Just returned from a great week (family of 4- children ages 12 and 10). The quality of All Inclusive is very good, the customer care was exceptional. If you’re going to go, push the boat out and stay in the Euphoric Suite. It is amazing and elevates your stay to another level!!

Reviewed By tAnitad333

Our experience in this hotel has been fantastic! Rooms are beautiful, big and equiped with modern and nice beds, table, bathroom and kitchen, besides a big balcony with a table. The room and all the environment were very clean, bed sheets were changed every day and the kitchen was equiped with all things were necessary to cook. The swimming pool, situated in a wonderful garden full of beautiful flowers and fruits trees, was also cleaned every day. The owner is very nice and friendly, she showed her great hospitality and always helped us for everything we needed. Breakfast was included and always abundant and one can also have lunch and dinner: food was delicious! The hotel's position is very good, close to the beach and to many shops, coffees, restaurants.. and even bus stations (if one has not a car). I suggest this hotel to everybody, families and young people: we have been very well, as we were in our home!

I bow down to this 3-star resort.

Reviewed By Jindra60

It is a beautiful, small (45 rooms), cozy, very clean, and inexpensive resort with a large swimming pool. Long-term cooperating employees are like a family. Everyone is respectful and full of willingness to all visitors. The food (choice of 8 different plates) was very good, we liked everything. Gentlemen taking care of the dining room will not keep you waiting for the beer or soda you are waiting for, and the used plates on your table will not crowd your table for long. The cleaning ladies also do a fantastic job and I can honestly say that the cleaning services of some of the five-star resorts that my family has visited in the past could learn from them. The sea in this part of Crete was not very friendly and I can add that the whole northern part of Crete is often washed by big waves and stronger winds. On the other hand, the southern part is the complete opposite with the surface almost like a mirror. The east and west shores are also much quieter. On the main street about a 6-7 min walk, there is a small Diligars market (mainly for groceries) or you can go a kilometer further in Kolymbary is at the crossroads of a larger Inka Supermarket with more choice and better prices. Kolymbara has a large number of restaurants and bars. We highly recommend Amfithea Roof Garden Café Bar Restaurant which is located at the foot of the mountains and offers a nice view of the surroundings. We recommend renting a car and visiting Elafonissi beach in the southwest and the Paleochora and Sougia communities in the south. Lake Kourna about 40km east of Chania is also worth it.

Absolutely worth the price

Reviewed By dylancN6147ET

The beginning of the trip told us exactly what was to be expected from our stay. We unfortunately arrived a lot later than expected and the reception was closed. However, staff had left us a note on the door letting us know that they had left the key for us, with a map to our room. We went straight up to our room and enjoyed a beautiful view from the balcony. The next morning we went down to the pool to ask how we can check in, the member of staff behind the bar informed us that the manager would be arriving after 10 and sat us down for breakfast, which was the usual pastries, bread, spreads, cheeses, meats, coffee and juices, which was a great start to the day, every day. We waited until 10 and met the manager (I believe), who was genuinely one of the friendliest men I have ever met, he instantly made us feel welcome. Every time we passed a member of staff, they also welcomed and greeted us, usually stopping to chat. At the end of the stay, the manager also allowed us to stay in the hotel room a couple of hours after check out, due to our flight time being rather late. For the price of the stay, I cannot give a single complaint, and I would be more than happy to stay again. Very good location, despite the steep hill, everything is very close. Chania is a very cheap bus journey away, don’t pay for transfers, as the bus is only about €3 each way.

Does what it says on the tin!

Reviewed By rosf692

My friend and I always have our girlie holiday and, whilst we are away, we are usually looking on the internet for where to book for the next year. Not this time - we will definitely be returning and can understand why so many of the people we met return year after year. There are only 21 rooms which we found perfect - not a huge and overwhelming hotel. The rooms are very basic but very clean and, lets be honest, how much time does anyone spend in them? The location is just beautiful, very Cretan rather than commercial and there is a regular bus service to take you to Kolymbari, Platanias and Chania. There is a restaurant on the site of Pergamos plus other restaurants/tavernas along the road which is great for eating out. I would have to reiterate what everyone's reviews say, and that is that Argy has to be the most helpful, wonderful soul I have ever encountered. Nothing was too much trouble and he put himself out for us. He got us details of where to book an excursion, booked our Covid tests and even asked us if he could get us anything from the supermarket!! My friend and I have never had such a wonderful and chilled holiday and can't wait to be back there next year. Argy and Pergamos - I salute you.

Its hard to say anything bad about this Hotel, it is advertised as a 2/3 star but it has everything you need. The room we had was clean with wifi bed was comfortable and plenty of hot water. The shower was tiny though. The breakfast was plentiful with bacon and eggs and continental and Crete items. Evening Meal was no choice but if ya not fussy the meal was good with wine thrown in. owner and staff very friendly.

Perfect Family Reboot

Reviewed By penelopec483

My husband and I with our three years old son stayed in Karmi apartments for 5 nights. It was the perfect backdrop to our first travel following 18 months of lockdown in the UK. Our son played with other kids in the car free village every evening in the basketball court. We cooked meals on the kitchenette and enjoyed the quiet and quintessentially Greek views. Mornings spent down at Yialia beach - we took the car there due to the little one, but absolutely walkable too (15/ 20 minutes). Ouzo and meze at the local bar at the entrance to Stenies village - Stathmos. Coincided with a full moon. Divine. The apartment is simply decorated and fully functional. We’d recommend the location and the space. This is a quiet village - locals and second home owners proud of its uniqueness. The host Aris helped us with our first shop. We’d recommend taking his advice on this too as the village does not have its own grocers. Aris is helpful and incredibly insightful. Will be visiting again soon
