Asterion Suites & Spa - Designed for Adults
"Great location on the beach with easy walking distance to a small strip of restaurants and shops in Maleme. The rooms were great with comfy beds, good quality linen and towels and a great shower. The only done side is they only provide one small bottle of water per room per day. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I travelled alone and booked bread and breakfast so I could eat out some nights. The hotel restaurant food was delicious and not overly expensive compared to other local restaurants. Most of the guests at the hotel were on an all inclusive package so I felt the price of the drinks out of the package were slightly elevated! There is an option to add all inclusive on a daily which would work out good value it you are going to stay in hotel all day and drink."
Iolida Beach by Smile Hotels
"Our room was clean and spacious with a great view to the water. Our room was cleaned every day and there was plenty of parking available. Not sure what it looks like during the busy season though. The pool was nice but the water was cold. The pool is definitely not heated! Staff was friendly. We booked all inclusive. The food was ok but not exceptional. The drink options were also limited and the knock off Coke or Pepsi products did not taste good at all. But all in all we had a good time and a nice stay!"
Renieris Hotel
"Great location, tasty breakfast and friendly staff. We will be back!"
Cretan Dream Resort and Spa
"The place is just wonderful"
Phos Hotel Adults Only
"Amazing! Great breakfast, very clean hotel, beautiful pool, great location and informative and friendliest staff. Everyone always greeting you everyday with a smile. We would definitely stay there again."
Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only
"Amazing variety for included breakfast."
Atlantica Amalthia Beach Hotel – Adults only
"This was our second visit to Atlantica Amalthia. Very nice hotel. Everywhere was very clean, our room was a good size (we had a room in the building on the beach side) with nice balcony. Nice bar and restaurant. Breakfast room was nice and good choice of food. Very well kept beach. All of the staff were first class. So friendly, polite and extremely helpful. Visited the spa and had two massages during my stay and both were very nice and relaxing. Definitely recommend. Reasonable price. Didn't use the pool as it got busy very quickly. Sunbeds were very close together and not positioned well that you could get the sun all day. Whilst I enjoy swimming in a pool, we chose to stay on the beach each day. Good location with plenty of restaurants nearby. Recommend Sebastien next door. Absolute gem of a hotel and would definitely recommend it."
Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete
"The overall experience was good. The staff were very helpful and attentive. There was a bad smell in the first room we checked into, but they changed our room the next day, and the new room was much better. The housekeeping team also did a great job. The food and service at Zamana Restaurant were amazing as well. I have stayed at many five-star hotels around the world, and I would say the service here is definitely five-star. However, based on the condition and quality of the rooms, I wouldn’t consider the hotel itself to be at a five-star level."
Minoa Palace Resort
"Clean room with fairly powerful hair dryer but is stuck in bathroom. Beds comfortable and air conditioned. Good size fridge and safe. Triple room didn't provide enough chairs on balcony or enough hangers in wardrobe when we were booked as a 3 occupancy, but on asking we were provided with extras at no cost or issue and promptly. Swimming pools x 2 big, clean but very cold. fairly comfortable loungers with umbrellas and clean towels provided daily but pool doesn't open early enough in my opinion 10am-6pm only. Plenty of restaurants to choose from but didn't try food but noted to be good. Good selection of well made cocktails and delicious ice cream milkshakes. Small mini market shop on site good for water and snacks. Staff friendly and helpful especially front desk. Indoor spa pool ok size, but pool not very warm and not many beds. Good neck shoulder back massage and you get 45min use of sauna and steam room with spa treatments only either before or after the treatment. Showers available to use in this area useful for check out day. Free sun loungers on small section of beach attached to hotel with good bar facilities. Breakfast buffet large selection cooked and cold options and restocked frequently so felt fresh with hot plates available. Some lovely complimentary snacks, wine, water and ala carte breakfast provided. 1 day of power cut to local area but we were warned and back up generator meant no issues other than noise if directly by the generator. Nice relaxing stay"
