4 star hotels in Agios Nikolaos

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel on the beach and within easy walking distance from the centre of Agios Nikolaos. The hotel is delightfully set with modern stone built bedroom units clustered on each side of a small valley leading down to the sea. There are two large pools (and a smaller one) with plenty of sunbeds and parasols; also nice shady areas for those wishing to avoid the sun...

Was great. nothing more to say. George did a great job. We were there for holidays. The hotel is super. Everyone is nice. We enjoyed.

Beautiful location, excellent hospitality and wonderful people, especially in the restaurant, the service is amazing! Special thanks to Mrs. Thalia for the excellent hospitality she offered us all the days we visited the restaurant!! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a unique vacation alone or with their family!

Very nice hotel! The food is delicious but a little salty! The breakfast that Mrs. Thalia made us was excellent! The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff is very helpful. I am very happy. I highly recommend it and I will definitely come back again.

Hotel is perfectly located on the beach and 10 minute walk to town. Room was very comfortable with great views. Had half board and food was very good. Plenty to choose from good variety. All staff were very friendly and helpful particularly Eleni and Georgios in the restaurant. The reception staff were very helpful and were able to arrange a late checkout despite being fully booked. Will definitely...

This hotel is well situated for a ten minute walk into Agios Nikaloas yet quieter than the town. The hotel architecture is lovely as the bungalows are built into the landscape. Our rooms had a side sea view which afforded a good view of the sea and mountains. The staff were friendly and helpful. Spyrios in the restaurant gets a particular mention! The bungalows are good sized. The twin beds don’t make...

Well located not far from the marina and the city center, this hotel seems to be surviving. The rooms are clean and the bedding is comfortable. In the bathroom, a tiny bathtub doubles as a shower. Using the shower inevitably floods the area around the bathtub. The plumber clearly has shares in a silicone factory, given the quantity used in this small room. To secure your valuables in the room, you...

The hotel is in a perfect location, within walking distance to the city of Agios Nikolaos and a number of beaches. It is situated in a quiet location but also very central. There is a municipal parking 1 min from the hotel with reasonable prices. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast with very big variety and good quality of products.

Our room wasn't ready (for two people they had given us a room with 5 beds!). They gave us another room number 311. A real scandal, impossible to take a shower, the shower head is in the bathtub and the bathtub is very small. I am 1.53m tall and weigh 65kg, impossible to turn around without flooding everything. Also hello hygiene!!!! The pool closes at 5pm and the water is 19 degrees. Not at all

excellent service, professional attitude, especially S. Xarouli was the best co ordinator in order to satisfy all our needs! all the guests were extremely satisfied! a place to visit in the centre of Agios Nikolaos! do not miss it! many thanks for everything, especially for your smile and for your positive attitude! S. Xarouli i am looking forword to work with you soon!!! all the best for the upcoming...

Comfortable and clean rooms, friendly staff and great location. My friend and I stayed for a week, and enjoyed our stay. The only thing we missed was better choices of non-diary/gluten-free breakfast breakfast and better coffee. My friend is allergic and I need good coffee to awaken my soul in the morning. Or else great stay!

Stayed for a week and I enjoyed location and atmosphere a lot. This is a family run hotel, so it definitely feels different. Staff is very helpful and polite, I can definitely recommend. Town center, seafront walk and the beach is at your doorstep !

We booked for 7 nights in this hotel in Agios Nikolaos. The location is perfect by the sea coast, there is lovely blue flag beach right next to the hotel. Breakfast is nice with high variety of food, service excellent and the hotel staff- always kind and helpful. We have double sea view room on the 7-th floor, over the pull and the bar, but it turns out that it can be quite noise at night. If you want...

The hotel is in a good location in Agios Nikolaos. Shopping, restaurants and cafes are all around the corner. A bit tough to get here with a car though, neither Google maps and Waze couldn’t give a good route to the hotel street. We arrived with a different route every day. Parking is also a bit problematic if you arrive after 5 pm. Hotel itself - breakfast was nice with good bacon, eggs and some different...

Located in the heart of Agios Nikolaos town, just next to the beach. Clean place, unbelievable breakfast, gentle personnel. They have made an extreme make over renovation. There is little place to park.

Review wrote by Andrea & Gary from Manchester. Stayed September 20th to 1st October. Massive congratulations to the hotel manager Antonis and all the team for creating a hotel with a fabulous atmosphere, You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Special mention to Koula and Artela for providing us with pool side snacks, drinks and laughs, you are great ladies and i wish you well. To Eleni and all...

Fantastic stay, had planned for over a year to take our two children for a great holiday before exams and university etc so wanted everything to be right. Not disappointed, the Hotel was spacious and Staff were very friendly. Food was out of this world and a great location over looking the Sea and 5 mins walk into Agios Nikolaos. Great Gym and also tried out the Spa. Would definitely recommend and...

The staff as always make this hotel. Thank you to them for the many years of faithful service to the guests and many management operators/owners. The time has come for a complete renovation which is badly needed - but only in the rooms in my opinion. The public areas (reception, bar, pool, restaurant) are superior to a number of hotels passing themselves off as 5* Hotels, and of course the staff are...

The room, place, food, beach is excellent. Manus and Asimina were the best host we ever had experienced. We will be coming again to the place and we highly recommend the place to visit a place just like a paradise

I ‘ve stayedin Faedra Beach hotel this year in august. The servise was eficient. I liked the hotel staff, always helpful, friendly and welcome. I felt I was the local amongs them. The room was clean, and being cleaned every morning. Also the hotel location and it’s restaurant right away to the beach, with it’s support at the beach with various snacks and beverages. Location was convenient to reach...

Many thanks to the hotel Faedra Beach Resort for our summer family vacation in July 2025. I want to note the very friendly and hospitable staff. All issues were resolved quickly and without problems. Dear Greeks, you are the best ❤️. We were not in Greece for the first time and are very grateful to you for your attitude towards tourists! The hotel is small but very comfortable. There is everything...

Little gem with everything we needed, very friendly and personable. Perfect in every way.

We visited during off season. Manos ist super nice and friendly. We Had a room Upgrade with big balcony and perfect ocean view, its a really nice and comftable hotel with a great beach directly by the Hotel . We enjoyed this place a lot!

A very pleasant staying, the personal very kind, polite, eager to fulfill any wish related to your staying: car renting, bike renting, room change, iron for clothes, etc. The rooms are clean, beach over the road, the restaurant is located on the beach. Rich breakfast mainly with local products (cheese, olives, vegetables, fruits, etc).

Beautiful grounds. Very quiet and peaceful. Good breakfast and clean rooms. However no atmosphere whatsoever. Evening meal terrible and expensive. No music or entertainment in evening. Says bus stop outside but no buses directly into Agios Nic. Small beach but not nice for swimming. Got the impression hotel was nearer to the town but too far to walk for older people. Most of the staff lovely but some...

We stayed here following a 4 star holiday in Chania last year. Although the communal areas of the hotel are lovely, the pool areas and rooms need updating badly. We were given double rooms in the detached block which were cleaned with fresh towels daily. The storage was poor so we lived out of our cases and were woken through the night by loud air con fans (external not ours) and I heard others complaining...

Great location, clean throughout and staff are friendly. Manager is great. Our room was 206 in the main building. Lovely view and had everything we needed. Quiet location. Ate out every night in different location. 2 lovely beach front restaurants 10 mins away at Amoudi Beach. Town about a further 20 mins. Had a wonderful holiday and would definitely return. So long as it remains adults only...

Rooms were spotless and very comfortable, with a great sea view from the spacious balcony. However, we had to move rooms as our first room (205) was right next to an extremely noisy extractor on the outside wall, which was on throughout the night and prevented us from sleeping. Good choice for breakfast but evening buffet was disappointing. Pool areas were well laid out with comfortable sunbeds. ...

If you’re looking for a friendly quieter hotel but still within easy reach of Agios Nikolaos this is your place. Staff were great and very helpful providing us with food after we arrived late at night and also allowing us the use of rooms and a late check out on the last day.

The food was a let down mostly cold and not to a good standard - husband had food poisoning! Do not recommend eating at this hotel

A very nice hotel situated overlooking the bay in agios Nikolaos. Rooms are light and airy with rooms cleaned on a daily basis with fresh towels. The staff are amazing and so friendly and the breakfast has a huge choice from fresh meat and cheese to yoghurt cereal and sausages and bacon. To there's also fresh bread and rolls to choose from and a vast array of dried fruit and even cakes and doughnuts...

Cute hotel with great views in the breakfast area, and nice staff. Also, the view of the hill at the semi-private pools is beautiful. The cleaning was done thoroughly daily in our room. As a nice bonus, there is a cute cat that comes to join at breakfast time every other day.

Great location and the view is awesome. Has a lot more potential to be honest. Rooms were very good although some details prove that they could be a lot cleaner and i cannot accept that in the price given the TV is not smart. Personally i hate when showers don’t have a door and the whole bathroom becomes soaking wet. Bathroom in particular needs more attention regarding a customers hygiene. Essence...

We came for 2 nights in couple. It is a nice place, reserved for adults. Swimming pool is confortable and very quite, with some wind and a very beautiful view on the see! Lots of olive trees around the place. The restaurant is good! Breakfast is very nice too.

We stayed here for 5 nights. Hotel was very clean, bright and welcoming. We arrived late and Iwavva (Joanne) welcomed us like family. We loved our room a unit on the top floor with access to a shared pool. The views are amazing. The breakfast was plentiful with many selections. We had dinner there 2 nights and we’re not disappointed, amazing flavours. The staff in the restaurant and bar were great...

We had a great time here in off-season, my rating is based on the price and value you get. We had only Breakfast (Agios Nicolais has a tons of choices for lunch and dinner) that offered all we expected e.g. fresh fruit, eggs, omelette - the only drawback was the coffee and juices are not fresh and came from a kind of “instant” machine, but if you want a good coffee you can order one from the barista...

Candia park village has always been my favourite place, it's beautiful and feel relaxed this was my 7th time going and some things have changed over the years, the rooms are lovely and have had new bathrooms fitted, I was in room 951 which was at the very top so was a bit of a trek getting up to the room but it had a perfect view and was so quiet up there so was lovely, the 2 cleaners that did our...

We returned to Candia park for a second time after our last trip in August. This time we had my in laws in tow so 6 of us overall, 2 children 6&10. Candia Park is beautiful and the staff are a credit to the hotel. There was a different vibe in June than August as it was not the usual school holidays so the hotel was mainly occupied by families with pre school children this meant our children didn’t...

Had an excellent massage with Maria- i had the Cretan massage and it both relieved a lot of pressure and deeply relaxed me (she had to wake me up at the end). Highly recommend. My kids also had the kids massage and loved it! They had the chocolate and strawberry massages and the spa went out of its way to accomodate my 3 kids to ensure no one was ever alone.

Very friendly, smiling, positive staff (although sometimes it seemed that they were hardly managing to do all duties, so dear managers and owners - please, value your people, they are great!!!), many options for relaxation for different ages and interests, great beach club for more active leisure (we tried skijets). Also enjoyed very much the massage in local spa (specialist was Maria). Highly recommend...

Just got home from an amazing 10 days at Candia Park Village. I don’t often write reviews but given the excellent time we had I thought I would share our thoughts. Due to TUI changing the time of our flight we arrived at two in the morning after a long journey and transfer which we booked through TUI with two children under seven, we were all exhausted. The transfer took nearly two hours. Upon arrival...

Everything about this hotel was pretty much perfect. The pool is lovely and clean with plenty of sunbeds for everyone (the hotel open the pool and give out fresh towels at 10am - which meant no reserving of sunbeds!). The beach is pretty, and safe for swimming. All staff were welcoming and friendly. Our apartment was very clean, in fact the whole resort is spotless, and incredibly pretty with flowers...

It was my first time visiting Greece and I was definitely not disappointed. The hotel really deserves 4*. The environment is large and maintained. The food did not disappoint either. There are several pools, not one or two bars. We liked the bar the most, Nagy and Popi, the bartenders working by the pool just down from the reception. Special thanks to them. Very kind and attentive to everyone. Best...

Lovely place, lovely people. Not their fault it was raining. There is no indoor pool at Cretan village, surprising as it is so large. Nowhere for people to go when the sun is not shining. Covered bar next to reception not open through the day, bit of a con having only the pool bars open when the weather is bad, Only one bus a day to Heraklion 9.15am back at 13.30pm. when you get to town, go upstairs...

Hello!! rested at the Cretan villige Beach hotel 4`stars from october 2-8.2022.Thia is my best holiday this year.The territory of the hotel is beautiful..The view of the sea is amazing.espessialy pleased with the terrace in the room!! its so great! I liked a lot,starting with the cleanness in the rooms(higth-quiality cleaning every day),The food(a lot of fish ,natural Greek products and the service...

Perfect place! Adorable design, amazing view, tasty food, nice location! Everything was comfortable, apartments were clean, the personal was very nice and friendly! We will come back for sure! 💛

Really nice place. Too many cars, too close to the road and lack of heavy investments in comfortable mattresses though.

Cozy hotel with nice historical styled rooms. Highly recommended in case you not expecting superior food or services. Suitable for quet vocation

Location is fantastic, close to the beach & a choice lovely restaurants on the beach front.

Everything! We had an amazing week at Lazar Lux Apartments. The staff was super friendly (especially to our little children), our apartment was extremely nice, the breakfast was really good, and a small problem in our room was fixed on the same day. It’s also just a short walk to a pretty nice beach which was really convenient.

View from the room is so beautiful. Rooms are clean with everythinh what You need. People who work here are helpful and always happy. Big cheers for bartenders from main bar Chris and Ilyas - they read in your mind :D One little thing to change IMO is tv in room. Small and Without netflix. But - who thinks about tv on holidays and with this view from the room 🥰

Had a lovely holiday here, there was a small error on arrival where they didn't seem to have the correct details of our party arriving and had mixed my husbands name up with a completely different family altogether. This somehow lead to us being checked into the wrong room and being told we had to move after unpacking and settling in however this was rectified relatively quickly albeit beginning to...

This year marks the 3rd time we came to Elounda residence. Year after year the wonderful people at the hotel make you feel like you're coming home. We got one of the new rooms and it was really nice, it was close to the restaurant/pool and had a beautiful view of the sea. Getting to the restaurant is just a short walk what makes for a pleasant morning stretch. The all-in formula offers a big variety...

We have got amazing new apartments with sea view. We're there with my family and the main point was to rest. Definitely enjoy my time there. We have got the all inclusive I must say the was limited however the food was really good. The animation wasn't the greatest but still fine. Overall I would recommend this hotel to families and couples definitely not a hotel for single people which looking for...

My family and I (17 of us) stayed here from 16th -23rd august and we had the most amazing holiday. We were initially quite nervous to stay after reading some of the reviews, but we had a wonderful stay. All the staff, particular the hotel mangers, reception and bar staff were all so polite and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Especially Paul and nick who were a pleasure to meet...

This Resort is incredible! me and my family visited during August and were really impressed with are accommodation. First of all the staff are extremely friendly my step sister lost her retainer that was in a napkin and they managed to find them instantly! We originally were in a different room which we didn’t order but after 2 nights the staff got it sorted and we got moved to what we payed for. The...

We stayed here again as last year was amazing. It’s bed and breakfast and the breakfasts are excellent. A lot of choice, fruit, cereal, toast, cheese and ham, cakes which are delicious and always something hot like omelettes or bacon. Lots of savoury and sweet pastries. The rooms are lovely and spacious, superior rooms have a much bigger balcony. There is a restaurant in site which is nice and roof...

Great hotel can’t do enough for you, we have just arrived back from this hotel and it is very chilled place just what you want to unwind , the food the town great quiet place. And the views are all spectacular , I suggest hire a quad to see the other towns ,

When we arrived we were shown tp our room which was like a broom cupboard with no view from yhe balcony, but how lucky the had a better room they could.offer us at an additional €40 per night, very convenient. The hotel was spotlessly clean, there was plenty of choice for breakfast, and the staff were all very friendly. It has its own small beach with a limited d number of beds, we're early risers...

We initially thought our sea-view room was pleasant but on the smaller side. However, after being given access to another room on our last day to freshen up before departure, we realised just how fortunate we had been. Housekeeping was excellent, and the hotel was spotless throughout our stay. The private beach is quite small. While sunbeds are complimentary for guests, it’s nearly impossible to...

Hotel is good, breakfast is lovely especially the Greek yoghurt and Greek honey, rooms are okay, balcony is very small. Wardrobe space is okay once you take out the iron and ironing board. Very little drawer space, I knew this before I came so bought a hanging drawer unit which worked well. Fridge, safe, Air Con, Nespresso machine, kettle and tea and coffee. I did take my own tea bags. The hotel...

Spent 2 wonderful nights at this beautiful hotel. The circumstances of our visit were a little unconventional in the sense that we were moved here due to the forest fires that were close to our original hotel. We certainly struck gold. Beautiful room. Very clean with a large comfy bed and powerful AC. The staff were very welcoming and are a credit to the hotels management. The Hotels restaurant is...

This is not a 4 star hotel - it's 3 at a push. The positive points are that it's extremely well situated in Elounda which is a lovely place for a chilled quiet week in the sun with plenty of bars and restaurants (although absolutely no nightlife if you want to go out for a dance). The staff are helpful and friendly, our room was spacious with a sea view. However my advice is don't go half board here...

We have just returned from a 10 day trip to the Elounda Orama and had a fabulous time. Our room was great, comfortable bed, great shower and very clean. The aircon was perfect after a warm day out and about. The pool does get busy but we were always able to find somewhere to sit. Breakfast had plenty of choices, hot and cold, with a very friendly chef who enjoyed explaining what traditional dishes...

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Elounda Orama. We were greeted with a warm welcome, by the super friendly reception staff. The hotel is divided into 4 blocks, so is a little confusing at the beginning, as you need to go in 3 separate lifts to get to the top block, or climb a lot of steps! We were in block C, room 3303, but were rewarded with amazing views of Mirabello Bay and...

This was our second visit to this hotel, we returned as we loved Elounda last year. This year we decided to upgrade our room to a superior room with a sea view. We finally got to the hotel at 3:30am, only to be told that our room was not ready due to a technical problem. We were given a very nice room but this was our first disappointment. Next morning we had a cold shower as there was no hot water...

The hotel was disappointing, clearly it was not ready for the season.Whilst the staff were positive the general standards let it down. Our first room had no hot water we then moved without any help to another room which had nice terrace and seaview. The loungers unfortunately were broken and took two days to get changed. The breakfast was basic no live cooking and repetitive. Hotel needs a full overhaul...

Frendly staff, helpfull all the times.. The breakfast was assome with the view marvellous. Eggs was perfect. We have had a nice and clear room. Not so big but enough. Parking up a little bit have and i think a bit small. But its ok. Wich is important was really good.

Το πρωινό πολύ καλό το δωμάτιο πολύ καλό ωραία θέα

I must say, if you're very confused whether to book this holiday due to the reviews .. I hope my review clears everything for you and the reasons why I given it 5 Stars .. so feel free to read this if it helps in anyway THE BEACH About 150 or so steps away, down hill from the hotel (and of course back up hill on the way back) is a very narrow but beautiful sandy beach. Its absolutely stunning. We...

Hotel is lovely clean and fresh! Views were amazing! Swimming pools were very small! But the food was the same buffet day after day! Not nice!

Stayed there last week of September. Very late check in (1:30AM). Best customer service ever. They knew we were coming late so they kept us a warm meal! Staff was very friendly, never had an issue. Hotel and rooms were always lovely and clean. And the sea view is to kill for!

What a fabulous 10 night stay we’ve had - from arrival (arriving late, and being offered a hot meal), to departure. The rooms were very comfortable, spacious and clean (we upgraded to a sea view, which was well worth the money). The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. Food was plentiful with a good choice each day; again the staff were very friendly, and the restaurant kept spotless. We...

Fantastic views from the hotels restaurant and many terraces.

Beautiful place but people look tired, no comunication. Unpleasant service at the reception.

Very good food, 10-15min from sea, but you can take a ride with free shuttle bus every 2 hours.

I totally recommend this place to spend your vacation! Clean, well organised with great facilities, huge breakfast and really really nice and gentle staff!

After recommendation from my Mother and Sister that were staying at the hotel in 2018, we decided to choose Elpida Village as our holiday destination this year and we had the best time! Hotel is situated in a quiet village. If you are looking for the clubs, loud music and shopping area this is not a place for you but I recommend to visit many family owned restaurants and spend some money for seafood...

Very nice hotel, kind stuff. Rooms cleaned daily properly. Food is good, when you dont need something very special. Friendly atmosphere, quiet place with no night life, which is good if you want a piecefull holidays. Two beaches in 10 and 15 mins far away. Tavernas, shops, car rental with amazing prices just under the hotel and an aphotheke in reach. Reccommending trip to Spinalonga. Over and over...

Had an amazing holiday here! We were not all inclusive and did not eat here at the hotel but the staff were amazing! The pool was lovely and was not as busy as I anticipated! Would definitely return for another relaxing week!

Just back from a few days here, it was a great trip, before we arrived I reached out to the hotel as had a few questions, Matthew kindly answered them and was very helpful. Upon arrival we were shown to our suite, the hotel had gone above and beyond with providing champagne, chocolate cake and towel swans with fresh flowers laid out for us. The suite was stunning with our own private pool which was...

First time visiting Crete and had a wonderful experience not least because of our fantastic stay at the Mirabello Bay Luxury Resort. Starting with the amazing customer care given by everyone right from the reception welcome to housekeeping and the restaurant staff. You truly feel they all aim to create the best guest experience and prioritise taking care of their guests. A special shout out needs to...

Overall a good stay. The only issues I had is that my room was next to the cleaning persons room. So it was very loud in the morning and the doors in the hallways slam shut so that woke me up several times throughout the morning. This is a kid friendly resort so there are a LOT of kids so just be mindful when booking. The beach was dirty more than likely due to the kids. The staff are all very friendly...

I stayed in this hotel for one week with my family and we had a truly enjoyable experience. The Waterpark is fantastic for children, offering lots of fun and activities. The beach is very comfortable and well equipped, perfect for relaxing. Our room was soundproof and had all the amenities we needed to feel at home. The food was excellent, with a good variety and high quality. There is no mini club...

Exceptional stay. The property was amazing with lots to places to chill and relax. The food was absolutely amazing With lots of variety in the buffet including for kids and toddlers. Perfect for a family trip. They had thought of everyway to make our stay comfortable and even gave us an upgrade to all inclusive. Highly recommend and a must visit

The rooms were spacious and clean ! The cleaning ladies and the staff were really helpful and smily. We were amazed by the sea view.

Daios cove, or as I may say a cove of dreams. My family and I stayed here during the end of July to early August and this resort is absolutely exceptional. The views of the cove are absolutely phenomenal and the sea is pristine and clear. Without a doubt, this is one of the best hotels I have stayed in, in Greece. Let’s start of with the room, we stayed in one of the villas in the resort, situated...

The ultimate hospitality experience ! Facilities, food, accommodation was exceptional ! Thanks to F&B manager Antonis and F&B assistant George our stay was simply perfect. Thank you all guys for the unforgettable memories!

This was our first time at Hotel Dayos, and our experience was very positive. The hotel has a private beach that is simply spectacular. Although the beach area isn’t very large, we always managed to find loungers available. The main pool area was crowded and it was hard to find loungers, but fortunately, we had a private pool in our room, which made a big difference. Service was a bit mixed: many...

Daios Cove is truly magical. It features a stunning private bay, a dreamy infinity pool, and food that is genuinely worth talking about—every meal was a delight. The atmosphere is relaxed yet feels special, and the views from the room are the kind that make you stop and stare. Mornings began with coffee on the balcony, and evenings concluded with a swim as the sun set. What really stood out was the...

It was our third visit to Daios Cove and I wonder each time if can be as good as the last, especially since there was a joy of discovering this superb hotel in the first place. But once again bowled over by the quality throughout. The food, the service, the drinks, location, the attention to detail - it’s all there and held together by an overall warmth of the welcome. You can tell each team member...

I stayed here few nights for a family retreat and it was amazing. I would like to point out the staff service that was exceptional!!! Special kudos to George, who stands out from all of them. Very kind and always smiley! Highly recommended!

Beautiful and unique hotel. Quiet atmosphere with the feeling of mindfulness. Lovely and attentive staff with a special touch. Very good service in every way. Good location with a short walk to the town which has nice restaurants. Our dream vacation.

My therapist was amalia and she was 1st class!. The difference from entering the spa to departing was a feeling of great relief. The entire experience was amazing

Simply beautiful. Just don’t want to leave just stay a place where all today’s troubles seem a million miles away . What do am I loving about this property… It’s simple elegance clean crisp yet set more like a traditional village than a hotel. The space beautiful grounds established shrubs so well kept. The sea crystal clear fresh so much space when you look out you feel you are on a private island...

We had lovely time we love the architecture the design of the room 25.we just would like to mention that there is no space to hang out clothes.and a more comfortable chair will be nice.overall the staff is perfect,smiling all the time giving their best.the art pieces are also interesting.

We’ve just got back from a family holiday here. I took my parents, my wife and our 8 month old son and the hotel is simply amazing. The grounds are superb and so picturesque! To walk around, it’s one of the best I’ve seen. We had a few issues with our rooms at check but Maria sorted this within minutes and did it all with a smile and made us feel at home straight away. We would absolutely come back...

We are luxury world travelers with top hotel status in Marriott and other luxury hotel chains. This hotel stands above the rest. From the friendly service. Atmosphere, rooms, delicious food etc. This resort has it all . Can simply stay inside the resort as a quiet waterfront destination or there is a wonderful town a short walk away.

This resort is absolutely magical! The views! The pools! The stellar service! We stayed in the Grand Animos Villa and it was absolutely perfect. The pool is massive and the privacy and unobstructed views meant that we rarely left the backyard. Plus, we had a private cove that offered direct access into the ocean. Fish were everywhere! The team was so helpful in planning catamaran trips as well as local...

Perfect stay at this hotel! Beautiful two bedroom villa with pool. Exceptional staff and cleaning team. Maria on the restaurant team was wonderful. Relaxed and serene ambiance throughout. We especially enjoyed the sheltered cove for swimming and snorkelling. Children spent all of their time in the sea, rather than the pools as felt so safe in the sea. Loved the jetty bar for an after dinner drink....

This is a fabulous hotel in a stunning location. We are a family of 4 with grown up kids (aged 20 & 16) so took a bit of time selecting a hotel that would suit us all and this hotel did not disappoint. We booked one of the villas with a private pool overlooking the sea which was absolutely stunning. The hotel is immaculate, the beach and swimming areas never crowded and the food consistently of a...

Great location, great service, great food. We were in this hotel to visit the Eastern part of Crete and it was fabulous. The arrival with personal greeting, a tour of the property and other nice small attentions. The swimming pools are also great, with one for sportive people different from the one for sun bathing people and some rooms with personal small pools. The half pension was great with good...

An extremely pleasant stay - great rooms, good food, very good service, lovely pools. Recent expansion has been very well done, and there was no sense that the hotel was "stretched" at all. I wanted to write because this is a repeat visit for us, and the management have obviously responded to some of the comments that have been made here and also on the hotel's own feedback. It is worth leaving a...

We had a wonderful stay earlier this month at this beautiful hotel. On arrival, we were delighted to find our suite was larger than expected, with a lovely view out to sea and great amenities. The layout of this hotel, with the infinity pool overlooking the private beach and sunbathing areas make it really special, and very easy to make the most of all options! The sunbeds are really comfortable and...

Lovely hotel, super location on the beach short walk to centre (lake) 5 mins only, supermaket outside, reasonable spa, lovely room nice decor, amazing amaneiteis - Cool Clarins bottle red color, breakfast restaruarant on 5/F overlooking the sea, infinty pool all great

Nice hotel. Very odd for 5* place to have to pay a deposit! Don't they trust their guests? Excellent breakfast.

I’m not your normal busybody who leaves reviews for anything I am however exceptionally fussy and this by far is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in having visited many hundreds of hotels over the last 40 years the room the staff the food everything was superb and the location is fantastic

It was a wonderful place with sea view all the time! The breakfast and the dinner were great!

Lovely location, just minutes walk from the centre, where lovely restaurants and bars.

Wonderful stay! Not far from the city center, the pools are nice and the staffs are friendly. Breakfast was so good and they even have live musician playing for dinner. Amazing, would definitely recommend to others! Bus station is just ten minutes away from the hotel. Very easy to get here from Agios Nikolaos station. The bus costs only 7.8€ from Héraklion city. Loved every single second of my stay

First the staff they were amazing friendly and very helpful, especial thanks to Marina, Mariana and Sofia and all reception staff

The hotel is very suitable for couples, clean and quiet. The only drawbacks are 2: 1. The rooms are old. 2. The hotel charges a fee for using the sauna.

Room for improvement Beautiful hotel, especially the main pool, the beach with the different plateaus for sun bathing and the walking path along the cliff. I loved our room and our shared pool, however our room was left to the reception area and the pool bar- some nights music was extremely loud and guest were extremely loud (if I wanted party vacation I would go to Mallorca/Ibiza) A door that keeps...

We’ve spent our honeymoon in Minos. We had junior suite with private pool, waking up every morning to a sunrise😍 hotel has impressive views from basically anywhere you stand. Few highlights- Yoga classes at sunset, breakfast with sea view, plenty semi-private spaces with deckchairs overlooking the sea, herb gardens, amazing sunrises and sunsets. Only good things to say, thank you, especially for our...

Minos palace is a little paradise. It is my second time here and I will definitely come back. The views from the hotel are stunning. The renovated rooms are fabulous (be sure to book a renovated one, because the old ones are not nice. I was told that they will renovate all rooms in the future). I love the little beach. The size of the hotel is perfect, not so many people and you feel that you have...

Amazing hotel if you want to feel in paradise! We stayed at one of the infinity blue rooms.. and the views were perfect! The staff at the hotel was very kind and I want to mention especially Marina from the guest relations team, as she helped to organise a wedding proposal in the best spot of the hotel with views to the Mirabello bay! She also helped getting a photographer to record thus memorable...

First off it's not 5stars it's a 4 star hotel go with this in mind and you'll be fine. Food in the Italian restaurant was great. Food in the buffet restaurant was excellent even for a fussy eater always some thing to eat. 12 euro taxi each way to the town or the bus 10 past the hour outside the hotel 2 euros each way. Hotel perfect where it is no noise at night. Don't plan to stay by the pool as you...

Amazing hotel. Has its own beach, spa and multiple pools. Room was really big with an amazing view. People are super friendly, very good service. Buffet was really yummy and many options. Overall really good, definitely recommend. Would absolutely come back

All went very smooth from the beginning to the last minute. Very good variety of food and drinks. Staff very friendly. Sea view family room with amazing views. There are no queues for the drinks and food even hotel is fully booked. Amazing location with amazing and hard working peoples. All the best and see you next time!!!

Visited last month with my 5 year old. Lovely experience. Very friendly and attentive staff. We had breathtaking room with a private pool (both were cleaned every morning). The cleanliness of this hotel was of a high standard. The food was OK, many varieties included. The overlooking view of the sea/sunset is beautiful. The hotel itself is quite isolated, so you would need some sort to transport...

Visited the Blue Marine with friends in early June. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the bedrooms spacious with more than enough room for 3 adults. The food in the international Buffett was second to none - a wide range of choices with a differing theme daily - the food was replenished often and not sat for lengthy periods of time. The pool area is fantastic, plenty of sun beds and the hotel draws...

Overall a nice hotel however - No battery in the remote for the fan in our room, which randomly turned its self on at 2am meaning we had to go to reception to get a battery/spare remote We ate lunch in the grill which we booked via the hotel app, this was very disappointing, not only was my partners chicken pink inside, but the waitress started to clear all the salad and extras away when we hadn...
