8. Artemis Hotel

Makry Gialos

"The Artemis hotel is a truly special place - recently and beautifully renovated, nestled in lush gardens and right on the seashore - you can go from bedroom to beach in just 20 steps or less. Its tranquil setting with a private beach at the end of the bay from Makry Gialos, makes it feel secluded whilst still being a short walk from the harbour with its tavernas and cafes. The room we were in had a lovely view over the gardens and beach, and a balcony to enjoy the sunset from. Staff were all...

Ierapetra

"The Coriva Beach hotel is a delight. Everywhere you look, the property is beautifully maintained, everything is just aesthetically pleasing, the staff is warm and friendly. The hotel is not opulently luxurious or overdone. It's a family owned place: three brothers took over the management of the place from their Dad. So, it doesn't have that Hiltony-Marriot-like corporate feel to it. Instead, Covina is homey, relaxing and comfortable. Breakfast options here are varied and delicious, with tables...

Minos Palace Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Modern design on a beautiful point. 270 degrees of ocean views. The hotel was full, but the layout offered us a lot of personal space and privacy. The staff were wonderful. For me & every tourists nightmare - I lost my passport on the plane. The concierge, Mariana, knew how stressful this was and was on the phone to the airline, the airport, and the police for us right away. She found it for me. Just incredible. Thank you, and thanks to the airport staff and police for being well prepared for these events."

Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"Inconsistent staff experience, on first day staff was spontaneous to provide beach towels them following days needed to find people to get those towels. Breakfast a little bit too crowded and noisy with limited selection. Over priced dinner buffet option to avoid. Italian restaurant on premise had great food but again service was not at level"

"Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in der Villa Danae und haben jede Minute dort genossen. Die Villa ist sehr geräumig und bietet unglaublich viel Platz, sodass man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Besonders die Schlafzimmer waren sehr komfortabel und dank der Klimaanlagen konnten wir selbst bei hohen Temperaturen wunderbar schlafen.Der Außenbereich ist einfach traumhaft. Es gibt viele gemütliche Sitzmöglichkeiten sowie ausreichend Platz zum Entspannen. Das absolute Highlight ist definitiv der riesige Pool – perfekt zum Schwimmen, Relaxen und um den herrlichen Ausblick zu genießen. Auch der Grillbereich hat uns begeistert und sorgte für viele schöne gemeinsame Abende.Die Lage der Villa Danae rundet den Aufenthalt perfekt ab. In der Umgebung gibt es wunderschöne Buchten, kristallklares Wasser und tolle Restaurants. Gleichzeitig konnten wir die Ruhe und Privatsphäre der Villa in vollen Zügen genießen.Vielen Dank für diesen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt – wir kommen gerne wieder!"
