because they said we can swap evening meal for lunch which worked for us as we like to eat out in different places in the evening

We didn’t manage to make it but the Greek night at knossos in the village looked and sounded great, we went on a normal night and the owners were so welcoming so give that ago

Hotel is good food, good variety with all all inclusive hotel food it’s a little samey but I can’t complain

The place is very clean, stylish and a real 5-star hotel. We went to free Pilates session & cookie session. Service is very accommodating, sauna open specially for us untill 21:00 instead of 18:00

They had fantastic vegan options at all the restaurants we visited from the breakfast buffet, to the Blue Monkey, Xasteria and Minotaur which we truly appreciated. The property was beautifully maintained

We enjoyed our stay. All the hotel staff were very attentive and friendly. The hotel is extremely family friendly. The only downside was the limited variety of fruits available at breakfast.

The very first thing that struck us was the beauty of the place — absolutely breathtaking. But also the cleanliness, the facilities, the room, the food, and the professionalism of the staff

Evgenia, for answering all of our questions at the front desk. Anastasia for greeting us each morning during breakfast with a warm smile and delicious coffee

Wonderful and relaxing stay at this beautiful hotel. Had a wonderful massage at the spa

The literature states that you can't save sunbeds for later which seemed to stop the breakfast rush to claim them! The rooftop pool was beautiful and quiet for the serious sunbathers and there were two lower pools which were more family friendly

I had a shoulder impingement and I am now able to move my shoulder and arm so much better! My daughter had a relaxing massage by Ifigeneia and she found it amazing and extremely relaxing. We would highly recommend both!!

The food was varied and there was something for everyone although, being vegetarian, it was disappointing that sometimes the bean salads had meat added to them which limited my options

The main bar was open from 10am daily. The all inclusive drinks were varied and everyone found a favourite cocktail. Good range of spirits included too and the coffee & hot chocolate from the machines was good quality

Could buy water and other drinks. Really enjoyed our time together

Stayed for 1 week in this beautiful, clean well maintained hotel. We booked a swim up room which was absolutely glorious. We were very lucky as our room had the sun all day whereas the majority of others didn't

The staff was nice and helpful, the rooms were beautifully cleaned every day, the food was very very tasty. Overall, the hotel was clean, the pools were clean, the sunbeds were washed regularly, as were the sidewalks

Since the all-day animation programs were full of various activities and a different special program every evening, we didn't have time to go see much anywhere else, it was so delicious and fun

We took our water shoes, but in the end they were not needed, as the beach was just clean sand, nothing else. A shop with groceries and other things right next to the resort if not part of it

The beach with the sea right across the road from the resort, so it was a great location! The sea was beautiful, clean and the beach was also the cleanest I have ever seen

We spent 8 days (7 nights) at the Astir Beach Hotel and it was the best and most beautiful vacation I have ever had! It left strong memories and feelings in me

Another shopping arcade a few meters in front of the hotel, very close. The hotel is only a few minutes from the airport

Simply spectacular, 100% worth the stay in such a wonderful, family-friendly place. There's a bus from the airport to the hotel door, basically

just back after a 2 week family holiday for 12 7 adults 4 kids and a baby the hotel is at best 3 stars but very clean the food for me was awful so ate out every day the kids loved the pool and most of the staff are very helpful and friendly the man that does the excursions was extremely helpful and if you need to hire a car speak to him he is cheap and does all the hard work for you entertainment...

We also hired a car for a week (€315), and it was brilliant – hassle-free, no push for extra insurance, and a great way to see the island, which is huge. Highly recommend getting a car if you want to explore properly

We had a lovely stay at Club Lyda Hotel and would definitely return. The staff were absolutely fantastic – incredibly friendly and always willing to do whatever they could to make our stay better

Entertainment was minimal, but we stayed at the end of the season, so that might explain it. Overall, ignore the harsh reviews – this is a lovely hotel with wonderful staff, great pools, and good value for money

The food was the only real let-down. While there was variety, it would be nice to have some more simple options. It’s not terrible, but it is the one area where the hotel could really improve

And a large open sand beach is about 400m from that. I redacted 1 star for the location, because the bus stop is also relatively "far" away, about 1km. Also the hotel is very kind to the stray cats that live in the area

Staff- they go above and beyond to help you and meet needs of families with babies. They offered to prepare food for our 6 month old without any salt and blended it

Reception and restaurant staff always greet you with a smile and make conversations. Lift in the main building which makes it easier with the pram

Good vibes, very recommended ! Super animation team, atmosphère very good. Very nice people ! We enjoyed our time here !!

The room was nice. Service: Very good, a day's life is worry-free, renting a car and staying here is extremely cost-effective

Location- very close proximity to the sea, some sandy and rocky beaches within few minute walk

Hotel is old and you can see that not a lot has been spend on maintenance. There is no option of double bed. There are always two single beds put together. Bathrooms are dated but clean. Some rooms have unpleasant smell

There is a local cockerel waking up just after 4 am every day, neighborhood dog that barks most of the day and night but when it's quiet you can hear waves and crickets. All together you getting what you have paid for

Very limited AI , pool bar was still closed , we have been promised daily that it will open the next day. AI drinks include beer, raki ,ouzo and brandy, local soft drinks. No gin or vodka or anything else like that

The bad points: Towels changed only once a week , bedding not changed at all, cleaning staff really horrible, food absolutely the same every day (although hot meals are not bad at all)

AI starts 10 am finishes 10 pm. Rooms are very dated, we had to move from our first room as sink and toilet both had a leak and bathroom tiles been coming of the wall

I can't imagine how this place manages during the season , all staff runs between tables and behind the bar being rushed by management

My husband and I are very pleased with our stay and we would like to thank the entire hotel staff for the wonderful atmosphere. Kind regards , Renata and Piotr

I’m really impressed with the standard this hotel represents. The food is delicious, and the cakes? I’ve never had better ones. Everything is perfectly clean

The rooms are thoroughly cleaned every day – huge respect to the ladies who take care of this ♥️. The hotel’s location is a big plus. Crete is the most beautiful island. The reception staff are simply the best ♥️ JP

Even tho it was all-inclusive we were supposed to have only one drink per person, what is pretty frustrating when you are enjoying day in pools that are 5 min per walk away and you have to go there all the time

We stayed here for a week (all inclusive) Rooms - quite nice room, nothing to complain about regarding dispositions or furniture. We had issue with doors, that were not locking - resolved in an hour

Missing toilet paper and shower gel were also resolved, but we had to remind them twice. Service - in general it was really good, but in bar we had experienced not really nice service
