Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Kokkini Hani

Loved our room with private pool, very comfy pool bed to use during the day. Staff were very friendly. Yummy breakfast options with range of snacks to purchase during the day. Walking distance to large supermarket and restaurants near by.

This was an amazing experience. The hotel is soooo cool. Adults only. Private pool. Shared Pool. Jacuzzi. 5 min walk from the beach and the staff will do anything to make your stay perfect. 15 min from the airport,

The room was very large and well equipped. The private pool in the room was fantastic. The check-in and check-out process went smoothly. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The cats were very cute.

Very friendly staff. Lovely private pool.

Beautiful hotel in great location! We enjoyed the private pool, and cabana. Room very comfortable , delicious breakfast each morning with lots of variety Staff very friendly and helpful Large pool with plenty of lounge chairs and comfortable cabanas Lots of parking Easy access to bus to City centre right in front of hotel Short walk to beautiful beach! We loved everything

Amazing resort, clean, food was good and also the staff are really friendly. Special thanks to Demetrius who worked at the pool bar. Amazing guy and really made us feel welcome. We also got Upgraded to a suite with private pool which was nice. Definitely recommend it!

Beautiful hotel, very nice area with pools & restaurants/bars, direct access to the beach. Sports options and nice food for all family members throughout the day. The private pool felt very luxurious and we loved that you could always find a free sunbed or quiet place for relaxing.

property was clean , and comfortable, it has coffe machine and microwave and other useful things they have family rooms with private pool.

We were upgraded free of charge to room with private pool

Superb service - Really did the best to match our needs + The hotel is brand new, So all facilities are in in excellent condition, plus - everything is spotless clea + Amazing room -We got upgraded to a room with a private pool + Excellent food, in all 3 restaurants (We didn't eat at the grill bar). The variety and food qualify will meet everyone's taste.. + Recently opened amusement park & mini-golf court provided a lot of joy to our 2 years old child.

I was in the room with the private pool which was great, the staff was really helping of course the famous Dimitria that brought us fruit and white for my birthday :) the staff in the kitchen was very helpful as well and overall experience was very welcoming and also many sweet cats!

The location is greate. The room with the private pool is amazing. The all inclusive is good (include drinks and good food every meal

Junior Suite with private pool was amazing and the room was spacious. Lunch and dinner included in our all inclusive was really good. Cleaning of the room was efficient and quick with minimal disturbances. The hotel is not too far from attractions and events.

The room with the private pool was exceptional - we've had the most relaxing holiday in a while. I 100% recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place where to switch off completely from work/life stress. The food was overall very good and although the vegetarian options were sometimes limited, the staff was more than happy to help us out with alternatives - that was incredibly appreciated! The overall atmosphere was great and it felt very inclusive - adult families, couples, and even solo travellers.

We booked 2 x private pool suites between a group of 4 of us. Both rooms were stunning. We unfortunately had a slight issue in one of the rooms which resulted in us being moved, but the staff were excellent and very helpful with the room switch. The hotel manager came to us personally and offered us late check out for free as a good will gesture, as we had a late night flight. We would 100% book this hotel again.

The location was close to the airport and port to take ferry, and only 45 minutes from Agios Nichols. The staff, especially Manios at the front desk, was superb. The meals and drinks were plentiful with many unique choices. Lots of fresh fruit, all types of dishes, l many sesserts, etc. We had all you can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner and free drinks until 11pm. Bar at the pool. There was a little pool for small kids and a larger pool for others. There were hammocks throughout the property and many chairs to sunbathe on. From the property, you could easily walk to other restaurants, towards the bay to see the beautiful sunsets, or to explore the area. The property also had live music in the evening by the pool and car parking was very close by. We also liked the large outdoor seating area to eat your meals.

The staff at the hotel were lovely and so helpful. On arrival, the receptionists informed us that if we went straight through to the restaurant, we could have dinner before checking in so we didn't miss it. The restaurant manager and bar manager introduced themselves by name and shook our hands on our first meeting with them. The hotel and facilities were kept very clean and tidy. Bed were comfortable, and bedroom decor modern. Location was perfect for us. Quiet, yet close enough to the main town for us to get there. There was a bus stop just down the road that was less than €3 and took about 30 mins, if that, to get to Heraklion main town. We enjoyed a few days out there, making the most of the 2 day sightseeing bus. The hotel had plenty of beaches close by to enjoy. The closest being a small stone beach, but a short walk both left and right out of the hotel led to sandy beaches too. We also enjoyed the hotel pool, which has a children's pool and a deeper pool. The restaurant had plenty of choice for all 7 of our group to be happy and well fed. Plenty of variety and changed daily. We would definitely visit again.

From the minute we arrived the reception team were welcoming, our room was sizeable plenty of storage and exceptionally clean. For all inclusive the food was a wide selection and fresh and tasty serving staff attentive. Pool bar for cocktails and drinks with extensive selection. Plastic glasses a bit small for wine but if you sit at the bar, rather than tables you can get proper glasses. Entertainment each night was good staff were fantastic especially Fakir show. Sunbeds were reserved by a lot of guests putting towels down poolside but found the day beds in the gardens much better for cooling sea breeze.

It had a really lovely atmosphere, great pool area and pool bar, brilliant location, food excellent, great rooms,clean, and most of all the staff were amazing.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Especially Pannos, Liza and Annie. Our children really liked the interaction with them at every meal. The Spa was wonderful and the two people there knew exactly what they were doing. The pool and pool bar was also very good and we enjoyed it very much.

Wonderful hotel in a nice location in Ammoudara. I can totally recommend the private pool rooms, especially the quieter ones like we had - really worth the money! Everyone from the staff was super nice and helpful, we'll definitely return once more.

Amazing stay! Totally worth the price. Everything was perfect – great food, super friendly staff, and they were really careful with my lactose-free needs. Loved the private pool and the tennis court! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Personnel was very helpful and kind. Especially the girls in reception. The bungalow with the private pool is just amazing. Plenty of food, snacks, and drinks during the day.

We stayed in the bungalow with private pool. Room was stunning and facilities were amazing. Staff are very helpful and accommodating

The staff was very accommodating, attentive and friendly. The rooms with access to the private pool were really nice.

Unbelievable from start to finish. We had a premier suite with a private pool which was incredible. The hotel team were amazing and so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they really made the stay memorable. Restaurants were great with plenty of choice. Service around the pool was fantastic and the cleaning services were perfect. I highly recommend this hotel for any couple looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway

We have just finished our 2 week honeymoon at Nema. We had the King and Queen treatments at Nema’s spa which had been a gift from my sister, this was a great surprise when checking in and was incredible, the spa itself is beautiful and so relaxing. The hotel is lovely, clean and modern and we were so happy with our room (design independent with private pool) what made our stay even better was the hospitality from staff members, they truly made our experience and were so helpful. A special mention to Odysseas, Soumaya, Nikos, Rustiv, Paris, Marianthis and Mandrin - they really make Nema what it is and add to the experience of the hotel - all staff mentioned went above and beyond to make our stay great! So friendly and approachable with no ask too big or small. I hope they are recognised for the large impact they have on all guests who stay with Nema! Last but not least the food, the food was incredible - everything in Rizes was cooked to perfection and was beautifully served. The breakfast and dinner buffets were amazing and each evening there was a different theme with an array of dishes to try. We really loved Cretan night and the live music! I would recommend Nema Design and Spa to anyone, it was such a great way to spend our honeymoon!

Nestled in the stunning heart of Crete, this hotel offers a luxurious sanctuary with chic beachfront views and contemporary design. My room, featuring a private pool, provided seclusion, and the staff were warm and accommodating, offering helpful tips on car rentals. However, housekeeping and room service need improvement, as I experienced issues like delayed restocking, missing bathroom towels, and unfulfilled room service requests. The minibar fridge was empty, and dust was noticeable in the breakfast area. I enjoyed the spa's beautiful environment, but my therapist did not fully listen to my needs, so clear communication is essential to ensure a satisfying experience. Overall, the hotel’s food is delicious, and the staff are truly exceptional.

Die ganze Hotelanlage ist sehr gepflegt, nicht zu gross und das gesamte Personal äusserst freundlich, zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Zimmerservice kam 2x im Tag und hat sauber geputzt, frische Handtücher gebracht oder Wasser ausgetauscht. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit eigenem Pool, der auch täglich gesäubert wurde. Das Restaurant vom Hotel hat eine grosse Auswahl an sehr leckeren Speisen. Am Pool sowie am Strand konnte man zu jeder Zeit Speisen und Getränke bestellen. In der Umgebung gibt es viele gute Möglichkeiten am Abend essen zu gehen. Ich verbrachte mit meinem Partner 8 wundervolle Tage in diesem tollen Hotel, jederzeit gerne wieder.

We last stayed here when it was called the Elysium. Then it was superb hence the easy choice for returning. Barring a door key issue that was resolved easily enough everything has been perfect. The food here is really good, breakfast is buffet but high in quality. The dinner we had here the food was plentiful and again buffet. Drinks are good quality too. Another great stay this time we picked a designer room with a pool. Just brilliant. Good quality for a fair price. We will be back again. They upgraded the sun loungers to proper comfortable ones and the umbrellas are also changed. Barring that it’s the same great service and quality your money deserves!

the property was beautiful, we were very fortunate in that we got a free upgrade to the swim up area. Top floor apartment, which was beautifully located away from the noise of the two big pools and next to a bar, would highly recommend.

Excellent resort, food was excellent especially in A La Carte restaurants and swim up rooms were really good.

Amazing hotel, staff so friendly, swim up room was brilliant.

the water park is amazing, the upgraded swimup rooms are excellent!

Great accommodation with access to private pool. Great main pool plus water park onsite (awesome). Good selection of restaurants with good quality food.

The staff were so friendly and really went above and beyond at every opportunity. The property was modern and clean. We had private pool. Could not fault anything

We were lucky to get upgrade for a room with a warm private pool, I was great for the October.

Overall a very nice hotel. The staff is very friendly, not annoying. The territory of the hotel is very beautiful. There are several pools and they are not very crowded. The rooms are clean, there are additional creams and hygiene products. We had a room with a private pool - very cool, the pool is refreshing. The location of the hotel is a small town 15 minutes from the beach. A very atmospheric village - with a large number of restaurants of Greek and European cuisine.

everything is perfect in this hotel : - beautiful hotel, it feels like a small village - two heated pools including one with a pool bar inside - beautiful rooms (I asked for an upgrade during my stay, so I had a private pool with sea view, it was awesome, I recommend it) - the food was excellent - staff was super super nice - yoga session some days - special night events some days - special phone application of the hotel where you can find everything about the different events - you can also order from the snack bar or the kitchen through the app I will definitely come back ! thanks

We booked the room with a private pool, which was a unique and enjoyable experience. The standout aspect of our stay was the excellent service from the hotel staff. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff made us feel welcome, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. The waitstaff at breakfast were also very attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Additionally, the hotel pools were lovely—clean, well-maintained, and provided a very relaxing atmosphere.

Amazing resort, excellent food and good service. Would really recommend the all swim up rooms and all inclusive as the food at all the restaurants was outstanding.

Pool was nice and staff are friendly. We had a room with a private pool that was very nice. However the toilet was very smelly it smelt like water sewage which made going to the toilet a very unpleasant experience.

Right firstly the bad things ..... no still can’t think of any, what a brilliant relaxed holiday, great food, great accommodation , brilliant staff their manager should be very proud. From the moment you arrive nothing is to much trouble , we stayed in bungalow with a private pool, we asked for a late check out and moved to a swim up room, I was not disappointed with either. This is a chill out holiday, I’m more of a get out and see things person and find rest difficult so I did get myself a snorkel and swam in the sea near the hotel, which had some wonderful fish to see. I also used the spa which was really nice to. I was all inclusive and the restaurant options were a great change to the usual buffet scenario, we loved Umami the best. We also got the the miniature train ( which was lively to the local town and village , you can also if you want get a bus to the main city, but I would recommend treating yourself to a good rest and a bit of being spoiled , this is the place to do it😊

This was a 1 night stay prior to a longer booking, in a basic room. I was also here last year. Don’t be scared of a solo trip, the people are fantastic and you will be made to feel very welcome and not alone. The guests are hit and miss, some are a bit rowdy, some doing photo shoots the whole time but it’s easy to find some quiet space. Most are couples in their 30s. The rooms are soundproofed, I stayed on a top floor and couldn’t hear any neighbours which was a relief, food is fantastic but large portions. All inclusive is a must so that you can relax and let the wonderful people bring you drinks and snacks. I had a wonderful massage to start my trip, and a meal in the lovely Greek restaurant. Outside gym has some really cool equipment. I think the resort is non smoking, which is a relief as many Greek people smoke (there are mostly English people here), there are a lot of vapers. I travel to 5 star hotels for work, and I cannot say enough good things about the staff here, they are without exception friendly and helpful and in a resort like this, they make the difference between a 5 star trip and a less decent holiday. I will definitely return next year. I also stayed in the grand bungalow which was easily the best hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. I’d advise anyone to book a swim up room at least, to avoid sunbed wars at the pool.

Everything about this place is 5 stars. The a la carte dining options are incredible with 5 restaurants to choose from, all offering very different cuisine. The cocktails are made fresh and are excellent quality. There is an outdoor gym for CrossFit style training and a well equipped indoor gym. The room was excellent - we had the premium swim up. Our deck was in the shade most of the day which may bother some people, but we were happy to use it as a break from the sun. And there are plenty of sun loungers available. The resort felt spacious and quiet despite being fully booked. Staff are very attentive and friendly. If we had to be constructive, one criticism would be the buffet - we enjoyed the breakfast. Lunch and dinner are ok, but the variety isn't huge and quality was hit or miss. However, there are several restaurant options for lunch as well where the food is guaranteed to be great. We will definitely be going back, it's an excellent resort for couples.

Beautiful grounds and pool. Lovely and peaceful. The food was amazing and the staff were so polite snd helpful. We were upgraded to a swim up room.

The property was unique in that it had so many swim up rooms & beautiful pools. My room might have been a bit small for 2 people.

Swim up rooms, pool area, access to beach, service, relaxation. Staff were so attentive, obliging and delivered all with a smile, nothing was too much trouble. Food is excellent.

Excellent choice at breakfast, pleasant staff and location. Swim up room, plenty of pools and beds and private beach. Quiet location

The meals were very good and the swim up pool was most enjoyable

If, like me, you have never been to Crete before or are looking for a hotel with some soul and authentic Greek feel then PLEASE book a room at this resort. I had to book this resort fairly late in the day after having to cancel a previous trip to Kos - and I'm so glad for it now! Firstly, the resort is beautiful. Each "room" is like a mini-villa and they only differ based on the number of rooms you need with the larger ones having a private plunge pool. This shared experience really makes you feel as if everyone is in a little community. Secondly, the 'gardens' are almost like a botanical attraction, they are well maintained with huge variety and very fruitful with lemons, pomegranates, olives and herbs - they are not like the sculpted segments of vegetation you get at most hotels. Being the only resort on the hills in the area, every villa can see the sea from their windows flanked by the mountains and hills and enveloped in the gardens - everyday it was beautiful even when cloudy. The staff are exceptional, very friendly and welcoming and happy to help with anything. The Greeks are a lovely people and this is reflected perfectly by the staff - a particular shout out to Georgios and Marianna in the restaurant for their conversation

An excellent stay and a role model of customer service. There was a little incident slightly before our check-in and it was handled in the most professional way by the reception team. Kudos to Kristalli and Vasilis. The hotel is very spacious and a golf cart service is offered to assist with luggage transportation etc. The pool areas are wide with enough sun chairs for everyone. I liked the decór of the bar near the reception area. The hotel offers amenities such as spa, golf, entertainment, a cat cafè and much more. We had the one bedroom villa. You can see renovation has been done and the room is kept in a simple yet practical style. Lots of space with kitchen amenities such as a stove, a waterboiler, a microwave etc. Loved the balcony and the sunbeds on it. There is an iron facility as well. We had dinner in Rodies Restaurant, which is highly recommendable. Traditional Cretan cuisine with a twist. The service was impeccable, a big bravo to the restaurant staff and the chef. The ambience near the pool is exquisite. Would recommend the pork, the chef's appetiser plate and the dolmades. A wider desert selection would be nice. Breakfast was very busy. Variety of savoury and sweet options. It would be nice to offer iced coffee at breakfast. The maitre was very friendly and talkative. All in all a great stay and will come back!

Couldn’t have wished for a better resort. The location is about a 10-minute drive from the beach and charming nearby towns. But even within the resort itself, there’s plenty to do. There are beautiful swimming pools, excellent restaurants, a small supermarket, a tennis court, and much more. We knew we had a balcony, but it was a pleasant surprise to find that this balcony (actually a rooftop terrace) was enormous. We enjoyed lovely meals there with a view of the sea. Everything was well arranged for our almost 1-year-old son as well. A crib was ready for him in our room, parts of the pool were perfect for babies, and there were high chairs available at breakfast. Another big highlight for us was the breakfast. There was a huge variety, and every day we discovered new delicious surprises. And perhaps the best part of the resort is the staff. Our son needed to go to the hospital, and they helped us as much as they possibly could. Everyone was incredibly friendly and genuinely wanted to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We definitely want to come back someday, it exceeded all our expectations. Once again, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who works there.

For me this was a near perfect set up if you want to relax and unwind, having a collection of villa's rather than a single building means it doesn't feel cramped, likewise being spread out over a big site meant you rarely felt you had to worry about getting a space by the pool like you can at other places. The staff could not be more helpful, most of the extras food and drink where good value and a mini market onsite meant you could top up any supplies easily. No real negatives other than the "mocktails" were incredibly expensive compared to normal soft drinks but that is a choice I made equally the local town is VERY touristy and so don't go there expecting an authentic Greek experience. If I want to chill for a week by the pool in the sun this would be top of my list.

Well equipped spacious modern apartment with free wi-fi and several tv channels for different languages. On arrival there was a bottle of water and bottle of local rose wine, which was very appreciated. Within the Resort there is a small shop and library, two pool areas with poolside places to eat, onsite restaurants, and a SPA and health area. There is also a regular courtesy bus to take you into the nearest town of Hersonissos, taking about half an hour, as the Resort is somewhat out on a limb. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the overall Resort clean and tidy.

The hotel is simply beautiful. open your doors in the morning to a lovely seating area and a private swim up pool. AMAZING!!!

amazing, the most gorgeous pools all over, defo worth getting a swim up room. landscaping is beautiful, flowers everywhere. very modern, clean, rooms are lovely! staff are friendly and restaurants are great

Very nice hotel with all the facilities. We had an upgrade to a very beautiful room with sea view and direct access to a semi-private pool. Waiters were very nice and friendly. Very nice beach, comfortable sunbeds, transparent water, nice sand.

My stay at the Mitsis Rinela was amazing. From when I arrived the staff were exceptional, always smiling and easy to talk to. The rooms were cleaned daily and mini bar replenished daily. Most of the food options are good, especially the bits you can get during the day by the beach. I highly recommend booking the restaurants prior to your arrival - the Italian was my favourite. The swim up rooms are gorgeous and incredibly spacious, ordering drinks here was a bonus as you didn’t have to go to the bar.

This resort is truly exceptional, from the warm and welcoming staff to the fantastic amenities. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a villa that had its own private pool, which made our holiday even more enjoyable. I can't wait to return! We often share our wonderful experiences about the resort and how much we loved our time in Crete. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff; your efforts really made a difference!

The neighborhood is very clean and quiet. The Staff and the food are exceptional ! The main pool area is beautiful. Our room had a swim up option, it's quite private and it's very stylish! I will be back there as soon as I can!!

Swim up room was lovely. Staff were all really helpful and friendly.

absolutely wonderful receptionists Agellika and Ioanna (hope I spell it right), amazing and helpful, thank you very much. the hotel is small and cozy, own beach, swim up room well worth the extra money.

Music was loud until 8 or 9pm and playing until midnight. Lots of people by the pool. Great sunbathing area to work from in the swim-up rooms while you watch beautiful people partying. It's a hotel room in a nightclub. If that's what you want (which I did) then it's great. If you don't want that, stay elsewhere. Either way, no complaining! and you should absolutely upgrade to the swim-up rooms.

The rooms are very nice. Clean and modern The beds very comfortable We stayed for three nights and kept extending our stay We went from a suite ocean front to a swim up room to another suite The final night we didn’t have a tv in the bedroom which was very odd since the other rooms had one and some rooms had two tv for a suite Breakfast were included and you order a La carte Beach facilities were well organized and staff very attentive

Rooms were amazing with private pool. Really nice beach and shared pool. Main restaurant was fantastic for breakfast and dinner. Great customer service.

Oh my god. This was the best experience ever. If you want calm and relaxing and some luxury, this is the place. The staff are lovely, every single one. They do every thing to make you feel great. Rooms are as good as it gets, private pool is awesome!

Upon arrival, you see the attention to detail paid to the design of the facilities, but that extends through the warmth and positivity of the staff. I absolutely loved my room and the size of my private pool; my yard was perfect for daily sunbathing in peace.

Private pool, modern environment, quiet and peaceful hotel with beautiful interior design. Extremely friendly and professional staff, exceptional food, also next to beautiful sandy beach with lovely sun lounges, make our stay very comfortable and perfect.

Beautiful property, excellent staff, great food Private pool was amazing

Amazing stay at Ikaros Beach Resort in Crete! My wife and I had a four night stay here recently and it was a fantastic holiday. The resort is beautiful, our ocean front suite with private pool was incredible, the food was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful and the overall experience was brilliant. By the end of day one we were planning our next visit! Travelling with Crohn’s disease isn’t always easy, but Giannis and his staff were so incredibly helpful with food selections that they made our stay so very simple. They were attentive and understood my dietary requirements which meant I didn’t have to worry about it at all. We are going to return next October and can’t wait! Thank you so much and see you again in 2026!

From the staff to the amenities to the facilities, they all deserve the sixth star, my wife and I stopped here for 3 days originally, and while we were there, we extended it to 4 days, no problem. And If we could have stayed for longer, we would’ve. For sure, the crown jewel of our travels so far. I’d like to thank in particular, Shivram at the front desk, for showing us our room and being very nice when we see him on our way to the restaurant. Maria at En Lefko, for recommending the best white wine we’ve ever had. George and Orestes at Daedalus bar for being very attentive and answering any and all questions about the resort and Crete, best of luck with your studies, George! Bany at Olive, for being the best host and sharing his advice. And Kostas at the pool bar, for being the life of the party at the pool, his energy was phenomenal. When we make it back to Crete one day, we WILL be staying here again, and hopefully for longer! Thank you!

We arrived late in the evening and a small plate of food was provided, after our long journey, before escorting us to our room. That was a nice touch. Beds were made everyday. Fresh towels (for the swimming pool incl) were available daily. The evening entertainment was good with a great variety every evening. The food was of a consistently high standard. In fact, it was outstanding, from breakfasts through to evening meals Everything you would hope for in a holiday; Friendly staff who made you feel welcomed, clean facilities throughout, the catering was spectacular in all of the restaurants, coupled with glorious sunshine, swimming pool, and the sea (beach) only a very short distance from the room.

Were here for a 14 days stay. Hotel is a true 5 star experience. Bungalow, surroundings, pools etc. very high service quality without exception, staff is super friendly. In the restaurant I would like to call out Samson for his service. At the Spa my wife and I enjoyed and „King & Queen“ treatment. Excellent service by Alkis and Pinar. The hotel is built like an traditional village, nested on a small hill and on top a small cliff. This means walking to your room may include somewhat of a climb. Rooms, all the buildings ,pool, beach are there to provide a pleasant experience. Food quality is good but not exceptional. Overall we would enjoy another visit.

We were on vacation as a group – the resort is beautiful and the location is perfect. The pools and the beach are just perfect. The food was amazing, and the restaurants really impressed us with their stunning locations and excellent cuisine. The staff is incredibly friendly – a huge thank you to Eleni and Thanos! You couldn’t ask for better service at the pool bar during peak season – we looked forward to seeing them every day (not just for the drinks!). We were also warmly welcomed and served by Rejus at the other bars – truly great service.

Very nice welcome, Georgio took our cases upto the room in the car, as it was a very steep hill and I doubt we would have been able to pull them up. The room was spacious and very clean ,the view from the balcony was lovely. We were over looking the pool and bar area , also had a great sea view. The maids came every day to clean and make beds and change the towels. The staff at breakfast were very nice and friendly, they never stopped working and always had a smile. The pool was the cleanest pool I've ever seen whilst holidaying in crete . It was scrubbed and cleaned every night . We ate at the hotel only 3 times , the food was nice but the drinks were double the price of places in the village. You could only get wifi round the pool area . This hotel is not recommended for anyone who has difficulty walking.

Very difficult to say a bad word about the place. Our holiday started with George picking us up from the place expedia transfer dropped us and George letting us know he was in a position to upgrade us to a better room.The room had everything we needed, a fridge to store the gin and wine (the essentials), a sink, kettle and crockery to meet our needs, a balcony with a great view of the sea. The continental breakfast was what you would expect and nicely starts your day off without feeling like your going to sink in the pool as soon as you dive in. The pool is always clean and our room was cleaned daily with fresh flowers put in the bathroom and lounge area each day. Downsides but by no means bad points, the bed was a little firmer than our one at home but every holiday we have had, a bed is never like your own! If you go into town to try out the bars or restaurants at night, a small torch or smart phone with a torch on is helpful for the last 200 meters before the hotel as there are no street lights, but this is of no fault of the owners. We have eaten at the restaurant several times, enjoyed the freshly and home made food and its amazing, much better than some of the restaurants down the road, reasonably priced and great tasting. Definite compliments to George's mum! For a family run Hotel this is just run to perfection, from the house keepers , the waitress to George, nothing is ever to much trouble for any of them to ensure you have an enjoyable holiday.

If you plan to stay by the pool and surrounding area, a car is not necessary. If you plan to go into town or the local beach or travel anywhere on this incredibly beautiful island, renting a car is a must. A taxi from the airport was 45 euros each way, cost to rent a car was 150 ever Uris for four days. We m emotion this because we did not read a review that suggested renting a car. The hotel is quiet, clean and the staff are pleasant and accommodating. Our room was clean, cool and comfortable. The pool was a little murky for some reason, which was surprising because it looked clean.

Lovely hotel with super staff and excellent lunches and evening meals available. Beautiful views, pool and relaxation area around pool. All very clean and well cared for.The inclusive breakfast was quite minimal (bread, egg, fruit,yoghurt, juice, tea/coffee; but additional items are available at extra cost. Future visitors need to be aware that the hotel is built into the side of a hill, meaning that you need to be pretty fit to stay here! There is a steep climb to the rooms and most also have steps to climb; no lift. There is also a fairly steep climb up from the village, which is partly unlit, so you need a torch. We would advise booking transfer from the airport via the hotel as some providers send vehicles which cannot actually access the hotel. George, the owner, was very helpful to us in this respect, taking us down to get our transport back in his car, for which we are very grateful!

A Memorable 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration** My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Creta Blue Boutique Hotel from March 27-april 7 2025 to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and our experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality provided by George, the owner, was truly exceptional. George went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless and enjoyable, arranging transportation to and from the airport, organizing a rental car, and providing a comprehensive guide to explore the breathtaking island of Crete. His dedication to making us feel welcome and cared for at this charming, family-owned boutique hotel. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Our luxurious room featured a beautifully updated bathroom, a spacious living area, and a private balcony that offered stunning views of both the pool and the ocean. The elegant design and attention to detail created a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. We stayed for 11 nights, and every moment was filled with joy and tranquility. The Creta Blue Boutique Hotel is truly a hidden gem that combines personalized service with exquisite accommodations, and it made our anniversary celebration an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this extraordinary hotel to anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury and authentic Cretan hospitality. Thank you, George, and the entire Creta Blue Boutique Crew!

Fantastic stay at Nana Princess Suites. We stayed in a private pool room with an ocean view. We had a wonderful experience from check-in to check-out. This hotel provides the highest level of attention to detail and service. One of our favorite stops in Greece. We stayed in the bed and breakfast special, and paid for our dinners which were reasonably priced. We enjoyed the private pool, ocean view, and room service options (try the American breakfast special!). An overall great stay.

From the moment I arrived at Nana Princess I knew it was going to be a special holiday. A glass of champagne, a pen with my name on it to complete forms and a tour of the resort all with minimal fuss. The rooms are a technology delight, the private pool, the main pool, the pool bar, the staff, breakfast, restaurants, all simply perfect. The spa is definitely worthy of an experience too. I went to the Nana Princess solo, and throughout was made to feel very welcome - it was fine to be on your own. I can't wait to return and experience this spot of paradise in Crete again!

Amazing. Everything from the start of check in to check out the staff was amazing. The room and the private pool with the view, wow. The food options were plenty and breakfast was delicious every morning, the property was gorgeous the best part aside from the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, was the staff who made our stay so relaxing and fun. Paela and Kosta at the pool bar, are so entertaining and personable they made the cold pool water enjoyable.

The hotel itself was beautiful and worth everyone if it’s 5 stars but the staff really make the difference (and if I could give them 6 stars I would). Attentive, always happy and chatting with an approach that felt genuine and not because they were told to. One if the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. The food was excellent both breakfast and the restaurants, plenty of options for sunbathing either with your own private pool, 3 other pools or free cabanas on the beach. Absolutely awesome

From the 5 Star welcome, which included the hostess receiving us with beverages,tour of the property and helping us to familiarize ourselves with the hi-tech features in our room, to the excellent breakfast and overall experience, it is definitely a class of its own. We stayed in a seaview room which also came with a private pool. The room was well furnished, including blackout curtains, and they always maintained the room by making the bed in our absence and also left sweet treats and wine for us. The review will not be complete without mentioning the guest relations staff. Angeliki and Sofia were the two staff members who ensured we had a comfortable stay and answered all our questions about the hotel, the general area, dinner recommendations etc. They were extremely friendly and helpful and were there to greet us at breakfast and later in the evening. When there was a technical issue with the TV in the room, Sofia appeared right away and helped us figure it out and also had the technician show up immediately. She was informative about the village (Chersonissos), While we immensely enjoyed their excellent breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, baked goods etc., and the hospitality during the breakfast, our stay would have been perfect if the restaurants offered more choices of vegetarian dishes for dinner. We dined only one night in the restaurant as the options were quite limited for vegetarian entrees and sides. Hoping to see more vegetarian options during our next visit.
