10. Coriva Beach Hotel

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...

Top Lapithos Hotel Reviews

Minos Palace Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Such a special location and curated experience. Everything about it was beautiful and enjoyable."

Enorme Infinity Elounda - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was very comfortable and the staff were incredibly helpful with where to eat and visit. In fact all staff, whether it was the staff serving breakfast or cleaners were very attentive to our needs. We were well looked after and it’s in a beautiful spot in Elounda."

Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible property, amazing location. Rooms are very spacious, comfortable beds. Food at all outlets was really delicious - and the consistency of the buffet breakfast was impressive. Property is quite large, but you're never left waiting long to get a buggy to take you from one part of the resort to the other. Another massive plus for families is how well staff cater to your needs. Not only is the kids club an amazing resource, but even down to how staff across all restaurants are so good and friendly with children. The beach club is also super chic, food is great there too. The water at the beach is fresh, but so beautiful, amazing blues. I would recommend if you are staying in the eastern part of Crete - this is the place to be, it's a resort feel without being to commercial and touristy feeling - a great balance of luxury and reality, given the area it's located in (situated between the small village of Plaka and larger town of Elounda)"

Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely stunning property with the most proactive, helpful and attentive staff I've ever seen at a resort. Other reviews already highlight how beautiful the resort is, so thought I'd leave specific info about accessibility, as it was a lot better than I anticipated from previous info online. My wife uses a wheelchair, although can manage short distances/a few steps. Although the resort is on a slope with multiple tiers, most of the grounds are feasible for a wheelchair; going from main reception to the bungalows, most communal grounds and the route towards the beach are all slopes. To get down to the beach and the beach bar itself, there are maybe 10 steps. Similarly, to get to the buffet restaurant, there are a few steps. If you're in a situation like us, where a wheelchair is generally needed but a few steps are manageable, don't let it put you off the resort. The staff were SO helpful and kind. They pre-emptively offered taking us on the golf cart, let us park our car next to the reception, always found ways to make trips easier and even, the night before we were set to leave, had the hotel repairman repair a loose screw on the wheelchair! I can't thank the staff enough for their support; they made us feel completely relaxed and as though we had to make no compromises even with accessibility needs. Thank you."

Sitia Beach City Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay and amenities. Very accessible to the beach, actually privately accessible with our own umbrellas and sun beds. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The beaches were amazing. Also, if you want to see other attractions, get a rental. I had a great massage. I recommend booking it in advance because sometimes it can get a little full. The only thing negative was the breakfast not having eggs to order. That would’ve been nice"

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning property and staff all amazing. Very hilly so need to be fit to get around or have a car. Suites lovely, breakfast plentiful and tasty. Beach club about 10 mins away in complimentary shuttle bus. It’s quite far from Elounda town so we drove in each night. Would be great if hotel had a shuttle bus to take you there. Everything was fabulous and definitely good value for money"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Lapithos?

The best area to stay in Lapithos is the village centre, particularly around the main square and the streets leading off it.

For couples seeking a peaceful escape, staying in the village centre is ideal. It provides an authentic taste of Cretan life, with opportunities to enjoy local cuisine and the hospitality of the villagers. The surrounding hills offer pleasant walks and views.
