Spilia Village Hotel & Villas

"Very beautiful village, really top breakfast, magical place, really top clean and the staff are adorable. The swimming pool with the jacuzzi is really nice. In fact, the hotel has 2 swimming pools and a jacuzzi in the middle. Ideal for going to Balos"

Villa Gereoudis Sea View Rooms Pool & Bar

Elia Hotel & Spa

MRS Chryssana Beach Hotel

"If you want peace and quiet this is the place to stay, room basic but clean and tidy. The hotel staff were exceptional, always helpful, smiling and cheerful. Manuel on reception is wonderful, couldn’t do more for us, even stopping by at the end of his shift to wish us a safe journey home. Stand out staff who were a credit to the hotel were Anastasia and Amir, always ready to help and always with a smile. Breakfast is standard with a good choice of fresh fruit (I missed bananas though) Evening meal was freshly cooked and a good choice available. A good chance to taste some traditional dishes. Pool is lovely and gardens kept beautifully. Beach is a short walk, pebbles and some sand, take some beach shoes as it is difficult to get in the sea. Lifeguard on duty daily. A short walk away are shops and another beach with sun chairs and umbrellas to rent, this is more sandy and has a calmer sea due to wave breakers. The supermarket is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. No kettle in room if your like tea take one with you. This would have been 5 stars if it was adults only as it was when I booked it, though this is the fault of the agency we booked with not the hotel. I came with a friend and we had a lovely stay here and would visit again."

Galini Palace Resort Hotel

Aphea Village

"We stayed here as a couple in June for 5nights. The pool area, public areas and gardens are immaculate! We stayed in room : apartment 51 which was at the top of 4 steep flights of stairs (not good if you’ve got mobility issues!!) We were slightly disappointed when we entered there was a strong musty smell, although the walls had been painted, the kitchen area was tired, with scrapes and small chunks missing on the worktops. It looked grubby and shabby. There was also no kettle which meant we ended up having to buy one at the local supermarket!! When I mentioned this to the lady on reception, she said that they don’t leave them in the rooms, you have to go ask her as they don’t leave them in the rooms. I’ve never heard of that before !!! And it certainly didn’t cross my mind to ask at reception when it was an apartment with equipped kitchenette that we’d booked. Rare to have a hot shower and the bathroom was shocking. The bath was rusty, stained and made me not want to step into it. We were told that the rooms / apartments were undergoing renovations and we assumed they hadn’t visited 51 as yet. It also lacked patio furniture out the front. That would have been a nice touch. Views were absolutely stunning over the town, harbour and sea from Upstairs. The bar and pool are owned by/ run separately from the hotel and the food / drinks were lovely. Pool immaculately clean and maintained. Overall, a relaxing short stay (if you overlook the tiredness of our apartment)"

Euphoria Resort - All Inclusive

"It was my first time staying in an all-inclusive hotel. The hotel was modern and well decorated. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The restaurant was open at almost any time and there were basically no restrictions. The kids loved the water slide. Although it was not big, there were not many people and they could enjoy it. Unfortunately, the temperature was relatively low in early May and there was a strong wind. Although the outdoor swimming pool was beautiful, it was not very swimmable."

Avra Imperial Hotel

"We stayed in a deluxe suite with a pool for 7 days. The room was somewhat run-down and felt quite old, unlike the photos online. Cleanliness was also subpar, likely due to the room's age. For example, there was mold in the grout between the bathroom sink and surrounding tiles, and the floor was cracked and always felt dirty. The sofa was white but very dirty, with faded colors and grime. The room's soundproofing was poor; we could hear conversations from upstairs in the bathroom. Furthermore, although the hotel advertised an all-inclusive package, they were very strict about bottled water and meal times. Each person was only allowed one bottle of water at a time, and it wasn't delivered; we had to get it ourselves from the bar. We were rushed around for meals if it was even slightly late, and the staff became quite rude. We had a small baby traveling with us, and although we requested a crib during booking and reminded the hotel via WhatsApp, there was no crib in the room. We waited over an hour after check-in before an extra crib was provided, disrupting the baby's sleep. In short, our experience with the hotel was subpar; the facilities, cleanliness, and service were not worth it."

Selini Suites & Waterpark

"We stayed here with our kids in June and had a fantastic experience. The food was amazing, the rooms were great, and the water park was a huge bonus. Our kids absolutely loved it and spent hours having fun there. The Kids Club was one of the highlights of our stay. Ugne created the most beautiful face paintings, and our children never wanted to leave without a new masterpiece on their faces. Frida ran the mini discos, which the kids looked forward to every day. They always came back with huge smiles and had so much fun. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel. The only downside was transportation. The bus schedule can be quite difficult to work around, and taxis to Chania can become expensive quickly. Other than that, everything was wonderful and we would happily return.❤️"
