5 star hotels on first line in Elounda

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. We came last year a bit earlier on in may and it definitely was cooler, this time around was just perfect in June and I cannot express how much of an excellent time we had as a family. Where do I start? I need to mention the hotel itself, it’s beautiful and...

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. The staff were all wonderful - all reception staff couldn't do enough to help you, Albert was great collecting and taking our luggage, restaurant...

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...

The Bar was well packed, on the whole staff were ok. My only problem was, I booked a Massage/Spa, and the lady led me to believe she was going to give the massage, but she sent a man…., with no knowledge of who the masseuse was going to be…

Clean room and nice quiet room, all staff excellent and inviting, sea was warm, pools could have been warmer. The views from the property were very calming.

Great Base to Explore Elounda area Lovely staff Location of hotel very scenic A La Carte restaurants were excellent

This is a very large complex which is set very close to the sea and within a 30 minute walk of Elounda town & Square. The grounds are beautiful and very well kept and the staff are friendly. There are several pool areas and a beach side sunbathing Terrace with a nice but expensive pool bar. On balance, this being the end of the season, the whole place felt very tired and cleaning standards were...

This is a lovely hotel built in the style of a Greek village going down a hill to the sea. Our room was modern with a lovely sea view. The buffet breakfast and evening buffet meal in the main restaurant were very good as were the other restaurants. The staff were excellent and went out of their way to make out stay enjoyable.

A fabulous view across the bay this hotel did not disappoint. Great accommodation and we upgraded to the room with a private pool, well worth it. Great buffet breakfast with plenty of choice the alternative restaurants where an affordable treat with an extensive wine list offering both local and regional mainland options. I can recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Absolutely incredible hotel Friendly, helpful staff Comfortable and clean rooms with excellent showers Amazing view over the sea, especially at sunrise Great food and drink Good location near to Elounda Would highly recommend

Spent two glorious weeks here in October 2025. The hotel is spread across the hillside with inter-connecting walkways. 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...

Our family holiday at Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort was honestly a dream from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, my husband, our two girls, and I felt completely looked after. The staff are amazing—so warm, friendly, and genuinely happy to help with anything. They really made us feel at home. The food was fantastic every single day. Lots of variety, always fresh, and so delicious. We...

Excellent suite (a beachfront junior suite with private pool). It was spacious and well-furnished, with a sitting are inside and table and chairs and loungers outside. Roomy walk-in wardrobe with plenty of drawers and coathangers (proper hangers with hooks) too. Nice bathroom. The hotel in general is quite nice though a bit bland. Lovely sandy beach with a grassy shore and plenty of well-maintained...

We had an amazing stay at the Elounda Peninsula. From the moment you arrive and are handed a glass of champagne while you sit on a sofa to check in, thank you Natalie, it is clear this is a luxury resort. The reception and cleaning staff were exceptional. The suites are very impressive with stunning views, beautiful closets, comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms and products and huge rainfall showers...

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,...

We can't begin to say how nice of stay we had at Elounda Peninsula. Everything from the welcoming when we first arrived, to our great room, the service, cleanliness, and just overall friendliness of the staff. Maria our housekeeping service was excellent, and provided everything we needed from special pillows, to extra blanket, and bath accessories. The front desk staff (and I did not catch everyone...

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...

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...

Beautiful rooms with stunning sea views, excellent food, and private beach access. The dining was a highlight in itself. Every meal was a pleasure — carefully crafted, deeply flavourful, and served with genuine care. The same can be said for every corner of the resort. Whether we were at the reception or the restaurant, relaxing at the bar, or indulging in a treatment at the Kepos SPA, the level of...

Incredible views Fabulous service Giannis and his team were amazing,nothing was too much trouble and always served with a beautiful smile

Daios Cove is a stunning property architecturally hugging the Cretan coast. Offering pure luxury seclusion. The collection suites are beautifully finished in neutral colours with a generous balcony and stunning views across the bay. The food is delicious. Stunning tasty dishes and who doesn’t love a Greek Salad. ? The residents club offers all inclusive. Verve champagne is the house champagne which...

This hotel is just amazing. After a transfer from the hotel through amazing views you finally arrive to the hotel. We stayed in one of the collection rooms with a private pool. Just perfect! To move within the hotel all is well organised, the restaurants are amazing and we had a couple of special dinner the occurred during our stayed! Really upscale! The kids also loved it and were very well taken...

Built into a hillside overlooking a private bay, this resort offers panoramic sea views from nearly every terrace. The infinity pool and quiet beach access make it ideal for a relaxing getaway.

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.

We stayed at Angeia suites for 9 days excellent hotel I would use again the staff are so helpful and polite can't do enough for you breakfast is basic but okay not far from shops & restaurants plus supermarkets isissi is a lovely place especially the harbour

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...

Great hotel regarding price-performance ratio. Clean and good food. However it’s definitely not 5 star hotel, 4 star at most. No nice beach close to hotel, but there is variety of pools to choose from.

Very good hotel. We are currently resting here. Everything is 5+. With children, the best vacation is only here. Food is at the highest level, many thanks to the chef, who cares about his guests and wants everyone to be satisfied. The staff is very friendly, the girls clean at the highest level. I liked everything, I recommend it to everyone!

Nice 4 star resort (on some websites it appears as 5 star for some reason). They have three pools and and two small adjacent kinds pools and are located by the sea-side. A nice sandy beach is reachable with a free shuttle from the hotel. They have a free kids club for over 4 and payable one for under 4. They also offer babysitting services. The buffet is good with always something to choose from despite...

We loved our stay at Vasia. The service from checking in through to checking out has been excellent. We enjoyed using the pools, gym and spa facilities. The breakfasts were amazing. There was so much choice for everyone. The dinners were also great, I especially enjoyed the salad bar and the freshly prepared main courses. The service at both meals was friendly and helpful. We had a family room with...

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...

Had such a lovely and relaxing experience getting a full body massage with my misses, both of us left like new people, had to give a shout out to bibi , Pavlos, Maria.

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

5 Stars is less for this Magic Place. You have to be high to stay High Beach ☆☆☆☆☆.

Literally came back yesterday. Honestly the most beautiful and friendlist hotel i have ever been to. We had room 405 lovely. Had everything we needed. We arrived late in the evening not expecting to be able to eat anything but the restaurant had left us a meal with bread and fruit plate. So kind and attentive. The pools were amazing. We made some wonderful German friends. My husband had 3 treatments...

Amazing 5 star Resort for couples who wants a romantic getaway. We went there in early November and had a nice experience with the Spa and Wellness Team: Wendy, Christina and Tina. We enjoyed 90 minutes Cretean massage and facials. Highly recommend to spend some extra bucks to get nice and relaxing time.

Great resort, very relaxing, friendly and peaceful overall. The spa is great. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Overall is a great experience, this was my third time returning and would definitely come back.

Amazing stay at Ikaros Beach Resort in Crete! My wife and I had a four night stay here recently and it was a fantastic holiday. The resort is beautiful, our ocean front suite with private pool was incredible, the food was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful and the overall experience was brilliant. By the end of day one we were planning our next visit! Travelling with Crohn’s disease isn...

Really great atmosphere , Asian restaurant is a must !! Served by binod and Bishwas in the main restaurant and always had a smile in their face.

This is a stunning hotel. From the moment we arrived we were treated like valued guests. We were given wet face towels and a refreshing drink. We arrived around 11am so way earlier than the official check in but were told our room was already available for us. The room was amazing. As we walked along the corridor to it you could smell the newness of everything and the room was spotless and modern...

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. Due to the wind, we lost several days and had to use the pool instead, which was very crowded during that time. The hotel had its own parking. However, the one located at its area was quite small, and the other...

Beautiful hotel, staff were friendly and professional. Food was great, location nice and quiet, easily accessible. We hired a car but not essential. Rooms were clean. Overall wonderful stay!!

A hotel with 5* staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. 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. The comfort rooms are very dated and small, it looked like there were patches over old light fixtures which were then painted over, loads of extra screws put in to...

We are holidaying in this glorious part of Crete in this glorious hotel. Definitely 5 stars. The location right on the beach is superb. Staff are so helpful and genuinely friendly. Breakfast has a great choice. Lunch at pool bars very good too. Dinner in the hotel Italian restaurant our first night,the best pizza ever. Portions huge here in all restaurants. The whole hotel is extremely well planned...

We went to Alexander Beach spa at Stalis with my girlfriend and we had a Cretan massage with an express hydration for the face . Padelis and Alba were amazing very professional and friendly.Thank you aegeo spas

The hotel staff are all very friendly and professional, we had several treatments in the spa which were excellent. The rooms are clean and we had everything we need, except on some days, the coffee cream and tea wasn't restocked. The beach is lovely, the sea is crystal clear and there are not too many rocks in the water. The main streets to Mailia and Stalis are a little run down, lots of rubbish...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Cactus. The staff were friendly and efficient. We were a bit bemused by the bell boy who insisted on taking our bags a few yards to our room and would not go until we gave him a tip. It was like a 70's sitcom. We ended up giving a larger than normal tip as we did not have any smaller notes. There was a lovely water channel outside our room and a water...

Had a wonderful stay here with friends in September. Weather was fantastic, staff helpful & friendly. 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. 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. We had a lovely welcome...

Thanks to Anja, I enjoyed a wonderful morning of relaxation and luxury. The lava face treatment left my face feeling very soft and the full body mud mask was very nice as well. I highly recommend this in addition to your stay

I cannot praise this hotel enough, everything is fantastic, the staff are so friendly and nothing is to much trouble, check in was simple, room spotless, food fantastic and the deserts are to die for, pool is great, grounds are beautiful we cannot wait to return

Great hotel and splendid spa, Jessica and Irene gave us a great relaxing treatment. In general highly recommended, super calm

Great treatment with Jessi. Clean spa welcoming and friendly with good choice of services. Will visit again shortly thanks

Just got bk frm staying at the blue sea beach hotel with our friends .Fantastic holiday frm start to finish. The staff were Amazing couldn't do enough for you .They were all so friendly and made our stay so enjoyable . Wacko the entertainment Guy(Crete David ) was our knick name for him worked so hard keeping everyone entertained day and night with different activities.He was so funny along with the...

We stayed at this hotel for the second year in a row. Great good hotel! Very varied food. Clean and quiet hotel, comfortable beds. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops near the hotel. Thanks to Μαρία Κευγά for the good service and Nadia for the help. Thank you to the entire hotel for a great vacation! We really like Crete!

Such a wonderful hotel!! Loved the amazing food choices, grounds, drinks and very friendly staff. Just across a small road from a fab private beach area. Guaco the entertainment guy was brilliant fun with great music quiz nights and karaoke!! All hotel staff were very friendly. Mark Hawkins.

Just come back from 10 days staying here, lovely hotel brilliantly placed facing sea, the food was amazing and catered to all countries, while we was there it was mainly Germans and Latvians but we didn’t have any issues about it, everyone was friendly enough. Some rooms have pools that you pay extra for but please be aware if you pay for 1 the hotel should be opposite way round because the sun hits...

I stayed at Blue Sea Beach with my (new!) fiancé. He proposed to me on the beach with the help of hotel manager Yiannis, who was extremely helpful and kind throughout our stay. Every aspect of our holiday was 5 star, the service from each member of staff was impeccable, our room was modern, spacious and clean, and the food was varied and delicious. A truly lovely place, full of wonderful people.

Firstly myself and my husband went here for our honeymoon Just returned last night!! Couldn’t fault the hotel at all, staff soo friendly, welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble. The location was fab, loved waking up every morning watching the sunrise and listing to the waves. Staff member Stella (lady) she is such a lovely member of staff, thank you for being you. A la carte restaurant...

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.

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...

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...

My husband and I stayed here for one week in mid October. The hotel is stunning and so amazing to be on the beach. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind and friendly. The hotel is immaculate and very clean. We had the half board and the food was great with plenty of choice. The pool bar food was also delicious. We had an evening meal in their al carte restaurant which was excellent. The pool...

I had a wonderful stay at NUMO Ierapetra Beach Resort. From the warm welcome at check-in to the consistently friendly service throughout my stay – everything was pleasant and highly attentive. My room was stylish, spotlessly clean, and featured a lovely little terrace – a perfect place to unwind when I wasn’t at the pool or the beach. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 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.

Certainly not a 5* hotel, the bar at the hotel was round the pool, so sat on plastic chairs at night, staff working there not very friendly, the beach bar was fabulous and Mike is a lovely chap who certainly knows how to run a bar and make good drinks.There is a lovely bar in reception with comfortable seatind and this was never opened...3 pools and less than 100 sunbeds for the whole of the hotel...

The first thing to say, is that, as with everything - you get what you pay for. This is listed as a 5 star hotel, but is priced in the 3/4 star bracket - so please don’t be surprised that this is not 5 stars! That said - it’s a perfectly lovely hotel, and we had a great time! I would say that it is a 3 star hotel. The drinks were good, with a wide range of cocktails as well as the usual drinks. Food...

My only circumstances are bottled water is not free . No shower near main pool . Toilets not on same level as pool especially with children . -1 floor for indoor pool could potentially have a sauna /steam room to enhance the experience. Although the food choices are good. Maybe themed nights & pool snacks could be introduced.

Been here one day good service,nice food ,in central location 100 yards from the beach can't complain for the price we have paid

Friendly staff, rooms very were clean, service very good. On departure day they allowed us to keep the room with no extra charge. Location perfect. They have bar at the beach which you can use in your inclusive, welcoming.

This trip was booked last minute, but I can safely say it was a good find. The rooms are clean, the food options are plentiful and good quality. We booked all inclusive and found it decent value for the price paid. Maybe not so much for the cocktail drinkers but there are enough bars nearby if you want something a bit more fancy or maimstream for a reasonable price but the beer and wine is fine. The...

I really love this place! I like the food from the buffet, you can choose what to eat in the morning or in the evening. The rooms are a little small for my liking though. However, I do like the feature where you let the cleaning ladies just clean your room. Not to mention the staff are really nice and they guide you through the room. Not only are there 2 pools, but also a sea down the street. You can...

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. Food was nicely cooked and served. Every day some events like Greek dancing or wine tasting. In the room was cosy and silent. The cool elevator had Greek music while you are inside! Pleasant relaxing smell in the...

Absolutely loved this hotel! Due to being a Travel Agent, we were given a free upgrade from a Superior Room to a Junior Suite with a Plunge Pool and wow this suite was amazing, it really made our stay. 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...

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. We live in Australia but I really hope I can return. So generous with free wine tasting, cocktail and cooking class experience, very close to the beach and restaurants and surrounding villages...

Our experience at the Hersonissos hotel was exceptionally positive. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the accommodations, which were well-appointed and thoughtfully decorated. The hotel's dining options were equally impressive, offering a diverse and flavorful menu for both breakfast and dinner, complemented by professional and attentive service throughout the establishment. The restaurant...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! 🌟 The customer service was perfect—always friendly, attentive, and ready to help with any request. The rooms were very good, cleaned thoroughly every day, which made the stay very comfortable. The atmosphere was peaceful, giving us the chance to enjoy some real rest and silence. The hotel also offers some great experiences: wine tastings and food masterclasses...

This is a lovely resort, really quite unique as it's like being in a village. There are 7 restaurants which is nice as you can have a different dinner experience instead of the buffet all the time. Most staff we came across were friendly and helpful, especially at the bars and reception. The staff at the Enomy main buffet restaurant were mostly okay but many staff were rude or not attentive at all...

The resort was beautiful and well maintained. If you want any drinks with American liquor there us an upcharge.

We had an absolutely amazing holiday at Creta Maris! 🌞 The resort exceeded every expectation — beautifully designed, spotless, and full of charm. The restaurants offer something for everyone, from delicious local dishes to international favourites, all cooked to perfection. The pools are crystal-clear and plentiful, so there’s always a perfect spot to relax. The bars serve fantastic drinks in a great...

We had a great stay here over the past few days. Great food, drinks, beach and vibes. We especially liked Aris at Idaia bar who made us great cocktails! The hotel is divided into different areas making it great for families with lots of activities, and couples who want their quiet areas and great drinks and music with a view. Would definitely come here again!

We had a wonderful stay here, and highly recommend it. My husband and I brought our 1 year old, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly with the baby. My parents also came, and the staff were very supportive & helpful to them, as my mother is currently on a walking stick. The spa is amazing, I had a brilliant treatment with Stella, she has magic hands! Would come back again in an...

I spent a week at the resort all-inclusive with my daughter. After initially being given a somewhat noisy room, we requested a quieter one, which was immediately accommodated. My daughter loved the kids' club (bookable online) and the staff there. Only very special things (i.e. special wine at dinner) were charged extra. Otherwise, all drinks and snacks were included. The food was always delicious...

Solid 4* hotel, but not 5* and here few notes: Positive moments: Lots of greenery with plants and trees everywhere, the feeling is like in private mini tropical garden. The spacious family room. Proper main buffet, good variety of meals with some Greek specialties at each meal. Sea view from the main restaurant make your breakfast perfect and same for snack bar in the afternoons. Room cleaned (very...

We had a fab week with our kids, we were so impressed with everything. The village style of the resort is lovely rather than one big hotel block and it's great having a good beach attached. The food was really high quality every meal. Staff were friendly and helpful and the pools are nice, especially the one where you can sit at the bar inside the pool. The affectionate, well-cared-for cats are an...

I did enjoy this hotel. This is likely due to the time of our stay ( last week of the season) but that doesn't matter. A few draw backs though.... Drinks are awful. The soft drinks were so poor quality and the lager dreadful. Having no wi fi in the rooms challenges it's 4 star rating as does paying to play pool. However, at this time of year it's great for pool access and room to sit and,eat. Overall...

Absolutely loved our stay here. Staff were so friendly, resort was beautiful and very close to the beach. Food was good too. We were blessed with beautiful weather to which helped. I would come back again for sure.

The complex is beautiful and the room was clean and tidy. The staff are polite and extremely helpful. A vast selection of food is available and it's delicious, the food was the best I've had in a long while. All in all, I cannot find anything negative to say about this place. We'll definitely be coming back.

The massage was good and the pressure was just as I expected. Emma the therapist was lovely. I only wish they could play some calming music in the background and explain how their shower works.

Hotel right by the sea. The food was delicious with a wide variety to choose from. The staff were friendly. Special thanks to the bartender Γιώργος (Zac Efron) for the tasty cocktails. What I didn’t like was that there was no separation between smoking and non-smoking areas — people smoked everywhere: by the sea, by the pool, and even in the pool. Smoking was also allowed in the reception area. I missed...

This is our last full day at Serita Beach hotel. We have been here for 9 nights and was here the same last October 2024! After having such a lovely holiday last year we came back with the family and grandchildren. This hotel is very good value for the cost… The staff are all amazingly friendly and attentive. The rooms are clean / room serviced everyday with fresh linen/towels. Its more than adequate...

The manager delivered a very nice gesture to me and my partner to celebrate our engagement he is definitely a people person the hotel staff are excellent nothing is any trouble to them. The food is excellent and rooms very clean I would definitely recommend this hotel it gives a family atmosphere. Very relaxed and chilled

After reading some of the recent reviews I was apprehensive before our recent holiday at Serita Beach Hotel. There was no need to worry. Room comfortable. Very helpful and friendly staff from cleaners, reception, bar staff, restaurant and especially animation team who struck the right balance between encouraging you to take part without being pushy. Always a good selection of food for all 3 meals...

Wrong start at the beginning, room was overbooked for the 1ste day. They helped us to the other hotel and we could still use the facilities of the hotel. Did get a compensation. Older staff was polite and friendly, the younger ones nah. Room was cleaned everyday, so no complaints. Nice pools and beach was ok. The Spa was excellent, gym was very basic. What made our stay, was the animationteam Great...

Here’s an honest real review Pros: 1. Great view and resort layout 2. Spent 1000€ for a 7 day holiday all-inclusive with flights so pretty cheap 3. Nice beach with clear water and no debris in it 4. Close to a shop 5. Has a good variety of food around 50 at a time and 10-15 of them change between breakfast, lunch and dinner 6. Receptionists were always nice, helpful and cheerful with 3 other employees...

Our second stay this year! Amazing hotel. The service is great. I'd accidently booked the wrong room type, and we were upgraded for free. Giannis provided excellent service around the pool. Always enough sunbeds. The food at the restaurants are amazing, we can't decide which one is the best! Really enjoyed the pan asian breakfast. Loved the creperie, open all day. The sports activities were well organised...

Great holiday. The Italian restaurant was our favourite. Roula and Spyros were amazing waiters and recommended the best food! Toto and Ana kept the kids and adults entertained. Our second stay here and won't be our last! Excellent holiday!

Just spent a week at this hotel with my family and we were blown away. The rooms were great, mini bar stocked everyday, food was fab, all inclusive drinks were branded and cocktails were top notch. The hotel itself is amazing with three pools and plenty of bars with four a la crate restaurants and a sushi bar alongside the main restaurant. Staff were amazing and a special shout out to George from...

I had an amazing experience at this hotel from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a stunning view. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch — from the high-speed Wi-Fi to the luxurious bathroom products. The food at the...

This was perfect holiday ! It was our fourth time in Mitsis Laguna and I have to say it - this is the best hotel IN THE WORLD. We travel all around the world and honestly there is no better place than Mitsis Laguna. There are a few things I appreciate a lot: 1. Level of service Always smiling, always in a good mood, ready to help, ready to make you feel well. 2. Nothing is a problem - you want 3...

We were there towards the end of September. Still plenty of people and busy enough. Staff are awesome and helpful. Food was plenty and got too much by day 4. Property could do with some renovations and maintenance!
