Pelekanos Beach Vacations

The room was very clean & private and the pool and views were great.

Beautiful hotel! The staff does a wonderful job of keeping the rooms and property pristine. I would highly recommend this hotel.

AVOID - Way too expensive for what you get. The hotel looks beautiful, but the pros stop there. The biggest issue is the pool. Despite, advertising a 1:1 sunbed-to-guest ratio, there are nowhere near enough sunbeds. There are signs everywhere saying not to reserve them with belongings, yet staff refuse to enforce the rule—even when the issue is brought to their attention. We stayed five days and only managed to use the pool once. When we finally got a sunbed because another couple kindly gave us theirs, staff immediately confronted us for having a coffee purchased outside the hotel. Apparently outside food and drinks are forbidden, despite there being no signage or communication about this rule. The hotel coffee is terrible. The rooms look nice but are poorly designed: no mirror above the bathroom sink, no soundproofing, and almost nowhere to store belongings. It feels like money was spent making everything look luxurious rather than making it functional. What was most disappointing, however, was the attitude of the staff. Any concern we raised was met with indifference, and we constantly felt like we were being watched for the next thing we might be doing wrong. Don’t park here. Don’t bring food/drinks in. Don’t take the pool towels out. Don’t do this/that. It was exhausting. For these prices, I expect hospitality—not to feel like an inconvenience. Save your money and stay somewhere else. There are plenty of beautiful hotels where you can actually feel like a guest.

It was a good hotel just they didnt inform the spa was not working. I had a great massage and the views of the ocean are truly magnificent

One of the best places in Greece. No. 1 on Crete island

Location was excellent - walkable to waterfront in old town and close to lots of restaurants. Our room was in the main building (preferred), and not the one across (need to carry suitcase up the stairs). The room itself was small. Breakfast was excellent, with good egg and non-egg vegetarian options. The property is built around old ruins and the ruin has been showcased, which was special. The staff were very helpful and sweet. The bathroom was a bit awkward. There was not a lot of space to keep things by the sink, but there was space outside the sink area. The shower option was hand shower in an open round tub, which took a bit of adjusting. One could not stand and shower, else the water would splash around. The tub itself was beautiful, but not very practical. There was one time where the water pressure in the commode was not sufficient and it would not flush; had to wait for a bit. There was no cream for coffee in the room, but the restaurant downstairs brought us steaming milk & soy milk upon request, which made our coffee in the room very enjoyable. Overall, recommend this place.
