Villa Minoa Just Next to the Beach, with Surprising Sea and Mountain Views ★★★★

JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"The hotel has only been open for two months. The location is a bit out of the way, but the environment is quite nice, the service is excellent, and the food in the hotel restaurant is also very good. It's great value for money. I unexpectedly celebrated my birthday at the hotel on the day I checked in. Because I arrived at the hotel quite late, I found a cake and champagne in my room when I returned the next day after going out. It was wonderful! 👍"

Areti Suites ★★★

"It's just a country B&B, but it's pretty good, relatively clean, and the service staff are polite. If you don't want to travel by car, forget it. There are village dogs nearby, so be careful. Breakfast was meager."

Kalyves Beach Hotel ★★★★

"As a resort, it's a bit average. I stayed there for one night because it's close to the airport. No need to stay longer."

Sun and Sea Plus Resort ★★★★

"The environment is beautiful, and it's just a few minutes' walk to convenience stores and restaurants. The hotel is very popular; I couldn't even get a one-hour late checkout. The private pool was a real treat; you could just open the patio door and jump right in."

Heliades Residence ★★★★

"Amazing room with topmodern design. The bed was nice and soft. Unusual for to be in Greece. Everyting that you need was in the kitchen. There was even a washingmachine included in the room. Easy to check in!, even in the middle of the night. The oner was very kindly and helpful. We recommend this hotel from the bottom of our heart."

Almyrida Residence Boutique Hotel ★★★

"Spotlessly clean hotel. Staff are excellent and hard working especially those in the Thea bar area. Rooms are spacious and bathrooms good with walk in shower. Proximity to restaurants and beach is fantastic. Would have been 5 stars if the late check out had been better. Many flights from Crete are late in evening. Bags were left in an unlocked room and the only two showers available were here too. It was so hot in this room"

Phos Hotel Adults Only ★★★★

"The welcome is very warm Very clean room Idyllical frame Incredible service"

Kavos Hotel & Suites ★★★★

"What Stood Out: Our stay at Kavos Hotel & Suites was amazing! We stayed in a suite with a private pool that offered a fabulous view—definitely a highlight of the trip. The housekeeping staff was wonderful—always friendly and did a fantastic job keeping everything spotless. We loved the buffet breakfast each morning, which was delicious and had plenty of variety. The time we spent in the ocean was unforgettable, with crystal-clear waters that made it feel like we were snorkelling in an aquarium. The hotel went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like a complimentary bottle of local wine, honey, and snacks, which made us feel truly welcomed. Another bonus was the car rental included with our room, which made exploring the area easy, and the complimentary shuttle to the airport was incredibly convenient. Our driver also gave us great local recommendations, which we really appreciated. What I Wish I Knew Ahead of Time: The hotel is in a remote location, so having a car is essential to explore the area and access nearby restaurants and attractions. It’s beautifully secluded, but you'll need to plan ahead for dining and activities outside the property. Overall Recommendation: I would highly recommend Kavos Hotel & Suites to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious stay in Crete. The remote location offers stunning views and privacy, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. From the excellent service to the little extra touches, everything about our stay was perfect, and we’d absolutely stay here again!"
