Where to stay in Kolymbari

Very nice hotel, perfect pool access suite. Luxury family-friendly hotel with a fantastic kids' club team! The children's water playground is fantastic. Very large and beautiful pool! The staff is very friendly! A little something for my daughter's 3rd birthday! The all-inclusive is very good! With the added bonus of à la carte dinners 👌 I highly recommend this hotel! We stayed 6 nights. Everything...

It was my first time staying in an all-inclusive hotel. The hotel was modern and well decorated. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The restaurant was open at almost any time and there were basically no restrictions. The kids loved the water slide. Although it was not big, there were not many people and they could enjoy it. Unfortunately, the temperature was relatively low in early...

I loved this resort! I recommend the all exclusive pack if you want to have a good stay! The kids loved the water park everything was fantastic! Especially the food!!!!! I really recommend this resort it has THE BEST view etc

Really nice hotel with plenty of good facilities and a great layout. The pool is enormous and well lit so it really stands out at night and the private beach is a lovely touch. The food does let it down though. The buffet can become quite tiresome and repetitive and the food quality is certainly not the best. Even the a la carte options aren’t brilliant but overall it was a relaxing stay with plenty...

The best all-in hotel we have been to. A very friendly and personalized welcome, impeccable and smiling service everywhere, superb infrastructure, a wonderful swimming pool, the cuisine is very good and made with fresh and quality products, the cocktails are excellent, the room (upgraded) was very comfortable ... In short, it's a 10/10!

Disappointed. Won’t go back there because of the food, which tasted really cheap to me. The coffee, which was somewhat fine, was only served at the pool bar. Apart from that, the hotel is quite new and nice, with great pools.

The amenities of this hotel are amazing! The beach is not so welcoming and that's a pity but the pool is very nice. We had our room upgraded from a garden view to a pool view. The Half board service is wonderful. The variety of food and the service delivered it's top quality. I will come for sure if I visit west Crete again.

As I have a health condition I was looking for a good quality hotel in a quiet setting with easy access to good quality meals, I found this in the Avra Imperial hotel. My room was in the Residence Collection (Adults only) which was lovely and quiet with a stunning large pool, plenty of decent seating and restaurant/bar. I was upgraded to a room with a plunge pool and loungers, which was great as I...

This is a nice hotel, it looks very impressive. Food both breakfast and evening meals are varied and good. We used one of the restaurants on site one evening, and that was very good. Everywhere is clean, tidy, and well maintained. We had a room with a swim up shared pool because we wanted our own space without the usual sunbed issues. Unfortunately, the patio and pool area was completely in the shade...

The hotel was lovely in general, big clean pools, lots of loungers, delicious and varied buffet. Having said that, we had several little niggles that added up to an overall okay experience. Firstly, we'd paid up for a private pool and unfortunately the room we were given never got any sun so the pool was freezing and we didn't use our private terrace (we were there in mid-Sept and it was only 20-2...

We recently stayed six nights at the Avra Imperial Hotel, and our overall experience was fantastic. We would highly recommend it to anyone, but with a few caveats. We stayed in the adults-only section, which, as two adults traveling without children, we found essential. The atmosphere was noticeably quieter, and we didn’t have to deal with the usual competition for sunbeds. The separate buffet for...

Lovely pool and rooms (brilliant size for my husband and son). The overall look and feel of the hotel was great. The main point of disappointment was the service - none of It had the ‘how can we help’ approach (which you’d hope for, given the price) and none of the staff seemed like they wanted to be there. Also, for children, there was little activity aside from the holiday club - the other facilities...

We received a warm welcome and had a room with a communal pool. It was large, well equipped and very clean. The main pool was just huge and well-kept, with comfortable loungers on the edge of the pool. The food and drinks tasted good. There is still room for improvement in terms of selection and service, which is normal for a new hotel. Nevertheless, all employees were always ready to help and friendly...

One of the best hotels in Crete. Open first time 2020.

Loved the exercise classes. Lovely pool Not too crowded

Really a nice place. Kind and helpful staff. Wonderful food and drinks. Great possibilities to train and be active. Highly recommend.

The hotel is very nice, especially its staff and service is incredible! Also if you are not satisfied with the hotel/rooms itself, the hotel staff will make you laugh and smile every single day! The barkeepers Mr. Panos, Mr. Stefan and Ms. Anastasia are the best I have met/seen so far! They are a really good team and will make your stay unforgettable!!!

This is without a doubt the best all inclusive resort I have been to in a long while. The rooms, facilities, food, beverages, and most of all staff helpfulness is way beyond 5-star quality. The front of house staff have supported us in our stay and solved any problem (of my own making I might add), with a smile. The pool/beach area is stunning, and the food/beverage facilities are plentiful and you...

This is without a doubt the best all inclusive resort I have been to in a long time. The rooms, facilities, food, drinks and most of all the helpfulness of the staff are all above 5 star quality. The front of house staff supported us throughout our stay and solved any problem (made themselves I might add) with a smile. Fabulous pool/beach, plenty of places to eat and drink and you never have to wait...

I really enjoyed my stay here. Staff are friendly and helpful. The room is clean and has air-conditioning. I got swimming pool next to my room, so I can swim and do sunbathing as much as I want. Food here is so good too. I highly recommend this place. 👍 #AllIWantIsGreece

The staff is incredibly kind, sweet and professional, and we felt like home. Our room was clen non stop, and we had amazing view of the pool and sea! All in all, we had unforgettable vacation, and we are carrying everlasting fond memories, wich we will pass on who ever asks us ( or don't ask) :) I had birthday during this vacation, and the presents from team were sweet surprise! Big thanks fom...

My adult daughter and I stayed at the beginning of June for a week in a sea view junior suite. The room was huge with a sitting area, table and chairs and ample room for storage. There was a mini fridge, safe and tea and coffee making facilities. We had a first floor room so no access to a private pool or our own sunbeds but his really was not a problem as we love to sit on the beach. The sea view...

Absolutely beautiful place, very relaxing and extremely helpful staff, the service was amazing and all staff went above and beyond to help. Plenty of choice of food and drinks and delicious food, my mum is celiac and they adapted well for various choices of food available for her to enjoy as well. A lovely champagne breakfast as well was included on a Sunday. Armani and Andreas were also so welcoming...

Wonderful place to go to rest and relax. The beds and pillows are very comfy. The hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly. It was our anniversary whist we was out there and the staff went above and beyond to make it special for us.

This is a lovely hotel in a fab location. Easy walk to the village tavernas along the beach. The room was perfect, the sunbeds and pool were right outside and glorious. The staff are exceptional - Zoe, Natasha, Andreos especially but they all can't do enough for you. The air con needs to be on all the time as it is not the coldest. The fridge works best with the cupboard door open. The hotel is so...

Excellent 10 nights holiday, fabulous hotel , great views , rooms a little dated , air con not great , food superb, entertainment a little light , needed more entertainment in the evening, the staff absolutely outstanding, would definitely recommend but take up the all inclusive plus

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

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

A very nice hotel. 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. Greece wont throw money at everything like Boris for the tax payer to pay back for decades 😂

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

We stayed here with my mom for one night, and we were absolutely delighted with this hotel. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was special. The location is perfect—set in a peaceful village, just a one-minute walk to a wide, spacious beach with easy access to the water. The room was spotless, freshly renovated, and even smelled pleasant. We had a large balcony with a table, and everything was...

Small little cute hotel on edge of the town near pebble beach Very clean rooms and bathrooms Good quality linen Good breakfast Nice place to sit out Nice pool and bar Good size bathrooms Ample place to park The staff was also helpful A little far from main town for a walk in night from beach restaurants

From the very first day, we felt at home. We were welcomed with a refreshing drink and given a clear explanation of all the hotel’s amenities, as well as great suggestions on what to visit and do in Crete. The staff truly deserve special appreciation — especially Michalis (the hotel manager) and Polytimi (at the bar), who greeted us with unforgettable kindness and warmth, making us feel like part...

Nice place, very friendly with a nice view and a beautuful pool

Excellent stay - everyone of the staff Went above and beyond - food excellent.spotless clean in all areas Clean pool. Would revisit.later in the year may was cold at night And the pool was COLD. Beach not up to.mutch by found several others....

Really nice hotel right on the coast. The house is tidy and clean. Although it`s not the newest establishment, it is regularly renovated. The reception staff was always helpful and friendly. I really recommend the low season, as it is much less busy then and you can enjoy nature and the beach. Additionally this hotel is very cheap at the end of October. Breakfast was good and one had a good choice...

Very nice hotel. Good rooms, pool is varm, breakfast was super, dinner was cheap and very good. Also host is superfriendly. I was there 1 week and I do recommend.

So enjoyed this vacation! Family run great service, very helpful. Nice breakfast in the morning. Beach is a short walk and a store right across from the hotel.

Good breakfast, Amazing location close to the sea. Convenient pool facility, wifi, proximity to publish transport. Very high price to value. Owners are extremely friendly and will love sharing their culture with you.

Absolutely fantastic. Great food, friendly service, nothing is too much effort, totally laid back atmosphere, clean and a lovely deep large pool with grass and beds. Excellent hotel!!!

I like that all staff was very friendly. Specially owner of hotel all the time smiling and welcoming to every one. Hotel follow government restrictions about covit19 that's make you feel safe. Thank you

I wasn't accomodating there but was nearby and spent an afternoon in the swimming pool. It's free, you just need to order something. They make a great Cretan salad.

Great place for chillout with perfect service and food. Really nice beach and great swimming pool. Restaurant with beautiful view every time during the day.

The hotel was very clean, the staff incredibly friendly, and the food absolutely delicious – drinks too! We would be more than happy to come back here someday

It was the best service ever! Everyone was amazing. The waitresses, bartenders, even the cleaning personnel was service minded! Thank you Sophia❤️ Everything was taken care of, so you could have a relaxing vacation without worrying. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. If I’m ever going to Greece again I will come back here.

Our room maid Kristina was very attentive and welcoming. Had a few nice chats with her outside, only met her once in our room, when I had to go back because I forgot something. Thank you for the flowers!

WARNING Cockroaches The hotel is generally awesome, clean all around, clean rooms are ok, although some have bathrooms with glass walls, ok but impractical. The promenades and the area by the pools are cleaned every day. The perfect place to relax without children. The restaurant is ok, the food is varied, everyone will find something for themselves. Service at the highest level. However, we heard...

The host Nikolas was very friendly and very accomodating. For quite a basic hotel, it was great. Very pleasant atmosphere, and we felt even the maid went the extra mile for us too. She was great, as was our host Nikolas. Wifi not the best, shower not the best, but we can't complain, and we were there for 2 weeks. For a leaner budget on accomodation, I'd highly recommend. VERY relaxed, friendly and...

We had a lovely relaxing week here as a family of 4 with 2 adult children. We had intended to use the sofa bed in the lounge but they had put an extra bed in the single room for us. It was a bit of a squeeze but they only used the room for sleeping. We found the staff to be very welcoming and helpful. We had an issue with our villa pool as it wasn’t filtering but they were quick to resolve the problem...

We decided to return to Spilia village after sick a great holiday last year, not an easy decision as we had such high expectations from 2024. It didn’t fail to disappoint. It was really nice to see the same staff members that made us feel so welcome the previous year with special mention to Manos, Gen, Miranda and Dora who made our stay feel so special. Once again, service, food, setting and amenities...

A wonderful hotel with a beautiful pool area. Breakfast offering was excellent and high quality. Staff were super friendly. Would happily stay again.

The staff is great. The pool is a big plus. The location is perfect. The room is comfortable but lacks a bit of charm but since we spend a lot of time outside it didn't bother us too much.

Super friendly receptionist, she explained everything throughly. The hotel ground are lovely and clean the area is quiet and peaceful. The room was small but ok, 2 single beds and an upstairs area with a double bed. I thought the room was a bit dark, especially the downstairs.

This is such a charming restaurant and hotel, nestled into a little village. I have spent many nights enjoying meals and wine at Chalara, the restaurant within the hotel and next to the pool. But Friday was the best as the Marmitas Band performed live. It made the beautiful setting even more special and upbeat. The musicians were just incredible and everyone was loving the vibes and dancing around...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Instead of the studio we booked, we were given a spacious apartment, which was a great surprise. The room was cleaned every day, towels were changed every two days, and the reception staff were always friendly and very helpful. A great place, definitely worth recommending!

Kastalia village is the best hotel ever . Clean , friendly , food amazing , local products and the staff is so nice ! The swimming pool is amazing. Nearby the hotel there are nice beaches and you can walk till there. Highly recommend that hotel , we are very happy customers ❤️

Lovely hotel, food and cocktails. Only downside the little ones cut their toes on the tiles in splash park and pool near the bar. Afternoon receptionist was lovely also Akis who runs the bar. Little shop next door but limited, chemist near by and beach 10 min walk away but pebbles not sand and quite fierce waves. Bus stop opposite hotel. Air con and free safe 🙂couple of nice restaurants near by. Hopefully...

We just came back home from our stay at Kastalia Village. It’s on the edge of town and it’s perfect- quiet, far from all the crowds. It has large parking so ideal place for people with rented cars. There is some restaurants and shops nearby and a tiny shop just next to it- the lovely gentleman there has everything you need. The rooms are rather basic but spotless, the area is cleaned and well maintained...

This was a great hotel to stay in, especially with having kids. Had great swimming Pools and activities one thing though the Bar and Restaurant shut to early of an evening by 10 o clock they should of stayed open later at least till 12 o clock so guests could enjoy themselves more with being on Holiday that was my only criticism. The food was good, and the Waiters worked really hard in serving you

I stayed at this hotel for a week and the room was clean, and near the pool. The staff at reception was helpful and friendly. But the staff at the bar were moody. The hotel is in the middle of no where with not many restaurant around there are no other shops or bars. Across the road from the hotel is a really nice family run restaurant which is much cheaper and nice food there. But they don't...

Best holiday ever .....the owner, his family & staff go above & beyond to make your stay as memorible & plesent as can be......can see why people return year after year as we will be.

Beautiful family,always made welcome,have returned many many times

Lovely place to stay, small family run in quiet location. Rooms are spacious and clean. Basic but nowhere near as basic as some ive encountered in greece. Great swimming pool with space around it to enjoy the peace and quiet with a drink and a good book. Excellent bus service nust outside so you can get about easily. The famiky are lovely and cant do enough to make your stay as pleasant as possible...

Not long arrived. Could not have had a warmer welcome not only from Argy but also the other guests. We'll worth coming here.

Highly recommended, nice place to relax with super friendly owner. It feels like home and on days we did not visit other areas we just relaxed at the pool surrounded by olive orchards and flowers and trees

Very friendly place to stay, enjoyed my week there.

Very comfortable, well equipped and very clean villa with a nice seaview and beautiful garden. Owners are wonderful, nice and the kindests host you can imagine. Convenient location, in the village with lovely taverna, close to the best beaches in the area. We loved the summer kitchen and relaxing area around the pool and top terrace with a view.

As we had a bad argument with the owners of the villa i had already posted a very bad review of 1 star ! The problem is solved now and i like to apologize for my behavior . We had a perfect stay at the villa and all was wonderful .

Villa Georgia and Crete are both beautiful. Peter and Georgia met us a the villa to make sure we understood how things worked, and were there for us when the weather turned nasty too. Amazing accommodation, everything we needed to relax and enjoy our visit. We will visit again when the weather is more guaranteed Thank you so much Peter and Georgia. the best villas we ever stayed . Amazing exteriors

Me and my family had a stay of a week recently to the villa ! Heated pool was amazing and the villa offers many amenities and comforts ! Surely one of the best villas we stayed ever . Good to you Peter .

Excellent villa! Good access from national road, equipped kitchen, large swimming pool with jacuzzi. Just 1 minute from the sea. Some good restaurants in walk in distance. Peter was an excellent host!

One of the best Cretan villas I have stayed in. Lovely balcony for relaxing. Shower room next to pool with hot water. Comfy beds. And all the little things like toiletries, washing basket, line and pegs and even an inflatable unicorn for the swimming pool. Lots of steps and a smallish pool. Parking only at side of road.
