Spilia Village Hotel & Villas ★★★★

"We have just returned from 10 days spent at Spilia Village. We had a superb stay: a place to recommend to those looking for an authentic place in a village currently being restored, far from soulless hotel complexes. Very warm welcome: thank you to Arthémis for making the effort to speak to us in French, thank you to Manos for his daily good humor and to Dora and Miranta for their kindness!! and to all those whose names we didn't necessarily remember... Everyone was very kind and attentive! Very beautiful swimming pool with lovely trees, restaurant in a stone interior, in short, we loved it!!"

Avra Imperial Hotel ★★★★★

"Absolutely top-notch staff service! The dining was also superb, and the views were incredibly stunning. The only issue was that the elevator in the lobby frequently malfunctioned, getting stuck and not opening its doors unless someone pressed the button from the outside. As for hardware, the power outlets on the walls in the room were a bit loose. Other hardware was fine."

Elia Hotel & Spa ★★★★

MRS Chryssana Beach Hotel ★★★

"After a delay due to the air traffic control problem, we finally arrived at 3am to the Mrs Chryssana hotel and were left in darkness at the bottom of the walkway to the hotel reception, to find it closed and our keys in an envelope taped to the reception door, so not the welcome we were expecting. On finding our room (105 on the first floor) we unpacked and read through the welcome note from the hotel telling us there were some snacks in the fridge as we had missed the evening meal (we had chosen half board). So as we were famished by that time we looked in the fridge and could not believe what we had been given..a large plate consisting of what had clearly been on the dinner menu that night, cold inedible chips, lamb chop, chicken wings, some sort of cubed meat in a sauce that had gone rock hard and fish that was unidentifiable, all stone cold and inedible. what a disappointment, note to the chef, some bread, ham, cheese and olives would have been better appreciated. Room 105 is directly above the downstairs refrigeration generator, the noise was horrendous so we did not get much sleep on our first night(we booked 14 nights) and requested a room change the next morning, which was sorted within the hour, along to room 103, what a difference! Thank you so much to the lovely lady on reception for arranging so quickly, So, Pros: Lovely location for a relaxing holiday, beach just across the road at the end of the hotel walkway, pebbly but we knew that before we chose the hotel. Rooms kept really clean, thank you to the super cleaning staff and a comfortable bed with good pillows Pool area very nice, clean and tidy, plenty of sun beds and parasols and towels provided Staff are friendly and helpful Breakfast is buffet style, varied and freshly cooked hot food as well as the usual continental breakfast items and local Cretan options Lots of different flavour tea to choose from, hot water and coffee is from a machine, fruit juices (not fresh but from powder concentrate so a bit watery but ok) Cons: Dinner in the evening was in the same dining room as breakfast but no effort to make the atmosphere even a tiny bit more sophisticated, (this is an adult only hotel) same disposable paper place mats as at breakfast, either very low or mostly no background music at all, most of the glasses were chipped and no nice lighting , even an LED candle on the table would have been nice Only 2 choices of red and white wine and 1 rose Food was unimaginative, even for a self service buffet it wasn’t presented well, not even any garnish Please take the fish fingers off the menu, we are grown-ups Desserts are clearly frozen and thawed which is fine, but please pimp them up a bit with some decoration, a bit of imagination needed After the first 2 nights there didn’t seem to be any lobby bar service in the evening while we were there Subsequently due to all of this we ended up eating out at the local restaurants in Kolymbari and one lovely sunset evening in Chania (Michali"

Aphea Village ★★★

"This hotel gives you good greek vibes! Love the atmosphere here, with lovely quotes around the pool area. Friendly staff, booth the housekeeping, in the reception- and the man in the bar and the women in the kitchen. Super good greek food, and other dishes in the bar. Perfect for booth solo traveling, with friends, coupels or your family. 7 minutes walk from a Nice and quite beach with free sunbeds (if you just be something from the restaurant that owns the sunbeds). Me and my friend likes kolymbari so much. We got a quite and realaxing vacation here at Apeha Village- and isnt that what We all want? Also want to say that bus to Platanias and Chania (same bus) works perfecly! 3,6 euro per person, and the bus was always on time."

Euphoria Resort - All Inclusive ★★★★★

"Very nice hotel, perfect pool access suite. Luxury family-friendly hotel with a fantastic kids' club team! The children's water playground is fantastic. Very large and beautiful pool! The staff is very friendly! A little something for my daughter's 3rd birthday! The all-inclusive is very good! With the added bonus of à la carte dinners 👌 I highly recommend this hotel! We stayed 6 nights. Everything was perfect!"

Villa Gereoudis Sea View Rooms Pool & Bar ★★★

Karmi Apartments ★★★

"I stayed here in September for 4 days with my partner and my 1.5 year old baby. Studio equipped with everything, they gave us a triple (even though the baby slept with us), small but functional kitchen, nice big pool! Friendly and helpful staff. All at a great price! Recommended!"

Selini Suites & Waterpark ★★★★

"Facilities and food ok! Door of room stiff and didn’t just shut without a nudge, “junior suite” with pool if kids jumped in, got shouted at by those sun bathing below! Manager rude unhelpful and actually I asked her to stop speaking to me as she was ruining my day! It’s a shame get rid of the bad atmosphere and it could be a nice place! To mention we only had driving licences at check in but forced to drive 2 hour round trip to go and collect passports including wanting to documents the under 18, wonders if gdpr is actually a thing how are they storing handling my data! (Previously given a passport per booking in Crete and having visited the island 12 plus times weird that suddenly we needed kids) anyway zero reminder on the whole passport thing via booking so we had to go back to our villa collect the passports and come back! Which kinda ruined the planed day but had we not been met with the narcissistic manager the hotel may of got a slightly better review…waits with baited breath for the comments from this woman who has zero empathy or ability to solve problems help etc! Had we got our money back we would have cancelled. However I quote “hahaha I would never give refund when you forgot your passports”"
