We recently stayed at this hotel and had a truly enjoyable experience. The property is beautiful, with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces, all of which were very clean and well maintained.
We also visited the spa, which was excellent, and received a great massage from Katerina. The staff throughout the hotel were consistently polite, attentive, and welcoming, which made us feel very comfortable during our stay.
We were kindly offered a complimentary upgrade to a swim-up room, which was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our holiday.
The food was overall good, though we would have appreciated a bit more variety, as some dishes were not as flavorful as others.
The beach is located about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, which we were aware of beforehand, so it was not an issue for us.
Overall, this hotel provided us with a wonderful and relaxing stay, and we would be happy to return and recommend it to others.

Not our first or will it be our last stay in this wonderful hotel. Staff are simply outstanding, efficient and nothing is too much trouble. The whole place is spotlessly clean and immaculate. Food is plentiful and off many varieties, something for everyone. Short 10 minute walk into town which is on the quiet side but great if you want a chilled and relaxing holiday. YAMAS!

Very nice looking hotel. Rooms are clean and ours in particular was just about right. In the corner of the complex away from the hustle. Lovely private pool and outdoor area for relaxing. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I needed assistance on a few occasions and the guest service manager was very helpful in rectifying my issues promptly. We had all inclusive, the food in general was ok, sometimes a little too salty or oily. There are some nice restaurants and bars within a 10-15 minute walk, with the sea front another 10 minutes on top of that. We had a lovely stay.

First of all, this is absolutely nuts and makes me doubt the reliability of the reviews on this site, given how many people rated it 5/5. Especially as it's definitely not the cheapest option out there. - The hotel room is tiny and quite outdated. - The toilet is so close to the wall that you have to sit sideways to fit. - Soundproofing is non-existent — you will hear people waking up early for breakfast, chatting as they pass right in front of your door. - There is no drinking tap water, and surprisingly, the “all-inclusive” package does not include bottled water. You have to pay €2 per liter, which is absurd. - Some rooms are interconnected with those of random strangers via a thin connecting door, which leaks every whisper and movement from your neighbor. - The food in the canteen is terrible. The meat is of poor quality, and everything is heavily oversalted — as if it had been dipped in the sea several times before serving. - Planes take off directly overhead, and despite closed windows and doors, you will hear every single one clearly.

Me and my friend picked this hotel for our 10 day stay in Crete. We arrived in the night and got given a disabled room, which is not what we paid for nor requested. We requested to move next day but were told the hotel is fully booked and we have to wait two days for normal room to become available. After those two days we got moved, the room was just like the pictures showed when we booked and we were satisfied. The interior of the rooms and hotel is very nice, spacious and modern. We had half board package, the breakfast was a standard breakfast buffet and the dinner was okay, nothing special they had Greek dishes on some days but not all. Location of the hotel is good, away from the party & touristy areas, the beach is a short 10mins walk. Staff working there were friendly and helpful.

I booked a thirty minute back, neck and shoulder massage with Silvana for 60 euros. The ambiance in the room was calm and peaceful. I felt very comfortable and relaxed. Silvana did an amazing job. I felt every muscle and bone pop which was painful in a good way. She also massaged my hands and arms and that was very good as well. Afterwords I felt less tense and very relaxed. 10/10 recommend!

The place was lovely and well maintained we had a swim up room (highly recommend) the hotel provides fresh towels on a daily basis, you just go to the spa and replace them. At the swim up pool there is water with fruit and a zingy lemon drink which is free 😊 we only went half board but the shops are 5 mins walk and you have a mini fridge in the room so we bought water, coke and lager and loads of layz 😂 The rooms were cleaned daily if you wanted this, we did as coming in and out of the water the floor got dirty. Food was lovely but buffet so the same however there is 2 restaurants either side of the hotel and you are only 15 mins walk to the sea front. The staff were all lovely, Nena in the restaurant was gorgeous, we would definitely go again!! 😍
03.08.2025
Silvana was absolutely amazing. Me & my sister in law came for a 30min neck & back massage with a complementary 15min additional massage which we opted for legs. Silvana was extremely friendly and made sure all my needs were met before finishing. I would 100% recommend Silvana to others. Thank you once again :)

We had a wonderful stay at the Aelius Hotel and Spa. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile, especially Nena who was full of life and so upbeat and made sure we had everything we needed so that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Vasiliki the barmaid, was fantastic! She was quick, efficient, and made the best drinks. She remembered everyone and kept the atmosphere lively and fun. She was a real pleasure to be around. Infact all the staff were exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond to meet our needs. The hospitality we received was exceptional. Buffet options were excellent with lots of choice, i particularly enjoyed the salad bar with lots of fresh produce and loads to choose from. The hotel is located about a 15 minute walk from the beach but the hotel offers a frequent shuttle service to and from the beach. 3 Stunning pools with lots of sun beds. We were able to do a few day trips whilst on the island with pick up from the hotel. This hotel is exquisite. Elegantly decorated. I highly recommend it. Our visit to this hotel was very enjoyable
