Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort Crete Curio Collection by Hilton

"Beautiful adult only resort with 2 swimming pools. And beach access. The rooms are very nice with a spacious patio. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is decent but is mostly buffet only unless you choice to eat at the upscale restaurant. Which you need to turn in your selections the night before Ierapetra is a $10 euro cab ride with many wonderful restaurants."

Minos Palace Resort

"Absolutely astonishing location and perfect hygiene everywhere, attentive and professional staff, always willing to help and make your stay even more pleasant and memorable. The hotel cares a lot about the overall aesthetics, the smell, the little details, they pay special attention to the selection of furniture and decor."

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass

"Elounda is such a luxurious experience. The service is impeccable. The suite was sprawling and so well-equipped. We had our own private gym, sauna and steam room in our villa. The pool and hot tub had an incredible dreamy view. The area was beautiful with a quaint adorable town on the water where we found everyone we spoke to very friendly and helpful. Definitely will return!"

Niko Seaside Resort Crete - MGallery Collection

"The hotel is clean, the staff are friendly, however the room service food is a disaster, not at all what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel. The in-room pool is completely cold, making swimming impossible. Also, be careful with the pictures when you book; the beginning of our stay was a room overlooking the parking lot, even though we had booked a sea view. In short, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, as part of our trip was ruined by these various issues."

Moncasa Suites

Elounda Palm Hotel & Suites

Blue Marine Resort and Spa Hotel

"Fantastic staff – always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely caring. From the moment we arrived, we felt well looked after. The rooms are modern, recently renovated, and kept very clean. The air conditioning works perfectly, and the ceiling fan is a nice extra touch. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations. If you enjoy seafood, make sure to try the fish dishes – they were absolutely delicious every single day. The pool area is clean, spacious, and perfect for relaxing. The beach is not huge, but it’s just the right size and only a few steps away. Taking a swim in the crystal-clear blue water on a hot sunny day was one of the highlights of our stay. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and would happily return. We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation with great food, excellent service, and a beautiful location"

Astron Hotel

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, making it very easy to explore the area and get around. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast – a wide variety of delicious options, fresh and nicely presented. Overall, a great experience and I would happily stay here again!"

Ella Rocrita

"We stayed in Ella Rocrita for 2 weeks mid June 2026. We had booked a Sea View Swimup room. We arrived around midnight and after check in (yes we had the tourist tax to pay but were aware of it) we were taken to our room on a golf cart. I was amazed by the size of the site. Our room unfortunately had an issue - the under floor heating was on and the entire room felt like a sauna, the thermostat showed the room to be 36.5c, we thought there was an issue and tried to suffer the first night adjusting the air conditioning, which over the next few hours reduced the room temperature to 27.5c by the morning. Over the next day or so we asked reception to send someone to look at the room, and eventually they did, but the workman said he could not fix it. Reception said they would move us, but not to a sea view, which we wanted, so we had to endure another night in the room. The room floor was like walking on concrete heated by the sun. The next day we were eventually moved rooms and I have to say it was a wonderful feeling. The food in the resort is excellent, the restaurants are fabulous and the staff and service is perfect. Even the buffet food was far superior to other All Inclusive resorts I have stayed in either in Europe or the Caribbean. The beach is great, a lot of waves, the pool area is perfect and there were a lot of free beds always, but we stayed at our room most days as we had full sun. The bars were all excellent, I never had an issue ordering drinks, and certainly did not have to wait. Limoncello Spritz is now my favourite drink I do not think I heard the word "no" once, and whichever staff member I met when walking around the resort I was always met with a smile and a cheerful greeting. It was my birthday when I was there and I got a cake delivered to my room, so thank you Ella Rocrita! Location wise it is remote, Mochlos is about 2km along the coast and I walked in every morning, there are a few shops and a few bars and restaurants. For food, I would highly recommend Bogazi, right on the seafront and around the corner is The Rocks bar, perfect for a sundowner. The front desk will arrange a taxi (Nikos is the man!). Overall I would say its great even with the issue with the room at the start. Would I go back? Maybe, if flight times were adjusted from Belfast to arrive a bit earlier so that we would arrive at a more reasonable time, our first day was over before we arrived. I had doubts given Facebook posts etc, but I would dispel any criticism given our experience. Also the cats are lovely, we even bought them some treats in the local supermarket, but they are very well fed, lots of people took meat etc for them from the restaurants."
