"This all-inclusive hotel gave you as much food ice cream beer and wine as you could eat and drink. Our room has a view of the ocean and the pool and the small balcony it was terrific. Lots of families from different countries many children all having fun. The odd thing about the hotel is that you have to pay extra for the safety deposit key for air-conditioning wi-Fi in your rooms and shampoo. But it was a minimal charge and not very important overall. We went to the waterpark which was...

"Amazing unit within easy walking distance of the beach! Very helpful onsite host who drove us around the area and even waited while we went grocery shopping! Only minor negative is that the listing indicated there was a clothes washer and dryer however there was no clothes dryer."

Saint George Gournes Bay

10/10 Excellent

"It was our first time in Crete Greece and not realizing how big the island is ( biggest island in Greece) we picked Saint George Gournes Bay. It is a really nice, clean and almost brand new hotel looking over a beautiful sea Our room was spacious and very well designed. Bathroom was big and we had a balcony looking over the courtyard and some sea view. The staff is friendly and extremely professional.. Alex welcomed us upon arrival went over all of the necessary information with us. Breakfast was great with plenty of choices to pick from. My favorites were watermelon and Greek pastries.. of course not to forget yogurt !! One thing I highly recommend is to rent a car from the airport if you want to explore this beautiful island. Various locations in the island offers something unique.. there are some restaurants and mini markets however you need to walk minimum 20-25 minutes to get there. plus this part of Crete is new so some of the streets are not really that well lite ,, we didn’t get the rental car first 3 days after walking 10-15k steps a day to get bread and water and some snacks. We decided to get a car. Also do not use OK mobility not reliable .. Back to the hotel you have everything you need if you want to stay by the pool Beach is about 5-6 minutes away by walking and it is 10 euro a day for 2 chairs and umbrella. The sea in front of the hotel is very rocky so swimming is not possible. We went to various beaches in the island to explore This side of the island i"
