Niriides Palace ★★★

"Et moderne, fantasifuldt designet lille hotel på havet.Gode størrelser værelser, komfortabel seng, opnået ejer-receptionist.Godt udstyret værelse med stor kaffe, mineralvand. Parkering på ejendommen, og en fremragende Taverna langs havet omkring ti minutters gang væk (refereret i andre anmeldelser). Bedøvelse med St George's hotel ved siden af er ikke ideel, da morgenmadsvalget og kvaliteten er temmelig grundlæggende. Selv om Niriides ikke har nogen offentlige rum, ville det være bedre, hvis de gav en morgenmadsboks med pasta/juice/frugt til dit værelse og nyde på balkonen."

Niros Beachfront Aparthotel ★★★

"This place was not what I hoped and it's not a 3 star. Our sheets and towels were stained (make up on towels; sheets and under- bedding unsure what the stain was). Was not a clean space. All spaces could use updating. Poor fixes around the suite. Yes, you have to pay 5€ for air conditioning, taking you back to the 80s. They give you one sheet to sleep with. Just yuck."

Saint George Gournes Bay "by Checkin" Adults Only ★★★

"Great new hotel. Food was very good, staff amazing especially Alex the Manager very helpful and nice person Highly recommend this hotel, if you need something just ask and the hotel staff will do what they can to accommodate Near the beach which we love, will definitely return and it was a relaxing stay We had a power cut during one night and most of the day so we went to the beach until the power was back, this was an area issue. Few suggestions- mirror in the bedroom Milk for tea coffee in the room which is our preference, cost of drinks needs to be reviewed as it can work out costly cheaper to buy at the beach. Not the cheapest for accommodation"

Destino Sea View Villa with Private Pool ★★★★

Olga Studios ★★★

"This was our 6th visit to Olga Studios between Gournes and Kokkinin Hani. Georgios and Stella are absolutely great hosts. Georgios picked us up at the airport, even though our plane arrived late at night, and when we got to the apartment he had put a couple of beers and some wine in the fridge in case we were thirsty after our journey. The apartment has a bedroom, small kitchen area and a shower room all of which has been recently refurbished. The patio doors open onto a reasonable sized balcony overlooking the pool area. The kitchen has two hobs, a fridge, plenty of crockery and cutlery, washing up liquid, sponges and tea towels. Everything you need if you want to make your own meals. Shower gel and towels are also provided in the shower room but take your own beach towels with you. Stella takes the morning shifts and does a great breakfast, if you don’t want to make your own. There is car parking available at Georgios’s mother house across the road but we do not hire a car preferring to either walk or take the bus. There is a bus stop, number 7, just outside the hotel and from there you can go into Hersonissos (Bus stop 20). Some buses run further into Malia and Stallis or change buses in Hersonissos to Sissi and Agios Nikolaos. The bus going the other way takes you to Heraklion. It is about an hours walk to the Crete Aquarium, which would probably be quicker if we did not stop for refreshments and photo shoots along the way. You can walk a bit further into Gouves but we decided to take the bus and wandered down the main street which has more speciality shops than can be found in Kokkini Hani. Most people staying here will go out for a meal. There are many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance around the area. When we chose a restaurant at the far side of the town, we were going to walk or get the bus, but Georgios insisted on taking us there. Stella also offered to take us to where we wanted to go during the day but we managed to make our own way. Although the hotel does not have a restaurant Georgios makes great meals. There is no menu, you just let him know what you want, he sources the ingredients and demonstrates his superb culinary skills. If you are lucky his mother, who lives across the road, sometimes brings over a dessert. The Pool bar is usually open at night until the last person leaves and is a place where friends and family meet to watch sports on the large screen TV. Georgios makes sure that his hotel guests are not left out drawing them into the group conversations. We didn’t see much of the two boys this year as they were at school but we certainly got to know Romi, the dog. Every morning, as soon as we opened the patio doors, Romi would be waiting, just below our balcony, to greet us. Maybe we should have been giving her a morning dog biscuit as now she will be expecting that from every guest in that room. Our second week was to be spent in Piskopiano near Hersonissos and we h"
