Apartment Hotels in Kato Gouves

Good food, friendly woman at the reception, nice but small pool, renovated and clean rooms

One of the best hotel for vacation we’ve ever visited. We expected average hotel, but to our surprise we experienced best vacation ever thanks to Blue Aegean hospitality. Hotel staff was honestly friendly and welcoming. They treat you as their friend and help you with everything you need like tips for trip or helped us with mosquito problems also gave us snacks for our trip back to Czech. They just...

Our favourite holiday destination. Top rate Hotel & Staff. We'll be back..

Great location-100m to the beach. Good food and entertainment. Staff ate lovely too.

Extremely polite stuff , very friendly team. Food everyday was different and delicious, dish for everyone . Most likely Family place , entertainment every night, cleanliness of rooms no different like most hotels. Pool not so big but nice beaches walking distance which you have to pay for sunbeds.Bus stop to any city 10 min walk and trust me everyone is very nice and willing to help. Love Crete:)

This hotel was basic and cheap, which is great if that’s all you want. However, the food was not great; there wasn’t a big choice, the chef clearly can’t cook eggs (the omelette and scrambled eggs were SO rubbery) the salad bits were nice though. The room I had was ok, but the bathroom door didn’t close properly, the bed was very lumpy, I had to pay €10 for a kettle for my sleep apnoea device.. but...

We arrived quite late and we were greeted by friendly staff and showed us to our rooms. The rooms were typical Grecian, basic but clean. Our room was located on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the large pool. We had a double bed, single bed, kitchen area, wardrobe and desk. We had dinner saved for us in the fridge with bottled water. The weather was typically 26oc, never an issue getting...

Excellent hotel!!! Friendly staff, very varied and tasty food, clean and in our opinion corresponds to 5 stars!! Special thanks to Carlos (animator) - very funny and professional in his field 👍 The girls at the reception are smart in everything 🤗 The chef of the restaurant is brilliantly talented in preparing dishes. Natalia the waiter is very kind and friendly. We recommend it to everyone and will...

Simply spectacular, 100% worth the stay in such a wonderful, family-friendly place. There's a bus from the airport to the hotel door, basically. I'd like to congratulate the two Spanish staff members for their great service and friendliness at all times, and the hotel in general. Thank you very much. I'll be back!

Attended 12-26th July 2024. We have just arrived home from a fantastic 2 weeks at Lyda. We booked this holiday for my daughter’s 18th birthday and can honestly say we have loved it. We went as a family of 4, myself, wife, daughter and our son aged 12. We all had a great time. The rooms are basic and the beds are very but had no issues. The drains in the bathroom are connected from toilet, sink and...

Visited some friends who were staying atvthese apartments. They were delighted with the refurbishment of the rooms and facilities from last year. Everything looked fresh and new. Had dinner with them there at the lovely restaurant on the sea front. The staff were amazing, very friendly and attentive. Food and drink were well-priced. Would highly recommend this place.

I've just returned from the most peaceful relaxing & refreshing 7 days at these apartments. The location is right on the seafront. The sunsets are amazing. 5 minutes walking to lovely shops, supermarkets, bars, tavernas & nightlife if you wish to boogie. The apartments provide facilities for cooking. Hower I took advantage of the food on offer at breakfast & dinner. I was quite happy with the choices...

We had a great time on Crete.The hotel staff was good especially the waiter Michailis?Close to the beach however the hotel is old .

Excellent service and excellent value for money. Food is very good and plenty of it. Staff are all very and helpful. We love it.

Our first time in Crete and we stayed at Kaissa Beach . Very nice for kids ,helpful and friendly staff ,plenty oft space for sunbathing round the pool , and good prices for cocktails at nicht .Definitely coming back .Big thanks to everyone for avery happy holiday in Gouves .See you soon .

All is great. Very friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Clean rooms. Great patio.

Really nice, clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful, we ended up here for a few nights when our original hotel had problems with our room. We would definitely stay here when we visit again

Very nice territory, a lot of green plants. Quite. Super friendly service. Nice breakfast. Big clean rooms. Cozy patio in each apartment. No mosquito nets.

Its quite more than 1 swimming pool 1 wich is inside warm water i 1 of the pool was outside my room wich was lovely i did enjoy

The hotel is great. The rooms are cleaned, the pool water is also always clean. The breakfast consists of local products(lots of sweet stuff). Anna is a wonderful host. She is always happy to help you and tries to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

George is a great host. We made a misstake booking and arrived a day too late. This was no issue and we didn't have to pay extra

quiet and peaceful environment. lovely staff Clean Aesthetically pleasing

Fantastic place ! And John is a great host .! Thank for the experience mate

One of the best places to stay in the area! Amazing hospitality. The renovation really made a difference!

Amazing boutique hotel, newly renovated suites and dedicated staff! Recommended to all!

You really get looked after here by the family and they will make your stay extra special. The apartment are modern, fresh and new. Pool area is a good size and gets the sun all day. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Crete.

Staying at the Elea Suites the past week was such a nice break from reality. The perfect weather combined with a large, clean pool made for some lazy, relaxing days... aka a key ingredient for a holiday. The best part of staying here is that you are staying at a genuinely well-run family hotel. The family is involved from the first minute of taking care of you, getting to know how they can help you...

Nothing but praise! These apartments are kept spotlessly clean. Pool is lovely. Food and drinks available during the day. Don't come here for a banging disco every night. So peaceful but the family make you feel like you are part of the place. Bars and restaurants close by. Beach 10 min walk. Shops for all you need for S/C nearby. And did I mention the family?! Special mention too for Anoushka who...

Really beautiful hotel! There are old and new rooms, so better book the new rooms! Food ist absolute delicious and changes every day. Sandy beach near, just down the street, everyone friendly and good animation!

Booked this last minute due to covid...was not disappointed. All the staff are so friendly and the place is spotless. Food very good and varied. Four lovely pools. Would definitely recommend and return.

Food excellente, room is nice and clean :)

Really perfect, the staff are really really good. The hotel is chill and everybody are cool. Real thanks for all the staff for her kindness !

A place where you feel good. Clean, hospitable, proper and varied food. An adapted situation with a diverse offer of leisure activities in the vicinity, a public transport stop nearby, which allowed us to travel autonomously.

Nice and clean. The food is very good. The staff is very friendly and hospitable. The staff worked really hard as changes were made due to covid 19. They did a great job. Entertainment is again limited, but very interesting. Animators Clemence and Florin really helped to spend the holiday.

Rooms were good and clean. Staff were friendly. Only let down was the missing ac control.

Friendly clean and addictive. Been going 18yrs and and never been disappointed. Its home in the sun

Last night tonight gutted to be going home. Weather been fantastic as has Andreas Apartments. Food is great and all homemade. Minas and Manya can't do enough for you.. Back next year with bells on.

Really Great place. Family run and will do anything to make your stay welcome. A fantastic snack bar with the best homemade chips. Great cocktails and they generate an atmosphere that makes, not only residents, but non residents want to spend the evening there. Watch out though, it can get very messy and very late before that bar closes! Will definitely return!

Returned to Andreas after a long absence, and it was just as wonderful as I remembered! A really welcoming environment, the atmosphere was fantastic. It's only a short walk from the beach, and there's plenty of restaurants and shops around. The area's lovely and quiet, and if you want something a bit busier, Heraklion is only a 15 minute car ride. The rooms are self-catering, but perfectly equipped...

We had one night at Michalianna Suites and it was perfect. The apartment was perfectly clean!

Very clean and tidy apartment.it's really luxurious and comfortable. close the sea.Therr are many shops restaurant and bars near michalianna suites.The loft overlooks the sea.The hosts are very friendly with great hospitality.

Very beautiful place, cozy and comfortable rooms, excellent service and accommodation highly recommended.

Michalianna suites is thea best choice! They are really nea and fabulous close to bars, restaurants, shops and of course 3 minutes away from the beach.. The guests are really pleasured.. There are many activities and sights close to apartments.. We enjoyed our holidays..

Perfect place for vacations. We really enjoyed ourselves. We will return for sure.

The hotel is really clean, as is the pool and bar area. The owner is great, he is really relaxed and asks nothing of you other than if you're enjoying your stay, he is very attentive to anything you need too. The location is great, it is less than two minutes from the beach, restaurants, shops etc and is still nice an quiet. I cannot recommend this hotel enough, and cannot fault it in any way.

Great stay and owner was so friendly and helpful couldn't have done more for us. Also very clean and the cleaner was there every day with regular changing of bedding and fresh towels. Great location also for beach and restaurants. Had a great holiday and kids loved the pool which was also very clean

Great location, you can get the sea view on the upper floor. Christina working there is a delightful woman. Parking is available in front. The owner is also very responsive and kind. It is pet friendly, cute little pool, spotless apartments. Good showers with glass and not a plastic curtain. We had a great time there… and super quiet.

Lovely place clean and great location! The hoast is very kind and helpful! I would love to visit the again 😊

A wonderful experience..only stayed 1 night in room 9 ...would of happily stayed for 14 nights as the well equipped 2 bed duplex with 2 bathrooms is completely as described..a true gem of a place ..lovely pool area ,a short flat walk to the village and beach ..if one is looking for self catering accommodation in this area looks no further .😎

Excellent accommodation. Cosy, comfortable, very good environment. Close by the beach, with plenty of delicious traditional taverns and souvenir shops to visit, also near to an aquarium worth seeing and water park. Kristina is a lovely host , very friendly and took care of everything, taking care of us like we are family. Will definitely miss her. A fantastic holiday experience and we are looking forward...

Spacious and clean appartments for those which are looking for peace and relax while on holiday. The caretaker do not hesitate to go extra mile to deliver perfect experience. Very nice tavernas in walking distance, ten minutes walk to beach, good approach to attractions in eastern crete (gorges hikes, aquacenters, knossos etc.)

good, basic apartments with separate bedroom. A/C only in the bedroom. Good sunset view. The pool is better than it looks on the property's pictures. The place is only convenient for 1-2 nights because of the proximity to the airport. Otherwise, the sourrounding is a dated tourist place that might be loud at night (close-by are adult-only resorts, where adults seem to need loud life music by terrible...

At the moment it is already called Elia Hotel Apartments. Rooms a'la late Gierek. Clean but a bit run down. With a little work and money, it could be much better. There are quite a few shortcomings even at this price. Nevertheless, the service is friendly, the food is not great, but you can eat it, the swimming pool in the pictures seemed much bigger (as it is in the pictures), but it is there and...

Excellent hotel. Now called Elia Apartments. The price initially makes it clear that this is not a luxury class, but three stars, and even for three stars the price is low, so the price-quality ratio exceeded expectations. We were very worried about the negative reviews, but everything turned out fine on the spot. We arrived late, dinner was already over, the hostess was very friendly, fed and watered...

The room was noisy, e.k. the windows were on the road. Everything else corresponds to the cost (interior, state of mind, Territory, distance from the sea). I liked the breakfast, in the village it is unlikely that there will be cheaper and denser. Found better, but more expensive.

We had a lovely week at Anthoula Village. We found the whole complex very clean and also the room was spotless. The room was large with a balcony. The pool was very good and quite quiet while we were there, which was good for me. We cannot fault the staff who were very helpful. The chef Demetrios served excellent food each day and was very attentive. There was plenty of choice with something different...

Our family recently stayed at Anthoula Village, and we were especially impressed with the receptionist, Osra. She was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the check-in process easy and stress-free for all of us. Throughout our stay, she was always ready to help with a smile, offering great suggestions and ensuring we had everything we needed. Her warmth and helpfulness truly made our family trip even...

We traveled with 2 adults and 2. children. The family-run hotel is very lovingly designed, has a very good location and is not too oversized or overcrowded. The chef goes to great lengths to introduce you to the local cuisine and surpasses himself every time. The people who work there are extremely friendly and helpful! They try to make sure the guests have a good time. The beach is not far away. You...

We kind of had a rough start at this hotel. When we arrived, the manager told us that we had won the hotel‘s lottery and were now upgraded to an all inclusive holiday over at their partner hotel which, supposedly, was better suited for young people, had a water park, a disco and was just overall better. The manager set up an agreement form regarding the compensations, however, she wrote down extremely...

The hotel is located in a god location for the beach and local restaurants. The apartments are spacious and clean. Pool area is lovely but limited sun beds however this did not cause a problem for us. We were on the all inclusive package. The food was tasty. However the drinks included were very limited. Descriptions when booking stating local spirits.. which they were.. the only spirits on offer...

Very nice rooms and very nice people, the food was really good and a lot of variety. The staf was very nice and helpful, especially Manos. Real good weather and a really good stay is a good start of a vacation. We recommend Anthoula Village Hotel for people who love to stay at a nice hotel with very nice people who love there jobs.

Housing, pool, mini gym, restaurant, beach, all at one place. Very good food.

A place which offers a lot of bang for the buck. It has convenient and furnished rooms, some of them with a sea view. Directly in front of the hotel there's a sandy beach with a gentle slope, pleasant for swimming. We can wholeheartedly recommend booking a half board: it includes a filling English/continental breakfast with instant coffee/tea and a-la-carte dinner priced up to appx. 10 euro, plus a...

Nice place to relax. Very close to a reasonable priced beach supermarket. Also toilets are nearby in the restaurant.

Great place, hospitable welcome. Spacious apartment, fresh bread and try fresh fruit salad too! across the street; the beds and umbrella are ready for you (included with the booking!) Many nice restaurants in the area and also the local brewery (@barbantonis) has perfect special beer

In my opinion one of the best places in the area. Serving sizes are large, the food is really tasty, and not just to fill the stomach. The pizza is quite large, the schnitzel is simply amazing. I highly recommend it because for his vacation he got burned on many positive reviews.

Perfect! Beautiful apartment on the sea. Recommended to everyone!

Very pleasant and the food is great CRETE cuisine

Spotlessly clean, very friendly helpful staff, would definitely return. Sun set view front of hotel beautiful.

This is a great hotel which is accompanied by an amazing restaurant.

Stayed at the Golden Bay with my family in August . Could not fault the apartments. The staff were very friendly and helpful

An excellent hotel with very comfortable updated rooms The staff are very friendly and helpful and the taverna prices very reasonable.

Great rooms, very friendly staff and so close to the sea. Taverna has lovely homemade food for evening meals...and reasonable too. Was so lovely to sit and hear the waves lapping against the sea wall. Would highly recommend to anyone. Quiet town, just what we wanted, but great public bus service to more lively Stalida and Malia too.

The owner Georgio is amazing. Thank you

Great place, affordable and close to the coast, with a bus stop right in front and small markets close by. The aquarium is great, and you can go walking by the coast.

Lovely place and an amazing host with the most Georgio (think that's how you spell his name) we stayed in the apartment and have absolutely loved our stay. Rooms cleaned spotlessly and grounds well kept. His food is lovely, Greek salad to die for and if you're lucky and ask in advance he will cook almost anything for you all home made (we had rabbit 10 out of 10). It's a great relaxing place with shutters...

Very nice hotel, quiet, graphic, clean, and helpful stuff. Oleg was great and helped us out a lot... See you soon!!

Quiet small hotel across the road from the sea. Without any frills, for a relaxing family holiday. The sea is shallow, but wavy. The rooms have a kitchen with the necessary minimum of dishes. There are not enough sockets, including in the kitchen, on the kettle and electric tile one outlet. Entertainment, except for the sea and a couple of bars with cocktails / hookahs, there are no any.

Trust no one, 10/10, Oleg is the manager, a really great person, he knows everything, he will tell you everything, peace and quiet reigns in the hotel, in the mornings they play Soviet cartoons for children, no drunken cattle, the whole hotel, as if on command, falls asleep somewhere in 11, in general, beauty, if you want a quiet retirement holiday, then this is your option: D the hotel is excellent...

Small hotel, ideal for family with children. I like it.

Nice hotel with restaurant attached stayed for 2 weeks . Very attentive staff. Bar open until the last customer goes. Very nice apartments , with a relaxed atmosphere. Not much in the area. But a fantastic bus route that takes you to malia and the other way herkalion.

Simple rooms with a small kitchen and bathroom, nothing special but perfect and as expected. Amazing family run business, all the staff are great and will go out of their way to make your stay better. The restaurant is also the best in Kokomo Hani by far, the food is top notch, even the homemade raki they serve you is the best you’ll come across. Only a 3 or so minute walk from the beach and a supermarket...

Wow. What a great experience. Was not expecting that since the hotel was so cheap but the staff was absolutely amazing. They greeted me by name everyday. Helped me with whatever I needed. The restaurant there is sooooo delicious too. Must try the pizza🤤 the room was huge and comfortable with a nice balcony. Pool was so clean. If you have a car, there is plenty of parking on the street (it’s safe),...

Everything is great here! The apartment is a great size, facilities good, access to washing facilities, very clean, excellent housekeeping, very friendly and helpful staff, location is great (outside but close to tourist area), lovely views of countryside, access to amenities… plus restaurant on site, where vegetables and salads come from their own garden!! We’ll definitely come back :-)

I have rated the Ideal Hotel with 5 stars throughout, it is not a 5 star hotel, it is a self-catering apartment hotel, but for what it is it deserves the high ratings. It is family run, one brother George works the bar and Taverna in the evenings, another brother is the Chef, and the third brother works the bar in the morning and afternoon. There is a huge garden next to the hotel and every morning...

Ideal apartments are fantastic,5 minutes to the beach, and the food at Ideal is fabulous, and all the staff make you welcome.

This place is family run by some wonderful people. They were a joy to interact with. The pool was nice and clean. It's budget friendly which is a blessing when traveling with a strict budget. I would definitely stay here again.

Very clean and very friendly staff!!! Suggested to everyone!!!

It's a very nice place but the 'self catering rooms' only have weak hobs that take around 1-2 hours just to cook chicken. The owners are also not very nice and are very unorganized with most of their stuff. The food is overpriced too but overall the place is very nice with the brilliant view and nice rooms.

Great welcoming, great staying, sad to leave without being able to say goodbye. The structure, beautiful and tidy, is lead by a family, and the very friendly and easy going attitude really helps to create a relaxed atmosphere. Only 20 minutes by foot from the see. I recommend it now, because I know that in the future it can only get better.

Fantastic stay at the Kreta Natur Apartments. Room was lovely and the manager was very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay again in the future!

The place is very clean and staff are lovely. The area is a bit of a mix as it is dominated by large enclosed hotel complexes. So there aren't many restaurants or shops but the couple of restaurants we did find were excellent.

Kreta Nature is an absolute gem. George and Maria, the owners, redefine hospitality—treating every guest like family. Their warmth and care make every stay feel like a home away from home. Having visited now five times, including our honeymoon, speaks volumes about the experience they offer. The incredible service doesn't end there—the barman, Albert, Stephan, and Bill add another layer of excellence...

Great hotel option with small apartments. Excellent price/quality relation. The owner and the workers are very welcoming.

views service from George and all the staff quite close to everything

Loved Driades ...was very relaxed atmosphere ..gorgeous pool ..fantastic views...a good selection of food and drink ...George was very welcoming and helpful ...will definitely return to Driades ...only a few minutes walk down to local bars shops and restaurants.

Fantastic! Couldn’t ask for anything better. The apartments are very clean and tidy, classic Greek white houses, and all of the apartments have a balcony overlooking Chersonisos bay with a sea view. Kalimera village is located in Piskopiano a small village above the busy chersonisos, where you find lovely traditional restaurants and nice local shops( they also have a private parking, which is a must...

Clean, cute and simple apartments. We felt very welcome by Kostas, who is doing everything there. From breakfast to check in to cocktails, etc. :) The service is great and Piskopiano is also a cute little village where you get everything. Supermarket is very close by and the restaurants were all pretty good :) When we will come back to Crete, this will be our destination for sure. Thanks again!

We loved the fact that our apartment was in a nice location with a beautiful view. It was in a more village-style area, which we appreciated because we were not right in the midst of the loud, busy city area of the town.The apartment was not only very comfortable and spacious, but it also had an authentic, Greek style to complete the full Greek experience. In addition, everyone was so kind and friendly...

5 Stars - would like to give more ;) in Summer 2o15 we spend two weeks at Kalimera Village... Even today we're talking about this great place and it's nice hosts. Thanks a lot for everything. The Room, the private pool, the tiny restaurant, the whole atmosphere, the Greek Feeling was unforgettable. I hope to find a chance to come back. btw, we enjoyed the whole island of Crete very much.

Loved this place! Looked like it was from a set from a movie. Great view of the water. Pretty private pool. Walking distance from restaurant and shops. But beware, the walk back up to the hotel is a steep one.

Some staff lovely, although I think it’s the boss, bald guy who sits in the bar, very rude, shouted at my 19 yr old son. Rooms basic, towel and bedding changed once in a week. Pool small, beds can be hard to get as there’s about 20. Air con is ok in the bedroom but not downstairs. No wifi in rooms Grounds well kept. Bathroom not the best, handheld shower with no curtain. The hill is BIG, had...

My sister and I just got back from Crete, and we would highly recommend staying here. We wanted a break where we could just lay by a pool, relax and go out for nice meals. Dia apartments was the perfect choice for us. 1. The pool area is fab - plenty of sunbeds so we never had trouble finding space. The playlist which was on throughout our stay was excellent (thank you for sharing with us as it'll...

fantastic apartments to stay in, this is my 2nd time staying here and I cannot fault it! the staff are all so lovely and Angela is just the best! always so welcoming, friendly and would highly reccommend staying here.

Really loved the place. The staff were great. The apartments inside are a little dated but were perfect for our needs. Perfect location for us too. Out of the way of the busy area which was perfect for us. If I was to go back to Crete and that location I'd definitely go back to these apartments.

Beautiful surroundings & the perfect base for exploring the eastern side of Crete. I spent a week here as a solo trip exploring the history & culture of the island - a nice bit of solitude after a busy period at work. The grounds are impeccably well maintained, reflecting the pride the owners take in this place. I was staying in a 1st floor split level maisonette with charming wooden ceiling & wonderful...

The apartments are smaller than they look in the photos. The beds feel a bit rickety, I certainly wouldn't trust them with an evening of passion. The only place to sit was the chair at the table, or the single bed in the living area. The stairs didn't feel safe at all. It's self catering but they don't even provide a dustpan and brush, which would be useful. They do come and empty the bins every day...

Very nice place. Good for kids too. Nice people working here. Super clean big rooms. Feels more like a 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐. Quite and nice view Rekommenderar :)

I've been staying here for two days now and its pretty ok, i complaint i have though, is the fact that in order to turn on the AC, you have to pay the ridiculous price of 45€. We chose not to pay this, and therefore the room is very hot at all times. The pool isnt very big, but with the limited amount of guests, the space is pretty ok. The view from our room is also very nice, so overall a very quiet...

Nice and clean hotel. Cosy pool area surrounded by palms. Staff is friendly and helpfull.

Great place. Sweet people and staff. I recommend to come before or after July, June & August for a quiet time, otherwise there will be a lot of noise etc because of students and young people.

This hotel is just amazing. The staff are friendly and makes it easy to see that they focus on the guests. It may be a budget hotel, but you definitely get more service than you pay for. The night staff Nagi is an amazing person and really do care for all the guests. This will be the hotel I will stay at when I return.
