"Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Agapi Beach Resort. We stayed in the Premium Sea View room which didn’t disappoint.
It was so wonderful to hear the waves crashing and the birds singing, making it a very relaxing holiday which we so needed.
We did not use the family pool due to most of the dinners being reserved early on by other guests, however we found ample beds around the heated pool and on the beach.
I’m looking to rebook for next year, however will be bringing my travel iron this time as these are not available in the rooms due to being a fire hazard.
All in all a very enjoyable stay."
"On the plus side: Fantastic value for the money. Spotless room.
Note that there is no spa and breakfast, the website description needs to be updated."

"The rooms and resort itself were beautiful, however the immediate surrounding areas left a little to be desired, more specifically the beached within walking distance were dirty. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food (and drink) was AMAZING. We especially enjoyed meeting the chef who you could tell took great pride in his work. The pool and spa were relaxing. The area is definitely walkable to different restaurants and a grocery story, and a bus stop is across the street. Would definitely stay here again!"
"This is a bigger hotel that seems to cater to business travelers rather than offering a European hotel experience. Lots of little amenities. Very clean and nice. Dining at the hotel was expensive. We left before breakfast opened but they put together a box breakfast that was very nice to have for our travels. 15 minute walk to the port. The port here was not as charming as the one in Chania but if you are leaving by ferry, it seems this property is a quiet and comfortable option. You cannot walk to the ferry however with luggage."
"Convenient location to museum; walking distance to all; very helpful staff, easy parking, very modern "high tech" building and we needed guidance for operating AC among other things; so ask your questions. We had 2 sinks and showers( !) an additional perk; I would recommend screens for windows to be able to open them. gym was a nice addition."
"Staff provided excellent experience and were very helpful during our entire stay. Free onsite parking was actually in an adjacent parking lot that the hotel owns. I recommend going directly to the hotel check-in desk first. After check-in you can turn around at the end of their driveway to exit and move to designated spot next to hotel. Staff provided 5-star service."
"Paralos Lifestyle Beach was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. We booked a swim‑up suite and it exceeded every expectation — spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. The terrace had sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon, which worked perfectly: lazy poolside mornings followed by afternoons on the gorgeous beach just steps away.
What truly made the stay unforgettable was the staff. Every interaction felt warm and genuine, and in the restaurant especially, they went above and beyond. It never felt forced — just sincere hospitality that elevated every moment.
The resort itself is small but wonderfully maintained, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The adults‑only atmosphere was blissful and ideal for couples, friends, or even a mum‑and‑daughter escape. The location is great too, with several lovely lunch spots nearby.
We hired a car, and the hotel is only a short, easy drive from the airport. Roads were smooth, drivers were predictable, and exploring the island felt relaxed and enjoyable.
Overall, Paralos Lifestyle Beach delivered everything we hoped for: calm, comfort, great service, and a touch of luxury. A truly memorable stay."
