MRS Chryssana Beach Hotel ★★★

"Just back from Mrs Chrysannas. The hotel was very pretty and spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As we arrived late 1am, there was no-one to meet us, but our key and directions were left at the front door and we checked in fully the next day. The room was spacious, had a good sized balcony with sea view, but was in the shade all day and the room lacked storage for our clothes having just a wardrobe and only enough room in the drawers for underwear, so we lived out of our cases. The pool area was lovely but not so of you have children, as nothing for them except a shallow pool. The pool did not open until 10.30 so if you want an early morning swim you will be disappointed and closed at 7.30 for our 1st week but got earlier and earlier during our stay until it was closing at 6. This hotel advertises as quiet and tranquil and it was, but was lacking in atmosphere and could have done with some Cretan music at the bar and in the background at the restaurant area to remind us of where we were staying! The food. Well it was a bit hit and miss for us. Staying all inclusive we had a buffet for the meals. Breakfast was good with a wide selection of cooked or continental. but the cooked was cold by the time we reached the table with it. Lunch and dinner were uninspiring and we were offered some very fatty pork on at least 4 occasions. There was a lack of vegetables at the evening meal - thank goodness for the greek salad which I ate a lot of! Other reviews mentioned a bbq at the pool area during the day but all we were offered was sandwiches and cake. We ate out several times to get a more greek experience. The area was quiet, the village was small and a bit out of the way but the bus to Chania was frequent and cheap. Loved Chania!. Overall we enjoyed our stay but felt it could have been better"

Avra Imperial Hotel ★★★★★

"We stayed in a deluxe suite with a pool for 7 days. The room was somewhat run-down and felt quite old, unlike the photos online. Cleanliness was also subpar, likely due to the room's age. For example, there was mold in the grout between the bathroom sink and surrounding tiles, and the floor was cracked and always felt dirty. The sofa was white but very dirty, with faded colors and grime. The room's soundproofing was poor; we could hear conversations from upstairs in the bathroom. Furthermore, although the hotel advertised an all-inclusive package, they were very strict about bottled water and meal times. Each person was only allowed one bottle of water at a time, and it wasn't delivered; we had to get it ourselves from the bar. We were rushed around for meals if it was even slightly late, and the staff became quite rude. We had a small baby traveling with us, and although we requested a crib during booking and reminded the hotel via WhatsApp, there was no crib in the room. We waited over an hour after check-in before an extra crib was provided, disrupting the baby's sleep. In short, our experience with the hotel was subpar; the facilities, cleanliness, and service were not worth it."

Spilia Village Hotel & Villas ★★★★

"Lovely family break, beautiful island great food and local hospitality. If your staying here I’d recommend hiring a car as it’s very remote and car hire is reasonable We stayed in a one of the villas just up the hill with a private pool it was the perfect choice for us."

Aphea Village ★★★

"This hotel is a SCAM. Do NOT go there. The photos are magnificent, the reality is disastrous. The bathrooms are just disgusting, moldy. Even dangerous. Our shower leaked and sprayed everywhere, including on the electrical outlets and the light fixture. Guess what, cancellation and refund are not possible. They kept €2,100, the total amount of the stay. Any reputable hotel refunds in these cases. They are dishonest. This hotel is a SCAM. Do NOT go there.

Villa Gereoudis Sea View Rooms Pool & Bar ★★★

Euphoria Resort - All Inclusive ★★★★★

"It was my first time staying in an all-inclusive hotel. The hotel was modern and well decorated. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The restaurant was open at almost any time and there were basically no restrictions. The kids loved the water slide. Although it was not big, there were not many people and they could enjoy it. Unfortunately, the temperature was relatively low in early May and there was a strong wind. Although the outdoor swimming pool was beautiful, it was not very swimmable."

Elia Hotel & Spa ★★★★

Giannoulis – Cavo Spada Luxury Sports & Leisure Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"We loved the place,the food was excellent,the room good size,close to the beach,clean and pleasant atmosphere.There is a monastery called the Mother of God Odigitria Gonia close to the hotel very worth visiting.Would like to urge anyone who is visiting to feed and give some water to the homeless cats there,some of those poor creatures have been injured by humans and need castration,they live on the right when you leave the hotel."

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!"
