Kapsaliana Village Hotel

Kapsaliana Village Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The most picturesque hotel! The grounds are beautiful. The pool area is really relaxing, perfect for a late afternoon dip after being out exploring or at the beach. The staff were all really lovely and helpful too. Breakfast is one the biggest perks. A huge range of options with some really delicious traditional options. We stayed in the Aquila suite which was situated right at the other end of the compound where there is only one other room. This was great for us as it was really private! The majority of the rooms are either near the pool area, or to the east of the restaurant. We also had dinner at the restaurant one of the nights and can confirm it was delicious and very fresh ingredients. The only ‘con’ I would say is it is quite remote. This hotel would be perfect for people who are either looking to stay at the hotel for the majority of the day, or don’t mind doing 1+ hour car trips. It’s 1.5 hours to Chania or Heraklion, 1 hour to the beaches in the south, and 2+ hours to Agios Nikolaos. We found being in the car so much had a negative impact on our holiday overall. However, highly recommend going to Rethymno old town! Roughly 30 mins from the hotel, and some great restaurants and shops. Overall it’s a beautiful hotel, and if you don’t mind the remoteness/driving quite a bit then we would highly recommend!"

"Rooms were large and clean. The staff were great and did all they could to make our stay memorable. The pool was great and the food was excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner were all very well done. The only caveat to that was the Tomatini restaurant which to our surprise was a little disappointing. This part of the island flies under the radar and is an absolute gem."
