Spilia Village Hotel & Villas ★★★★

"We were stopping at a villa in the village and went to the hotel for dinner one night. We thought the food was very overpriced and fairly average quality, but it is a lovely location and the staff were excellent and very friendly. I guess its primary purpose is as a hotel rather than as a restaurant."

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."

Aphea Village ★★★

"Apartment dated but clean. Pool bar expensive and strict rules about your own drink and snacks not being allowed. Kostas and Dimitrius was so welcoming and friendly. However Ioanna was not friendly and gave out to children daily about splashing pool, no ball allowed. The pool area did not feel family friendly and we found it hard to relax eventhough the children were only having fun, we felt scrutinised."

Avra Imperial Hotel ★★★★★

"Absolutely top-notch staff service! The dining was also superb, and the views were incredibly stunning. The only issue was that the elevator in the lobby frequently malfunctioned, getting stuck and not opening its doors unless someone pressed the button from the outside. As for hardware, the power outlets on the walls in the room were a bit loose. Other hardware was fine."

Karmi Apartments ★★★

"I stayed here in September for 4 days with my partner and my 1.5 year old baby. Studio equipped with everything, they gave us a triple (even though the baby slept with us), small but functional kitchen, nice big pool! Friendly and helpful staff. All at a great price! Recommended!"

Villa Gereoudis Sea View Rooms Pool & Bar ★★★

Giannoulis – Cavo Spada Luxury Sports & Leisure Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"We booked this hotel with Tui just a week before departure. We wanted a swim up room and this hotel certainly ticked that box. From the minute we arrived the staff were amazing. They entertained our 3 year old whilst we completed the check in process. Our bags were taken to our rooms for us which was very welcome after the flight and bus transfer. We had a swim up room off the main pool, it was very clean and exactly as hoped for. The pool was very quiet, as it was for the entire stay. It is as good as the photos suggest. We never waited more than a couple of minutes for a drink at the pool bar which was fantastic, the kids especially loved the iced coffee's. The atmosphere throughout the holiday was certainly relaxed. It didn't matter if you were in the pool, restaurants, bars or the beach. It always felt quiet. We never took up any of the sporting options although they looked great. We never ventured outside of the hotel so could not comment on the location of anything in the vicinity. We enjoyed the food and despite eating at different times most days found the restaurant to be quiet. There was certainly plenty of variety and our kids never complained. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and thought it was great value for money. We will be back here for sure. Massive shout out to the staff, from the reception staff to the cleaners they were nothing short of fantastic. We have to say a special thank you to the gentleman in charge of the restaurant and Giorgos in the main bar who made our little boys holiday with how friendly they were"

Elia Hotel & Spa ★★★★

Selini Suites & Waterpark ★★★★

"Firstly we really did enjoy our holiday especially visiting chania however the hotel is definitely not a 4 star hotel. The Pros first were, our room had a beautiful sea view.The wait staff were incredibly attentive and it had a bus stop right outside the hotel making transport easy. However there were a lot more cons, the alcoholic drinks were extremely watered down to the point it felt like you were just drinking pop and not wine. There also seemed to be a lot of preferential Treatment, It was noticeable that guests who paid extra for certain upgrades, like premium cocktails, received more attention than those with all-inclusive packages with my mum being ignored at the bar for multiple minutes whilst the bar staff chatted to those who paid the extra bit for close to 5 min, which felt a bit unfair. One of the worst parts was the early Morning noise there was consistently loud noises early every morning around 7 AM. There were constant sounds of hammering, scraping chairs, and banging, which made it difficult to sleep in and enjoy our vacation, we realised they were having construction done above us which we weren't told about. The fire alarm went off 3 times late at night and we heard nothing from reception about what was going on, I had to run down and ask and was shrugged off saying it was just a problem in the kitchen. the alarm then went off again at 7am which woke us up, when we asked them again after breakfast the receptionist just smirked and said it was a little problem, my mum then told him they should've really let us know what was happening because multiple fire alarms going off is scary, he carried on smirking and only when my mum started to get mad did he apologise. There were a few problems as well with the room, the door firstly was extremely stiff, when locking it from the inside the lock just seemed to keep spinning, maybe 4 or 5 full turns before it locked. There was a kettle with cups but no tea coffee sugar or milk which we found weird because why have the facilities for it? the shower was a walk in one with just a small glass barrier that didn't reach fully across, this meant that everytime we showered it practically flooded the bathroom, the shower head also looked very dirty. At night there was also a weird crackling noise constantly which was either coming from the TV or the air con we couldn't figure out which. One of the days when I went to use the self serve drink machine it seemed there were ants either In the machine or in the cups you grab from the side. Also upon arrival there was a lack of Information given, they took our passports for a couple of hours, we were given a list for meal times and then given the key, we had to ask for the safe information which was free he just forgot to tell us, we then had to ask other guests where we went to dinner as we didn't know since during the day the area was closed off. The food was extremely limited and repetitive, they had basic salad bar which wasnt covered up so often "
