Hotels with beach in Crete

Really cosy place right next tp the beach. Mari and Stavros are most welcoming. Also all thr staff including bartners and waiters are very polite and helpful. Rooms are clean and well maintained

The room was spacious enough for two and was cleaned daily (so nice coming back to fresh sheets everyday after a hot day at the beach). It had everything we needed to make our 10 day stay comfortable

Their sunbeds are set under the shade of palm trees, creating the perfect tropical vibe for a relaxing day by the sea. The area is full of lovely restaurants and tavernas just a short walk away

We're staying here for few days and it was truly amazing. Location Is the best, close to beach, bars, restaurants, supermarket. The staff is helpful, nice And overall very sweet

A truly wonderful stay at Bali Seaside Sailor. It was paradise with the beach 5 meters away by foot and a gorgeous view of the beach and harbour from our balcony

We had a fantastic time at Bali Seaside Sailors! The location is great, right on a beautiful beach with soft sand and clear water

Everything was perfect in this hotel - from the neat rooms and perfect beach location to the service and attentiveness to the visitors! Having a separate beach line is a real privilege in Rethymno, and everything in Batis Beach Hotel made our experience ten times better

We were very satisfied with our stay at Batis Beach Hotel. The service was of the highest quality – polite, helpful, and genuinely caring about the guests’ comfort. The rooms were very clean and well-maintained

Lovely hotel in perfect location opposite the beach. Rooms very clean and comfortable and the breakfasts on the rooftop each morning were amazing and such lovely friendly and helpful staff throughout.

Stayed here as part of a larger wedding party, perfect location by the beach, shops, restaurants and bars. 20 minute walk to the old town /harbour. The staff were fantastic and no request was too much

The breakfasts were delicious — every day we left full and happy. The hotel’s location is perfect — the beach is right outside, and it’s just a short walk to the city center

We have just returned home after another wonderful holiday at the Batis Beach Hotel. We always return to the Batis as it has everything we could want to enjoy our break

If you want a quiet place, choose this. At the other end of a long sandy beach. Good breakfast and dinner, a little more I would have liked different meat options. The rooms were clean and the service was good.

- good food - nice rooms - perfect beach Negatives: - the manager at the restaurant (an elderly man with makeup) was sometimes screaming at the guests, and very stressed

- sometimes the water filtering in the pool was turned of, and the water got dirty really fast. Had to complain for them to turn on circulation

we stayed at the sister hotel omiros boutique but i went to melody spa at odyssia beach for a back and neck massage with tanya - it was absolutely amazing and helped my sore back so much! definitely returning before our holiday is done, such a good experience and so handy in location right beside the hotel, beach, bar, shops etc🩵☀️

For 2 weeks only a couple of times there were mussels and once shrimp for dinner. Breakfasts all 14 days were the same. -There is no kettle/coffee maker in the rooms, and tea/coffee is not offered at dinner either

-Cleaning the room depended on the woman who cleaned. -beds, umbrellas and towels on the beach all for a fee, although this was not warned. And we had a full package bought

Place was cute. Pool was deep but very cold. Very old beach chairs by pool need an upgrade. Very wheelchair friendly. Good WiFi for Greece

Amazing views of sunrise and the ocean from our room! Great stay, close to the waterfront restaurants. Lovely staff. Highly recommend.

We stayed here with my parents and were amazed when we arrived, the hotel sits right across from the beach in a perfect location

Breakfast at the hotel was nice, but at €12,50 per person we preferred to use the kitchen or pick up fresh pastries from a bakery just six minutes away, and enjoy them on our balcony with the sea view

Our room had a small kitchen hidden in a cabinet with a stove, fridge, and sink, which we used often and highly recommend. Book a seaside view if you can, it’s worth it

The staff were wonderful, especially Γιώργος (George), and the cleaners went above and beyond, even closing the shutters to keep our room cool

Positives Cleanliness, fresh towels every day, bedding changed regularly Staff very helpful and couldn't do enough for you Good location Beach pleasant , plenty sunbeds during the day Negatives Food left a lot to be desired, not a great variety and not very warm

The location was great, everything close by. Above all, I must thank the animators for their amazing work. They managed to get even people involved who usually wouldn’t participate. It’s clear they do their job well

Luckily for me, we hit the jackpot and experienced a holiday I will remember for many years to come. I have to mention the staff — everyone was kind, from the housekeeping and reception to the kitchen and baristas

Special thanks go to Matt and Wiki. It’s obvious they do their work with love and truly enjoy and are fulfilled by it. Thanks mainly to them, we were able to join the activities and enjoy a dream vacation

We also want to thank the rest of the team — Alex, the Belgian charmer with the best ponytail, and of course, we can’t forget Mr. Plus two other lovely smiling ladies and the DJ

I didn’t expect much from this vacation since I hadn’t been to the sea for a long time. It was supposed to be a proper rest after a tough year

The view is amazing, amazing, amazing!!! I spent most of the day on sunbeds on the cliff. The descent into the water was a bit challenging for me (my knees 🙃) but I didn't give up

Also the kayak and the paddle is free to use. The location is perfect- close to restaurants, to the beaches. The hotel is very lively and the hosts are super friendly and helpful

Sitting on the balcony really adds to the experience during the meal. Walking distance to both beaches and all the restaurants

With easy access to the sea via a few steps (or a jump off the rocks if you’re brave enough) the crystal-clear water awaits should you wish to cool off; great for snorkeling too! The breakfast buffet is delicious and varied daily, the snacks are superb and the cocktails five-star! What truly makes this place is the team

The owner of the place is amazing!!! The staff is amazing, knows everyone, takes care of everything, asks and is really interested in whether something is missing and really tries to answer every request - and all with a smile

Our recent stay was truly delightful. The hotel was impeccably clean, and the breakfast buffet offered various delicious options that changed daily. Additionally, there was the option to order food for lunch or dinner

Perfect location near to the beach, sea view and possibility to eat breakfast on the terrace is perfect! Rooms are outdated but the price is adequate.

Travelled to this hotel as a last minute escape. The poor gentleman that greeted me had to wait up as my flight and transfers got me to the hotel minutes before 3am

He was so friendly and welcoming despite the late arrival. I had a beach facing room and drifted off to sleep and woke up by the sound of the waves. Breakfast is adequate and varied. Something for everyone I would say

The hotel is central to the beach, marina, restaurants, supermarkets, tour operators for day trips, boat trips, a local bus, touring train. If you're thinking about visiting this amazing hotel

I would advise that you get a private transfer, especially if there are a few of you and you can share the cost. Apart from that, I'd highly recommend this beautiful gem of a hotel. For my first visit to Crete and Greece

For me the only negative was the transfer, in the early hours of the morning, when you just want to get to bed after your flight, which took well over an hour

Nice small hotel with a clean comfortable rooms, a pool and restaurant both with sea view. It is located on the coast and has a nice sandy beach. Sunbeds by the pool were comfortable

It was quiet and not too crowded at the end of the high season, a perfect time to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. The breakfasts were quite good, but some of the dinner dishes were not very tasty

Great location, friendly staff, private beach, best house wine and last, but not least, quiet and clean! Food also available, gyros is great! Rooms are not sound proof and sometimes you may hear the neighbors; also, in the mornings most likely shower water is not so warm, but it’s common for all accommodation sites in the area

Booked on line with ease and dropped in on way back to airport. Staff were lovely and super helpfull. Alison a Scottish lass looked after us during beach stay while at the hotel and is a great member of staff

Would 100% recommend this place to friends or family who are wanting a nice break with beach access

Great hotel..the room's are very clean.. the location of hotel it's almost nearly to the beach..

We liked the idea of going to the hotel's beach taverna for dinner and didn't find the evening walk a problem, although the hotel does offer a free minibus shuttle for those who would prefer a lift

Eva was so helpful in explaining the bus services so we went to Rethymno and Ponormo which were both lovely! Breakfast at the hotel was really good and we ate a la carte at the restaurant most days, the food was lovely and fresh and we loved it at lunchtime for a break from the beach and the views are incredible

Lovely family run hotel in a great location, easy to walk to the beach, supermarket and a few other restaurants nearby. Hotel was very clean and staff were so friendly

The food was Authentic and delicious we ate there every night, we planned to come back every year but Andrw became quite poorly and ended up with a kidney transplant,but I would recommend this beautiful place,it was family run back then ,no noisy holiday makers very peaceful and clean and if your looking for authenticity this is the place to go

(I would suggest that anyone who is considering a stay at the Thalassi Hotel uses Google Street View to 'drive' through the village. That way, you'll know exactly what you're getting and whether Sfakaki is for you

The view from the taverna was truly beautiful and could be seen from all tables. The evening buffet was simple but sufficient. As as vegetarian, I was pleased to find that there was always something I could eat

Very kind staff and amazing location. Going to the beach is a 2 minute walk, very comfortable! Staff is really kind and respectful. Also pretty good food with an big variety too. Would strongly recommend.

I was at Aeolos Beach relaxing on the beach and drinking beers,it is the best place to stay and enjoy your holiday with perfect staff.I will definitely go back again.

Excellent choice, family friendly easy access to the village! Great hospitality! Many thing to do from sea activities to gum and a chill relaxed night at the lounge area !

There is a second pool for children, but not many used it, sadly. Board basis is bed and breakfast, but guests were forbidden from having their own food at the pool area, as there is a beach bar selling drinks and snacks

There are beach actvities (paragliding,banana, sofa rides etc plus jet ski), all at a cost, as these are all open to the public. We enjoyed the small, but well maintained pool area

There is a beach with loungers, but although part of the hotel, one is expected to pay 10€ each for the priviledge of enjoying them

We stayed for 5 nights and I highly recommend this place. The owner was very friendly and helped us with everything. The swimming pool and the garden were amazing. A quiet sandy beach is nearby

Also they had very clean rooms and nice mattress. It's a small family run business so anything you need you can ask them, they were super helpful

We loved it here!! ❤️ breakfast was lovely, freshly pressed orange juice, lovely coffee, the staff and the owners so lovely, really clean rooms, netflix option, air conditioning worked flawlessly, very quiet, great sleep, good bed

We came here last year and this year. What a friendly family run hotel. It is absolutely squeaky clean, spotless. Breakfast is great, air conditioning. Very comfortable with mini fridge, hot showers. We love it here.

It’s located a little far from paleiochora , you definitely need to rent a car , cuz there is not a bus station near the hotel. Breakfast and personal are good

They don’t have wash machine you need to go to city for laundry

A very good place to stay nice rooms nice breakfast and really wonderful helpful staff would stay there again

Beautiful place, excellent service, friendliest stuff. 5 star experience!

Nice place and very nice people, but far away from the city.

The beach was lovely but unless you got up early and put towels on the sunbeds you couldn't get a bed as it was so busy. It was 10e for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella

We stayed here 23 - 30 May 2025 on the second week of our holiday in Crete. A wonderful hotel in Nea Chora, Chania, right next to a beautiful beach

Our room was very comfortable indeed and had a marvellous balcony overlooking the beach (the balcony had no awning or sun umbrella but the very helpful staff put up a temporary sun umbrella so so we could get more use out of our balcony even when the sun was shining directly on it but a more permanent awning would be useful)

This hotel was a little above our normal budget but well worth it - we had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel (which is on seafront in Nea Chora) is about a twenty minute walk from the old town and the Venetian port

Really nice hotel great location on the beach. Our apartment was large modern well stocked kitchen coffee machine and a toastie. Two balconies with sea and mountain views

The hotel is in the very pleasant Nea Chora district of Chania which has excellent restaurants as well as some very good bakeries and places that serve good quality souvlaki and gyros

Sometimes we have stayed at the hotel and even if we are staying somewhere else, we always make time to go eat here. The lovely staff, good food and great ocean views make it worth for a visit

The new room has a very comfortable bed, but the bed in the older room might be a bit too narrow, but we slept well. It is next to the beach, which is a plus, and it is in the centre of the town

We were fortunate, and they went on and beyond their duties to help us. Further to it, the location of this hotel is perfect for exploring the Chania, the western beaches and the southern one

Each of the famous beaches is around 45-90 minutes. Ideal location as a base camp. If I have to come back to Crete, I will stay in this hotel

The food in the restaurant is excellent. It is as nice or even better than in town. The family who runs it is top! Super friendly and nice. They gave us the best advice we could ask

Thank you for the years of good experiences to the staff. I can definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay or eat at the area!

We stayed a week at Kaissa Beach, we were pleasantly surprised the hotel has recently been refurbished and looks better in person than the photos

Our first time in Crete and we stayed at Kaissa Beach. Very nice for kids ,helpful and friendly staff ,plenty oft space for sunbathing round the pool , and good prices for cocktails at nicht

The good points : very quiet just before season, lovely restaurant staff, great view from room, spacious rooms with balconies, dining with the view, close to the beach, small hotel/ apartments

The bad points: Towels changed only once a week , bedding not changed at all, cleaning staff really horrible, food absolutely the same every day (although hot meals are not bad at all)

Hotel is old and you can see that not a lot has been spend on maintenance. There is no option of double bed. There are always two single beds put together. Bathrooms are dated but clean. Some rooms have unpleasant smell

There is a local cockerel waking up just after 4 am every day, neighborhood dog that barks most of the day and night but when it's quiet you can hear waves and crickets. All together you getting what you have paid for

The beach is right next to the hotel, we got a sea view room, which was stunning to see everyday, really going to miss this holiday we had… they even liked our shit shirt night so many laughs, crazy golf and shops around, the staff was very helpful with places you wanted to go visit

Lovely adults-only hotel ideal for serenity and calm. Gorgeous beach, intimate environment and top notch food and drinks. Modern and nicely designed rooms all with a view. Exquisite choice.

Impeccable hospitality indeed, at Santa Marina Plazza! After a first time - last summer, now for a second time here : another pleasant surprise, the same quiet nice location, same very clean rooms, same smiling, nice and kind people everywhere : pool/beach bar (Niki), housekeeping, reception, restaurant

Everything in the hotel is great BUT we were told we had to stay in another hotel nearby for the first 2 nights due to an "air con failure"

We had the most amazing experience at this hotel. From start to finish- We could not fault the staff for their kindness and welcoming. The Rooms are very clean, made fresh bedding everyday and clean towels

Back in 2015 you could reserve a beautiful diner on the beach, now the beautiful ideea is almost forgoten. Overall the experience is nice, the beach and the see is amazing!

Overall, Galeana Beach Hotel is a well-regarded option for travelers seeking a peaceful, beachside retreat with essential amenities and a welcoming atmosphere.

We don't like large hotels, so we are very pleased with our choice of Galeana Beach Aparthotel. A wonderful location where you feel like in the countryside

The rooms are simple but ok for us (its a 2 star hotel), access to the pool and beach was fine. Easy access to Rethymion by bus

You can't complain about breakfast because it's not a 5-star hotel. The only thing missing was a few slices of tomato. When we returned home, I realized that I had forgotten my wedding ring

If we return to Crete for a holiday, we will definitely not look for another hotel

The receptionists have a lot of information and are friendly. My room was basic but comfortable. Fridge,kettle,tv(only German channels)and the a/c worked well

Also i missed a scissors, and a towel to dry the dishes, but you can buy those in the shops that are everywhere. The staff is nice and friendly, but we weren’t around a lot. Swimmingpool is not big, but satisfying

The hotel is in a very good area with amazing beach front, near restaurants and shopping area. The food is very basic, not tasty, boring English breakfast… No entertainment, lots of old people

The room is old, rusty but I give 4 🌟 for the pool area and the beach

Pool great and staff lovely ,Vicky really nice and helpful ,check in fantastic with the greeting from Genxi (also bar man) who just made our holiday the craic was brilliant with his banter and is a great asset to the family run business

Checkout with lambis was very cold and he seemed to only be concerned that we paid our bar bill , no thankyou for your custom or ask if we enjoyed our first stay at his apartments

apartments very spacious and clean, cleaners every other day. Could have more plugs, no sockets for hairdryer in bedroom and a toaster in kitchen area would be a good addition

I have to agree with a lot of the other reviews on this place it really is a hidden gem, situated in the heart of panormos a stone's throw from the beach and Tavernas it is one of the most relaxing places you can visit, the rooms are basic but immaculate all with a balcony and all you need whilst on holiday, the breakfast is a mixture of items that are baked by Maria who for us is the star of the show...

The villas are perfectly located in the quiet fishing village, moments away from the sea (with three beaches within walking distance) and minutes from a variety of tavernas - our favourite being George and Georgia! We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend

Spacious, clean apartments, friendly people, top service, beautiful homecooked breakfast. Quiet and picture perfect spot on harbour front in the east end of Panormos. Village and beaches in walking distance

Everything was fresh, and a mix of continental and fresh poached eggs. The room was really clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and an amazing bathroom (really modern with a walk in rain shower)

We had room 115 which was so special as it looked directly out to the sea, and also meant you could step out to the breakfast terrace in the morning. And on that note, breakfast was delicious

Breakfast was good (especially the yoghurt)! Panormo itself is really charming, as are all the people. Lovely restaurants in the village and the sea is wonderful!
