Best Hotels in Crete

The location of the hotel is ideal. It is near all the local amenities. There is a supermarket around the corner which I believe is open until late. We found a little farmers market where we bought gifts

There is a lot do there on and off site. The atmosphere is very peaceful the white sofas in reception give that calming effect. with orange juice and are checked in very quickly

I forgot the lady's name but you checked us and you were lovely. We came off a late flight and we offered food which was very thoughtful. However a tour of the hotel would have been ideal at this point

Really beautiful hotel. Good food. Great location. The rooms opened to the private pool area are really great. Staff are very nice. Really quit and calm.

Fantastic Holiday from start to finish the most amazing experience, service beyond expectation. Breakfast was varied and very nice every day. Dinners were also especially nice

As we often returned late from going out. good selection but often repetitive. We are carribean and we found the food to be rather bland but we were respectful of the culture and ate what was provided

Adonis and his friend are the best barmans in Greece, YAMAS!

This is a very nice hotel, the staff is great, the room is clean, the food is good. The only thing is the bed which is not a good experience

Large room with private Pool situated in a quiet area of the hotel. The slides are great fun for kids. Staff do their best to help you

I would say that is 3 star hotel. however, everything is quite good and clean, the food is quite delicious too.

In need of some tarting up but coming straight out of a covid travel ban you have to appreciate these islands have been struggling so it will take them a while to fund it

I recommend visiting, and if you can, book a private pool, we love it AND there's an ocean view!

Service was excellent and special mention to Kostas at La Strada and the drinks waitress (sorry I didn't get your name) at The Steak Restaurant

There was a lovely water channel outside our room and a water station nearby which was useful. The toiletries were very nice and we also had a free mini bar. The hotel is very clean and the grounds well maintained

Food was excellent and the a la carte restaurants were the best ones we've ever experienced in any all-inclusive hotels we've stayed in

The indoor pool was very cold and you had to wear shoes and dry yourself between being in the pool and going to the steam room etc. as well as having a shower in between also. It was very strict and not relaxed

The food was a very high quality and the cakes etc beautifully presented. The staff in the restaurant were very pleasant. There was a Dr there 6 days a week. We were less impressed with the Spa

We went with TUI and there was no welcome meeting. We spoke to some German representatives who were not that helpful or pleasant

Best buffet in the world!!! Truly we couldn’t stop eating haha . Our room was very nice. Lovely pools . Really kids and family friendly. The water park is amazing also for adults

I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable stay in Crete. This review highlights the hotel’s luxury, location, and excellent service, appealing to travelers seeking a high-end experience

Then, behind the screen, it turns out that this particular villa is located right next to the shared outdoor air conditioning unit and the cable car service center! It's good that they noticed the noise right away and immediately requested a replacement, but apparently all the villas were occupied beforehand, along with full booking and so on

It's good that they were smart enough to demand the room they booked. Hurray, they gave it to you, but an hour and a half had already passed, and naturally, dinner was missed

Good afternoon, I'd like to share my impressions from the very beginning! So, here it is: arrival at a wonderful hotel, praised by 1,000 reviews

My stay at The Royal Senses Hotel in Crete was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home

My stay at the hotel 06-11 October was perfect. The workers of the hotel were hospitable and pleasant. Rooms are always tidy and good equipped. I had nice view on the street and the beach

The staff were lovely and hard working, the hotel was very clean and smelt really nice. The location is perfect, you are a 2 minute walk to the nearest beach and there are lots of bars/restaurants and shops nearby

The food was varied and you can order food/drinks straight to your sun lounger when chilling by the pool, there were always sun loungers available too. The hotel had a lovely vibe and it wasn't too noisy

So generous with free wine tasting, cocktail and cooking class experience, very close to the beach and restaurants and surrounding villages - plenty to do ! The staff were accommodating and willing to please answering any questions or requests

Perfect location! Close lots of local tavernas and bars, car rentals and excursions… My holiday couldn’t be better! Thanks to Albatros! Also highly recommend to visit spa. Was there twice for sauna and massage

A friendly resort that felt like coming home. I loved the blend of classical and modern with traditional Greek influences and food, a unique combination which makes it a place you want to come back to again

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

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

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

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

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The staff have been extremely accommodating and so kind. The food and drinks are fabulous. The rooms and decoration is so aesthetic and clean

Entertainment has been so fun and inclusive of guests. Getting everyone up on their feet dancing. The location is beautiful not far from the beach at all

What can I say about this place Staff excellent Service excellent Food excellent Cleanliness excellent But the hills are a killer not the hotels fault Would I go back yes if it was on lower ground or I was younger

This is a lovely hotel but I wouldn't class it as a 4 star hotel. It is in a beautiful location, stunning views and a quaint little beach in a bay with lots of water activities

We had an amazing holiday in September at this hotel and would highly recommend it for families looking to relax and create unforgettable memories. The hotel itself is lovely and very clean

The views around the hotel are beautiful, and there’s a stunning beach nearby that made our days even more special

The food and drinks were varied and catered to all tastes, so there was always something enjoyable for everyone

The staff at the hotel are fabulous, friendly and happy to help. The outside area is small but well kept and lovely to sit around. There's a bus to and from Heraklion. The entertainment was fun and different each night

Food was excellent, great facilities, beach was nice, entertainment was good. Good value for the money.

The food in the main room is excellent and with a wide selection, the chef is always there with a big smile

They accommodated my request to have my room and my friend’s room together. Over all hospital and 5star experience was with Madam Tonia, restaurant manager. Thanks for making my birthday memorable

We arrived at the hotel and immediately they upgraded our room to a room with a private pool (very nice, but unfortunately not usable). Everything was perfect and appreciated

Very nice place for families and very nice staff. Walters at the resturant very kind. The cook was very nice also. Great menu and dishes.

On the other hand, in the two restaurants, unfortunately, the food is not made on site, Just heats it up and serves it

The hotel is in a very scenic location, within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The number 21 bus calls directly at the hotel to take you to Chania. The service is regular and good value

The rooms need updating to a degree but are clean and have the facilities you would expect. A refresh would take the hotel to a next level. The staff were all very nice and efficient

We traveled in October, so it was relatively quiet. The breakfast was excellent, and dinner was buffet-style. Not everything was perfect, but there was plenty of choice

You absolutely must book this hotel for the unforgettable panorama and the exceptionally friendly staff, who truly go above and beyond to make your stay fantastic! We stayed in a Panorama Blue room, which also gave us access to the bar and the second swimming pool

The hotel had a lovely relaxed feel to it and meal times were all the better for this. The food was of a high quality and varied through the week we stayed. The quality and variety of meat dishes in particular was noted

There's a convenient bus connection to Chania from the hotel, and the value for money is definitely recommended!

room, beautifully designed and that seemed to be new, good, big bed, excelent bathroom with big towels and bathrobes, and a good view to the sea from the nice balcony

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

Despite this unprecedented crisis situation, the ENTIRE staff welcomed the guests with a warm smile! That's truly a great achievement! A very special thank you goes to the both managers LIA and YANNIS, who so professionally, sovereignly and prudently navigated their team through this exceptional situation, ensuring guests a carefree and unrestricted stay! This achievement deserves the highest respect...

Yannis's singing was particularly impressive and surprising (singer and manager - what a rare and extraordinary professional combination!) We will definitely come back! Most warmest regards from Claudia and Sven!

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

Furthermore, there was a very well-equipped and very modern indoor fitness room. In the evenings, the bar offered a varied program of live music

I stayed at the beginning of September with my parents for a week in this beautiful and comfortable hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. Our room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and very clean

We were given a room with a front balcony, even though we had originally booked one with a side sea view. I had read beforehand that these rooms might be noisy, so I was quite curious

Our stay at this hotel was pleasant and comfortable. The food was good, and what we really appreciated was that every evening there were new and varied dishes at dinner

Although the furniture in the room wasn’t very modern, this wasn’t a problem for us, as we appreciated how clean the room was - the housekeeping ladies did an exceptional job and provided us with fresh towels every day

The staff was very nice and friendly, especially the restaurant team and the animation crew. The beach is indeed rocky, but we found a good spot to enter the water, so it wasn’t a problem for us

A big thank you to the chef and the entire staff—you truly feel like part of one big family here. I can only highly recommend this hotel! Greetings from Sibiu, Romania! Silvia

We stayed for 12 wonderful days. The rooms are big and comfy, the view to the ocean was amazing and also the food unbelievable good. So tasty and fresh, every day new choices and really friendly service and personal

It was nice stay I would say, good breakfast and dinner, service was ok

The food itself was faultless- so fresh with lots of choice and the orange juice just out of this world! We are Scottish and can’t access Mediterranean fruits that fresh so really savoured the freshness of the salads and fruits

The Chicken Parmesan from Levante dinner menu is the best I’ve ever had and the mini steak sliders and Mille-feuille dessert from the Floga steak restaurant amazing; but in all honesty every dish from every restaurant was fantastic

Our luggage was set aside whilst we were presented with cold towels & lemonade and the receptionist checked us in. It was almost midnight and check in was quick and efficient as we were tired from our travels

Next morning we went for breakfast and another warm welcome was given by all the lovely restaurant staff (all the Katerinas, Nectarina; and Barbara - all assets to the hotel with their sunny dispositions)

The public areas and bar areas are good. I get the sense that many guests here are for the beach and don’t leave. They have an all-inclusive package with food and drinks

It was very quiet, possibly we were there on their last open weekend, not sure. Sound proofing wasn’t good In the bedroom, we could hear a man talking loudly either in the next room or in the corridor around midnight

I would say the cleanliness if at the B level which means ok but not top notch. The hallway out of the room is semi outdoors. The lifts are good and the stairs are wide and well equipped with rails

The bed was comfortable but storage is quite limited due to the small size of the room. The decor and furniture is on the old and outdated side. The bathroom is very small and a bit tight to get in and out of the shower

There is always a line to the espresso and cappuccino machine which do make passable coffees. I do dislike the crowdedness and the intense atmosphere for breakfast. There is nothing idyllic about it

The breakfast area is huge and quite crowded even though we were there in October. The guests seem frantic and not always courteous. There is an unpleasant atmosphere of fighting to get everything

There ws an excellent selection of food both for breakfast and dinner (we did not try the lunch). There was a bar by one of the swimming pools which only sold drinks - adding some food choices would have been nice

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

And the flax seed ran out three days before the end of the season (and was not filled up again). The door knob in our room was not properly working, so we could not lock the front door from inside

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

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 possible

If you do not like the music at the main pool, you can use the other (quiet) pool or the beach loungers further from the pool bar. We enjoyed the pool bar service (e

There are nuances like no hair dryer in the room, but I am a spoiled child by Turkey hotels, which are just different, so probably for Europe 4 star they have all that is needed

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and comfortable family-run hotel. The staff were always polite, friendly, and eager to assist every guest with a genuine smile

Our experience here was wonderful. The food is amazing, we ate a lot every day, desserts were great too. There is an open bar + ice cream bar as well. The weather was so nice, even in October, very sunny and warm

I highly recommeend even with kids, they have animators and activities, pool, anything you might want or need. And the massage was the best I have ever had

This is the second time I have been here and both times we loved it. The people here are extremely kind, friendly and helpful, the rooms are great and well situated and the food is amazing a d very varied

Third time at the hotel, everything was beyond my expectations! I loved ❤️ 🍕!!!! My room had a sea and mountain view. Staff were wonderful. Special thanks to the ladies at the reception.

The hotel has a very nice pool area (2), excellent buffet style dining with food to suit all tastes and the seafront is a short walk (5mins) from the hotel

We spent 5 nights here and didn't want to leave! The staff are so lovely and accommodating. The drinks and food are always available and are lovely. The cleaners always do an amazing job and are super friendly

Excellent place to spend with family. There are some snacks and a lot of drinks on the bar. Every Monday the are organizing Greece life music. There is a nice Potamos beach, but need to drive about 5 min or walk 20 min

A peaceful, well-kept hotel with spotless rooms cleaned daily. The food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared, while the bar serves excellent cocktails. Service is warm and welcoming, making for a truly relaxing stay

The hotel may organize lunchboxes if you would like to go somewhere! Very recommend this hotel for everyone if you want to enjoy your vacation in peace and quiet place! Best wishes to the hotel personnel!!! 😀

Food was good, pools are nice and localization is quite good - not far away from the city center

The best and most luxurious hotel we’ve ever stayed at! We truly felt at home. everyone was so kind and dedicated. The food was of exceptional quality, and the entire experience was amazing

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 only gripe about the pool area was that you had to use an app on your phone ( that didn't always work) or catch the attention of a server

The rooms are spotless but more attention to refilling teas coffee and replacement of towels would be better than the little treats left

The bath by the bed and open plan wash basin is a bit odd, and if you do feel like having a bath, it would take an absolute age to fill

The music was a little annoying and towers were not always available first thing, but on the whole, a great hotel

The location of the hotel is very good, and the room you booked has a sea view as soon as you open the door, and the beach is just a few steps away

Ioannes, who was so kind, devoted and made our stay very warm! ❤️😘🙏

The location is also excellent as right opposite the hotel is the bus stop to the city centre Definitely recommend this hotel!

Breakfast was exceptional. Sorry we stayed here only for one night

Nice premium bungalows with plenty of space for 3 persons. Nice beach with free sunbeds and good service if you want to order drinks and snacks. All the staff were friendly and helpful

We could spent an amazing time in this hotel! The atmosphere was so relaxing and nice. This due to the super friendly staff that helped in every way. The breakfast and dinner buffet was very good

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

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)

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.

I like this hotel very much. Although it is far away from the core area, the scenery of the hotel is really good, and the hotel staff are very enthusiastic and the service is very good.

Wonderful stay! Not far from the city center, the pools are nice and the staffs are friendly. Breakfast was so good and they even have live musician playing for dinner

Great service and attention to detail. Breakfast buffet is excellent and all hotel staff from reception to bar/restaurant are incredibly nice and helpful

A large hotel with usual facilities. Room was fine, though shower needs improvement as it wets the bathroom floor. Good choice of breakfast items. Location on main road not seafront so some road noise

We mostly lived out of a suitcase. The view was OK but not exciting. Very very noisy from the main road. The food was hit and miss, and not that good. As for the entertainment in the evening I would give it a miss

(Though we went to the wrong hotel on arrival and they said we could use their underground car park for €7 a day)

A hour of a so called belly dancer was limited to a woman dancing around looking bored. Another night a so called singer just talking into his mike, after 20 minutes three quarters of the audience were up and gone

Another night a so called magician entertained, again after 15 minutes or so half the audience had left. The local Greek dancers were great though. Ten PM seemed to be a curfew time as all went dead

Charged an extra 30 Euro above stated 70 Euros because of the type of room we had booked. The room was not that brilliant. A large bed but very little space to put your clothing for a 10 day stay
