Amazing location right on the beach. Very clean and well maintained studio with an incredible view. Easy and friendly communication with the owner. Meals (extra charge) can be taken at the neighbouring hotel Artemis, which I found very convenient. Will surely visit again!

“Good/basic accommodation to visit the calmer end of Crete. Just drive out of the main drag.”
Very clean. Good price. Big bed. Welcome from housekeeper, nice biscuits and raki. Good base for experiencing genuine Cretan hospitality if you are prepared to drive 15 mins from the town. Seretis restaurant is fantastic.

“We loved our stay and will be back again.”
We loved staying there and waking up with an amazing view. The apartment is exactly as in the pictures. Yannis was a great host - very kind and helpful. The apartment has a great location - directly on a clean, sandy and flat beach and restaurant are only a few steps away. Plus we had our own parking space which was great. Thank Yannis for making our stay so comfortable and amazing.

“The best summer residence we ever had.”
This place met all our expectations and more. Our clean and bright apartments on the groundfloor are directly at the beach - no traffic, no noice, after a few steps you are on a beautiful sand beach with easy access into the clear sea. The service is excellent! The rubbish bins are are emptied every day, the appartmment is cleaned every day except sunday and 3-times a week sheets and towels are changed by friendly competent cleaning staff speaking English. Yiannis, the communicative and humorous patron checked on us every day, mending or cleaning whatever was needed. He even supplied splendid Raki and other Cretish specialities. We can't wait to go there again.

“Excellent apartments”
Yiannis is an excellent host and White Pearl apartments are beautiful, perfectly located on the beach overlooking the azure sea and palm trees. Well kept gardens with grape vines and hibiscus flowers lead you to breakfast next door if you want, or a stroll along the beach into town to the many bars and restaurants. There's so much to love - we will definitely be back.

“Never had a room closer to the beach. Loved it”
Host Yannis and his son are very nice and helpful, before and during the trip (easy contact via WhatsApp, live check-in). They take great care of the facility. From the bed, you can see and hear the ocean. It couldn’t be closer. Beautiful and special, not just sea view but sea feeling. Beach has some stones, after 1 meter pure sand, mostly calm and shallow water. We prefer sand beaches but it wasn’t a problem at all. Best thing: right next door (almost as if it belongs) is a restaurant from the neighbor Hotel where you can sit at the beach or take food & drinks to you umbrella. For breakfast,lunch, drinks or dinner (Kima Restaurant) There are some restaurants around, but very touristic. We spent the end of our vacation there, just what we wanted. If you look for more social life, Makrygialos might not be the right spot (at least end of May). Each room has access to 1 Parking spot close by, 1 umbrella and 2 sunbeds at the beach + Water and juice to start with. Cleaning is done daily if wanted. Wi-Fi works great.

“Very nice small hotel with a cosy private beach”
I think it's the best hotel you can stay in the neighborhoud. The beach of the hotel is very private, very cosy. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Yannis is a fantastic host. If you want to spend some time on the beach without the usual crowd and have a calm, relaxing vacation, this place is for you.
