Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa (Adults Only)

"I made an all-in-exclusive reservation, and it was great because I could enjoy a course meal for dinner and a buffet for lunch and breakfast, and I also loved that the rides and swimming pool were free."

Lotus Rise Hotel

Alai, Crete, a Tribute Portfolio Resort

"The hotel is clean and well-maintained, both in the rooms and throughout the common areas. The staff, especially at the pool bar and in housekeeping, were very friendly and helpful. The nearby beach was beautiful and easily accessible, and the pool itself was nice, offering a pleasant place to relax – if you managed to get a pool bed! Unfortunately, towels were left on pool chairs for hours every day (sometimes up to three hours) to reserve spots, making it difficult for others to find a place. People would claim chairs early in the morning and then disappear to get ready, eat breakfast, and have a relaxing morning knowing their favorite pool spot was waiting for them. This went against hotel policy, but management did nothing, even after we raised the issue. This made mornings stressful for us, as we didn’t want to reserve chairs unfairly but still wanted to secure a place by the pool. The hotel seems to be expanding, adding more rooms, which might worsen the already overcrowded pool situation in the future. Happy hunting! :) Further, the hotel itself feels poorly designed and built, with some areas seeming unbalanced or awkwardly arranged. Our room lacked attention to detail; many things were crooked or improperly installed. The phone and TV didn’t work properly however they did fix the TV quickly after we mentioned it. There was also an issue of outside noise due to the lack of a door between the hallway and bedroom and at one point, the power was cut off without any notice, leaving us without electricity and water. It turned out to be planned maintenance and not an emergency, so advance notice would have been appreciated. Another major concern was the lack of understanding regarding dietary needs. There was confusion over vegan and vegetarian dishes – one menu labeled dishes as vegan, while another labeled them as vegetarian. When we asked the staff, they treated the two as the same thing. "Vegan, vegetarian? It's the same!" This is unacceptable, especially for guests with allergies, like those to dairy. Proper training for the staff is urgently needed to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests. The surrounding area is heavily touristy and lacks the authenticity one might expect from a more traditional Greek experience. It felt more like a typical charter destination than anything unique or local. In summary, while the hotel has some good qualities, such as its cleanliness, friendly staff, and proximity to a nice beach, several issues need to be addressed – particularly the staff’s understanding of dietary needs and the issue with reserving pool beds, as well as the lack of enough beds for all guests, especially with the upcoming expansion of the hotel. Sadly, we will not be returning."

Amirandes, A Grecotel Resort to Live

"We enjoyed our stay. All the hotel staff were very attentive and friendly. The hotel is extremely family friendly. The only downside was the limited variety of fruits available at breakfast."

Albatros Spa & Resort Hotel

"Located close to the beach and near a beautiful harbor, it is an ideal base for exploring the older parts of the city on foot. The staff are very friendly and happy to answer any questions or address any concerns. The food is fresh, delicious, and varied. The rooms are spotless and smell fresh. There is no battle for sun loungers; there were always enough for everyone who wanted one. Highly recommended!"

Glaros Beach Hotel

"We visited this hotel in September 2nd 2025 . Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting on the beach. We found the staff especially in the restaurant rude and not very friendly. The barman in the upstairs bar was lovely and friendly. There was not enough sunbeds to cater for such a large hotel. The rooms were spotless and the maids did a brilliant job. The lift was very small and slow and was quicker to walk down the stairs which were dangerous slippery. Pool was very cold too. Overall a lovely hotel just spoilt with the unfriendliness of the restaurant staff ."

Semiramis Village

"The good point is that there are always places by the pool, no sunbed wars and the food is good but can be repetetive. The reception is nice and helpful, the hotel is however on a hill and quite far from town centre to walk. The massages in the hotel is one of the best part, we went with our whole family and it was great, so relaxing and peacefull and the massage therapists were amazing and listened to our needs. The bad points is the room. We have a family room and there is no ventilation at all. There is a bad smell in the room all the time and definetly needs renovating. There are barely any entertainments by the pool only rarely."

Nana Royal

"We had the pleasure of visiting the Knossos Palace in June last year. Tickets can be purchased from the booth or online. Also if your group is coming without a guide you can wait at the guides bench and one available guide from the museum can take your group. The circuit is well defined for a self paced and the visit is well worth the money if you want to immerse into the Minoian history and Greek mythology"
