Poledas Apartments

Modern large and well equipped apartment with magnificent sea view. Daily cleaning. Very well maintained outdoor area and pool. Helpful and gracious hosts. Helped us with problems with the rental car. Highly recommended.

Every now and then you find a hotel that does everything just perfectly. Usually they are never big, super luxury hotels as they often lack true soul, but often smaller family run hotels! After almost a year and a half of lockdown due to Covid I was excited to finally visit Greece for the first time and our destination was Crete. Our final stay was booked into Poledas Apartments in Dramia, a small family run Apartment property so expectations were not high! However from the moment we walked up the entrance we knew we were in for a very special stay. This small property with 10 newly renovated apartments reminds me of the world famous Necker Island owned by Richard Branson. The focus of the property is the swimming pool, surrounded by little seating areas that you can happily spend a day with a good book and a glass of wine. This is the most relaxing pool area I have ever experienced. Being a family owned and run business you can see that every detail has a meaning and purpose. This creates a sense of being valued as a guest. So to the apartments. They are very spacious and all have on-suite bathrooms, fantastic air conditioning, cooking facilties and super comfy beds. Spotlessly clean and all with amazing mountain and sea views. I highly recommend. For families they have a kids pool, play area in the garden, and a room full with games and colours to borrow to keep the little guests busy. The prices could be 50% higher and it would still be a bargain. 11/10 for price. If you need help with anything the owners are always available, almost like your personal butler. I have been luck to stay in some of the best hotels in the world, honestly I would be more excited to return to Poledas Apartments as it offers the personal touch that makes for a perfect stay.

The hosts are the most welcoming, helpful and sympathetic people you will ever meet! They will go out of their way to make you feel at home away from home. As for the accommodation, it is very clean and cozy! It includes a furnished kitchenette with all the necessities, a beautiful pool and a little playground!
