"The staff service is amazing. The hotel is beautiful. The room is okay. The food isn't tasty."

Zeus Eleva Mirabello Bay

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent hotel that offers a bit of everything: wonderful pools, a stunning beach, great food, superb hospitality, and a location right next to Agios Nikolaos. Truly a vacation that is an extraordinary experience."

Daios Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing setting, great food in every restaurant that was Michelin quality and exceptional service"

InterContinental Crete by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located in the center. Very nice breakfast . One of the three elevators was not functioning causing overcrowding and long waits."

Ella Rocrita

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely situation and great room with access to a swim-up pool. Food was good too"

St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel and Villas was an amazing property. My husband, adult son and myself loved this resort. It was secluded, well kept and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed our suite which was quite spacious, swimming in the bay, using the well equipped and clean gym as well as visiting each of the restaurants. Wonderful Stay- Can't wait until we can visit again!"

Minos Palace Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Modern design on a beautiful point. 270 degrees of ocean views. The hotel was full, but the layout offered us a lot of personal space and privacy. The staff were wonderful. For me & every tourists nightmare - I lost my passport on the plane. The concierge, Mariana, knew how stressful this was and was on the phone to the airline, the airport, and the police for us right away. She found it for me. Just incredible. Thank you, and thanks to the airport staff and police for being well prepared for these events."

Elounda Palm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place, pool/bar area amazing, chilled and beds always available. Bit of a trek to Elounda but otherwise perfect"

INNSiDE by Meliá Crete Elounda

8/10 Good

"Plenty of helpful and friendly staff. The room was cleaned to a high standard and well stocked and organised. The hair dryer and steamer were high quality. The pool area is beautifully decorated. Loungers are limited and fully taken by 1130. The DJ and saxophone artists were excellent. Breakfast buffet has good selection and was fresh and good quality. Coffee machine rather than espresso machine with barista but acceptable. The Al a carte restaurant was disappointing. The service was fine but the food was very basic and Salty."
