Samaria by the Sea ★★★

Fata Morgana Studios & Apartments ★★★

"We stayed here for two weeks. The location is excellent, right above Orthi Ammos beach and in the centre of an olive grove. Our reception was warm and friendly and we had no issues whatever during our stay. The apartment was very clean and everything worked properly including the air conditioning, ceiling fan, Wi-Fi and TV. There was plenty of hot water and the shower pressure was good. The large bed was comfortable and sleep quality was high; we slept with the patio doors open every night. There are good fly screens on every window: we had no issues with mosquitos. There was adequate tableware and enough kitchen equipment to prepare simple meals - we made breakfast and lunch ourselves and had dinner out most days. Basically, an excellent self-catering apartment. There is a useful supermarket about 1 km away which, though tiny, carries all the stock we could possibly have needed. Fata Morgana loans sun umbrellas and beach towels which was very helpful. Take some string to tie the umbrellas to stones if the wind is strong. Our apartment was on the ground floor and had a small balcony with table and chairs. It felt very private. The rooms have all been recently refurbished and upgraded; the design of our room was very good, with lots of matching curtains and sunblinds. A car is essential here. The route through the mountains from Chania is not as difficult as it would appear from a map. The beach is sandy and shelves very gently so swimming, or playing in the water, felt very safe. Access is via a sand dune that becomes really hot, so bring suitable footwear. However, when the strong meltemi or etesian wind blows the beach can be uncomfortable - as with all Greek islands in the Aegean. We definitely recommend Fata Morgana. "

Gigilos ★★★

"Het hotel was een goede kamer, een goede kamer, een goede kamer, een goede kamer, een goede kamer. Op mijn laatste dag verliet mijn ferry niet tot 17.30 en ik werd toegestaan mijn kamer te houden tot dan zonder extra kosten. Absoluut prachtige echte mensen zal ik zeker weer blijven."

Livikon by the Sea ★★★

"Excellent hotel with fabulous customer service. Ferry was late, very few taxis on Easter, driving an hour and a half in the dark on winding roads on a very long day by myself. I was due to arrive late and I called to tell them that. They did not have my reservation. They worked with me to get a room after hours. Rooms are renovated, cute balcony, ocean side, very peaceful in this cute town. Would absolutely stay again."

VENTUS Luxury Suites ★★★

"Perfect location in this corner of heaven. From check in to check out the service was amazing. The room was lovely, comfy bed, kitchen and awesome shower. Don’t use the hot tub but with a beach on the doorstep why would you!"

Sfakian Horizon ★★

"Het hotel ligt op 5 minuten lopen van de heuvel van het restaurantgebied van Sfakian, parkeerplaats is voor het hotel. We hadden een kamer met balkon en een mooi uitzicht op de zee, de meubels waren zeer eenvoudig, maar alles werkte goed. Ontbijt was oké. Er is een zwembad, maar we hebben het niet gebruikt."

Sweet Corner Masxali ★★★

"Avoid at all costs... terrible welcome, dirty room, broken sink, lamp with a spider 🕷, unusable kettle with a strong smell of petroleum, unusable fan full of dust, electric hob connections held together with tape. And the worst part is that to avoid a bad review on ***********, this man told *********** that we hadn't come for our stay and charged us an extra 20 euros for a third person. So we paid 85 + 20 for 2 nights, while on all other booking sites the hotel was listed at 41 euros for 3 people on that date. On the day of arrival, someone came to pick us up in a very dirty car, with engine oil in the trunk and stained seats. In the end, it was better to walk. Honestly dishonest... So be very careful ⚠️ because we had booked a 2-bedroom apartment which apparently doesn't exist; we were given a 1-bedroom apartment with a bed in the kitchen. 🙈🙈🙁 We know Agia Roumeli very well and will not be returning to this establishment. Paying more than 50 euros in this part of Crete is generally considered luxury, but this place was old, dirty, and low-end. We do not recommend it at all."
