The apartments are located in a quiet part of town but within 5-10 minutes easy walk of shops, restaurants, supermarket and the central shopping/eating tourist busy area. The area was very quiet in the evening and we slept very well - beds were really comfortable with nice bedding and good lighting. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which was clean, spacious, nicely decorated and had a lovely courtyard area. Importantly the air conditioning worked a treat. The kitchen was equipped with basic requirements although the food in the area was great so eating out is easy and reasonably priced. Staff were really helpful.

The resort overlooks the sea and has stunning, staggered rooms in a minimalist, clean aesthetic. We enjoyed the great service from their friendly staff who were helpful and attentive. Beach access is great and as hotel guests, we got to enjoy the sunbeds for free. We had a double room with a shared pool and great views. The room was well equipped with toiletries, a Nespresso machine, bath robes and slippers. The nightly themed menu at the restaurant was varied and we didn't get tired of what was on offer. The variety was excellent for a buffet-style menu and the ingredients were fresh. The drinks selection was extensive and we enjoyed the different, tasty cocktails. A special shout out to all the staff that made our stay wonderful. Katia at the hotel restaurant who was always cheerful and paid attention to detail. Andreas, Kaia and team at the beach bar who took great care of us while we enjoyed our time by the beach. Stelios at the pool bar who served us amazing cocktails, always with a smile on his face. Ioanna who helped at the pool bar and was so sweet. Anna at the reception who answered all our questions and gave us insightful information. The staff truly made our stay that much more amazing.

The hotel is very modern, and the attention to detail is fabulous. Breakfast on the roof terrace each morning with amazing views of the town was very special. The choice of food catered for all types and varied each day, especially the homemade cakes! The staff were very friendly and helpful, suggesting places to eat and visit. The room was very spacious with our own private balcony overlooking the pool, cleaned daily, with storage space for all our belongings. The pool area was spotless,very relaxing with plenty of sunbeds. Drinks and food are available also. Private parking for our hire car just around the corner was an added bonus. All in all, it's a fabulous place to stay, and we will definitely be going back.

FAQs about hotels on Crete

Centuries of History, Days of Sunshine

The largest Greek island, mountainous Crete has stunning beaches, plenty of history and as much or little nightlife as you want. Party town Malia has many bars, clubs and restaurants on its Strip.

Along the coast is the capital Heraklion, a bustling city home to many Crete hotels on the beach, and a Venetian castle guarding its port. Its archaeological museum includes finds from the island’s Minoan era, while just inland are the Roman remains of Knossos.

Also boasting a Venetian castle is Rethymnon, a popular resort with a good number of Crete hotels with private pools on Booking.com. Loggerhead turtles nest in season on the sandy beaches here and at Chania, an important port with an attractive waterfront set against the backdrop of mountains.

On the other side of the island is Aghios Nikolaos, a small fishing town with a picturesque harbour. Just north is Elounda, a popular family resort, and offshore is Spinaloga island, inspiration behind the book ‘The Island’. Matala in the south has a bohemian vibe and intriguing cliff dwellings, while Paleokastro in the east borders Europe’s largest palm forest at Vai.

We could go on and on about magnificent Crete beaches, but whichever resort you choose, you can be almost guaranteed fantastic food and a good helping of sunshine.

    A Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommended! We had an amazing experience at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options that catered to every taste. It's a very family-friendly place, and we felt completely at ease with our child throughout the stay. The garden is absolutely beautiful – a peaceful and well-maintained space that made our time there even more relaxing. We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly come back!

    The hotel offers excellent value for money, especially for families with kids. The waterpark has a lot of slides, and there is a new aquapark project for 2025. Food is tasty and various, drinks are also OK. It is important to say that the hotel is not fancy, but it provides all that you need - and that is very good. You can also walk by the seaside road to the neighboring village, which gives you nice views. Special thanks to the manager that welcomed us at the check-in on 29 October 2024.

    Whether if you're a history buff or looking for an instagram...

    Whether if you're a history buff or looking for an instagram-able location for your next selfie, the Old Town and adjacent Venetian Harbour are fascinating to walk around. The area is full of great photo opportunities around every corner, as well as cool little shops and restaurants scattered throughout. The more modern shopping precinct of Chania is in the centre with everything you may need during your visit. Public transport is cheap and reliable although car hire shops abound if you prefer to drive yourself. There are tour companies available if you want to go sight-seeing and let someone else do the driving. Make sure you visit the Archaeological Museum during your stay to learn the history of human habitation on Crete. Chania is a great spot to base yourself for travel in the north-west region of Crete. There are so many places to visit that are within a day's drive from Chania. Chania is a must-do location to visit when you come to Crete.

    Heraklio was beautiful.

    Heraklio was beautiful. The archeological museum is incredible. The history musuem is likewise. The underpopularized The Museum of Ancient Technology was faciinating.......The city is a fine landing place to Crete and offers much more on its own, however we found the graffiti to be overwhelming. I do not believe the slander of it to reflective of the intellegence of the residents of the city - from my interactions. Moreover the beauty of the archetecture is marred by the slander perpetrated. I can only think that the building owners are overwhelmed by the constant repainting required. Hate speech is not free speech but rather incitement.

    Amazing Resort and extensive facilities on site.

    Amazing Resort and extensive facilities on site. Staff are amazing. Also one of the best mani/pedi I ever had at the salon. Resort is about 30 minutes from airport, and would say for a 5* Europe resort, this lives up to expectation, but don't compare to a 5* Caribbean or Mexico Resort, so bear that in mind. We stayed at the Ocean view room which had spectacular views. The Rocky beach was just fantastic with the lounges and beds, and considering how busy this resort is, never noticed it and never felt overcrowded, and you never had to reserve benches or lounges by the beach or pool, there was more than enough to go round and even more spare. A la Carte restaurants that were amazing and my favourites are Umi (Sushi), Azzuro (Italian), Thalassa for breakfast & lunch, Poseidon. A real let down of the restaurants was Nami, only delicious items were the Starters. Staff at this resort were fantastic overall, but special thanks to the following: Anastasi, Konstantina, Angelina, Ritsa and Lucas.

    Best place to stay when in Crete if you are looking for a mix of relaxation at the beach and exploring the island. Great sandy beaches, cool beach bars, beautiful old town filled with vibrant clubs and restaurants. The town is ideally placed so that you can rent a car, pay for an excursion or even use public transport (which is beautufly organised) to explore wild beaches but Chania and Heraklion as well.

    Agios Nikolaos is well worth a visit, this being our second time here after a day trip last year. This year we stopped here for 2 nights at the end of a tour around the island. We could probably have stayed for another night, 2 more at the most. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to visit, both during the day and night. Shops are great and beaches within 5 min walk or drive.

Evening walks through the town square and the nearby streets filled with local shops and traditional products were some of the highlights of our stay. It's a great place for couples looking for a laid-back yet authentic Cretan experience.

    Difficult to judge because we came early in the season when there was a cold wind blowing and not all the places were open. However, there didn't seem to be many places to eat [not a problem for us as there was one excellent place, though would be a problem peak season] . There were a number of apparently abandoned and ill-maintained buildings, which made the place appear less attractive.

    Elounda is a lovely safe area.

    Elounda is a lovely safe area. It is kept very clean and tidy. Good for young famalies and couples. Not so lively for teenagers, young adults with no clubs. There is a great choice of restaurants, most of which have great views. the quality of the food in general is good, the choice of food is very similar in most of the restaurants. The service of the restaurants is generally good, although many of them get quite busy at the same time, so you need to be patient.
