"Der Service ist annehmbar, die Restaurants jedoch enttäuschend. Die Lage des Hotels ist gut, der Service ist okay, die Speisen haben unsere Erwartungen nicht erfüllt. Die à la Card Restaurants werden ihrem Ruf nicht gerecht. Für ein 5 Sterne Hotel hätten wir deutlich mehr erwartet, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist schlecht. Die Auswahl der Speisen war angemessen, aber leider entsprach die Qualität nicht einem 5 Sterne Haus. Hier ist noch reichlich Luft nach oben. Leider war das von uns...

Hersonissos

10/10 Excellent

We stayed here in June. The large family suite with bunk beds was very comfortable and the staff was very diligent about replacing towels which was really appreciated. The room was supposed to be seafront but in reality we were looking at trees blocking the view. The beach is great IF not windy. We had a few days where the wind meant no swimming at the beach was allowed. No big deal but something to be aware of. Mezze and Mouries restaurant had great food. The breakfast options are also great....

Perfect place to stay in Agios! Right on the water walkable to the lake and tons of restaurants but a little more on the outskirts of the chaos. The staff are what make this place- they are truly all amazing and go above and beyond. We had a spa suite with a hot tub and just a regular ocean view room- nice room but I think you actually get a better view in the regular rooms. The spa bath is more like a one person jacuzzi because it’s very slippery and when we had two people the water started to...

Nothing bad to say about this resort. Upon arrival, we were upgraded from a Ocean View Suite to the Ocean View Suite with Private Swimming Pool at no additional charge. The Greek hospitality was immediately recognizable. They gave us a free massage, bottle of wine and water, fruit basket and another free bottle of wine coupon to be used with dinner at the resort. The room was spacious with new amenities. The dinner restaurant was a buffet that cost 25 euro p/p. I would say that may have been the...

Moncasa Suites

10/10 Excellent

An absolute gem in Agios Nikolaos! Highly recommended! We stayed at Moncasa Suites during our trip to Crete and couldn't have been happier with our choice. The location is wonderfully convenient—just a short, easy walk into town—and the property itself was immaculately clean, modern, and comfortable. What truly sets Moncasa Suites apart, though, is the incredible hospitality. When we called upon arriving early in the morning, Alexandra kindly accommodated us and let us check in early right...

We stayed at Istron Collection Villas in September 2026, and our experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Our villa was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and having our own private pool made the stay even more special. The staff truly made our visit memorable. Everyone at the hotel and throughout the property was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The customer service was outstanding! One of the sweetest surprises was when the staff overheard that we were celebrating a...

This is a very nice hotel near the marina, a bit away from the chaos of the center of A.N. but still close to restaurants, the beach, etc. The perfect location in my opinion. The hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room itself was fairly basic but clean. We booked a room with a large deck - enough room for 2 loungers, a bistro set, and a bit tub (with unheated water perfect for cooling off in). We spent quite a bit of time on that deck. Breakfast was very good as well. Good...

It's just great resort. The location is great. The facilities are wonderful. We were a couple on vacation and first when I've seeing the kid guests I thought it would be noisy. But The resort is very well planned - it felt like not crowded at all. There were plools for kids and just great SPA for adults. It has 4 or 5 restaurants on the territory of the resort - so you don't need (or actually you don't want) to go anywhere else. There's a direct access to the sea with good sand beach....

This is a luxurious, beautiful hotel set in one of the most beautiful surroundings possible. Flowers, gardens, art, good food, amazing access to the sea. A very special place. We were upgraded to a villa with private pool and this was phenomenal. The villa was large and very well designed. Our only complaint was that the shower was very small. There was a separate bathtub in the room with a gorgeous view that made up for it, however.
