「Great choice. Clean, cosy apartments. Easy to move around. Seaside just down the road with amazing views. Safe, quite area with shops nearby. Transports available on the main road not far from the main entrance. Many dining options in the area. Nice welcoming people. Highly recommend. 」
「It's a dated resort but it's well managed by staff who's friendly and tries to live up to its reputation. I hope they had more facilities for pet owners who like us travel light. Eco-friendly policies are in place. We have a child and enjoyed the facilities in a safe and carefree environment. Like the bathroom the most」
「Our stay at Elounda Gulf Villas was absolutely excellent. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with warm, personalized service. The suite was spotless, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views of the sea — the private pool was a true highlight!
Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of fresh, local options. The location is perfect: peaceful and private, yet just a short drive from the center of Elounda and nearby beaches.
Everything was...
「We spent at Castello Village Resort one week in September. We have the best memories of our stay.
The hotel staff (receptionists, waiters, bartenders) were very nice and helpful.
Our room was clean, towels were changed daily.
Meals were delicious and plentiful. Of course you can find hotels with more food selection but for us variety of dishes and drinks was sufficient.
The hotel is located in a beautriful area in walking distance to small but charming Sissi port and nice beaches.

「The hotel is just a short walk from the port and it’s about 7 min away from Lion Square. The sound proof is amazing considering it’s on a main street and very close to the airport. Dimitri made some very good recommendations on restaurants - all of our meals have been amazing in Heraklion. The only recommendation I made is to replenish bottled water every day, rather than just giving 2 small bottles for the whole say. But all in all, good value for money and great hospitality! 」
「Wonderful Stay in Crete!
We had an amazing experience at this hotel in Crete. From the moment we arrived, everything felt inviting the entrance smelled incredible, and the same went for the lovely, high-quality toiletries in the shower. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the shower was great, and the entire place was spotless.
The location couldn’t have been better: it’s in a safe, vibrant area with lots of great shops and restaurants just a short walk away. Everyone we encountered was...
「We stayed here for our final night in Crete and it was just what we needed. 🏙️ The location is super convenient—right in the heart of the city and close to the port, making it perfect for travelers on the move.
The room was quite compact for three people, but it had everything we needed for a short stay. The property was very clean and well kept. Communication with the host was smooth; check-in instructions arrived right on time, which made things easy.
Just a heads-up for future guests:...
「Die Anlage ist traumhaft! Umgeben von einer Pracht von verschiedenen Pflanzen. Der Pool war durchgehend auf 30 Grad. Die Appartements bieten eine kleine Kochnische incl. Kühlschrank. Ein Balkon wo man bei Abend wunderbar entspannen kann. Die Gastgeber waren super freundlich und immer hilfreich. Frühstück konnte man nach Belieben mit einem einheitspreis buchen. Der Strand war Fußweg 20 Minuten entfernt. Die Betten hatten ne gute Härte, was aber ideal war. 」
「This is the first five star review I've ever left for a hotel in Crete. The Lady who liked after us during the stay was amazingly kind, helpful and generous. The property is gorgeous and the apartments are incredibly well furnished & arranged. The pictures do not do them justice. The beach is literally across the road and the town square is a 4 minute walk. Many good restaurants just steps away. This should be on the top of everyone's list of places to stay when visiting Kalamaki.」
「We loved our stay! The hosts were so helpful and kind. The room was comfortable, very clean, and pristine. We arrived late from our flight, and the contactless entry was great! 」
「Great Family vacation. The people at Kastro Beach Apartments are great. The rooms are basic but clean and the facility around it are great. Very close to the beach, with an available outdoor pool and very good food and drink varieties. The nightlife is also fantastic for the Family. But mostly this Family run business really cares for its Customers. Thank you. 」
"We had a great stay at Creta Maris Resort. The all inclusive setup makes it super relaxing – you don’t have to think about anything and can fully unwind.
Most staff were friendly and helpful, except for one or two at Enomy Restaurant whose English made communication tricky, and the luggage staff who seemed a bit indifferent.
Food-wise, I recommend booking the à la carte restaurants. Buffets offer variety but are average in quality. Enomy has more choices than Estia. We tried Alatsi – excellent service, amazing sea view, food slightly salty, but the crème brûlée was a highlight. Desserts overall are large and satisfying.
Pool bar snacks weren’t great, but drinks and cocktails were excellent – perfect for sunny poolside moments.
Our room had a partial sea view and the resort is beautiful, with lots of photo spots. There’s a private beach, plenty of pools, and activities you can book easily through their app.
I suggest staying at least 3 days. With 4 or 5 nights, you can also explore the town.
Overall, it’s not super luxury, but it’s a great fit for families and covers a wide range of needs. Recommended."
