Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort Crete Curio Collection by Hilton

"Beautiful adult only resort with 2 swimming pools. And beach access. The rooms are very nice with a spacious patio. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is decent but is mostly buffet only unless you choice to eat at the upscale restaurant. Which you need to turn in your selections the night before Ierapetra is a $10 euro cab ride with many wonderful restaurants."

Castello Boutique Resort & Spa - Adults Only

"If I could give more than five stars, I genuinely would. From the moment we arrived at Castello Boutique Resort & Spa, we felt something that is becoming increasingly rare on holiday – complete relaxation. Within minutes, the stresses of everyday life had disappeared, replaced by an overwhelming feeling that we were exactly where we needed to be. The hotel doesn’t just provide accommodation; it creates an atmosphere where you can truly switch off and simply enjoy every moment. The entire team deserves enormous credit. Every single member of staff greeted us with genuine warmth, smiles and enthusiasm throughout our stay. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and every interaction felt sincere rather than rehearsed. Two people, however, deserve a special mention. Epthimios was simply outstanding. His knowledge of wine was exceptional, and every evening he guided us towards the perfect bottle to accompany our meal. His recommendations never missed the mark and genuinely elevated each dining experience. Beyond that, he was incredibly friendly, engaging and somehow always seemed to know exactly how to make every guest feel special. As fellow football fans, our nightly conversations became something we genuinely looked forward to! Jennifer was equally wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and always happy to help with anything we needed, she represents everything great about Greek hospitality. One moment perfectly summed up the attitude of the staff. I asked whether they could make an iced coffee, barista style. They admitted they hadn’t made one before, but rather than simply saying no, they embraced the challenge with smiles and enthusiasm. The result was fantastic, and it perfectly demonstrated the team’s willingness to go above and beyond to make guests happy. It’s that attitude that separates good hotels from exceptional ones. The housekeeping team also deserve huge praise. Our room was immaculate every single day, maintained to an exceptionally high standard, allowing us to return each afternoon to a space that felt fresh, comfortable and inviting. The food throughout our stay was absolutely exceptional. The evening à la carte menu was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish arrived looking like a piece of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. Each evening became an experience rather than simply dinner, and it was consistently one of the highlights of our day. Breakfast catered for absolutely everyone. Whether you wanted fresh fruit and cereals, continental options, a full English breakfast or freshly prepared dishes from the à la carte menu, everything was plentiful, fresh and of excellent quality. It was the perfect start to every day. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained, peaceful and stylish without ever feeling pretentious. It strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort, allowing you to completely unwind. We also fell in love with Sissi. What a beautiful village. It offers everything "

Afroditi Apartments

"This hotel is a true home away from home. To be honest, everything was lovely. My husband and I are world travelers and this hotel is one of our best experiences. We have stayed in both the standard and deluxe apartments, Any choice is wonderful. The couple who run the hotel are truly kind and genuinely helpful people. Our stay was so wonderful that we will be returning this year for the third visit. Having been to a dozen different destinations in Greece, this has truly been OUR favorite! "

The Island Concept Luxury Boutique Hotel Heated Pool

"Superb 7-night stay in this hotel. Everything is perfect, we had the Paros suite which is simply exceptional. Everything is well decorated, simple, very stylish, and spotlessly clean. The small private beach is also very pleasant. We had dinner every evening in the hotel which is worth the detour with a great Italian chef who makes perfect Greek dishes. The staff is always kind, always available to help or find solutions. Everything is calm here, everything is zen. Special mention to Maria, our bar-woman who gave us great advice on wines, especially the Codex white wine. But all the staff is really great, whether at reception or in the restaurant, their kindness is always a pleasure. We will definitely come back."

Astron Hotel

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, making it very easy to explore the area and get around. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast – a wide variety of delicious options, fresh and nicely presented. Overall, a great experience and I would happily stay here again!"

Ella Rocrita

"We stayed in Ella Rocrita for 2 weeks mid June 2026. We had booked a Sea View Swimup room. We arrived around midnight and after check in (yes we had the tourist tax to pay but were aware of it) we were taken to our room on a golf cart. I was amazed by the size of the site. Our room unfortunately had an issue - the under floor heating was on and the entire room felt like a sauna, the thermostat showed the room to be 36.5c, we thought there was an issue and tried to suffer the first night adjusting the air conditioning, which over the next few hours reduced the room temperature to 27.5c by the morning. Over the next day or so we asked reception to send someone to look at the room, and eventually they did, but the workman said he could not fix it. Reception said they would move us, but not to a sea view, which we wanted, so we had to endure another night in the room. The room floor was like walking on concrete heated by the sun. The next day we were eventually moved rooms and I have to say it was a wonderful feeling. The food in the resort is excellent, the restaurants are fabulous and the staff and service is perfect. Even the buffet food was far superior to other All Inclusive resorts I have stayed in either in Europe or the Caribbean. The beach is great, a lot of waves, the pool area is perfect and there were a lot of free beds always, but we stayed at our room most days as we had full sun. The bars were all excellent, I never had an issue ordering drinks, and certainly did not have to wait. Limoncello Spritz is now my favourite drink I do not think I heard the word "no" once, and whichever staff member I met when walking around the resort I was always met with a smile and a cheerful greeting. It was my birthday when I was there and I got a cake delivered to my room, so thank you Ella Rocrita! Location wise it is remote, Mochlos is about 2km along the coast and I walked in every morning, there are a few shops and a few bars and restaurants. For food, I would highly recommend Bogazi, right on the seafront and around the corner is The Rocks bar, perfect for a sundowner. The front desk will arrange a taxi (Nikos is the man!). Overall I would say its great even with the issue with the room at the start. Would I go back? Maybe, if flight times were adjusted from Belfast to arrive a bit earlier so that we would arrive at a more reasonable time, our first day was over before we arrived. I had doubts given Facebook posts etc, but I would dispel any criticism given our experience. Also the cats are lovely, we even bought them some treats in the local supermarket, but they are very well fed, lots of people took meat etc for them from the restaurants."

"I really loved the stay and the resort. The food was perfect, the service was great, the sea was awesome and the resort was perfect. If you want a full on experience with the best possible resort in the area ever you should come here."

Maritimo Beach Hotel

"I have been to Crete many times but never Sissi, after the demise in quality of all inclusive holidays my family and I decided to try this hotel and the half board package. This hotel was everything we hoped it would be. We booked a superior room and do not think wr got this but it was big enough for what we needed it for. The beds were very comfortable, AC was strong and there was plenty of luggage space. Only negative was the shower which would alternate between very hot and icy cold and every temp in between, however a small negative. The food at breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and lots being freshly made throughout. The pancakes were fantastic, as was the constant coffee refills from the staff. The staff in the restaurant at both meal times were amazing, so friendly and nice, a breath of fresh air after other hotels we have visited. The food in the evening was varied, tasty and always hot. Really very good. A tip is to get the outside eating area as the main room gets very hot. Athena at the pool bar was always friendly, was lovely to my family and great for advice on the local area and travel. Fresh pool towels every day is a nice touch too. My only gripe and it is a small one is no room is provided to shower. you check out at 11 and the only place to shower for late departures is the public bathroom by the smaller pool. The small pool area was perfect for us, only about 30 sun loungers and not too hectic, the main pool area seemed a bit crammed in like sardines. I would definitely visit here again. The building work at nearby hotels does not cause any issue and this is a very peaceful place to visit"
