Daios Cove

Agios Nikolaos, Kritsa, 72100 Vathi, Gretsiya (5 km from centre) 🧭

Beautiful spot and much better out of season as in season it gets too crowded. love the private beach. Could be more space around the pool.

Similar story to some other reviews- we really wanted to love this place and had high hopes. We have been to many Ikos and Lux resorts and thought this would be on par. I have never wrote a review before but thought if I had read something similar before booking, it would have given me the heads up. They advertise premium alcohol, but every day when we ordered a bottle of wine, we had an issue. Most...

We had a lovely week at this resort in Oct. Very organised on arrival, a buggy took us to our room, which was a deluxe sea view. Very beautiful large room with large fridge, very comfortable bed and excellent shower. We chose to sit on the beach for the first few days, plenty of loungers available and nice to have the beach restaurant very close. However on the second day we felt we were swamped with...

We stayed here with teenage children and older parents. Brilliant location on a beautiful cove. The design of the hotel is superb and the rooms really nice. The service let it down and it had a real end of season feel about it. Many requests for items like room service or champagne were refused or downgraded because they claimed to be running out. Not sure if that was true or just an attempt at...

What can I say? Food amazing, staff amazing, location amazing Absolutely perfect!! I would highly recommend this hotel and in particular the Ocean restaurant ( food and staff simply the best) Some tips to get the best out of your stay Book restaurants before you come Get a subbed to the left of the beach for maximum sun

Lovely hotel, friendly staff and great food/drink. Our second time visiting with a young child and we cannot fault the place- thank you.

Blue Marine Resort and Spa Hotel

Agios Nikolaos, Ammoudara, 72100 Ammoudara, Gretsiya (60 min from centre) 🧭

Blue Marine has a very peaceful location, so if you're looking for a relaxing experience and amazing views, this might be a great choice. We had a large balcony facing the sea and it was really nice in the evenings when the temperature got milder. The room was all in all clean. We struggled a bit with the toilet door lock which seemed to be old and the door handle wasn't very stable. This was our...

Excellent as usual 13th time at his hotel we love it, food excellent and varied choices at each meat, staff very friendly and always helpful . This year he man pool is heated which is a plus

Stayed at this property for 11 nights with my wife and 2 year old daughter. We arrived around 10:30pm and Nelia who checked us in and said if we would like to check in after going to the creparie as they were serving food before closing at 11pm which was helpful. When we checked in we were then given the tourist tax of €165 for the 11 nights which was very expensive but I know not the hotels fault...

We were 8 female friends from school on our annual long weekend away in early October. We had 4 rooms side by side on the 4th floor with a beautiful view of the sea. The rooms are beautifully decorated with twin beds, dressing gowns, shower gel, shampoo & conditioner, coffee machine, kettle and tea bags, water & soft drinks in the fridge, aircon, fan, hairdryer and safe. The hotel is modern and tastefully...

EDIT: I'm rewriting my review because the hotel was so kind to act on my comments. Thank you again. Not a lot of hotels do this. We are now at the moment enjoying our stay at the hotel..

We are now at the moment enjoying are stay at the hotel.. In overal I would say this is more of a 4 star hotel instead of 5. Reasons for this are: - The rooms are renovated but some parts have an awefull finish.. especially the toilets and showers - The showergels are not refilled when empty - We are only allowed to eat one time in each a la carte restaurant in the hotel - No ATM or possibility to...

Niko Seaside Resort Crete - MGallery Collection

Agios Nikolaos, Akti Koundourou 20, 72100 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (in the centre) 🧭

Stayed at NIKO for a long weekend in mid October - we had the BEST weather (sunny and warm but not too hot) and really enjoyed our time there. The views are just stunning (definitely recommend sea-view rooms). Great service and attention to detail. Breakfast buffet is excellent and all hotel staff from reception to bar/restaurant are incredibly nice and helpful. Thanks in particular to Manos, the night...

We had an upgrade which was lovely. Breakfast plentiful and varied but fried eggs had been out for a while. Having said that the service was excellent and I could probably have asked for fresh ones.

We enjoyed our short stay at the property. Rooms are beautiful and stunning views. Breakfast was delicious and the location is great.

Lovely hotel, super location on the beach short walk to centre (lake) 5 mins only, supermaket outside, reasonable spa, lovely room nice decor, amazing amaneiteis - Cool Clarins bottle red color, breakfast restaruarant on 5/F overlooking the sea, infinty pool all great

Nice hotel. Very odd for 5* place to have to pay a deposit! Don't they trust their guests? Excellent breakfast.

I’m not your normal busybody who leaves reviews for anything I am however exceptionally fussy and this by far is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in having visited many hundreds of hotels over the last 40 years the room the staff the food everything was superb and the location is fantastic

Minos Beach Art Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

Agios Nikolaos, Crete, 72100 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (in the centre) 🧭

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...

Minos Palace Hotel & Suites - Adults Only

Agios Nikolaos, Ammoudiou, Ag. Nikolaos, 72100 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (in the centre) 🧭

Our stay at this hotel was fantastic, the property was spotless, architecture gorgeous, environment serene. It felt like a spa stay; the spa itself was nice though maybe not worth it for just the drop-in pools (the ‘sauna’ especially). It was walking, albeit a good 30-40 min, distance to town which was filled with cute cafes, shopping and fantastic dinner spots. The water was pristine, loungers comfy...

Excellent splurge location for a couple. We stayed for 3 nights at the end of our trip and loved it. The service is great, breakfast is excellent with amazing views. Its a good location to get out and explore the area. I do recommend eating dinner elsewhere and I will review the Mom restaurant in another google review.

Great location, clean and relaxing hotel.

A Cretan Delight Minos Palace was simply excellent from the moment we checked-in thru to our departure. The rooms are immaculate, the restaurant areas amongst the best we’ve been to, the quality of cooking at the restaurants is world class. It’s an absolute gem.

Very beautiful location and surroundings. Very nice little beach. Staff were all great. Outside gym could have been upgraded

unique view, quiet and relaxing atmosphere, very nice staff and the most beautiful property

Beautiful! Wish we stayed longer!

Amazing stay all around but would call out the staff is fantastic lead by Dimitris, the daily breakfast in room, the comfort and cleanliness, the location, everything was perfection - stay here if you can.

Very nice location, the town here is so quaint & lovely. The room was great, bed comfortable and I was in love with the plunge pool. Short walk to the beach & the restaurant next door was great. The breakfasts delivered to your room were so good & presentation was the cutest. Parking on-site which was great.

Best hotel I stayed at in Crete Excellent hotel, room was beautiful, pool was clean, staff was amazing. 10/10!

My wife and I stayed in the Unique Suite for 4 nights during our honeymoon. Everything about the Sand Suites was absolutely fantastic, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. The suite (the pool is even more amazing than pictures suggest) and location so close to the beautiful Almyros beach and short drive to Agios Nikolaos made this a wonderful stay. What really elevated our stay though was the...

We stayed for a week in the unique suite. It is as spectacular as it looks on the pictures. The pool is massive for 2 people and the views are stunning. Everything is super clean and beautiful decorated. Breakfast being brought to your room every morning was delicious and enough food for lunch. The service was outstanding!

Comfortable, spacious, quiet, pretty garden, nice landscape, everything clean, delicious and varied food, very friendly and helpful staff, good Wifi, wide choice of TV channels. The (artificial) sand beach is quite small, but was enough for the number of guests at the time. Terraces with comfortable sun loungers next to the beach. Wide choice of rooms types. I had a bungalow with sea view. Comfortable...

To be honest, this hotel has a room for improvement. I will rate it 4 with a half stars. But our stay was a good one: good variety of food, including fish for dinners within half board stay, cava for a breakfast. Always clean everywhere, possibly to use tennis wand equipment for free of charge, parking. Hotel doesn’t provide water within the stay (only one welcome bottle), so you need to pay for drinks...

I had a wonderful stay at Tui Blue Elounda Village Resort & Spa by AQUILA. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The beach access and pool area were fantastic, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Absolutely fantastic stay! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and the rooms were immaculate with stunning views. The amenities were top-notch, especially the pool and spa. Every detail, from the delicious breakfast to the personalized service, made our experience unforgettable. We can’t wait to return—highly recommend!

Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort

Elounda, Pigadakia (45 min from centre) 🧭

We stayed at Elounda Peninsula in October as a family of three in room 3159, which had a private pool and split level. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised because the room was much better in person than in the photos on the hotel’s website. The photos were quite limited, so we didn’t know exactly what to expect, but the space and layout were far beyond what we imagined. We arrived late,...

Just had a five day stay - truly magical. Hotel is on a secluded cove with private beach, sea view rooms and very short drive to Agios Nikolaos or Elounda towns. It is Greek owned so not a big nameless chain, yet very luxurious with a six senses spa. The staff are friendly and attentive, they helped us celebrate a very special moment with all these sweet touches, and there are numerous food options...

Top-notch hotel. Breakfast restaurant cleverly situated to be out of the wind but have a fantastic sunrise view. Rooms excellent. Pools are luxurious but all salt water so doesn't feel so impactful on the environment. Really nice to float tbh!

We had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this hotel. The beach was absolutely perfect—calm, relaxing, and picturesque, with soft sand in and out of the water. It was great for both kids and adults, and access to boating activities could not have been easier. Truly the highlight of our trip. The breakfast was excellent, both in quality and presentation, with beautiful views to start the...

We had an amazing stay at Elounda Peninsula this past week! The hotel is in a really gorgeous area that feels set up like a small village. The rooms are so spacious and it had a fantastic view of the water. There's a ton of activities to do both at the hotel and nearby, and so many options for dining (we loved Sumosan, Old Mill, and Greek Opa night). Even the room service was consistently very good...

Incredible experience! This was an amazing property and the service, along with the amenities were great from start to finish!

absolutely phenomenal. if i could live in this hotel I would. the beach is stunning, staff is kind and helpful, and the rooms are spacious and clean. the only downside is the beds are not very comfortable, but besides that everything is lovely.

This was our favorite place to stay on our two week trip around Greece. The hotel itself is beautiful and very clean. The room was amazing also and the bathroom was very nice. We enjoyed sitting at the beach and enjoyed the restaurants at night and the breakfast was really good too!

We recently had our wedding at Elounda Porto/ Peninsula, and from start to finish, the whole experience was incredible. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable — nothing was ever too much to ask, and the staff were always so accommodating not only to us but also to our wedding guests.

We had a relaxing stay at Port Elounda Resort, a luxuary hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. A special thanks to Anthi at reception, who was incredibly kind, always ready to help with any issue, and did so with a genuine smile. Her assistance made our experience even more enjoyable.

The first day we arrived, we went to the restaurant for lunch. The service was terrible. We waited for over an hour to get our food. Also, I booked two of the same rooms. One room and balcony were much bigger than the other. When I said something to the front desk about it, they just said both rooms were of the same "quality/rank", but that is totally not true.

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.

My review is based on what we paid for a family of 4, all inclusive, it was definitely worth the special offer price, however it is not a 4* hotel (though we didn’t pay 4* prices).

One issue was a lack of storage; as a family...

Lovely hotel in a great location. Walking distance to Elounda, plenty of entertainment from reps that clearly love their jobs, and beautiful views. We had a shared private pool which was lovely.

This is one of the very first 5-star hotels built in the area, and the clear foresight of its creator must be acknowledged.

Facilities: A bit dated Cleanliness: Okay Environment: Beautiful with blue skies and white clouds Service: A bit slow, but generally friendly. Mostly white people, no discrimination against those with yellow skin.

We were delighted w our room w its own private pool. Buffet food was super and easy to change for lunch instead of dinner. Staff were very polite and helpful. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Would def recommend for couples and families. The resort is in a steep incline so less suitable for people w mobility difficulties.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel on the beach and within easy walking distance from the centre of Agios Nikolaos.

There are two large pools (and a smaller one) with plenty of sunbeds and parasols; also nice shady areas for those wishing to avoid the sun...

Agios Nikolaos, Kritsa, 72100 Ammoudara, Gretsiya (45 min from centre) 🧭

We stumbled across this amazing place sort of by accident, having pre-booked other accommodation in the area but didn’t like it when we got there. So we had to find a suitable alternative very quickly. This place is magical! It’s in such a special place and has an wonderful energy. Early November is a beautiful time to go - very peaceful beach, exquisite clear water, calm, and such a warm welcome....

The room, place, food, beach is excellent. Manus and Asimina were the best host we ever had experienced. We will be coming again to the place and we highly recommend the place to visit a place just like a paradise

I ‘ve stayedin Faedra Beach hotel this year in august. The servise was eficient. I liked the hotel staff, always helpful, friendly and welcome. I felt I was the local amongs them. The room was clean, and being cleaned every morning. Also the hotel location and it’s restaurant right away to the beach, with it’s support at the beach with various snacks and beverages. Location was convenient to reach...

Many thanks to the hotel Faedra Beach Resort for our summer family vacation in July 2025. I want to note the very friendly and hospitable staff. All issues were resolved quickly and without problems. Dear Greeks, you are the best ❤️. We were not in Greece for the first time and are very grateful to you for your attitude towards tourists! The hotel is small but very comfortable. There is everything...

Little gem with everything we needed, very friendly and personable. Perfect in every way.

We visited during off season. Manos ist super nice and friendly. We Had a room Upgrade with big balcony and perfect ocean view, its a really nice and comftable hotel with a great beach directly by the Hotel . We enjoyed this place a lot!

Vasia Ormos Hotel

Agios Nikolaos, Ormos, 72100 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (in the centre) 🧭

Nice quiet clean hotel set off a quiet bay about 35 mins walk from the centre of Agios Nikolaos. The staff were friendly and there was a good selection for breakfast. We were in main building with a garden view and the room was a good size with a mini fridge and kettle. The walk to Ag.Nik. is fine in daylight as there is a narrow pavement which turns into a promenade after about 15mins walk. At night...

Nice hotel outside the centre of town but close enough to still get in easily and with some local shops and tavernas close by as well. Restaurant is very expensive for what it is in the evenings and even the staff are clearly embarrassed about that. OTOH they did lay on a free hot meal for late arrivals which wasn't expected but was greatly appreciated. Staff were always polite and helpful. Breakfast...

Beautiful grounds. Very quiet and peaceful. Good breakfast and clean rooms. However no atmosphere whatsoever. Evening meal terrible and expensive. No music or entertainment in evening. Says bus stop outside but no buses directly into Agios Nic. Small beach but not nice for swimming. Got the impression hotel was nearer to the town but too far to walk for older people. Most of the staff lovely but some...

We stayed here following a 4 star holiday in Chania last year. Although the communal areas of the hotel are lovely, the pool areas and rooms need updating badly. We were given double rooms in the detached block which were cleaned with fresh towels daily. The storage was poor so we lived out of our cases and were woken through the night by loud air con fans (external not ours) and I heard others complaining...

Great location, clean throughout and staff are friendly. Manager is great. Our room was 206 in the main building. Lovely view and had everything we needed. Quiet location. Ate out every night in different location. 2 lovely beach front restaurants 10 mins away at Amoudi Beach. Town about a further 20 mins. Had a wonderful holiday and would definitely return. So long as it remains adults only...

Rooms were spotless and very comfortable, with a great sea view from the spacious balcony. However, we had to move rooms as our first room (205) was right next to an extremely noisy extractor on the outside wall, which was on throughout the night and prevented us from sleeping. Good choice for breakfast but evening buffet was disappointing. Pool areas were well laid out with comfortable sunbeds. ...

Meliti Hotel

Agios Nikolaos, Epar. O. Agioy Nikolaoy, Vrouchas, 72100 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (45 min from centre) 🧭

A very nice hotel situated overlooking the bay in agios Nikolaos. Rooms are light and airy with rooms cleaned on a daily basis with fresh towels. The staff are amazing and so friendly and the breakfast has a huge choice from fresh meat and cheese to yoghurt cereal and sausages and bacon. To there's also fresh bread and rolls to choose from and a vast array of dried fruit and even cakes and doughnuts...

Cute hotel with great views in the breakfast area, and nice staff. Also, the view of the hill at the semi-private pools is beautiful. The cleaning was done thoroughly daily in our room. As a nice bonus, there is a cute cat that comes to join at breakfast time every other day.

Wonderful stay in this hotel. We were half board. The staff is super pleasant and available. Very complete breakfast. Evening meals change every day (be careful, it's very generous for small and medium appetites 😉). Super nice swimming pool with a beautiful view of the sea, beach nearby. Free on-site parking. The only downside is a cramped shower (standard room with sea view). But that did not detract...

Great location and the view is awesome. Has a lot more potential to be honest. Rooms were very good although some details prove that they could be a lot cleaner and i cannot accept that in the price given the TV is not smart. Personally i hate when showers don’t have a door and the whole bathroom becomes soaking wet. Bathroom in particular needs more attention regarding a customers hygiene. Essence...

We had a great time here in off-season, my rating is based on the price and value you get. We had only Breakfast (Agios Nicolais has a tons of choices for lunch and dinner) that offered all we expected e.g. fresh fruit, eggs, omelette - the only drawback was the coffee and juices are not fresh and came from a kind of “instant” machine, but if you want a good coffee you can order one from the barista...

Very cool hotel! Excellent rooms, great breakfasts and of course a stunning view

Mistral Bay Hotel

Agios Nikolaos, Marathonos 10, 72100 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (in the centre) 🧭

We rested at the hotel in early October 2025. First of all, I want to note the professionalism of the manager Tanzel - he will always tell you about the shops nearby, about the order in the hotel, etc. Regarding the hotel - Mistral bay has a great location - 1 coastline of the sea and near the town center - very convenient! The rooms after renovation - we really liked ours (especially the direct view...

We stayed at the Mistral Bay Hotel and were very happy. The hotel is modern and the Premier Sea View room had the most amazing view. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom modern with a powerful shower. There was a fridge, two mugs and a kettle.We had half board and the food was very good. I am vegetarian and was never stuck for choice. Lovely Greek salads and desserts. The hotel is very clean and...

The Hotel is in a brilliant position, close to the sea and a short walk to all the bars and restaurants and the lake. Also about a 20 min from a really lovely little beach. It was clean and comfortable but the service was atrocious. We kept being told it was a 4 star hotel but I would say it was 3 at best!! The problems started on arrival at 2.30am when a very unfriendly/unwelcoming receptionist tried...

Have a rest with the sister in this hotel everything very liked, a great hotel, delicious and varied food, very close to the sea, good location. We were very pleased. Administrator Tanzil is just wonderful, as we Ukrainians tried to speak Ukrainian with us and it is very pleasant to us. Therefore, we very advise this hotel and we will definitely come back here again.

Overall the hotel was as expected because we did alot of research before booking. We arrived late in the evening and booked into our side sea view room. The room itself was neat, clean and cozy as expected. However, we had a concrete wall with peeling paint to greet us before noticing the side sea view from the " balcony". After a lovely shower, the bathroom nearly flooded due to a leaking shower...

Very nice hotel!!!!! Very clean room with amazing sea view, the is delicious and variety of foods to select, Mr TANZEEL is very friendly and polite and always ready to help. We had a great time in this hotel. Many beaches around at walking distance. There is roof garden bar with amazing sea view, every Wednesday there is live dj party!!!!! The city is very beautiful with very clean sea water which...

Candia Park Village

Agios Nikolaos, Havania, 72100 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (45 min from centre) 🧭

Picnic, Table tennis, Pool, Beach, Tennis court

The location and the hotel setting is gorgeous. Loved it! We were with our child and my in-laws. Everyone was impressed. We also could swim every day in the sea in the end of October - beginning November. I also want specifically to mention and thank the personnel. Despite we were in the end of the season, they were still so enthusiastic, so helpful, so polite and so simply nice after all these months...

We just spent our autumn holiday at Candia Park Village and can absolutely recommend it. Unfortunately, I had a medical emergency on the very first day, and all the staff were incredibly helpful and behaved in an exemplary manner. The hotel manager arrived quickly, introduced himself personally, called a doctor and then consulted with the doctor to determine where I could receive the best medical care...

There is so much Candia park gets right and we thought it was very good value for money. The reception staff are so welcoming, the rooms are great, simple, airy and light, very clean, thoughtful details like the outdoor folding down clothes airer, bowl of fruit and wine in the fridge, lots of hooks for drying things. The bathroom was exceptional. Beds and pillows a little hard for us and one of the...

We have just returned from our second stay at Candia Park Village, and once again it exceeded every expectation. This place is pure paradise and has become one of our absolute favorite destinations in Greece. What makes Candia Park so uniquely special is the direct entrance to the sea. The little cove feels like a private hideaway, sheltered and peaceful, with crystal-clear water. Every morning we...

I’m currently staying at Candia Park Village – Agios Nikolaos for the second year in a row (October 12–19, 2025), after a wonderful stay during the same week last year. Everything is perfect again — spotless rooms, great service, and warm hospitality. Special thanks to Vicky at the pool bar for her exceptional service, professionalism, and constant smile. A truly fantastic holiday in a beautiful place...

Thanks Kyriakos for the massage in the spa of candia park resort. It was really great and i feel very relaxed . Candia park resort is a great place to be. Very enjoable as a family with all the activities.

The Island Concept Luxury Boutique Hotel Heated Pool

Agios Nikolaos, Periohi Almyros, Akrotiri, Ag. Nikolaos, 72100 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (2 km from centre) 🧭

Absolutely beautiful. We made this our last stop after a month in Europe, skipping between UK, Ireland and Spain. We deliberately asked our travel agent for somewhere blissful to chill/eat/cocktail/swim/repeat after a busy 4 weeks. This was perfect. The staff were warm and helpful. The resort was small so not too busy, poolside drinks were great, as was the included breakfast. Lovely town for shopping...

The Island Concept is one of the most beautiful boutique resorts I’ve ever visited. The views are absolutely phenomenal, and enjoying breakfast while overlooking the scenery was a highlight of our stay. The nearby city is charming and just a short taxi ride away. We truly wished we could have stayed longer. A few suggestions for improvement: some light background music around the pool and restaurant...

Luxury from start to finish. A late arrival and we were welcomed as long lost friends. Breakfast is a treat, a la carte with many inclusive choices. Nothing is too much trouble for the super staff. Mariana has a smile for every situation and Fortini especially served us with knowledge of wines and helped whenever we needed assistance. The pool and private beach are both special. Private and quiet...

First class boutique hotel, with excellent staff. The hotel is quiet, with a wonderful small private beach. The rooms are well equipped with modern touches that enhance your stay. Built in speakers to connect to and a very easy to use Room Service/Pool Service App. I would definitely recommend this hotel

Absolutely amazing hotel and staff - very calm and quiet atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble for them. The only one tiny annoyance was there were often kids running around and jumping in the pool making noise etc. - we believe this used to be adults only as we’re sure it was when we booked? - it’s a shame as somewhere so small and with such aspirations of honeymoon destination really should...

absolutely recommended!!! the whole experience was absolutely amazing. the hotel is beautiful, the staff is so nice, the hotel itself so clean and maintenanced. will comeback for a second time for sure.

Cretan Village Hotel

Agios Nikolaos, Main Street, Amoudara, 72100 Ammoudara, Gretsiya (45 min from centre) 🧭

Fishing, Pool, Beach

It was my first time visiting Greece and I was definitely not disappointed. The hotel really deserves 4*. The environment is large and maintained. The food did not disappoint either. There are several pools, not one or two bars. We liked the bar the most, Nagy and Popi, the bartenders working by the pool just down from the reception. Special thanks to them. Very kind and attentive to everyone. Best...

Lovely place, lovely people. Not their fault it was raining. There is no indoor pool at Cretan village, surprising as it is so large. Nowhere for people to go when the sun is not shining. Covered bar next to reception not open through the day, bit of a con having only the pool bars open when the weather is bad, Only one bus a day to Heraklion 9.15am back at 13.30pm. when you get to town, go upstairs...

Perfect place! Adorable design, amazing view, tasty food, nice location! Everything was comfortable, apartments were clean, the personal was very nice and friendly! We will come back for sure! 💛

Really nice place. Too many cars, too close to the road and lack of heavy investments in comfortable mattresses though.

Cozy hotel with nice historical styled rooms. Highly recommended in case you not expecting superior food or services. Suitable for quet vocation

Lazar Lux Suites - Hotel

Agios Nikolaos, Ethniki Odos Agiou Nikolaou Sitias (45 min from centre) 🧭

Fabulous place to stay! Apartments were spacious, spotless and well equipped. Staff were very helpful. Pool was beautiful but needed access to drinks and snacks. The sunbeds were mainly in the shade which is lovely, but would benefit from some sunny areas. Located with easy reach to a small but beautiful beach with tavernas, bar and small shop. Not far from Eloundas, Agios Nikolas and other . Would...

We spent two weeks in this paradise on earth. Our room and the huge terrace provided real luxury comfort. The staff (Liana and Manos) are very kind and professional, any request we made was fulfilled immediately. The rooms are sparkling clean, thanks to the lovely cleaning ladies who worked hard every day even in the hottest weather. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants a carefree...

New property and very spacious . Excellent bed. Close to Beach and lovely pool area. Lovely to be in a new apartment compacted to many older ones

Very nice complex with a large pool and loungers. The equally beautiful beach is a 5-minute walk away. Parking is available directly at the house. The apartment is modernly furnished and very nice, although the space is a bit limited in the bedrooms and on the terrace. The kitchenette is large, although the kitchen utensils could have been more comprehensive to allow for proper cooking.

Very close to beach. Nice pool and apartment. Friendly staff.

Location is fantastic, close to the beach & a choice lovely restaurants on the beach front.
