Never stayed in a hotel where the cleaners were so efficient!
Would highly recommend the rooms with pool access!"

"Our trip to Crete Retreat was fantastic! Beautiful grounds, quiet and very enjoyable sitting in the sun near the pool having a glass of incredible Greek wine. Rob and Rachel were outstanding hosts. We got to meet their whole family. Great family atmosphere and I would not hesitate recommending this property to others. Close enough to Chania city for easy access and far enough away for quiet tranquility.

"This was by far the most unique, amazing hotel we stayed at on the island of Crete. Upon arrival we were given fresh-squeezed lemonade made from their own lemon trees. The staff was so friendly! The building is over 500 years old, and nothing like I've ever seen before. The suite we got was huge, (living room, full kitchen, dining room, and bathroom downstairs and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs). We had our own private patio and a back door that led right to the pool. The town and the people...

"The Villa Aloni exceeded all our expectations in terms of quality and facilities. We were looking for somewhere in "hidden Crete" and this property in Maza gave us a sense of rural remoteness but with access to the national road (and easy drives to Hania and Rethymnon) in 5 minutes. The villa was excellently equipped with every modern convenience (except a dishwasher which might have been an asset for a larger party). Everything worked effectively and when the kettle broke, this was replaced...

"My friends and I recently stayed at the Monastery in Chania, and we have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience.
From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well taken care of. We arrived at 7:00 a.m. after an extremely early flight, well before check-in time, and the staff graciously welcomed us rather than turning us away. They took our bags, invited us to relax by the pool, and did everything they could to have our rooms ready as soon as possible. After a long journey, this kindness made such a difference.
The complimentary breakfast each morning was some of the best we have ever had at a hotel. Everything was fresh and delicious, with a great variety of options, and the staff were always friendly and attentive.
Housekeeping was also exceptional. Every day we returned to spotless rooms, freshly made beds, and clean towels. I often left my toiletries on the counter while getting ready, and they would always be neatly organized when I came back. It was such a thoughtful touch and showed the attention to detail the staff put into every aspect of the stay.
The hotel itself is beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm, but what truly stood out was the hospitality. Every staff member made us feel welcome and genuinely cared that we had a wonderful experience.
We would absolutely stay at the Monastery again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chania. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so memorable."
"The hotel catered for what you want. We came here thinking it was 5 star all inclusive but in fact it was more like a 4 star. You need to upgrade to get the branded alcohol, or water in bottles. It’s definitely geared towards alcohol. The food is good. There isn’t much to eat throughout the day in terms of snacks. Ice cream in tubs and homemade sandwiches. The pool is lovely and the views are fab. The vibe is nice. Hospitality is lovely and people enjoy themselves. The pool is the best part for me.
Mr Marx at customer relations is fantastic. He is friendly, helpful and very personal. He takes an interest in you and remembers things you’ve spoken about and is really informative. All hotels should have someone like him. And he speaks 7 languages!!"
"Very clean. Wonderful staff who were very accommodating and helpful. 5 minute walk to the harbour. Great pianists play most nights. Great breakfast and bar."
