Brilliant staff. Good cleaning. Very high quality food in the buffet. Nice pools with plenty of free beds. Cheap towels. Close to supermarket. Bus to chania stops right outside dor 2.2eur a person. Couple of nice 🐈. Close to nice hiking. Not safe to cross the road for kids! But that's not the hotels fault.

All in all super happy about our stay.

The actual resort is good. Decent sized pools, could be abit bigger though. The actual location is not the best, its just okay. Kinda on the outskirts from the city centre. The actual beach is also not really a beach. Its pretty terrible as its not a beach with proper normal sand. Its filled with rocks. You'd imagine a resort with the name "beach" would include a better beach experience, but it is what it is. Its also next to a doctor building which can be useful for foreigners. A grocery store is not far away either. Also plenty of decent restaurants nearby. The streets are abit dirty tbh and very narrow. I'm 5'8, average height but pretty massive as a former bodybuilder so noone could pass me lmao. Too narrow for my liking. But all in all, we left pretty satisfied. Definitely room for improvement, the beach in particular and increase the pool sizes or something. Kind regards, Andreas/Andrew.

Staying at the resort was excellent, and the service was on point. The food was great, but staying by the pool and getting served drinks was a whole experience. The bartenders love what they do and would even recommend you their favorite drinks to make and adjust it to your taste. Simply amazing!!! 10 out of 10 would recommend. Already looking forward to my next visit.

After a 2weeks staying we have mixed feelings about this hotel.
There is many things this hotel can improve.
First of all this is rated as a Apollo Mondo selected hotel which stand for good standard, service and location.
Location of the hotel was fantastic and scored full pot, but..
Most of the hotel staff in reception was not service minded at all, they seems like they had a bad day at work, everyday.
When arrived first day we did not feel a warm welcome,neither did we got any information of our staying other than a pice of A4 paper.

We had the double room with pool view in section 9.
The room itself was of good standard, 2 ballcoons and was ok furnished with a small kitchen, but missed shelfs and hooks on wall to hang clothes on.
The main bed and pillow was good, but personally I dont like the shared duvet.
The kid beds was 2 couches put together, these could be alittle softer according to them.
A big minus was they did not change the bed sheet on any days during our 14day stay.

Bathroom was small and there was not any shelfs to put bathroom belongings.
The shower did not have any pressure at all and the selecting of overhead or showerhead did not work properly.
Another big minus for us who liked our morning workout, there is no warm water in the morning.
Shower towels only replace 2times a week, but after notifying reception we got new every room cleaning.

Need to be early in the morning to get sunbeds.
Poolarea is ok, but very dirty pools. Did not see any one take samples of pool or any other confirmation it was ok.
It is not allowed to bring own drink/snacks to pool area.
Pool bar is a bit overpriced and waiters have not control over your order as they often came with wrong / not our food.
Early morning breakfast including light snacks, coffee and fruit did not excist even this was informed to us.
It is not allowed to bring coffee to the sunbeds, my wife got chased down by one of the waiter that came after her to inform her.

Resturant had good food with a varying of varm and cold food.
A plus was the staff did set tables for all 17 in our family group every night.

Gym area had worn equipment and did not look as the picture on their website at all.

Kids room did not excist, even they have picture of it on the website.
They have built this room to arcade room where everything cost.

We will miss the location and some of the staff.
But this hotels lacks alot on the service side that give this score.

We spent 7 days at Santa Helena beach in 2024, 13/7–20/7.
The hotel is very clean, architecture is nice and we had a 2 room ground floor apartment with a terrace to the pool area and evening sun. Good and free sun beds both at the pool at the beach (if you buy from the bar which is easy)

The restaurant has a good variation of easier snacks, excellent pizza and burritos and good dinner dishes.

The tuna fillet was amazing and also the souvlaki.

The beach outside the hotel is nice but would be even better if there was sand since the small rocks get really hot. The ocean bottom is fine sand and it gets a deep fast but remain at approximately 3-4 far out.

Recommended!

Alexandros, the waitor at the restaurant, is an asset to the hotel. He was what my boyfriend and I would call a serviceman. He is the only reason why the hotel was given 4 stars. The bar manager was hard to get a smile out off, and she seemed to be tired of her work and customers. Never an acknowledgement from her when we were waiting at the bar.
The general manager we presumed walk around and having meeting with the head chef and previously mentioned bar manager. And for me seemed like the hotel is under micro management with how the GM is wallimg around Which is a shame. It has a lot of potentiel to be one of the best.

The cleaning staff was working hard in the heat. We hope they take good care of them. The housekeeping manager ones said hello to us and seemed to help the staff.

The rooms are fine small but good with no major mallfunction. The kitchen could use an upgrade. But for os had what we needed.

We had a great holiday in the hotel the sun was shining and we explored the area cusine but we found platanias a bit too touristed. And will not come back but due to the hotel.

Very clean and quiet hotel in a good location. The staff is nice and the cleanliness of the entire area is well taken care of. Very good air conditioning in the rooms. Shops and services are nearby. The sounds of the nearby road are hardly disturbing. The kitchen offers a versatile and changing buffet table, and I recommend taking half board. I recommend this hotel!

This hotel had a great location right next to the beach. We only had a few metres to walk to take a swim in the sea, and it was easy to travel to and from with public transport. We could also park our rental car in the side street. The pool area is beautiful.

The employees seemed a bit overworked, but absolutely did their best. My room looked a bit worn down, but you could see that they had tried to clean it even though there were limits to what thy could do. (Yellow spots on the lampshades, bugs living under the sink in the bathroom, worn shelves with interesting brown spots). I had room 503 on the ground floor, and my friends on a higher floor did not have bugs.

Even though we enjoyed our stay I would probably not book this hotel again until they renovate it. However, the location and the food in the restaurant was excellent. I also loved to see that the guests and staff put out water and food for the stray cats.

I really enjoyed staying at Santa Helena. It's ideal for people who want a pool or beach just outside the rooms. The rooms themselves are really nice as well. There's A/C in all major parts of the room, as well as balconies. Every day there's maids coming to clean the room and fix the beds. You have to do the plates and glasses yourself though. There's also a few really good restaurants right by the hotel.
