Aloe Boutique Hotel & Suites - Adults Only in Almirida

It’s a very quiet and peaceful hotel but I found the pool area too small and the location was too far away I would recommend staying nearer Chania but for people looking to just stay in a quiet hotel, this is the one!

This was one of many hotels we looked at but after so many positive reviews about the hotel and the staff it was a no brainer to book and we weren’t disappointed. The staff go out of their way to help you always with a friendly smile. The hotel is clean and adults only makes it a bonus. It’s a 10 second walk from the beach front. The beach is a cove never over crowded and the water is crystal clear and shallow for a long way. Plenty of little shops and places to eat out in this little village. Breakfast in the hotel was good, tasty. Not spoilt for choice but plenty for whatever your tastes. Pool area is great always get a bed. But we mostly went to the beach. There’s a car hire place nearby and a trip to Chania Old Town is an absolute must do. Would come back here again for sure and to this lovely hotel. Highly recommend it.

From the moment my son and I were collected from the coach drop off point in the village in the very early hours I knew we were going to be in for an amazing holiday. Welcomed with a refreshing drink while we checked in our luggage was taken to our room where a much needed cold meat, fruit & cheese platter was waiting for us (at our request). Our room was spotlessly clean, extremely comfy beds & pillows and as we were in an end room (316) we had the most fabulous view of the mountains, pool and sea! Fresh bottled water daily as well which was a bonus! I will say that the shower was wonderful, the only little niggle being I couldn’t reach the high bathroom window to open it to let the steam out. Breakfast was more than we expected. A selection of cooked items and made to order eggs, an array of fruit, deli meats & cheeses, breads, pastries, sweet treats, Greek yogurt, honey & nuts and plenty of tea, coffee and fruit juices which we enjoyed around the pool. We didn’t eat at lunch as we were full from breakfast so can’t comment on the lunch menu. The evening menu wasn’t really to our taste as we don’t eat fish or a lot of red meat, however the evenings we did eat we enjoyed what we had. The portions are enormous though and we could have shared starters and desserts. There are plentiful tavernas to eat at in the village should you fancy a change from the hotel menu. The pool area was lovely, quiet and relaxing and we didn’t have any trouble securing sunbeds. Loved being able to order drinks straight to our sun loungers barely lifting a finger. The pool is fantastic, one of the best, quite deep, I couldn’t touch the bottom at 5ft 3 but it’s perfect for swimming, very refreshing. The hotel had a very wide age range of guests and although I was visiting with my son we didn’t feel out of place amongst the couples, young and older and a few pairs of friends. The friendly village itself is very small, a 5-10 minute walk from one end to the other with lots of small shops, cafe’s & restaurants and the small but beautifully sandy beach is literally 30 seconds walk from the hotel. All in all we had an amazing holiday. Every single one of the staff that works there is cheerful, friendly and hardworking, striving to make your holiday perfect. They are all a credit to the hotel and both my son and I will not hesitate to recommend this hotel to friends and hopefully will return. We were definitely both sad to leave this little piece of Cretan paradise.

Such a beautiful clean and welcoming hotel set in the ideal location a few feet from a sandy beach. The water is so calm you can walk out such a long way and the selection of bars and restaurants are all amazing. The cleanliness and friendliness of this small boutique hotel is what makes your stay so enjoyable. The call button around the pool is a big luxury especially while reading a good book. 10/10 would definitely return thank you xxx

We stayed at this beautiful hotel for one week and cannot recommend it enough. The service is exceptional and the hotel itself is very clean and well designed with everything you need. The location is ideal for a quiet relaxing holiday by the beach, but easy enough if you wish to travel into Chania centre. We were privileged to meet such wonderful staff at this hotel, especially Amelia on reception and our cleaning lady Amrita, all were amazing, but these lovely ladies made our stay extra special for us.

Recently returned from aloe boutique. Lovely small hotel for adults only. Spotlessly clean, all the staff seem to work really hard. Even saw them change the covers on the cabana sun beds round the pool. We were there on a bed and breakfast basis but we had a couple of lunchtime meals and one evening meal. All the food was lovely. Our bedroom was great, beds really comfortable and the showers were nice and hot with good water pressure. I’ve never stayed where a bathroom has so many hooks for towels and wash bags. Was fab. Even a magnifying mirror! If I had only one suggestion for improvement, it would be a full length mirror in the bedroom. Us ladies like to check the whole outfit! Fortunately for us personally, wasn’t too much of a problem as the lift was near our bedroom so we checked ourselves in the mirrored lift doors! The beach and restaurants are a stones throw way and if you want to visit Chania, it’s an easy 35 minute drive away. Would I return? No, BUT only because the world is a big place with so much to see. Would I recommend Aloe Boutique? Absolutely 100%

Fabulous hotel. We were very well looked after from start to finish. Everything positive that I'd read in previous reviews was accurate. The team were amazing, friendly and very helpful. Quality of food was great too. Our room had everything we needed and all the onsite facilities such as the pool, loungers, gym and spa were spot on. No complaints whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you're looking for a relaxing break without kids.

We stayed at the hotel for 12 nights and really liked our room. The view was also nice. The hotel is quiet and peaceful. Breakfasts were very good, with a wide variety of options. Unlike some other hotels, there weren’t meaningless items added just for the sake of variety. All the staff were very attentive — from the receptionists to the breakfast team, housekeeping, and those working around the pool and bar. We hope to come back again.

Im not sure there are the right words to describe, how incredible and amazing this hotel is. From minute one it felt comfortable and relaxing, and we were looked after by the amazing staff. The design of the hotel is excellent, it is not too large, and set our perfectly around the pool, which was beautiful to swim or relax in, in its warm but cooling waters. Our room was well laid out, with an extremely comfortable bed, a very welcome pillow menu, and a large and spacuious ensuite. We were provided with free bottles of water daily, and the room was cleaned every day by the room attendant and was spotless. The whole hotel is immaculate. The hotel provided large towels for guests, which could be changed whenever requested and had a nice library and a lovely gym for guests. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful, with lots of options including some of the freshest and tastiest melon I have ever eaten, and omelettes cooked to order. The food on offer was excellent. We ate lunch at the restaurant every day, it had an good lunch menu, and every meal was fresh, tasty and excellent. I would definitely recommend it if you don’t want to walk into the village. There is also an option to eat poolside. The drinks we had were all tasty, and ice was always provided with water. A lovely touch was small taster cocktails being handed around each day to guests. The village is nice and has lots of places to eat and a good beach, and the Aloe is in a great position to walk into the village, and has excellent views of the sea from its restaurant and the pool. I couldn’t finish without talking about the exceptional staff the hotel have, and I truly mean exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble, and we were looked after perfectly. The staff were thoughtful, kind, attentive, funny and engaging and have made us long to return. I wont name them all as they were all fantastic but a special mention to Fabian, Christina, Anastasia, Kleo, Fillip, Anelia on the Front Desk, and Kostas the manager who I had the pleasure of chatting to. All in all an exceptional hotel, and we will definitely return.

This hotel offers a laidback luxury that gets you relaxed immediately on arrival. Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are exceptional, food and drinks delicious and our superior room was poolside, large and had a spacious, well stocked ensuite. Free bottles of daily water, large towels for beach and pool and a well equipped air conditioned gym added to our enjoyment. The little village is full of glorious beachfront restaurants and the prices were very reasonable...dinner for 2 with 1/2litre of house rose, plus a free desert and raki was 40euros and cretian hospitality is on another level. The hotel breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Special mention to all of the staff, for making our holiday a well earned rest. We wouldn't normally wish to return but Aloe has stolen our hearts and we would return
