Agios Nikolaos hotellia

Plussat: We only stayed here for 2 nights as we were on holiday closer to Chania. We were showing family around as we had visited Elounda before. This hotel was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The staff (particularly Clio) were very friendly and welcoming. This is an ideal location on a great bus route which we used to go to Ag Nic for a day. The pool area was nicely set out and plenty of sun beds for everyone. Best of all it had the most amazing views. I would definitely stay here again without a doubt ❤️

Miinukset: On a very steep hill which is not for everyone, but to get the best place in Elounda beautiful it was a small price to pay.

Plussat: The view was amazing, the hosts were brilliant and the town was very cultural.

Miinukset: The hill .... cardiac hill

Plussat: Excellent Host, wonderful property. Amazing views of the Elounda Bay. Excellent Location, very close to the center. Personal touch by the hosts in arranging excellent food.

Miinukset: The approach road to the property is not great, steep climb and difficult to navigate. Best is to call the hosts and they will guide you.

Plussat: Small, Friendly with smashing views

Miinukset: Steep hill for access

Plussat: There was nothing we didn’t like and the whole experience exceeded our expectations, we will definitely return and also recommend to our friends

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent location, facilities and staff. Could not ask for a better hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Positive atmosphere, gorgeous gardening, homemade food.Fanatsaticview

Plussat: Our experience exceed our expectations: the food, the location, the cleanliness, everything. The team was specially friendly and nice, they took care of every detail. I strongly recommend!

Plussat: Elounda Heights is like no other place we have ever stayed, it had everything you would expect from a holiday apartment, clean, comfortable, beautiful sea views, but the charm of this place and the wonderful staff exceded all of our expectations. We were given a genuine warm welcome and made to feel special from day 1. We were pleasantly suprised to find everyday there was either a special event, from stargazing to a meze night with entertainment and most days a special of the day in their excellent restaurant all lovingly homecooked. A particular highlight for us was the meze night where we experienced the Cretan culture with traditional meze dishes and Cretan dancers followed by a DJ. Another thing to appreciate was the calm tranquility of the pool area with truly stunning views over the bay with a relaxed pool bar where we enjoyed cocktails and delicious snacks. We don't have a bad word to say about this place, Natalie, Kostas and all the team there are truly a fantastic group of people who made an already special week for us even more wonderful with certain personal extra details. We can't reccommend enough and would love to return one day.

Plussat: The whole environment was friendly and it appears to have largely repeat business which is the best. Nice touch with activities.

Miinukset: Steepness of hill plus access from main town

Plussat: All in all a really nice luxurious destination. The staff are great, the food is superb, and the accommodation first class.

Miinukset: The main pool was on the cold side. This wasn't helped by the stiffish breeze which was around for most of the week I guess, but it could do with being warmer. Ditto the private pool by the room which we opted for; so cool that we didn't actually go into it more than once. Not a huge amount of evening entertainment available, if that's what floats your boat. A bit disappointed that when I asked for a later check out time by 2 or 3 hours, the answer was yes but the fee would be 50 euros. A bit nigardly I felt.

Plussat: Amazing place with great private beach and swimming pools. The rooms with the private pool is very good. The stuff is very nice and helpful. The spa area is in high standards.

Miinukset: The hotel need to provide more drivers to the electric car transfers. The stuff is great

Plussat: The location is gorgeous, the food is excelent, the beach and its bar are a superb chillout area and the quality of the service orientation from all the staff is of a very high standard!

Miinukset: Nothing to point out

Plussat: The beach is just beautiful with a crystal clear turquoise water, the staff is very friendly. We really had a wonderful time

Miinukset: Sometimes it gets to much windy, we had couple of days when the wind was so strong that it was unpleasant to be at the beach.

Plussat: The hotel was perfect for a relaxation and recharging batteries. It is a large complex, which at the time of our stay in July 2019 was fully booked, but you could not feel this. It was my first experience with luxury accommodation and I did receive full value for money. The property is beautiful, with relaxing music everywhere and staff ready to assist you with any request, but not being intrusive. Great food, great serving stuff, great spa. Loved the fact that they also had local cats on the property :-) The weather was quite windy during our stay, but it was still possible to swim in the sea. The beach is private and very clean. Definitely, a place that I will come back to.

Plussat: The location was just amazing, the room and its private pool and the facilities. It was just perfect.

Miinukset: The only things we didn't like was the quality of the food in the Taverna restaurant was very poor compared to other restaurants we've been in Crete during our journey. It was 3 times more expensive and the service was very poor.

Plussat: I like the resort very much ... The stuff are very nice,friendly, kindly & helpful ... The sea view is stunning and beautiful ... Great idea with transportation by golf car ... The restaurant (Taverna) delicious and had amazing variety of choices everyday ... The room is very clean and spacious ... The beach is amazing with very clean water

Miinukset: The pool is cold and not heated ... Other than this was amazing and everything is great

Plussat: Good breakfast selections. Nice, clean resort with beautiful views and a private beach.

Miinukset: Some dinner options too expensive for the quality of the food served. Limited shade options by the main pool or at the beach. Chasing sun loungers can be a nuisance especially if you are travelling with small children....

Plussat: Amazing hotel and staff. Clean rooms and top quality food. Great views.

Miinukset: Everything was great.

Plussat: The amazing view clean room everyone was very nice and helpful

Miinukset: We loved everything

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen, erittäin kaunis hotellialue ja hyvä huone!

Plussat: The location of the bungalow so close to the sea, you could hear the sea sat on you patio. The views were stunning. The garden at the hotel was an added bonus.

Miinukset: The breakfast was ok it wasn’t as good as I expected.

Plussat: People, service, location, wind. Felt like a boutique hotel but was quite large.

Miinukset: Dress code for restaurants were trousers! Should have been told beforehand.

Plussat: Amazing facilities, view and service. We came here for our honeymoon and it was exceptional! Exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend.

Plussat: We stayed 3 nights in one of the seafront bungalows, and it had incredible views from the patio and deck. The food at the various restaurants on the property were fantastic (we normally avoid hotel food whenever possible, though made an exception here). The staff was friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted or needed.

Miinukset: Only drawback was that the price is a bit high, though worth it in my opinion given the quality.

Plussat: Really nothing not to love. Special location and impeccable service. Natural beauty and well planned spaces were everywhere.

Miinukset: While practically perfect in every way, they could improve the gym resources. Nice gym location but more free weights and a few fixed weight machines would go a long way.

Plussat: - The food quality was really good,well cooked and tasty, with local produce used and fresh and healthy options provided, no frozen chips and calamari. Completely suitable for a fussy eater as well. However do let the Guest Relations team know if you have allergies like nuts and etc - they will provide alternatives if advised early enough. - Definitely recommend booking the sea view bungalows - the views are incredible. - The staff are superb, lively, funny, caring and professional - Delspina, Manos and George at Ibiscus Pool Bar, Stefanos and Marina at reception, Irini and Iannou (Spelling) at Guest Relations, Alcestis and Dayanna at the spa (excellent massages btw) The Housekeeping ladies and the restaurant staff. Also kudos to the chef that made me some fantastic alternative desserts due to my nut allergy! I may have listed some names incorrectly but yes I had a great time and some good conversations with each and every person mentioned, they really are great ambassadors for the hotel. - Well maintained grounds

Miinukset: - The gym needed a little bit more love and weight equipment - also more music variety. Love 80s soul but not the best training motivator! - I am not sure that this is a good place to stay for anyone who has limited mobility or visual impairment as lighting is very minimal across some areas of the grounds. There are some ramps and buggies for transporting people and luggage around the site (as it is vast) but with steps up to bungalows or down to sun loungers/terraces it may be a challenge. - Beautiful settings but just a little pricey - however I would and will definitely go back - The entertainment, what I experienced on the one night I stayed at the outdoor lounge with a DJ playing was more 'mood setting' than engaging. It's a place to relax and apparently listen to a Lisa Stansfield mix or two!

Plussat: Location Territory/garden Sea Staff Breakfast

Miinukset: Old room Old beach facilities Variety of food in bars

Plussat: Our meals were excellent - a wide selection of items from both the breakfast and dinner buffet and from the a la carte menus for lunch and dinner, but breakfast was the highlight for us. Location was ideal - close enough to walk to Agios Nikolaos, but just far enough to keep the traffic away and maintain privacy for guests. Front desk staff were kind enough to upgrade our room and bring our family of five together for our stay in a two bedroom villa - beautiful room on the water with a private pool. Wonderful hotel and deserving of the SLH designation.

Miinukset: Only complaint I have is the old grumpy gentleman serving guests at Bacchus - it was clear he was less than happy with his job.

Plussat: The hotel is absolutely amazing, everything was first class from the moment we arrived to our checkout home. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and tranquil and the staff are all helpful and make you feel very welcome. We would definitely return here next time we visit Crete.

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Plussat: Amazing stay! The hotel is amazing, the buffet is amazing, the sea WOW !

Miinukset: The furniture in the main building rooms are a bit outdated for a 5* but still it was not a problem, the hotel itself is beautiful and the room terrace is huge

Plussat: Ympäristö ja henkilökunta, rakennukset

Miinukset: Ala carte ravintolat eivät vastanneet paikan muuta tasoa

Plussat: The location was excellent, very close to everything.

Plussat: Buffet and cooked breakfast options

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent and huge, they have upgraded our room for free and we even got a very generous parting gift! What I liked best however is that they've made the effort of remembering our names and pronouncing them correctly, which is not easy for foreigners! Can't recommend them enough!

Miinukset: If we would come with the idea that we will spend most of the time in the hotel, we would probably mind that the pool is rather small for the number of guests staying in this hotel. However, we never use the pool when there is clean see available, so we didn't mind it :D.

Plussat: It was a pure joy to stay at this boutique hotel. Rooms were kept clean and were bright and airy , pool area was lovely and relaxing .Anna , Adonis , Sofia and rest of the staff were all warm and welcoming people that went above and beyond to make your stay the best it could be .superb little hotel cannot recommend more.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff here were all so friendly and great with our young son. We really appreciated the tips from Anna on things to see and do locally and in the rest of Crete. Breakfast was amazing, with different home made cakes and treats every day.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff were helpful, kind and thoughtful

Plussat: The welcome on arrival was very nice with a cold drink and lots of information. Anna and Adonis couldn't do enough for you. Also Sophia in the bar was very friendly and helpful. Our Room 206 was very large and everything needed was provided also 3 balconies and great views.

Miinukset: In the shower the floor is slippy and could do with a non slip mat.

Plussat: Breakfast could be included in the price to make it more competitive with other options and compared to all Inclusive packages at nearby facilities.

Plussat: The staff were fantastic and couldn't help us enough. The room was ideal for a family and very comfortable and clean. The hotel was ideally located and just a short walk to the shops and local restaurants etc.

Plussat: The staff were exceptionally friendly! Complimentary gifts and drinks were a lovely touch. Rooms were very spacious. Air conditioning worked very well. Two balconies! Food and drinks around the pool were well-priced. Suites well situated to walk into Elounda. A very quiet and calm place to relax!

Miinukset: The suites are situated in gardens and as a consequence there were quite a few bugs flying around. On the day when the pool man was off they need to leave a net to fish out the bugs. Also umbrellas around the pool are fixed so you have to keep moving heavy beds to get in or out of shade.

Plussat: The resort is situated in a perfect spot beween Elounda and Agios Nikolaos. It’s a family resort and is wonderully built in a somewhat Cretan village style. The swimming pool is of a good size and the private beach is wonderful with an exotic touch of turquoise-blue water. The family room was of good size and had a kitchen where you can cook the basic foods.

Miinukset: My teenagers had some problem with the sofa bed which wasn’t that comfortable but that shouldn’t be problematic for younger children.

Plussat: Good facilities and well organised. Fantastic beach an pool. Short time, because they close al 7 p.m.

Miinukset: We were waiting another kind of room, because it is expensive and there were little things not according to this price. For instance, the mattress very old, the room for the kids small, and the shower got sunk with the shower.

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful: big pool, big and nice rooms and beautiful beach. colorful buildings and well maintained gardens.

Miinukset: The beds were not comfortable - as i was mention it to reception at the checkout - she was sorry yo hear it - ans said it was pity that i did not told her in advance so she could have replaced my mattress to something harder to my taste. You have to have car as it isolated from the city.

Plussat: This was our second visit to Candia Park. We love this hotel because of amazing beach (it is especially good for kids, the water is warm, no high waves) and wonderful little towns (Agios Nikolaos, Elounda village) situated nearby where you can spend your evenings dining, walking and enjoying the view.

Miinukset: Pillows are too firm. Breakfast could be better.

Plussat: Excellent location, the beach and the swimming pool. The Kids club was outstanding open from 10 am to 9 pm with qualified staff. Our daughter was delighted.

Miinukset: The beds were not very comfortable. Sometimes the waiters do not seem to be on top of everything. The food is average.

Plussat: Great location, excellent facilities and pool, great staff, not crowded, nice rooms

Miinukset: The bad is not comfortable. After communicating with the office, they brought another matress to put on the bed and this resolved the problem. Breskfest is OK, but variaty can be improved

Plussat: Very nice hotel between Agios Nikolaos and Elounda. Lovely houses all painted in different colors arranged like a village. There’s everything on site: supermarket, launderette, spa, restaurants and sport facilities. We loved being able to do waterski and scuba diving. Plus the pools are great for all ages, there is a pool bar and the beach is just there too. Great view from our room. Very friendly staff. We would definitely go back.

Miinukset: The beds were not comfortable neither were the pillow and the appartement a bit small for 4: with the kids beds we couldn’t open the terrasse door properly. Next time we will ask for a bigger one.

Plussat: Staff went above and beyond with all our requests. Assisted with booking a Ferry for the day to santorini and even sorted a late 3 pm check out as our flight was quite late. The kids absolutely loved the beach. They spent hours snorkelling in the calm resort beach cove. The resort is close to so many wonderful villages including Aghios Nikolaos. Loved that there was a great supermarket for all our basic needs. Family friendly, great location, clean, wonderful outdoor space, kids club...ticked all the boxes

Miinukset: Only wish the cafe at reception was open for morning coffee...such a beautiful view over the water and resort. It opens at 6pm.

Plussat: We loved this resort! Excellent pools, fabulous private beach, lovely property. Our family had a truly special holiday here. Will certainly be recommending and returning here!

Miinukset: Beds are hard and pillows too thick

Plussat: Perfect place. friendly staff.

Plussat: Very calm and relaxing location just facing Mirabello bay. Only several villas at big enough territory so the guest do not interfere with each other. Very nice and friendly hosts Vasilis and Manolis (thank you! :)). Great swimming at private beach observing sea life among stones (+ opportunity to get to other beaches, e.g. with sand in nearby villages). As well the villas is an excellent location to travel to other places of East Crete and South Crete (of course, you need to rent a car). We had two bedroom + living room villa. Each bedroom had air conditioner, kitchen was well equipped, living room is really great by size and decoration.

Plussat: The welcoming staff could not be any more helpful. The stunning views from our balcony makes us want to come back next year.

Miinukset: It was perfect

Plussat: Traditional Greek accommodation - clean and well maintained with stunning views and in a beautiful location. So peaceful and a perfect relaxing holiday. I recommend the Cretan breakfast it was superb. Perfect base for exploring NE Crete but a car is essential. Good Tavernas at Amourada beach - only a two minute drive but perhaps a little too far to walk. Had a wonderful holiday thank you Villa Vangelis. Ps. WiFi worked fine.

Miinukset: Nothing but a car is essential.

Plussat: The layout of the villas was imaginative and very pleasant. Sea view and swimming pool view were also nice. Maintenance of the property was first rate. In particular attention to detail was excellent.

Miinukset: It's hardly fair to discuss beaches as Crete is rock. I went to Crete for the food and ambiance rather than sand.

Plussat: The setting of the property gave open sea views towards Agios Nikolaos. Ample free parking. Generous and tasty breakfast. Lovely pool. Easy access to Agios Nikolaos restaurants. Welcoming and departing gifts were unexpected but much appreciated from a helpful, friendly host.

Miinukset: Terrace and rooms did not get a lot of sunshine later on in the day.

Plussat: Vangelis Villas is an oasis of peace right at the sea with only a few buildings; good sea access (with a few sunbeds and umbrellas also available right at the sea); great location for breakfast (if you don't want to have it in the apartment); very friendly and welcoming staff

Miinukset: Don't expect a modern place - you can tell that the villas and facilities have been around for quite a few years (but was not a problem for us); we had villa number 1, which has not a very good view (sea view mostly blocked by the reception/office building)

Plussat: Location, location, location! Owner/staff Size of accommodation Cleanliness

Miinukset: Nothing at all Would recommend and visit again without hesitation

Plussat: The villas are located in a beautiful location directly at the coast. It is a luxurious feeling to wake up to the sound of waves and see the sun rising from the blue. The villas are hidden from traffic and the road but are a 5-8 min. drive to Agios Nikolaus. You could even walk to the nearest beach (Ammoudara) with tavernas if you prefer. The villa was clean, beautiful, and exceeded our expectation. We got cleaning service every couple of days so that was a surprise. There as air conditioning in the bedrooms. There was even fruit, water, and milk left in the refrigerator as a welcome gift. Also, you can eat dinner at the villa if you request it a day in advance. They serve all the local foods/cuisine. The huge breakfast (also request a day before) was sumptuous and very filling. It does cost 10 Euros per person (adult/children). However, the cost is perfectly reasonable as to what is provided. There is also a bar on site so you could have your fill of whatever you desire. The salt water pool was always clean. There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas so you can lounge at the pool all day. Or you can step down and swim in the sea. The best of both worlds! Wish we could vacation there every year. But if we return, we will definitely stay at Villa Vangelis. Thank you, Manolis!

Miinukset: Nothing. Be back again.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Manolis was super helpful and bar staff were great

Miinukset: Constant pounding of the house music could probably be toned down, at the pool, was pretty annoying actually:)

Plussat: We have had an amazing holiday the three of us (2 adults, 1 daughter of 6). We had room number 1 which was located on the ground floor with garden/seaview. It was clean, really nice decorated and equipped with everything we needed. Manolis was a great host, answering all questions, recommended some nice restaurants and even surprised us with a small breakfast one day. As we had a late flight, he arranged we could make use of the bathroom of another apartment (number 6, supernice as well, great view!) to fresh up before we left. Location was great, 20 minute walk to city center (we recommend Riga restaurant at the lake, don’t order too much, portions are hugh!) and near a very nice, shallow beach and a refreshing creek. Pool was super, music at the bar relaxed and not too loud (we were located next to it). Thank you for having us, we will definitely recommend this place!

Miinukset: Everything was great, thank you!

Plussat: We had a great apartment with a beautiful view over the bay. Close to the large pool and close to the beach with a cool freshwater river that connects with the sea. The apartment was spacious with 2 bedrooms and a living room and it had a well equipped kitchen and a large balcony facing the sea. The host Manolis was very friendly and accommodating and made us feel very welcome from the very beginning. We enjoyed our short visit at this property and would without a doubt come back again. I can recommend a stay at this property.

Plussat: We spent 7 perfect days in Almiros Sand in June’19 with our children (9 and 1,8 years). We had a room on the 1st floor with beautiful green terrace and breathtaking sea view. Apartments were just perfect: so much space, light and beautiful details In interior! It was clean and fully equipped with all necessary things to cook and to have perfect holidays. Manolis was so friendly and sweet! He recommended us beautiful places to visit, helped us to find a car to rent

Miinukset: Everything was just perfect ❤️

Plussat: Good location of a hotel. Good opportunity to select the place to refresh - in a hotel's pool, in a sea, or in a small river near the hotel.

Miinukset: Be aware of insects, the provided anti-mosquito devices don't help. Cleaning women can decide themselves what is a garbage to collect, even if it's in your bag in a room.

Plussat: very nice Appartment in a beautiful landscape. Everything perfect :-) 5*

Plussat: The apartment was attractive, comfortable, spacious and very clean. The location next to the beach was great. Both Manolis and the housekeeper were very friendly. We had pretty high expectations given the very positive reviews from others, but even then, it exceeded our expectations. We recommend this place whole-heartedly.

Plussat: Very welcoming, polite and knowledgeable host, with excellent English. Great balcony, large with super sea and beach view. Lovely well tended garden. Easy access to beach and pool and plenty of parking. We used this as a base for hiking in East Crete using the excellent Sunflower guides, the location was great for this, and we had a super time.

Miinukset: Coming home to UK weather!

Plussat: Modern and good view

Miinukset: The double bed was very hard

Plussat: Only stayed for three nights, it was clean and the guy on reception was very friendly and helpful. We had a sea view and the apartment was quite spacious as we had a superior one. Beach is a 5 minute walk and is kept clean, bar staff were friendly and the pool area was very clean

Miinukset: It was a 45 minute walk into the main town which was a bit far. Walk isn’t particularly scenic either. We were right next to the bar so music could be heard and I imagine this would be a problem in high season, we were lucky it was quiet. We could hear people in the apartment above as well.

Plussat: Todella siisti huoneisto uimarannan vieressä. Tilavat ja hyvinvarustetut huoneet. Naapurihotellin tilavalla uima-allasalueella sai olla, kunhan osti baarista jotain. Omistaja (?) oli todella kohteliais ja auttavainen!

Miinukset: Kaupunkiin oli 20 min kävelymatka, osa reitistä valaisematonta. Hotellin ruokalistalta ei löytynyt perinteisiä kreikkalaisia herkkuja.

Plussat: Relaxed approach of staff. Fine balance between peaceful time and not forced to participate in entertainment. Apartments spaced so good privacy

Miinukset: Some of the external woodwork is rotting. Auto curtains and blinds were not 100%

Plussat: The owner helps everybody, everytime and is an amazing person. The staff is well trained and very friendly. The place is fantastic.

Miinukset: I liked everything

Plussat: Fantastic location, Great restaurants, Loverly pools, Private beach, Beautiful rooms and villas with outstanding coastal views, The staff were great, One of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in,

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A relaxing resort in a lovely location

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Facilities, and service were amazing. Whilst on our honeymoon they made a number of additional offerings to make us feel special.

Miinukset: Quality of food and price. The quality of the meat in dishes was unlike the fish which was excellent. Price is disproportionate to the poor food quality. They could also do with playing some light / relaxing music around the poor. The deathly silence creates some discomfort / worry at the thought of coughing.

Plussat: Room, views, breakfast, location, spa and helpful staff.

Miinukset: The mirror in the bathroom was dated/dirty, bed not comfortable enough and hardly any young geasts.

Plussat: Great place in a very good location to visit est. South Est of Creta. Wonderful service leaded by rhe very high professional and kind Nicos Demetzos:))

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely quiet resort. Pleasant hotel, good food and very friendly staff

Miinukset: I feel that the room needed refurbishment

Plussat: We loved staying at St Nicolas Bay Resort because everything was extremely clean, well planned and the staff were not only exceptionally helpful but they were always happy and appeared to enjoy their job including the people at reception, the dinning staff and even the lovely girls who cleaned the rooms. The complimentary bottle of champagne, cakes in the fridge and chocolates each evening left on the bed was a very thoughtful gesture.

Miinukset: Only a small thing but there were no drawers to put clothes away, only hanging space. I like to take my things out of the case if stating more than a night

Plussat: Nice place to stay for a short vacation with kids and all the staff tried their best to help or provide what you need..

Plussat: Very nice view altough hotel is located near really noisy street and we found it a bit distutbing at night for example. The staff is frienldy and advised us whenever we askef for help

Plussat: The view is amazing, the staff are friendly. They even had water and little cakes in the fridge for me. The beds are very comfy.

Plussat: good location on the sea front .good value for money.

Miinukset: all was fine

Plussat: Everything was perfect!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Lovely, helpful host, and great ocean views, close to town centre. Very nice simple breakfast is a low cost extra if wanted.

Miinukset: Parking can be a bit tricky in the street when things are busy, but we always found something pretty close.

Plussat: Hospitality and location. Very clean and accommodating.

Plussat: Nice location, close to the clean beach. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Miinukset: Poor Internet connection

Plussat: Staff was really nice and helpful both before and during our stay. The hotel was overall very clean and the view excellent. We would love to go back next year

Plussat: This was the perfect hotel for the ones who are coming to travel west part of crete! Perfect location, exellent view (it was litterally breath taking. We stayed one of the rooms who are on the seafront!) we must say that it was extremely clean! Cleanest that we ever stayed!!! Staff was extremely helpfull and friendly! We recommend to all thinking of to stay in Agai Nicholas. Just don’t go with those hotels near the lake! Lake itself is actually really small and you’ll be amazed if you stay at Victoria to have the whole sea in front of you!!

Miinukset: Nothing actually! I was thinking to ask for a bag for dirty clothes and when we came to room it was already there with our dirty clothes in it we didn’t even ask!!

Plussat: The hotel is in an optimal location, overlooking the sea, close to the beach and a few meters away from the harbour and the center. The property is well served, clean and the staff is welcoming, kind and always helpful. Also, in the middle of the week, the staff made us find a bottle of wine and pastries in the fridge as a gift. We stayed at the Victoria Hotel for a week and it was a really good choice.

Plussat: Excellent staff - very accommodating. Lovely food and perfect location to the beach. Great family holiday and would recommend. Great location for sunset and relaxing with the children. Thanks for s lovely stay.

Miinukset: We had issues with aircon and shower on arrival but the staff purchased and fixed both promptly. Living area in apartment didn't have windows.

Plussat: Comfortable beds, friendly staff, pool & poolbar. Great location.

Plussat: Loved the views. Rooms very nice and staff excellent. Food good too. Will return next spring

Miinukset: A microwave would have been useful.

Plussat: Everything excellent

Plussat: A great family run authentic Greek hotel Superb location and views Easy to get to Agios Nickolas and elounda

Plussat: Staff were amazing and so accommodating for everything. Very friendly and a really personal feel to the place - we felt very welcomed. Facilities were also fantastic - restaurant/bar; pool; access to the sea - so no real need to leave the property. Great views and very relaxed atmosphere.

Miinukset: Can't think of any improvements needed.

Plussat: Great value for.money accomodation in a fabulous location with amazing sea views. Friendly family run accomodation with onsite bar and restaurant. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers and we particularly enjoyed swimming off the accomations jetty each day

Plussat: Location with car parking. Specially welcoming helpful generous hosts willing to help with anything at all.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Location great, full apartment with small kitchenette, friendly helpfulness of hosts was like family!

Plussat: Cosy little hotel with a good location and fantastic staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The appartments was thoughtfully designed and laid out and was spaciaous. The owners are charming and it's situated in very quiet streets a short walk away from the sea, the centre of town and its famous lagoon.

Plussat: Owners are super friendly. Appartment was comfortable and clean. Position was great.

Miinukset: All was fine. No problems. Nothing to say.

Plussat: Wonderful hosts, spacious flat, nice view and great location. Thank you so much for a really lovely stay!

Miinukset: Bed is a bit narrow and because the aircondition is in the livingroom it takes a while to cool down the bedroom. Apart from these details, everything was truly great!

Plussat: We loved the family feel nothing was too much trouble everything else top notch glad we revisited !

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: Great, friendly and helpful owners. Very good location. Nice balcony with view on the bay.

Miinukset: No any negative points. Appartment was a little old, but all was functioning well.

Plussat: Costas, Maria, and Julita were sooo sweet! They made us a lovely cup of Greek coffee the morning after we arrived and took the time to tell us about the region -- what we should see, where we might eat, where we'd be ripped off. The apartment was lovely! It was spacious, beautiful, comfortable, and generally far exceeded our expectations. It's a 2 minute walk from some very nice restaurants and a lovely beach, and a 5-10 minute walk from the main part of town. We had a wonderful stay!!!

Plussat: Beautiful view! The hosts were very kind. They checked in with us to make sure all of our needs were addressed. They were very nice.

Plussat: Quiet peaceful with friendly personal service and a beautiful pool

Plussat: The athmosphere at the hotel was most delightful. It was peaceful, beautyful and friendly. We were looking for a relaxing and quiet holiday and that is exactly what we got. The staff was most helpful and made our staying very pleasant. The morning buffet had everything we needed but the evening buffet had even more. There were planty to choose for even those of us who were vegetarians. Also the pool area was nice and also the beach was near by. Room service was perfect and all in all the whole hotel and the apartment where we stayed were very clean and fresh.

Miinukset: Our apartment was big and spacious with a nice balkony but we missed more hooks on the walls to hang our staff and towels.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast and dinner. Clean swimming pool. Reception staff great!

Miinukset: Dinner time slot could be later to avoid coming back from the beach in a rush (it finished at 9 pm)

Plussat: We stayed at the Angela Boutique Suites Hotel in Sisi for 10 days in early October. We were actually accommodated in the Annex, which is just across the road from the main building, as stated in the booking information. We had full access to the main hotel and its facilities. The hotel staff were lovely and very kind. We used the steam room and sauna in the main hotel, but these had to be activated for us by the staff. They are obviously not used very often? Our room (410) would be probably rated as two to three stars and, to be fair, was a pretty basic white box. However, it was clean and there was a nice garden view from the small balcony. The TV never worked, but we didn’t mind. There were recurring problems with the flow and temperature of the hot water, which never really got sorted and do remember to bring your own toiletries, there is only basic body wash in the shower. We stayed on a B&B basis and the breakfasts were ok, but basic, being served in the main building. Don't expect 5 stars! We tried one evening meal in the hotel, but were not really impressed. However, there are several tavernas in Sissi and we had several lovely meals. The local beach is fine and safe, if the wind is not too severe, but do bring ( or buy locally ) beach shoes if you want to avoid the pain of pebbles! There is a much better lovely sheltered sandy beach, ideal for children, in the next cove east. However, it has been reserved by a big hotel complex, but if you walk around the coast from Sissi, ( 10 mins ), they let you have use of their sun umbrellas etc. for 10 euros /day. We hired a small car, which made sense, as the taxi from Heraklion would have been 60 euros each way and we had the use of the car for all our stay for 187 euros, plus 40 euros for the fuel! Easy parking too! All in all, a lovely holiday!

Miinukset: No choice of toiletries in the room and inconsistent hot water.

Plussat: A really friendly hotel with a lovely pool and restaurant, great staff and very clean rooms and communal areas.

Miinukset: I tried to use the gym a few times but couldn't stay long as it was really hot - 30 degrees celsius even with the air conditioning on!! Everything else in the hotel was great though and we all had a lovely stay in Crete.

Plussat: We booked very last minute (the morning of the stay) and stayed in the apartments opposite the hotel, which was a very short walk over a quiet road. The rooms were situated around a beautifully kept garden and it was in quiet area. The bedroom as large and airy. The hotel itself was lovely. A nice restaurant, bar and in particular, the pool area was great - quiet with nice sunbeds and a bar at hand. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: The bath was tiny and had a shower over. To use the shower, you had to wrestle with the shower curtain as there was so little space. Would be better just to have a shower.

Plussat: The only disadvantage was so many stairs to our room.

Plussat: Breakfast and dinner were great. we are both vegetarian and had a lot of tasty options. The pool was amazing, you can stay there all day. quite and peaceful, but also not too quite. we took an apartment room which is a great way to lower the price and still enjoy everything this hotel has to offer, just less fancy.

Miinukset: In dinner there are no drinks served, which forces you to order drinks. I think it will be fair to offer regular tap water in the buffet.

Plussat: The hotel is a gem and one that I cannot fault in anyway. What made the hotel particularly good was the staff. They work so hard, their attention to detail is amazing and they always went that extra yard to make our day more special. In particular, Marinella and Anna, who ran the bar area during the day, did so with perfection and Kladj also went to great lengths make us fantastic cocktails every evening. Breakfast was varied and plentiful and we enjoyed many delicious lunches by the pool. There were also always plenty of free sunbeds whatever time we went to sit by the pool. No need to reserve them. All areas are kept spotlessly clean. All in all a perfect hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Personal was very friendly. Rooms have enouhg space with a lot of space for clothes and personal things in wardrobes. Very nice hotel restaurant. We had only breakfast which we were satisfied with. Clean and nice swimming pool with sunshades and comfortable sunbeds. Very quiet place.

Miinukset: Lack of dishes (fe. rooms for 4 people but only 3 glases in kitchen, not knife for cooking, etc.). Two rooms with beds but AC only in one of them. Time limited access to hotel swiming pool, from 9:00 to 19:00 only. Any nice beach nearby.

Plussat: The location is perfect and you can generally find somewhere close by to park. Good breakfast and lovely staff.

Miinukset: Stayed before and had an amazing room, unfortunately this time it was not so well laid out, with far too many chairs and an uncomfortable bed, plus a little dark as only has a very small balcony on the side giving a restricted sea view.

Plussat: Pieni mukava hotelli hyvällä paikalla, uimaranta 20 m päässä. Voi mennä aamu-uinnille suoraan hotellista.. Aamupala oli ihan OK, vaikkakin joka aamu sama setti pöytään tarjoiltuna. Ystävällinen ja palvelualtis henkilökunta. Huone Kannattaa varata hyvissä ajoin.

Miinukset: Kylppärissä ei ollut suihkuverhoa eikä suihkukahvan pidikettä seinässä. Lämmintä vettä oli tarjolla niinä päivinä kun aurinko paistoi.

Plussat: The bed was very comfy! We had breakfast on the terrace with a lovely sea view. The breakfast was delicious and it was served to the table by the very friendly hostess.

Plussat: Location....close to harbor and pebble beach.

Miinukset: Two out often rooms in this hotel do NOT have a view of the water—we were stuck in one of the two dark rooms! The bathroom was very small and tight even for Greece. Also, the tub should have handles so as not to slip and fall getting in and out. We did like the great restaurant (forgot the name) around the corner offf the harbor walk from the hotel. Our waiter was wonderful.

Plussat: The staff are welcoming and wonderful! The hotel itself is clean and well appointed, having everything you need on site. It's well located too, with a great beach just steps from the front door

Plussat: The location is unbelievably great. Awesome view from balcony, nice beach with crystal-clear water just a few steps away, and everything more or less in the town centre! Service by Joanna was great in all respects.

Miinukset: Overall, not much to criticize. There was noise in the evening and in the morning, but this can be cut off by closing the windows. The double bed was placed with one side to the wall, so to get out you had to climb over the other person, but if you do not like that you can use the extra bed provided.

Plussat: Across the street from the beach. Ocean view. Great included breakfast, served on the hotel veranda. Helpful staff, Johana the receptionist couldn’t hav been better. Shower was very powerful and hot.

Miinukset: The bed was a little small (full size)

Plussat: Nice central location, swimming beach opposite hotel. Apartment and balcony nice; staff very friendly

Miinukset: Some noise at night from restaurant underneath; mattress quite hard

Plussat: Everything! Adorable apartment right on the beach! The best beach In Agios Nikolaos! Joanna is amazing! She recommended the best restaurants, supplied a map, answered my zillion questions, made breakfast to order, stowed my bag while I enjoyed the beach my last day, and then arranged for a taxi to the bus station. Highlight of my trip! I’ve already recommended it to friends and hope to return some day!

Miinukset: I loved everything!

Plussat: Beautiful location with view of the bay from the balcony. Very nice amenities, good size, comfortable bed, wonderful check in staff.

Miinukset: No complaints at all.

Plussat: Location is super perfect. Angela at the reception is very cooperative and helpful.

Plussat: Location, beautiful views of Cretan sea & harbour & breakfast on our balcony.

Miinukset: The bathroom.

Plussat: Amazing location and view from our balcony. Very clean rooms, friendly staff who recommended nearby restaurants and beaches. Very responsive and attentive! We had a great one week stay in this charming boutique hotel.

Plussat: Kaikesta, jopa omankielinen vastaanotto. Oli suuri yllätys.

Miinukset: Musiikki ja melu viikonlopun yössä. (La-Su)

Plussat: We absolutely loved our stay here. The view from our balcony each morning, with breakfast was lovely. We couldn't have asked for a better view and great location. The staff there were so helpful and suggested some great places to eat. We were also so close to a great beach, just around the corner.

Miinukset: The beds and pillows could've been better but that's it.

Plussat: Room was really nice. People lovely too.

Miinukset: A bathplug!

Miinukset: Bit old and tired. Door to bedroom didn't close. Table wobbly in lounge. Needed to ask for more tea cups as only enough for 2. Bathroom gets soaked when shower. Better places to stay

Plussat: We didn't know what to accept. but was pleasantly surprised with the location. The balcony view was absolutely breathtaking. You just stepped outside and you had all the amenities on your doorstep. The room was clean, staff friendly and helpful. Parking was available. Our stay was excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff, especially Angela, were fabulous. And the location couldn't have been better.

Miinukset: Had I known that the suite we booked didn't have a view, I would have tried to book another suite. The air conditioner also stopped working, but accidents happen and the staff had it fixed immediately.

Plussat: Views & location

Miinukset: The mattress & no power point in the bathroom.

Plussat: Fantastic view, friendly host, lovely pool.

Miinukset: Limited parking.

Plussat: Host super lovely and helpful, the room was super big and with an amazing location. What an amazing price/quality hotel.

Miinukset: Low water pressure and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable.

Plussat: The owner was very helpful, polite and friendly.

Plussat: Great staff and amazing view from the apartment. Received recommendations for local experiences and spots to visit that made our trip even more culturally immersive.

Miinukset: We missed a towel or two from time to time - assuming it was in the laundry.

Plussat: Staff very friendly. Thank you.....

Miinukset: Bad

Plussat: An excellent place to stay, Great pool and sunrises. Photographers remember your camera. Dimitris was a fund of information on restaurants, beaches and other places to visit. It was our second visit to Ostria apartments and we certainly will be back again next year.

Miinukset: There is nothing I did not like.

Plussat: Our room was clean, large and had a wonderful view from the balcony. The modern shower was in particular much appreciated. Dimitris is a very friendly host with plenty of hints for good restaurants, day trips etc. We‘ll be back.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: A very nice view and quiet place Very good welcome from Dimitri

Miinukset: Small parking and difficult accès to it No breakfast available beginning of june

Plussat: The view was stunning, uninterrupted views of the sea. Pool excellent. Comfortable room which was really clean and the cleaner was so thorough. Demitrius the owner was so welcoming and helpful.

Miinukset: It was excellent but a parasol on the balcony would have been good as it so hot in the sun

Plussat: Dimitris know the good places and restaurants that you have to discover. He is a very friendly person.

Plussat: Great place for people who want to travel around , you wake up in the morning in front of the ocean ,and drink your coffee, the place is owned and held by a family,they are very friendly and generous. great return for the money if i return to crete i will definitly stay in Ostria apartments

Miinukset:

Plussat: Great location, pleasant staff, clean, Greek stylished equipment, exellent starting point to diskover east part of island

Plussat: Hillside location overlooking the sea. Very quiet and peaceful setting. Swimming in pool under stars at nite was perfect conclusion to our time in Crete. About 1 hr to Heraklion and airport by car. It was a well equipped apt for cooking and could easily accommodate 3 to 4 people. You definitely need a car to-reach the best beaches. Allowed late checkout as not crowded on cusp of high season.

Plussat: We loved the location in Ammoudara, we could walk to the beach and a few restaurants. The view was beautiful; we also enjoyed the pool and the porches for sitting out. Our apartment was very spacious with many conveniences. Karin was very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The bathroom fixtures need updating. We had trouble with the shower and the toilet, and the washing machine was not working when we were there. We were traveling for 18 days, so we were planning on using the washing machine. The property manager offered to do our laundry for us which was very nice, but we declined.

Plussat: Very nice and large flat with a beautiful view over the sea. Very good situation, close to Agios Nikolaos and a three minutes walking from a small, but lovely beach.

Miinukset: The kitchen ware could be newer. In the evening many mosquitos so that you hardly can sit outside on the large terrace for diner.

Plussat: That was very nice and comfortable hotel - two separate rooms + kitchen + owner. As it is small hotel then visitors will have personal service. If you like to cook something then this is possible. Kitchen equipment includes much much more than just three glasses and two plates. There is a stove, pots, pans, a toaster, a coffee maker etc. We used it only during the brakfast. Beach is 3 minutes to walk and there is also two tavernas. Hotel had also swimming pool but we didn't use it. Why? Swimming pools you can find also at home but we do not have blue Mediterranean Sea. Agios Nikolaos was 5....7 minutes to drive by car.

Miinukset: If I need to add here something then maybe mattress could be little softer.

Plussat: Everything was amazing! Karin and Martin are great, friendly people, always ready to help. It's nice to know that there are such people. We were very pleased to meet you. Thank you!

Miinukset: We liked everything.

Plussat: The apartment was spacious and well furnished. The location was right by the beach and a good restaurant.

Miinukset: There were a couple of things that needed updating like a leak on the cistern of the toilet and the mosquitoes were awful. We could not sit out on the veranda which was a shame.

Plussat: The kitchen was equipped and we prepared all our meals and ate on the beautiful balcony. We did grocery shopping from Agios Nikolaos and prepared food at home. Also there are good tavernas right on the beach. The hosts were great, Karin was so helpful and understanding. The pool was also enjoyable. The beach is just next to the residency and has a blue flag.

Miinukset: The moskitos were too much, we barely could sleep with open windows. Maybe it's because the residency is surrounded with dense green, with trees, flowers and bushes.

Plussat: very nice host friendly
