5 star hotels in Crete

Excellent place. Amazing food (actually too good). Nice staff. Only downer is a 100 euro "climate crisis tax" slapped on your bill at the end. If you're going to obligatorily add 100 euros to a bill. You should say this at the time of booking. When do we draw the line on this? A "water crisis tax" of 20,000 euros slapped on a check out bill? I realise it's not all their fault. But more could be done

Beautiful place to stay! Highly recommend!

Gem in Greece Absolute best surprise hotel. Loved everything about it. From service to very big rooms, lovely food, other guests etc. Will definitely return.

Stay Duration : 3 Nights The property: Beautiful, well kept and lush with vegetation. The Staff: Check-in was slightly disappointing. The person who was tasked with this responsibility was bubbling, but unfortunately distracted by other guests which took away from intended "personalize experience". Check-out was more disappointing as the person, while professional, were more pleasant towards their...

Flawless Excellent staff and property truly amazing experience

Laid back luxury. Fantastic hotel, one of the best we’ve been to. Went for baby moon. Place is quiet, full of families with very well behaved children, teen children, and couples looking for a relaxing time. All amenities are great - likely recently renovated. Food was delicious, didn’t feel the need to leave the hotel for 7 days. Sun loungers are high quality and comfortable. Room is spacious. The...

Lovely stay. Most things perfect, the atmosphere, service, breakfast, pool and beach areas. Only minus was the hotel area - there is nothing to do outside the hotel, and also the lunch restaurant had too few options. We ate lunch there every day for a week and had already tried the entire menu after three days.

Beautiful hotel. Unfortunately the sauna and steam room were 20 euros per hour extra. The pool Was too cold to swim in. Hotel staff was great and we got upgraded. The resort and most of the things in the town close up by the end of October and reopen the next year in May. Food was ok but not great.

The welcome was really well organised and very friendly. They give you a little tour when you arrive and take you to your room, which is a nice touch and helps you settle in. The hotel is quite remote, but there are a few small shops and neighbouring restaurants close by that get you through. It’s good if you want to properly switch off — it kind of forces you to relax because there isn’t loads going...

We went to Myrion with my spouse and my 70-year-old parents for a week vacation. Hotel is very modern, clean and has a beatiful pool area. Hotel also has some very pleasant scent we couldn't figure out where it came from. It was the first thing we noticed when we arrived at the lobby, and the same smell is all over the hotel's inside areas. I don't know how other guests feel about it, but we absolutely...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel from October 8th to 12th. The service was exceptional. Upon our late arrival, we were upgraded to a two-story room and treated to a complimentary Greek salad. We truly appreciated this thoughtful gesture. The hotel itself is stunning, and I couldn’t resist taking pictures of every corner😍 My husband particularly enjoyed the outdoor gym👍🏻 Overall, our stay was...

Had an amazing stay. Rooms were very comfortable and big and big balcony. There are enough beds by the pool even when the hotel was packed. Everything is clean and the food is amazing. Breakfast buffet is perfect with focus on quality and not quantity. There is a little town nearby with all sorts of restaurants and shops. A taxi can take you there for 12 euro. Chania is also just 20 minute drive. I...

Beautiful hotel with exceptional service! The staff were always friendly and attentive. Our room was elegant and very clean. Food was wonderful with great variety. Pool clean too and view so beatuful! Thank you!

Amazing view, very nice place! The Hotel has everything for a perfect holiday. Beach access is convenient and staff are wonderful, especially in Italian restaurant. Carbonara was perfect! The rooms are cozy and well kept. We like pool. Great experience overall!

Gaini is the best place to relax .Our room is very clean .The Waterpark is very beautifull and our kids sped a lot of time there .The food was delicious and it has a little of facilities for us.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable and well-maintained, and the atmosphere throughout the property was very pleasant. The bar was a real highlight - great selection of drinks, perfect for relaxing in the evening. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I’d definitely stay here...

Very nice hotel with friendly staff . The room was very clean and comfortable.The food was delicious and the drinks in the bar good!

It's the second time that I visit this hotel and I love it .The hotel is near to center of Hania and it has private beach with sunbeds .The view was fantastic and the food delicious .The rooms was big and very clean .The staff was friendly and helpful with us .

Great stay here at the hotel. The Spa team around Mikaela is awesome. If you catch a rainy day (or not) it‘s an absolute recommendation to get the full Cretan body massage - Aspasia and Ifigenia are awesome! 5/5 stars!

Spa experience with Aspasia was absolutely exceptional. From the moment the treatment began, she created such a calm and soothing atmosphere that I was able to completely switch off and relax. Her technique was outstanding, every bit of tension I had completely melted away, and I left feeling refreshed, lighter, and genuinely at ease. What made the experience even more special was the use of natural...

I took a "Sweet Love" package for my treatment option. Ifigenia, who executed the treatment, was very professional, friendly and clearly experienced at her job. Would heartily recommend the spa!

Location is good Rooms are nice but not sound insulated Really clean Employees are all really nice At the spa, we met Ifigenia and Aspasia for an extraordinary massage (both are incredible) Food is good and various

Lovely full body massage with Ifigenia, totally relaxed and looked after by this lovely lady. Very enjoyable.

Today, I had an excellent Cretan massage from Ifigenia at the Esperides Resort Crete in Koutouloufari. Ifigenia is so kind. I was really relaxed after the massage. Thank you very much Ifigenia!

The hotel facilities are extremely good and all staff friendly and personable. The buffet food was generally reasonable and the al le carte restaurant excellent. The availability of alcohol free drinks was limited and and would benefit from improving the variety and quality.

We originally chose this hotel because it seemed quiet and relaxing – exactly what we were looking for on our first holiday together (we’re 18 and 19). We were so excited to stay here, but our arrival was really disappointing. We got to the hotel just after midnight, having received an email confirming our booking, only to be told there was a “problem” with our room and we couldn’t stay. The woman...

Our son has a food allergy and there was never any problem. On the contrary, everyone tried to make him happy. Everyone in the hotel is always smiling and nice. The hotel itself is beautiful! And we already miss Aqua.

The most beautiful vacation! The spacious rooms, cleanliness, excellent and varied food, impeccable service, very welcoming staff, location in a quiet area with very nice view to the sea and the mountain. We enjoyed each evening a woderful sunset over the mountain. We also enjoyed many nice surprises from the hosts. It seams to me that they really care about you smiling and enjoying the vacation. Since...

Me and my bestfriend have just spent two weeks at Solimar Aquamarine. We booked a double room with private pool and we loved it! Every summer we book a girls trip and travel for two weeks together. This has to be the two most relaxing weeks we have had. As mentioned we had a room with private pool so we did not use the shared pool area at the hotel, but we did notice that it is not that big. Our stay...

Stayed in a superior suite with private pool & full sea view (room 126) last week of September. Think there are 9 rooms in this category. Our suite was ginormous with huge living area with sofa beds, a separate bedroom with sofa, spacious bathroom including a separate shower room & a separate bath with shower over. Great for families. Bed was huge & super comfy. Lots of storage & surfaces for your...

The hotel is perfectly pleaaant but lacks the nuanced touches of a genuine 5 star. Some ameneties such as the playground and playarea are tired but the food in the restaurants is hearty and satisfying. Our room with a pool was lovely for a family of three and modern.

Amazing, very family friendly resort, sparkling clean, very friendly staff, amazing food, mini club, animation team-all was great. Rooms of a great size, special thanks to our cleaner. We’ve stayed with own pool and it was of a great size, very private, we could relax by the pool while our baby slept inside.

A great hotel for families A great hotel, with lots of activities and entertainment for kids both big and small. The food options are great, and as a vegan I had a number of options every meal which is different to usual holiday locations. The new and old buildings mean there's plenty of space for everyone and you can always find a sunbed

Great family resort. My 5 year old loved the kids club and activities. Pools were lovely temperature (though the water slides one was cold) All inclusive wasn’t the best I’ve had. Breakfast and lunch were fine but by dinner we preferred to leave the hotel. If you go right along the beach there was an excellent place for dinner and cocktails. Overall a good hotel. We had a great time and my 5 year had...

Beautiful room (superior maisonette) with plenty of room for a family of 4. Great pools, particularly in the newer blocks for swimming (lane pool), food was good but not excellent. Entertainment was good, particularly the music quiz, acrobats and Greek night. Drinks service was good too and much better if you do the upgrade package which we did part way through our holiday. Not much going on round...

Is in a relaxing area with beachfront views and includes 3 restaurants and 2 heated pools nice and r laxing hotel we will come again for sure!

It was amazing, from the beginning we arrived until we checked out, everything was beyond exceptional. The staff was always very polite. The hotel is very modern and has everything you need for a good stay.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is very convenient, close to Heraklion city and near many other places to visit. The services were excellent, from well-kept facilities to smooth, hassle-free arrangements throughout my stay. Everything felt thoughtfully managed and designed for comfort. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Highly...

I had a wonderful stay at NEMA Design Hotel & Spa. The location is perfect, set in a beautiful and relaxing area that makes it easy to unwind from the moment you arrive. The hotel’s design and facilities are truly impressive, creating a comfortable and stylish environment throughout the property. What really stood out was the exceptional service. From the warm welcome at the reception to the attentive...

My experience at NEMA was 10/10, so much so, I’ve already booked again for next year having had such an amazing stay. Every member of staff from the reception, to the dining room, to the domestic were exemplary. They make you feel like friends and so attentive in every way you could think. My only wish is that there is an English speaking channel that isn’t the news or finances! We’ve upgraded to the...

It was a very nice stay with the best and friendliest hotel staff I have ever met. The team is very dedicated and young. The breakfast and dinner buffets are fantastic and delicious – the dessert buffet was especially outstanding. The room was super spacious and had a great pool. The large outdoor pool with the very comfortable loungers was also great. I would come back anytime. Best regards, Alex

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The jacuzzi room was outstanding—spacious, bright, and beautifully decorated. The best part was the private jacuzzi on the terrace, which made the experience unforgettable. We also really appreciated the thoughtful welcome gesture from the hotel when we arrived. The bed was very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the room was both elegant and relaxing....

This resort certainly has potential. The employees genuinely care, and want to be part of a legitimately nice property. The resort is trying hard to become a Kimpton branded hotel for IHG. Despite hasty renovations, the property is not ready for Kimpton status in my opinion. Food is great. Rooms are nice. But the surrounding area is not good at all. The beachfront is rocky and un-walkable. ...

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, such a relaxing peaceful hotel. Our room was clean with a lovely welcome bottle of wine, some fruit and two bottles of water - of which we had every day. We had a room on the second floor with a balcony which had a partial sea and mountain view. It was a quiet hotel, you couldn’t hear any noise from adjoining rooms such as the tv etc. The food selection for breakfast...

The hotel is magnificent. Ideally located by the sea. Everything is designed for the comfort of the guests. The staff were wonderful, welcoming, and responsive. The food was perfect: we thoroughly enjoyed it!

From start to finish this has just been a perfect holiday . The hotel is stunning - right on a private beach . The rooms are amazing , really modern with the added benefit of a hot tub on the terrace which we used every day. Staff are just exceptional - nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond . Really can’t fault the food - breakfast just has so much choice and we have had a couple...

Honestly, some of the best service I have ever experienced. From the big things to the tiny details, this hotel gives 100 percent in every aspect. My partner and I stayed for a week and it was absolutely amazing. We did not book an all inclusive package which meant we could enjoy both the buffet and the on-site à la carte restaurant. Both were excellent with consistently top-tier service. The hotel...

Highly recommend the spa treatments at the spa! My treatment with Eleftheria was excellent!! Peaceful and relaxing. My favorite part about the hotel

Great little place,hills and steps to contend with,so bear this in mind if booking,but they do have a golf buggy and are more than happy to assist you up and down driveway as long as you communicate with them,nice breeze around pool which is much needed with the heat,food was amazing,no complaints.

The best hotel we have stayed at. The staff were friendly and courteous, especially Albert, who seemed to be doing a range of roles from helping with baggage on arrival to waiting on food ect, a really helpful member of the team. He also had some great card tricks and helped us out with knowledge of the local area and recommended some places to visit. Gregory the bartender was another notable member...

The hotel was lovely, with an incredible view. However, we paid for a double, and we got a twin. The rooms could do with a bit of an update. The material was broken on the chairs, and the mesh blind. The bedding is old and had dirty patches. Also, I wouldn't advise staying here if you struggle with walking as it's on a very steep hill, that you have to walk up with your luggage. You can get taxis to...

Had a great time here, all the staff (especially the manager who works really hard yet was always upbeat, friendly and helpful) were fantastic and the food was enjoyable. The food was lovely, I found it all to be very tasty and got to try lots of new dishes. I haven't felt that relaxed in a long time. Thank you for a great two week stay!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and tidy. Greek food in buffet was rather good, the pasta and pizza a bit less impressive. House wines not really great, but good choice of other drinks, both with and without alcohol. A bit too few sun loungers. A bit out of town, something like 30 minutes walk. Absolutely amazing views from pool and dining areas.

Absolutely loved everything about this beautiful hotel. Our room had the most amazing view and was clean and a good size. The bed was a little hard but as soon as we mentioned this to reception, a mattress topper was added to.the bed which made a huge difference. The staff were all wonderful - all reception staff couldn't do enough to help you, Albert was great collecting and taking our luggage, restaurant...

Very nice room and very comfortable bed, with excellent facilities too. A wonderful breakfast service with an incredible range of foods to choose from. A cheerful experience with all staff members. Overall an excellent stay.

Terrific spot, beautiful rooms, lovely rooftop pool, walking distance from lots of great places but also has a parking lot which was HUGE for us. Most of all, the staff was respectful, kind, helpful, and attentive! Gave us some complimentary bits and bobs for our honeymoon which we greatly appreciated. It felt like a real high-class, high-touch experience.

Been so close to an ancient past, visiting museums and enjoying first class dining all within walking distance. Super friendly kind hearted reception at arrival. Our rooms were spacious, superior furnishings with all the amenities one could ask for in the bathroom and in the kitchen nook. In all our years of travel we have never experienced a combination of warm heartedness coupled with professionalism...

We spent one great night at Megaron Hotel during our honeymoon. We loved the hotel pool, where you can get drinks and food delivered to your chair. The pool has a great view of the harbour. Our room was spacious and clean with a large patio also overlooking the harbour (we were lucky enough to receive an upgrade on check-in, which we absolutely loved). The breakfast had so many amazing options, including...

I recently spent a few nights at Megaron Hotel in Crete, and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff were all warm and professional, - but I especially want to commend the manager, who truly went above and beyond! - She made every effort to ensure things ran smoothly and made me feel genuinely welcome. The room was immaculate and well‑appointed — comfortable bed, quiet environment...

Nice welcome from the staff. unexpected upgrade room view make our stay more memorable

Please don't take glasses (in case U don't order) from table on diner time

Room was kept clean, the cleaners are so friendly as were the pool/bar staff as well as spa. Emma the spa manager was lovely as was our therapist Dimirta. The receptionist Marta was absolutely rude on arrival and her attitude during our check in and room assignment was just shocking. The manager was able to correct and give us an alternative room which was what we paid for. Sea view room. The hotel...

The hotel come with private beach, great for the family. The hotel is clean, staff is extremely nice. It is very close to the village.

Excellent location. Beautiful property. Wonderful staff. Really enjoyed all 3 pools, the nearby beach, and everything within walking distance! My room type should not have been listed as it is “ Dazzling Blue Sea View Outdoor Hot Tub”. It is a ground floor room directly facing a fairly busy pedestrian street. Flip up blinds were closed the entire stay, so this room doesn’t truly offer even a peak...

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was welcoming, friendly, and always available. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The overall atmosphere was calm and pleasant, which allowed me to truly relax. A big thank you to the entire team for their professionalism and kindness—I'll be happy to come back!

All staff were first class, Stefanos the Restaurant Manager was five star and personable in attendance to us and it was a joy to chat with him. The pools are all amazing and accessible beach made the stay enjoyable.

We had a great stay here with our 16-month-old! The food was good, especially when we dined a la carte, by the beach. I would say this resort caters mostly to German tourists. Would suggest more entertainment, especially on Friday night (Thursday and Saturday were good but there wasn't much to do on Friday). Animation was okay - but I do believe that there is room for improvement in terms of friendliness...

Very nice place but far from a lot and no shops around. We booked the half board which included breakfast and dinner. Beware though l, the half board does not included drinks with dinner. I also did not like the fact they brought you the check even before you finished eating and then wanted to order additional drinks. There was also a charge for using the jacuzzi which I did not understand. The...

Excellent and relaxing Massage. I booked one Massage for me. And the Spa offers also some Kids Massage which was also very good reviewed from my daughter. Thank you!

We visited as a family of 5 in the October half term and couldn’t believe how quiet it was! Multiple times my children were the only ones around and in the pool, even though the pools were abit chilly the children still loved them! The water park was amazing and they children spent multiple hours in there also! The staff were outstanding, they went above and beyond every single day. I have never seen...

We spent 6 days here in August. It's pleasant enough, and the little water park is great for children - but if you're used to 5* service, luxury and environment then this will fall considerably short. We couldn't get a space at either a la carte restaurant, so buffet style it was - food really is excellent, but it's repetitive and it's all inside (no outside seating). Rooms are OK, tiried, again nit...

One of our best holidays ever! The hotel is amazing – it offers everything you need and all the facilities are modern, tidy, clean and very well maintained. The food and drink options were wonderful – diverse, fresh and delicious. The thing that makes this hotel stand out though is the staff and the management! They were always there for us! They would smile, friendly answer, advice and fulfil all...

The service was exemplary. I have stayed at multiple JW and Ritz hotels and the service here is at that level if not better. The hotel itself is immaculate. Our room was always super clean with fresh towels and sheets. The breakfast was incredible. Breads and pastries were to die for. Good location right in the middle of Hersonissos and just a few feet from the beach. Two minute walk to the bus stop...

We had the best time at Vasia Boulevard. The staff were amazingly helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotlessly clean and fresh bedding supplied everyday. The breakfast was perfect, so much choice! The hotel is well located with a huge amount of restaurants and bars on the doorstep, and lovely places like Koutouloufari and Stalis just a short distance away.

We stayed at this hotel for 6 days and had amazing service throughout! They allowed early and late checkout for us as we had difficult flight times, called us multiple taxis to get around the beautiful island and were just helpful start to finish. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Amazing place with the most polite staff I have ever met! Great welcome from the manager and Dimitris, very professional. Super clean rooms and great breakfast. Only the size of the pool is a bit annoying, but all in all was wonderful.Absolutely recommended!

Great hotel Great staff - no parking- free parking 500 meters- over the Water- take room facing the water - lots of love ❤️

We had an excellent experience by staying one week to this wonderful hotel. All people in service were professional, polite and friendly. The room and all areas around were very clean. Breakfast high quality. We had diners included and the menu had plenty of variety. The location of this hotel was a must. Near to all bars and shop areas. Right on the beach area.

Possibly the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The facilities and the grounds are exquisite and the staff are above and beyond. The restaurant serves some of the most delicious food I have ever eaten.

The understated elegance that fully takes at advantage of the natural views that come with this location is truly stunning. We truly appreciated the food and the service I this amazing spot. Each experience met every expectation Our room may have been the nicest room we had stayed in as the combination of view and quality of room

This was our first time to this part of Crete and therefore Phaea Blue and we were not disappointed. We were greeted at the door and led into the lobby area where we were checked in and given a complimentary drink before being taken to our room by buggy. We absolutely loved our room (723) from which we could see the island of Spinalonga. The room included a huge bathroom, walk in closet and a good...

It was our second visit this year, and once again we enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful holiday. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel staff recognized us and made us feel as if we were returning to our second home. The restaurants were excellent, very good quality, offering delicious breakfasts with a small buffet and à la carte options , you must try the poached eggs with avocado and...

Misleading Marketing Negatives Marketing and website over sells. It is misleading. It is not a boutique hotel. It has the feel of a large hotel, which after a bit of research was the case. It rebranded and remarketed in 2024. Some parts of the complex feel a bit dated. The rooms have all the amenities but the decor is very early 2000’s and needs a refresh to justify the prices. The pool and surroundings...

Although we had a lovely holiday, Phaea blue was not what we expected when we booked a ‘boutique hotel’. It has the feel of a 200 room hotel and upon further research this was the case up until about 12 months ago when it went through a rebrand. The style of the website and awards for small hotel etc in our opinion are very misleading. In general there are many things on site that feel a bit dated...

We spent a week in the Aegean Pearl, right at the end of the season in October, and had a fantastic week. Although it’s a small hop across the road to the beach, there is a pedestrian crossing and the hotel has its own section of beach with sun loungers and umbrellas. There’s also a water sports kiosk only 20m away, for parasailing, jet skis etc. The hotel has a nice pool (although a bit fresh!) and...

This was our second visit to this lovely hotel. The hotel is situated across the road from the beach, with an approximate 30-40 minute flat walk to the old town of Rethymnon. Alternatively you can use the local bus or taxis available from outside the hotel. The hotel is kept clean and tidy. The rooms and beds are comfortable and we slept really well. We found the food at both breakfast and dinner...

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Made us all very welcome. Breakfast was second to none and definitely 5 star..bedrooms well equipped and spotless excellent shower and comfy beds. Also we were allocated 2 very quite rooms with side sea view. Provided travel cot and all bedding for infant. Plus tea and coffee in a daily basis to use in our rooms

Lovely experience from the hotel. clean bedrooms- with towels and daily cleaning to high standards Perfect beachside location, the private beach is delivery to a bed for drinks and snacks. The lady doing this was lovely!!! The concierge could not do enough she deserves a pay rise, whilst bar staff were knowledgeable and friendly. We will be back.

perfect location for a holiday - Uli was a credit to the company. Friendly staff nice rooms and entertainment every night. Cleaners were lovely and did a great job, bar staff were all superb. To top it all drinks are delivered to your sun bed on the beach. This staff member was a delight - we will be back

The hotel enjoys a very convenient location - just a short walk to some excellent cocktail bars (special mention to Bora Bora), yet pleasantly set away from the busy crowds. The staff are warm, attentive, and welcoming. The food is fresh, varied each evening, and offers very good value for money. The only downside during our stay was the inability to extend our room after check-out, despite the option...

The best place we have ever been too! I cannot say anymore!! Everything was stunning!! Staff were amazing! I cannot wait to return!

This is a beautiful hotel and 99% of the staff were amazing & couldn’t have done more. 😄 Pool was lovely and beach front Food was wonderful & varied beautifully cooked, wonderful flavours Great entertainment Met some lovely people And now for us the negatives & why we wouldn’t return We booked through TUI UK and transfer time stated 90 minutes which for me after back surgery was at my limit however...

What an amazing hotel....the room was beautiful beds were comfortable. The staff were very attentive an always happy to help. Everything was immaculately clean. Sunbeds were the most comfortable ones I have encountered and lying on the ones by the sea was absolute bliss. The decor was quirky but in a really good way I loved it so much we have now used it to inspire our newly decorated bedroom. A absolute...

My husband and I had a good time at the Pepper Sea Club. The service from all the staff was Outstanding. They were Friendly, attentive and Accommodating. The room was spotless and had all the amenities that was needed. The Food was to die for, they catered for everyone's need a wide variety to choose from, we were spoilt for choice. I DEFINITELY recommend this hotel.

Wonderful experience at this hotel. Great variety of food. Room lovely and cleaners were hardworking and pleasant. Lovely touches left in our room. Pool was amazing and gardens well looked after. Returning again in 2026 as we had such a relaxing holiday. We have been visiting Rhodes for around 25 yrs .... our favourite island. View their live webcam. We are from South Devon UK.

An exceptional hotel with very friendly staff excellent food and spotless everywhere.The rooms are a generous size and we'll serviced and the spa treatments are 1st class. So good we booked to go again

A very very special hotel, with special staff and very special facilities. The food is exceptional, the drinks options fantastic and the upgrades in report for 2026 are total quality. A fabulous week. A calm location and relaxing atmosphere, spotless through out.

After two wonderful stays in 2025, we've already booked for 2026. We can't wait to return to this resort. For us, it's one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean (…and we've stayed at many others). The staff are exceptionally kind, and the security is top-notch. Ostria is so wonderful that we plan to return every year as part of our Mediterranean summer itinerary.

The hotel itself was very nice — clean, comfortable, and in a great location. However, we did feel that English guests weren’t treated as warmly as others. As a young couple, we sometimes felt we were dismissed or not taken as seriously, which was a shame. Some staff also came across as a bit rude or uninterested when we tried to communicate, and we noticed we weren’t kept as up to date on activities...

The rooms were extremely comfortable with everything needed for our stay. The hotel was very well thought out with quiet areas away from the nosier entertainment area along with an adult bar and pool where you could enjoy the surroundings and relax. The beach and sea were very pleasant with beautiful clear sea. When we first stepped inside the hotel it felt calm and relaxing. The location was...

Me and my partner stayed at the hotel the first week of September. We arrived at the hotel around 2:30am, the staff at reception were very helpful and had food set up in the buffet for our arrival. We got taken by a kart to our room and showed around the resort and given lots of information by the driver. The room itself was beautiful and spacious and there was plenty of storage. It got cleaned every...

I stayed at Ostria Resort & Spa in Crete with just my daughter, and it was truly a holiday we will never forget. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that instantly made us feel at home. The resort itself is stunning – beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and set against the most breathtaking backdrop of the Cretan sea. The atmosphere felt both luxurious...

We went to this hotel because of the view and the sauna - and we got so positively suprised! The sea view is spectacular, just outside the window. 🌊💫the breakfast amazing with options à la varte. The people working there was very friendly also. Thanks a lot and hope to be back! 💞

Amazing hotel and staff, the breakfast is great add, wine in the room!

Absolutely incredible!!! The staff were amazing, it was super new and clean. The architecture was great and the breakfast was the highlight for us.

Incredible experience in this lovely hotel in Chania. Everything was perfect, from the service to the restaurant.

Everything was incredible from the moment we arrived. Early check in was available, the team arranged parking for our car. Had dinner both nights at the restaurant and can’t fault the food, my chef partner loved everything on the menu. Staff were so attentive and lovely. Good location if you’re looking for somewhere slightly out of town, a little quieter. Only a 20ish minute walk into old town.

A very unique/ strange property set amongst derelict buildings. The hotel itself is very upmarket, clean and modern. The Moet and nibbles in the room on arrival was a lovely touch. A shuttle to town could have been useful with no real bar there. The walk is 20-30 minutes Breakfast was great with lots of choice and great outlook. Some homeless boys showed up outside asking for money and looking...

Amazing hotel in a great location. Beautiful and clean, nothing too much trouble. The staff were really helpful and the rooms well equipped with everything you need. All inclusive includes a fridge of drinks which are refilled each day including fizzy drinks, water and beer. Sunbeds were a little difficult to get around adult pools mid-September but not a major issue. There was a wide range of foods...

We had great holidays in Crete. The Service was friendly, especially Giorgos from the Lobby bar, he was absolutely nice. Every evening he brought us excellent drinks and was always so nice and friendly! The cats in the Hotel also were very friendly and nice! 🐱 The Jacuzzi was not heated, unfortunately, even though they said so. But the "private beach" was very nice. The rooms were nice with a nice...

Certainly lives up to its 5* rating. Thoroughly clean & cleanliness maintained in all aspects of the complex. Hotel rooms spotlessly clean. Excellent quality bed linen & bathroom towels. Great variety of professionally presented entertainment provided in the evening. Dining was a luxury experience throughout our holiday. Choice of meals & options was 5*. All food was presented impeccably, freshly prepared...

Thoroughly enjoyed a week here in mid-October. Great food options and some fun on-site activities. Pools were chilly, but it was near the end of the season so not surprising and because it is not a winter resort I don't expect outdoor pools to be heated. All staff we encountered were really helpful. Would come again for another relaxing week to do not a lot.

Cleaniness was impeccable, pool was freezing

Not quite a five star hotel. Needs some improvements. Pools are freezing and some tiles are missing. Alcohol selection poor. Cushions on bed had stains need cleaning.

Perfect accomodation, very clean and spacious, also the furniture is very modern and new. The best is the private outdoor area with a private pool. There is a fence around this area, for a maximum of privacy. The food in the restaurant is very, very tasty and of a very high quality, if you like greek food. (sea food, meat, etc.) The staff is very, very friendly and helpful in every situation. It...

5 star luxury retreat. The staff were amazing, the food divine and the resort defiantly 5 star. Loved that any meal was brought to your room if requested. On time and piping hot. Loved that they would do a shopping run for you too. Nothing was too much bother for the staff. Genuinely happy staff that cared about their customers visiting. We look forward to returning to this hotel/resort.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff in particular Mike and Babis were so welcoming and looked after us in the restaurant. The villas are well equipped and the private pools a really good size. The gym was a little dated but you could get a half decent workout in.

We had the majority of our meals in the restaurant and were well looked after by Mike and Babis. It was some of the best food and service we’ve had. The gym was compact. Some of the equipment could do with being upgraded but what...

This was our second visit to Paradise Villas, and they did not disappoint! The staff are incredibly dedicated, hard working, and ensure that you can relax and enjoy your stay. We love the versatility of being able to sit by one of the two communal pools, or stay by your own pool in your private garden. Cannot recommend this resort enough if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, and we cant wait...

Finally returning to the real Paradise after over 10 years of absence. This is our third time there, after twice in 2012+2013, and now again in 2025! What can I say - it was such a wise choice to return! Everything that made it a magical paradise in the past has stayed the same, and on top of that, some things were even upgraded (the new pool and renovated eating area are beautiful). I can't say...
