With a garden, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The hotel features an indoor pool, spa centre and a 24-hour front desk. My stay was absolutely amazing! The panoramic view from the room was breathtaking, and the hot breakfast served right to my room every morning was a perfect way to start the day. The service was truly outstanding — every staff member was so kind, welcoming, and always had a smile on their face. They were always ready to help with anything I needed. Room service was also fantastic — I highly recommend trying the chicken tagliatelle, it was delicious! Overall, it’s a solid 10/10 experience, and I honestly can’t wait to come back soon!

Featuring a magnificent outdoor pool and a restaurant, the 5-star NEMA Design Hotel & Spa - Adults Only offers accommodation in Analipsi of Hersonissos. The resort features a private sandy beach. Free WiFi is available in all areas. Best hotel I've been to. 5 star employees. I don't think I've ever been treated so well as at the Nema Hotel. The facilities, the food, the location are excellent. And again, the employees are always willing to help and go beyond expectations. When I return to Crete I will stay at Nema 100% I was sorry to leave. It was a fantastic week

With magnificent sea views from a rocky headland above Aghios Nikolaos Bay, this adults-only resort blends together all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.

Take time out to relax by the swimming pool or rest by the lapping waves of the hotel's private beach, where you can try various water-sports. Every aspect of this building and surroundings was beautifully designed, there’s an amazing view from practically everywhere. The lobby, bars and restaurants are beautiful and inviting, modern yet in perfect harmony with the natural environment. The room and bed was big and incredibly comfortable, perfect view of the sea and everything was clean and welcoming all the time. The yoga instructors were amazing, there are lessons 2 times a day in beautiful locations, as well as a fully equipped gym, as well as a nice trail to run to the near town. The private beach is amazing, and the whole resort is full of beautiful comfy sunbathing beds and spots that look over the sea. The service is one of the best i’ve seen- there’s an easy app that helps you order drinks and food anywhere you want. The food in this place is absolutely fantastic, that goes for all meals and especially the menu dinner although very pricey. the breakfast buffet is rich and vast and one of the best activities of the day(: The strongest point of all was the amazing, friendly and helpful staff, so considerate and warm and available everywhere, they really make the whole experience!

Featuring a garden, a restaurant as well as a bar, Elysia Boutique Hotel is located in the centre of Chania Town, 1 km from Koum Kapi Beach. This 5-star hotel offers a concierge service and a tour desk. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. An absolute gem of a place in one of the most picturesque street of Chania! The hotel is beautifully designed with lots of wood and tiles. The rooms are super comfortable with modern lightning and lots of amenities but what clearly deserves a 10 out of 10 is the charming and very professional staff. Manolis and Vasilis at the reception were super helpful with any of our questions and even arranged an emergency doctor's appointment. Dimitra's home baked cakes are a fantastic bonus to the already amazing breakfast and Demostenes welcome every morning charges you with extra energy! Clearly best hotel in Chania!
