"Charming hosts, modern and very comfortable furnishings, quality appliances and cooking equipment. One can walk anywhere in town. A short drive to Chania, Ocean swimming steps away and a very peaceful location. Watch the nautical traffic from your patio. I hate to compliment too much because we planned to return this October but it was sold out! The word is out! 5 star review, 10 stars if I could. Kim S. Seattle/USA"

"The proprietor, Mr. Yiorgios, was so very friendly, gracious and helpful. The apartment had an absolutely exquisite view of the sea from the balcony. Beautiful sunsets each night! Would recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a quiet, clean, wonderful apartment steps to the beach. "

"This was the perfect place to stay. It was quiet but not empty with the pool bar helping all of your needs. The staff are a nice family and so helpful. I fell ill one night and the amazing man behind the pool bar brought me aspirin and got his father to bring a thermometer. The balcony was great for our cheap date night and the kids around the pool loves the pool toys almost as much as my boyfriend did."

Balcony was a little small but enough for the 2 of us. Very relaxed stay, would definitely book again and happily...

Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete
8/10 Good
"The property is beautiful and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I do not think the property is at 5 stars as the finishings in the room and attention to detail seemed rushed. Our phone and air were not working, the phone was fixed but we got tired about asking for help with the air as the room gets very muggy because there is not ventilation and a lot of windows. "
"This was a wonderful hotel. We were on the 5th floor and enjoyed a spacious balcony and great ocean views. The room was spacious and well appointed. The shower had a drenching rain shower head and great water pressure. Nice coffee/tea offerings and refridge including a few bottles of water, juice, and wine.
Breakfast buffets were amazing with lots of variety; my wife is vegetarian and loved it!
The front desk staff were very kind and helpful. Eleni spent much time insuring we had great tips for site seeing.
We didn't take advantage of the pool or spa but looked small but inviting.
Great hotel. An unexpected jewel very near old town. Would love to stay again. "
"Excellent property, overall the staff are very kind and supportive. Excellent breakfast. The transportation from the hotel to Chania is definitely very helpful. We would go back for sure. "
"The property was very clean and the staff was excellent very helpful. We ate at the restaurant for dinner 2 nights the wait staff was awesome. Great place. "
"We had a good stay overall, with a few things worth noting.
The staff were excellent. Petros handled a leak in our room brilliantly and upgraded us to a suite while it was fixed. The bar staff were also very attentive and friendly.
The main downside was the spa setup. For a hotel marketed as a 5* hotel and spa, it was disappointing that all facilities come at an extra cost. The sauna and jacuzzi require a private booking (30 minutes, €25–30 per person). The jacuzzi was also only lukewarm and only seemed to heat up towards the end, which goes very quickly.
It was also a shame the indoor spa pool was closed. I understand this is no longer advertised, but it would have made a big difference, especially in bad weather.
That said, the massages were excellent and worth the €50–60 per person.
The hotel is a mix of old and new. The older side shows wear, with stains on couches and cushions, but the beds were comfortable and housekeeping was great. The suite was lovely. I would recommend paying extra for newer rooms in the spa building.
Breakfast had nice touches like local honey, also given as a check-out gift, but vegetarian options were limited. Indoor seating can be tight in colder months.
Overall, great service but not quite a 5* spa experience."
