St. Nicolas Bay Resort lies on a private beachfront, 1.5 km from Agios Nikolaos. It features 2 outdoor, not heated, swimming pools (not heated) and a luxurious spa and wellness centre. Its stylish accommodation offers spectacular views of the charming Μirabello Bay.

The service was top notch. Everyone was helpful and answered any requests we had. We had half board and though previous comments said that the food was not good, I beg to differ. The breakfast was ample with lots of buffet options (hot and cold) as well as the menu (you could order omelets, and other items off the menu). Frappes and Fredo espressos were not problem. The setting at breakfast was beautiful overlooking the pool and ocean. One of the previous comments said that there weren't any Greek offerings at dinner. Being Greek-American, I thought the inclusive dinner options did a great job with an overall selection to appeal to everyone as well as classic Greek and Cretan options. Obviously, if one truly wants a true Cretan dining experience, then I recommend eating off property, but we ate both nights we stayed at the resort, and we all greatly enjoyed. I've been to many all-inclusive hotels in Mexico and the Caribbean and the food and drinks at this establishment were the best we've had. The hotel manager was always present, making rounds ensuring people were enjoying their stay. In fact, our son celebrated his birthday one night and the hotel staff provided a dairy-free cake (he's allergic to dairy) for his bday complete with candles! Lastly, the resort is beautifully and tastefully decorated. I greatly enjoyed walking around, taking in all the sights. The designers did an exceptional job making it feel very Greek island-esque with every nook and cranny having artwork or decorations.

Mantraki, a 3-star traditional family-run apartment complex, has a very convenient location, near Agios Nikolaos town center, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, but also 100 meters from the public sandy beach. Free WiFi is provided throughout.

I loved Maria & Costas! They are the best, they make sure you see and know everything about the city, opened the little church near the hotel just for me and even sang for me!! I just love them both, I’ve been traveling the entire world and never felt this energy! I totally recommend them, their hotel and I will definitely come back for a longer period! Forgot to add the wifi was great as well, I traveled for work and it was the best I’ve found on the island! ♥️

Just 200 metres from Elounda Beach in Crete, Elounda Krini Hotel features free WiFi, a restaurant and buffet breakfast. Rooms have a balcony overlooking the Cretan Sea and Spinalonga Island, or the mountains and pool.

The view from the room was amazing. The hotel is not located in a busy area so it was quite peaceful. You can also walk to the beaches nearby since it's not too far. The staffs were so helpful and nice.

Boasting an outdoor pool, Elounda Garden Suites Heated Pool offers tastefully decorated accommodation opening to a furnished balcony with mountain views. Set amidst a garden, it is 100 metres from Elounda centre. It has a restaurant and free Wi-Fi throughout.

We loved the Elonda Garden Suite Hotel. We liked the attitude of the staff, especially Kristina, the reception manager, who took care of all our needs and recommended places for trips. We loved the clean rooms, the lovely pool, the food, the proximity to the boat dock, the shops open until late and of course the amazing views, I recommend everyone who comes to Alonda to take this hotel. You will not be disappointed. One of the hotels in Alonda, if not the best 🌹💐❤️

    Extraordinary service, individual attention. Beautifully designed buildings and carefully tended mediterranean gardens. Stunning views, short walk to wonderful Almiros Beach, or just a few meters to a small private beach. Quiet, elegant, and relaxing. An unforgettable memory.

    The apartment has a great view and terrace. The interior design was beautiful. And last but not least - The host was super nice! We came in the late evening and he came for us to the bus station. That was a wonderful thing he did for us as we were very tired.

    The staff was very nice! Breakfast was good, the view and swimming pool is lovely! I like the feeling of a country side hotel with boutique design. The location is 7 min by car from the center of the town. So you need a car... The bed wasn't so comfortable but it was fine. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
