Portokali Apartments

We couldn’t be happier with our stay here in Crete! From the very first moment we felt so warmly welcomed – this is a family-run hotel, and you can truly feel it. They notice their guests, treat everyone with warmth and care, and make you feel like part of the family. That genuine hospitality made the whole experience truly special. The hotel is clean and well kept, and the breakfast was a wonderful surprise – lots of variety, fresh ingredients, and something new to look forward to every morning. The bedroom had air conditioning, which was absolutely essential and wonderful in the heat, plus a fridge, freezer and a small kitchen with everything we needed – very convenient! The outdoor area feels like a little oasis with a pool, pool bar, flowers and greenery. We spent many relaxing moments there, and the atmosphere was both peaceful and cozy. The location couldn’t be better: free parking just outside, about 15 minutes to the bus stop, and only a few minutes’ walk to the beach and the sea. Central, yet quiet and tucked away – the perfect combination. The only small downside was that the bed was a bit hard, but it was manageable. There were also some ants around the pool area, but nothing that spoiled our experience. All in all, this is truly a place we wholeheartedly recommend. We leave with many wonderful memories and would be more than happy to return 🌞🌺

Excellent breakfasts, clean rooms, friendly staff, and a very pleasant and welcoming bartender by the pool. We would gladly come back.

1 star hotel. Yes, the hotel is worn and needs renovation. But it also has so much charm, and the price reflects very well what you get. Portokali means orange. But there is no orange at the hotel. Even not to the breakfast. Why not a fresh glass of orange in the morning, i love to pay 2-3 euro for that. No prices in the bar, and you did not know the drink or food menu. Very close to the beach. The wifi was in top. It was a very authentic family run place that we would like to return to. Close to the busstation to Hersonissos. Taxi about 10 euro to Hersonissos. Let my pictures talk. We will be back.
