5.0 star property

"Pros: the water park on site. 3 swimming Pools with pool side snack bar amd plenty of sun beds. The hotel staff if very kind and service oriented. There is a minimarket onside the hotel. Cons: the food quality is very bad and some none edible. The maintanance level is poor. The swimming Pool is dirty ( pool floor is full of sand). Air conditioning in the common areas almost dosent excist which is a nightmare during thr hot summer days, same for the rooms which some of them only has a partial...

"Great pool and on a nice beach. Hotel lobby great Rooms average. Patio for room had gaps which let people smoke drift in while you were sunbathing which really spoilt relaxing by the pool. Rooms are now well sound proofed either"

Chrispy World

Chrispy World

7.6 out of 10, Good, (68)
"Before I get into all the negatives of this place, let me say that if your plan is to bring a group of children to a place with multiple pools, buffet meals, and hourly activities, Chrispy World is not so bad. If you want comfortable beds, a normal-sized TV screen, reliable WIFI, reliable air conditioning, reliable electrical outlets, and to not be nickel-and-dimed for little extras, then avoid this place at all costs. The Wifi signal only works in some rooms of the hotel, and no matter...

Selini Suites

Selini Suites

4.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (16)
"When we pulled up at the Selini Suites we thought we had made a bit of a mistake. The surrounding area was sparse with not a great deal going on. We were relieved that we had booked to stay half board because there are no restaurants within walking distance. That said, you can easily hop on a bus to Chania and be there within 40mins.The moment we walked into the hotel our impression changed- never judge a book by its cover! The hotel staff were excellent and incredibly helpful. They sorted out a...

Beachfront villa with private pool,ping-pong & BBQ
Outdoor pool, pool loungers

Beachfront villa with private pool,ping-pong & BBQ

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"I'll start with the positives (of which there were many): The home is beautifully built and smartly finished/ furnished. It's one of 4 buildings in the small enclave - each with its own pool. 2 of the 4 (including the one that we stayed in) faces directly onto the beach. The two main bedrooms upstairs are separated by a hallway, so there's privacy. Each has its own deck with view. The master bedroom bed is comfortable. But we found the other beds are thin and too firm. The WiFi signal is...

"Warm welcome by the owner who also provided great information about the surrounding area. Villa is beautiful, exactly as shown in the pictures. It was immaculately cleaned before our arrival and everything is included that you may need for the beach/pool. Be prepared that the beach is not sand, but rather large pebbles. You can buy water shoes in the nearby grocery store, so it wasn't a problem. The pool is also great. We enjoyed the view from the balcony watching the sunrise and sunset....

Traditional Seaside Cottage - Chania
Beach

Traditional Seaside Cottage - Chania

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (9)
"We had a lovely stay at this quiet and peaceful traditional house. It was ideally located for us to explore Crete further, and very close to walk to the beach, which was an added bonus. The house is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the Owners were very kind, helpful and hospitable. It would be ideal for a couple who want peace and space, and also a small family. We shall return."

Walk to beach! Luxury and Serenity, Seaside Home

"Das Haus ist sehr sauber, die Lage super und die Betreuung durch die Vermieter genial. So bekamen wir ausgezeichnete Vorschläge wo es was zu sehen gibt, wo gute Restaurants zu finden sind etc. Das Haus ist auch für Familien sehr geeignet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Von Haus aus sind z.B. Elafonisi oder Balos-Strand in einer vernüftigen Zeit erreichbar. Das Haus ist sehr empfehlenswert!"
