Even if the expectations were a bit high after reading the reviews and viewing the pictures, I cannot forget how I felt when I actually got there. I was overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the place and I felt very lucky to have discovered this gem. I don't know if any review or picture could actually describe how you feel there. And then it got better, every day. Everything was perfect: the beach, the bar, the food, and especially the people there. And the slow blues, of course 🙂. I cannot imagine I would stay anywhere else if I come back to Crete.

the blackout curtain doesn't stop sunshine coming through in the morning.

Location on the beach, very friendly hosts and atmosphere, nice restarurant and food. The whole family enjoyed our staying at Baladinos'. Kostas and his wife are very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely come back next time that we go to Crete.

Location is next to the sea (and easy to find)! Hygiene was 5+ and beds were comfortable. Kostas was very helpful with his advices. We will come back here, for sure!

THE BEST!!!THE VIBE AND AURA OF THE PLACE, I can’t explain it’s something more than just a hotel. Thank you so much Maria, Kostas, Julien, Othello, Maria’s mum and dad, ladies who helped with cleaning and cooking for making our stay great and welcoming. We stayed 40 days in Baladinos and we will definitely come back. Excellent apartments on the beach. I enjoyed sounds of sea waves all day long including night as apartments have nice balconies with a stunning view. You have to try their dishes as well, I have never ate such delicious Greek salad in my life as Baladinos restaurant has. Othello, the dog, I will miss him so much. He was always so kind with kids playing around. We felt like we stayed at friends house. I wish all the best to Baladinos team and thousands of kisses to Othello❤️ beds were very comfortable, cleaning was also great, the view, small kitchen — everything was on top. thank you once again

We’ve had a great stay at this place, in front of the beach. Maria and Kostas, amazing hosts, made us feel wonderful. There was no problem with late check in and when we arrived we really appreciated the welcome drink. Good Wi-Fi as well! Amazing food made for their family. Really recommended!

Baladinos Apartments is a magic place where you can relax, eating very good food, enjoying the company of the other guests and at the same time have the privilege to be very close to a beautiful beach. Maria & Costas are very friendly as well as all the family. They don’t treat you just as a customer but as a member of their family. They do all their best to meet all the requests and needs you can have because they really care to make you feel happy and most importantly to enjoy your holiday. Every evening before dinner you can admire the sunset and in the morning, if you wake up early, the sunrise. Besides, it is a peaceful place, the apartment are equipped and clean. Beds are comfortable. Really recommended!

The bathroom was a bit small.

The breakfast was great. It is located very close to the beach. And the people working there are extremely accommodating and friendly. I also highly recommend food there, both of us enjoyed our meal a lotl.

The appartment was clean and comfortable. Location is on the calm sand beach, near super market where we had everything we needed. Very kind staff. They gave us a lot of useful tips.

It is lovely home for holiday in great location: next to a big and not crowded beach, convenient to reach by public transport, several supermarkets located in walking distance, various and very delicious home made quality food (healthy and vegetarian friendly). Here we found everything what was needed for our relaxing week on the island and felt like visiting friends. We, two families with teenagers, were very warm welcomed by amazing hosts Maria and Kostas, who also kindly gave us useful tips, so we were able to travel without a car to all the places we wished, e.g. Falassarna, Elafonissi, Chania. We would like to comeback.

Location is very good. I had a conference at the Minoa palace so I walked but it was only 10 min. A bus stop is very close. Staffs there are amazing (including their kids!). Clean room, perfect WIFI. The beach just a few steps away is so beautiful.

Stayed in June 2024

I had sometimes issues with the wifi speed, which I needed partly for work, but if the goal is to relax then it is the perfect combination!

Maria and Kostas are splendid hosts. They create such a beautiful environment for the guests that it feels like a family. I had amazing food (cooked at the moment with fresh ingredients), and the apartment was cleaned every day by the staff. The position was amazing, being far from the city center but perfectly serviced by bus services, and in a wonderful and tranquil zone, perfectly adapt to relax.

There was nothing that stood out for me. It isn't as polished as some of the other places along the beach, but that is its charm, and you feel part of it. It doesn't have a pool, but why bother when you have the sea at your doorstep?

The location, the ambience, the welcome, the hosts, the food - everything. It is located righht on the beach and guaranteed not to be crowded. You feel right at home, it doesn't feel like it's a hotel, more like a home away from home. A warm welcome is guaranteed by Maria and Kostas, and the delicious food is prepared by Maria - real home-cooking with vegetables from the their garden. It's a real relaxing get-away - I will be back!

All well

A wonderful older family apartment nearly on the beach. Simply rooms, very ok, with fan and airco Run by the very friendly Maria, always smiling. She and her husband speak very well English. Nice Greek meals, and above all local draft beer.
