“3 night stopover on Crete tour”
Close enough to the action, far away enough to avoid the noise

“Super Stelios Gardens”
Superb. The hotel with its beautiful garden and pool was so relaxing. I loved everything. My room was both modern, homely and stylish. Cleaning was always of a high standard. Personal balcony lovely for reading etc...The staff were fun, respectful and really helpful. The food was delicious from morning to evening. Full bar till late. I especially loved the evening meals by the pool looking at the mountains. Evening menu was traditional with something for everyone to enjoy. Always delicious and presented beautifully. Location is close to beach which I loved. Also close to old Town and beach road full of bars and restaurants. Stelios gardens was an Oasis for me where I could enjoy the quiet or dip into the party. Once back at hotel I had my peace and good sleeps. I will be back next year without a doubt. Thank you.

“A lovely place to stay, in a good location with nice staff, but some aspects could do with updating!”
Two of the rooms we had were lovely! New and modern and very clean. The restaurant had good food and was a good value for money. The location was perfect - 2 min walk from the beach and a 2 min walk to the strip. Pool and garden area was nice and well kept.

“A place you'd love to return to.”
A very nice place with a good swimming pool, a restaraunt and exceptionally warm hospitality. I would especially like to highlight the help we received in organizing our child's birthday celebration, which will remain a wonderful memory for a long time.

“Nice stay, good value!”
Hotel is very nice, facilities well maintained, clean (pool could use some extra cleaning tho). Breakfast is simple, but has everything you need for good meal. Room, Luxury one-bedroom suite, was really nice. New, clean, modern with little kitchenette and balcony. We were also able to do our own breakfast, if we wanted. Room also had enough space for baby bed. Staff nice and helpful. Location near to beach but also near to busier streets (not very noisy).

“Great location and facilities but staff could have been friendlier”
Great pool and cheap food. Excellent location. Staff could be a bit more friendly, but we came on a stag and were probably a little loud, so they may not have appreciated that. We stayed in the luxury apartment, and it was a good size for a group of 5 lads.

The hotel is very nice and nicely decorated. The staff is friendly in general, maybe the owner lady is the most nicer. The rooms are fine, cleanliness could be improved. Breakfast and service are good. Overall the place is good but we had to move to another hotel because my husband suffers from respiratory system and often has to stay in a warm environment. When we arrived at night( the whole week was raining and cold) there was no hot water and they had blocked the heating so we had to ask for a blanket but still could not sleep well. Also in our room next door they started to do works with the drill at a very early hour and we could not sleep again.. Danke!
