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.. In overal I had these observations as a first impression of the hotel: - The rooms are renovated but some parts have an awefull finish.. especially the toilets and showers. But overal it's clean. - The showergels...

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

The Sand Suites - Adults Only

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

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! Dimitris the manager couldn’t do enough for us and made our stay super special...

St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas

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

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay at the St Nicolas Bay Resort hotel. We were in sea view room 524 and it was perfect. The hotel has so many excellent reviews and photographs, so this short review does not do justice to this amazing hotel; the location, service/food in restaurants to the friendly hardworking staff were all outstanding. The hotel was closing for the season but standards did not...

This hotel has a beautiful setting, on the stunning Mirabello Bay. The grounds are well laid out and maintained, with plenty of places to sit and relax, and easy access to the pools and the small private beach. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The food was of a very good standard. In addition to the main buffet restaurant, we also ate at the 2 a la carte restaurants. The Greek entertainment...

From the moment we arrived, late & tired, we were treated wonderfully by the staff. They provided a welcome drink, late dinner & showed us our room. We had a sea view suite, with two balconies, one covered & one uncovered. The room was large with so many places to sit! I found the bureau area great for hair & make up as it had a large lit up mirror. Lots of storage & a large bed made for a comfortable...

My wife and I returned to St. Nicolas Bay Resort this August for the second consecutive year, which is unusual for us but says it all. The resort is beautiful and the seafront location is exactly what we were looking for. After also staying in the very nice Club Open Plan Mezzanine Suite for 5 nights in August 2024, this time we stayed in the Artemis Thalassa Suite, which was spectacular. The private...

A fantastic week in this first class hotel. The staff were all so friendly and helpful it made for a great holiday. The food was very good and we used the main restaurant all week. It was a nice easy walk to the town with plenty of bars and tavernas for lunch. We will be back.

Fishing, Table tennis, Pool, Beach, Tennis court

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!

If you want a holiday that is completely relaxing then this is the spot for you. This all inclusive adult only resort has an amazing team who work tirelessly to make sure your stay is amazing.

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! My husband and I went to Elounda on the third leg of our island hopping honeymoon and we most definitely saved the best for last! We were warmly greeted with drinks and snacks upon arrival as well as a bottle of champagne in our room (as well as the traditional honey and nuts...

A Truly Amazing Stay – Like Paradise! We’ve just returned from an incredible stay at this hotel as a family of four from Scotland, and we’re already missing it! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles from the staff, who couldn’t have been more helpful or welcoming. Their kindness made a wonderful first impression and set the tone for the rest of our stay. The hotel...

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. Working in the catering industry myself, I had high expectations, but what we received here was truly...

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. The breakfast could have been...

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.

Elounda Breeze Resort

Elounda, Main Street, Elounda, 72053 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (45 min from centre) 🧭

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). Accommodation: The views in the hotel are breathtaking, it’s truly beautiful. We opted for a one bed family room which was massive, beds are comfortable and bathroom is adequate. One issue was a lack of storage; as a family...

This is a lovely hotel in a peaceful location, our room was perfect, overlooking pool and sea view. Spacious room with comfortable beds. We went at the start of the season and it was peaceful, the entertainment was outstanding for the kids and our little one loved it. The food was great, the drinks and staff were wonderful. A couple of k’s walk down to the village but you could always grab a taxi...

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. I have allergies and am always nervous trusting others to cater for me particularly with cross contamination. I was very worried about having a buffet style restaurant. When I arrived I was told to introduce...

We were a group of 8 and we were all very impressed with this hotel. Absolutely stunning views from our room and the main pool area and restaurant. The best views we have had from a hotel by far. The food was really good. Good choice everyday. Asian night was a highlight. The 2 a la carte restaurants for us were very impressive. Kids club was a big hit with our 5 and 8 year old. They always came...

Nice hotel , situated around 1 hours drive from the airport by private transfer , The room was clean and big enough for a family of 4, we had a issue with ants which was resolved when we reported it a second time , the food was ok typical European-all inclusive ,the drinks were poor but that didn’t matter to us , the pools were good and we spent most days at the activity one as it was better suited...

We have not long returned home from our 2 week stay at Elounda Breeze which was also our honey moon. I must say we do miss it so much already.

She accommodated any requests with a genuine caring attitude. Hotel has several restaurant options if you don’t want...

This is one of the very first 5-star hotels built in the area, and the clear foresight of its creator must be acknowledged. It is beautifully blended into nature, and its buildings are spread over a huge surface in such a way that – unlike other facilities – they are by no means disturbing. The location, while not offering the very best view of Mirabello Bay and Spinalonga Island – which lies further...

Absolutely beautiful, stunning views of the bay, amazing facilities, and so many great dining options here and at the sister resorts nearby. Quick buggy ride or boat between them.

The jet skis and paddle boarding was loads of fun, and...

Elounda, Lassithi, Elounda, 72053 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (2 km from centre) 🧭

We stayed a week at this really nice hotel area. It is a really big area but everything is nicely connected. Four good restaurant to choose from and a very good breakfast area. One thing we really liked was that you keep your beach beds the whole week and don't have to chase a spot every day. The staff in general was very nice and helpful. A calm play to just enjoy.

We enjoyed a perfect holiday at Elounda Beach Hotel. You can completely relax here in the beautiful surroundings and experiences excellent food in the restaurants. Elounda, Agios Nikolaos and Spinalonga island are all easily visited if you can pull yourself away from the lovely beach and clear water. This is a special place

We stayed at this resort for 10 nights in mid September and thoroughly enjoyed it - the setting is glorious , the staff are all fantastic and helpful. The slow pace did take some getting used to - until you realise that you you are, in fact totally and utterly relaxed and the resort has embraced you. If you can afford it , upgrade , but the lower tariff apartments we stayed in were still pretty nice...

We were upgraded to Elounda Beach from Elounda Palace as we were told that the Palace was closing on 23 October & our stay was until 26 October.

The food in the restaurants was also excellent. Only downside- bad...

Unbelievablly friendly staff who looked after us so well. We were upgraded to a far superior bungalow and all that went with it at no extra cost. The only let down was an unfriendly and unhelpful security guard , who wouldnt let me back into the hotel one afternoon. I had to wait 45 minutes before reception finally rescued me. Perhaps he was confusing my 8 bottles of water with contraband Vodka for...

There’s golf buggies that can be summoned via the phone to pick you up and take you to other areas. The staff are all super friendly, and do all they can to make your stay memorable. We stayed half board in a room with a private pool and terrace. I loved the interaction with staff...

I had to write a review for this amazing hotel! I had 5 days here with my grown up daughter. Everything was amazing! If you can, book the pool rooms…what a treat! The gym was well kitted out and not too busy. Breakfast was what you’d expect in an amazing hotel. The staff were all very attentive and looked after our every need and more. We loved walking to plaka and elounda. There are some amazing...

We recently stayed at this hotel as part of a family holiday, in which we shared many of the same observations as others, but our main call out is that our overall impression was hindered, and this very much came down to the moment we checked out. Positives: The views are truly exceptional — among the best we’ve experienced anywhere. Every angle offers a photo-worthy moment, and the hotel’s design...

As soon as we stepped into the hotel, we were swept away by its sophisticated charm. The place feels like a perfect blend of classic luxury and personal touches that make you feel instantly at home. The Versace-inspired interiors are jaw-dropping—every corner is a work of art, from the intricate details to the elegant finishes. And the location? Absolutely unreal. It’s right on Mirabello Bay, first...

Spent a lovely week at the hotel for my birthday. We had a great room with a private pool which was wonderful - the only downside was it was just above the main hotel restaurant which meant there was often cooking smells wafting sound when you were in the pool (mornings). Room was super clean. The staff we so helpful nothing was too much trouble, pretty much every answer started with yes, of course...

Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection

Elounda, Tsifliki, Schisma Elountas, 72053 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (45 min from centre) 🧭

This was my first solo holiday since losing my spouse recently. It was a big undertaking, however, I felt very safe at the resort even at night walking back to my suite. The resort has thought to everything, Food and Drink The were choices of different places to eat if you are full board, the portions at lunch are very generous. The buffet breakfast and evening meal covered every possible food choice...

Staff are more than Friendly! We came for our 1st vacation in family with our 7 months old son and it could not be better. A special thank you and thought to Eleni and her AMAZING team from the Kids club that took care of our baby. You are a true value of the property.

We had such a wonderful stay at Domes of elounda. We truly loved the staff, the service, and the food. Makris and Antoinos restaurants were exceptional. We only wished the weather had been better, as the pools were quite cold and we couldn’t really swim Special thanks to Sergio from Concierge for making us feel welcomed and valued!!! We will definitely come back.

We are here currently. Celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. The staff go over and above, always polite and happy. The welcome gift was a pleasant touch and the anniversary cake a nice surprise. We were upgraded on arrival to a sea view room with jacuzzi. Thank you so much. The food is amazing. Can’t wait to try Makris tonight. Perfect in every way!

Superb stay , the staff are hard working and nothing is too much trouble , always pleasant and have time to speak . Rooms are immaculate, well designed and equipped.

This is an amazing hotel with superb staff, food, location and very comfy rooms. Butterfly was our host cleaner. When we arrived late she arranged two swans on the bed made from towels with flower petals across the bed.

Phāea Blue - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Elounda, Plaka, 72053 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (60 min from centre) 🧭

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...

Cayo Exclusive Resort & Spa

Elounda, Plaka, Schisma Elountas, 72053 Ayos-Nikolaos, Gretsiya (60 min from centre) 🧭

This is a beautiful resort run by a fanatic, friendly team of people. It really is stunning. The locations also brilliant. A gentle 5 minute walk down the hill to Plaka Beach. Full of lovely little places to eat and drink. Would really love to return but there were a couple of things that put us off, and I don’t think there’s much that can be done to resolve sadly. Firstly it is very windy on this...

Location in is amazing set in the hills so the views are incredible, we booked a room with pool, but point to note £60euros per day to heat it, which was a bit disappointing, however the room was large and very comfortable, the bedroom is separated by a partition so there is a lot of lights at night from security lights. The staff are wonderful nothing to much trouble, we stayed half board this...

Cayo was just perfect. The staff so friendly and welcoming and not intrusive. Our room was amazing and watching sunrise was incredible. I had the BEST head, neck, shoulder and back massage with Eleni, she has magical fingers!!! Thank you ☺️

Well, what can I say about this beautiful hotel. It's my 2nd time to visit this year, first time with my husband and kids and second time with my mum and we were welcomed back like family. The views from this beautiful hotel are only matched by the warmth of the staff. Don't be fooled by the calm, laid-back atmosphere. This hotel runs like clockwork. Breakfast is a highlight with beautiful food and...

This is a stunning destination with incredible views. The overall design of the hotel is beautifully done – classy, modern furnishings and attention to detail throughout, from bedrooms to poolside bars, restaurants, gym and yoga suite. The yoga studio’s outdoor deck is especially impressive. Staff & Service The staff were superb – genuinely warm, friendly and helpful almost without exception. Special...

This was our second visit and we were glad we made the decision to return. We stayed in an executive room which was spotlessly clean. The room was very comfortable, with plenty of space. Apart from sleeping, we spent most of the time outside on our balcony/patio area and making use of the brilliant infinity pool. The views from the rooms and from the hotel in general are incredible, and if you are...

Ierapetra, Lasithi, Greece (45 min from centre) 🧭

It's cool despite the strange entries on the internet

Very good place. Barman George is the best!!!

Wonderful hotel! Incredible view!

Great hotel. Lovely pool with a sea view. Food is great and the staff are very nice. 10 mins walk to the beach. The water is beautiful and clear. Go for it

Great loction well away from busy areas. Its quiet a drive from the airport so if travelling outside a package holiday check taxi fares. Beautiful views and you can hire cars really cheaply to explore other parts of the island of Crete.

The rooms are good, with nice airconditioning, a nice view and a spacious bathroom. The staff is very helpfull, exept the restaurant personnel. The food is mediocre at best. Quite far from the beach.

This was our second visit to Angela Suites Boutique Hotel and it definitely didn’t disappoint. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Hotel is kept spotlessly clean by the hard working, happy smiley staff. A great holiday and can’t wait to visit again. Love from the four oldies. X

We have been returning to this hotel for the past seven years, and it has truly become our home away from home. The staff are simply wonderful and personable, treating us more like old friends than guests. Their generosity and genuine warmth are the main reasons we keep coming back year after year. The hotel is always spotlessly clean, and the whole team go out of their way to be helpful and attentive...

We have stayed many times and there’s always a cheery welcome and helpful attitude. Lovely staff always happy to help you.

2nd time in Sisi and this hotel was a great choice from moment we arrived staff were great ! Room was on top floor with comfy bed and very quiet only issue we had during the week was at times there was a strong smell of drains . Our stay was on a half board basis which was for ease and both the choices at breakfast and evening meals were excellent with plenty of choice for both. Staff also were lovely...

Yet another perfect holiday at Angela Suites. The reason we come back year on year is because the people have become friends, they go above and beyond to make our holiday special. From arranging my beautiful birthday flowers (thanks Konstantino!), my card (thanks Katerina), the wonderful mocktails and cocktails made by Lefteris, the free Greek lessons from George and Katerina and the spotless room...

Ostria Resort & Spa

Ierapetra, Katharades, 72200 Ierapetra, Gretsiya (6 km from centre) 🧭

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...

Vasia Resort & Spa

Sissi, Sissi Lassithiou (in the centre) 🧭

Nice hotel, but not five stars! The buffet was large and plentiful, but too much "english" food and not enough Greek food. Kids entertainment was a little shabby. Danny the main entertainer was great, but kids facilities were old and tired. Evening entertainment was poor. Snack bar was poor. Bedrooms were good.

We had a fantastic time staying at the resort. It had all we needed for a great holiday. The suite we stayed in was very spacious with a private rooftop terrace, the room was cleaned daily and stocked with bottled water every day. The restaurant was excellent, there was always something nice to eat with a vast selection at every mealtime and the Italian restaurant is a must. The staff were very friendly...

I've only been here a night and part of the morning, but I could have hugged the kind reception staff member who gave my daughter and I such a warm welcome, plus sandwiches, at 1am. Yes, the rooms show slight signs of wear but our room is spacious and immaculately clean and with service like that, I don't mind at all. I'm only here to have a bit of fun for a short amount of time but there seems plenty...

Went to this resort previous to covid with my other half and loved it, so we thought we would return with our baby. Staff are excellent and friendly. Family rooms are spacious and get cleaned every day. Good variety of pools, however unfortunately they were extremely extremely cold which was a shame. Lots of food for all inclusive! The snack bars by the pool were great! Massively lacking kids entertainment...

Had a really good time and the hotel was really good. Rooms were clean. Shower needed new sealant. Service was pretty good, and ate my own body weight in food which is a good guage of its quality. Just missing the finer points to be a 5 star. More like 3.5 to 4 star, definitely not 5 star. Would recommend it though for those wanting a quiet resort.

Excellent hotel for relaxing holidays. The "executive suites" with private pool are wonderful. Really nice service.

Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort Crete Curio Collection by Hilton

The highlights of our stay really were Tina's yoga lessons and Petros' fitness courses. We also enjoyed a high quality massage. Surprisingly good for swimming and snorkeling was the private beach of the hotel. Due to the rocks (under water), plenty of fish can be seen. (But you should know where the underwater rocks are in case you are swimming in a rough sea.) Staff was friendly and forthcoming...

We went for a quiet holiday, choosing this adults only hotel as it was situated by the beach on what seemed (and was) a quiet spot on this south coast of Crete. It had two nice swimming pools and plenty of loungers around the pools and on the beach. It was booked as a British Airways package holiday, and notably came with a discount but also during this end of season period complimentary half board...

The pool and beach areas were fantastic – clean, comfortable, never...

We thought that from every perspective, this hotel provided an excellent service, in a quite remote location, and that the staff team made every effort, all of the time, for our comfort. The food was excellent, the facilities in the spa and gym were first rate (Petros was very helpful and supportive, and the masseuse was top class) and the bar staff looked after you at the pool side in a every way...

Stunning hotel! Beautiful views and great service. The best pool area we have ever had. Good variety of food. Some live music in the evenings would be a nice touch. A very relaxing week in a secluded spot…it’s at least one and a half hours from the airport.

We had a very lovely experience in the High Beach Spa! Pavlos and Maria made our Massages very well and we are very pleased and relaxed! Thank you so much ☺️

The High Beach Resort is a very well-maintained and visually appealing hotel complex. We arrived on April 2nd, 2026, the official start of the season. According to locals, the day before the hotel opened, Crete experienced an unprecedented weather phenomenon – a Saharan sandstorm that left unmistakable traces and completely undid the extensive cleaning work carried out beforehand at the hotel complex...

Staff were amazing. Everyone working there has been so kind and warm. Special shout out to Giorgio and Vasillios (forgive me if they’re not spelled right) for being the best bartenders and making my stay so much fun!

Very very nice Personal. They are all very friendly and helpfull. The location and area is very nice and we have absoluter nothing to complain about. Also the food and Variation is of a high Standard and quality

Breakfast was decent, while dinner offered a wider selection and was quite tasty. The beach itself was not very convenient,there were many corals, which made entering the water uncomfortable.

Our experience was not 5*, we had to ask to move rooms as the first one was over the kitchen and was so noisy, the second was lovely and quiet but no fan working in the bathroom.

Inclusive resort with many activities to keep you busy. Stunning views in the honeymoon suite. Staff service was impeccable and even offered deluxe suite after checkout as flight departure was extremely late. Staff offered another room for convenience instead of kicking us out.

Everything was exceptional! Location, staff, spa, room, dining! One of our best experiences. Better than four seasons!

A very smart hotel with excellent sea views and a lovely main swimming pool. You can have room with its own jacuzzi and garden, or one with a plunge pool or a share infinity pool.

The worst part is how the shower and sink and toilet are played out. Insanity. We wouldn...

Esperides Resort Crete, the Authentic Experience

Hersonissos, Costa Varnali street, Koutouloufari, 70014 Hersonissos, Gretsiya (in the centre) 🧭

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!

Vasia Boulevard Hotel

Hersonissos, Minoos 17, 70014 Limenas Chersonisou, Gretsiya (in the centre) 🧭

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.
