Livikon by the Sea ★★★

📍 Sfakia, Sfakia

"Easily the most wonderful place to stay in Chora Sfakion. We spent the 4 weeks of April in this charming, unpretentious and beautiful hotel, run by the most hospitable owners, who were constantly helpful and generous with their attention to our every need and expert advice on the whole area. We felt part of their family within a short time. The hotel rooms are spotless and kept that way, and every room opens to a balcony looking over the sea. Each night one is lulled to sleep with the sound of the waves on the shore and by day, there are endless places of historical interest and extreme beauty to enjoy. We swam every day in the pristine sea, either at the beach right there or one nearby. The hotel also has a taverna which serves delicious food from breakfast to dinner. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and were very sad to leave."

Sfakian Horizon ★★

📍 Eparchiaki Odos Vrison-Sfakion 6, Sfakia

"The hotel is situated above the pretty village of Sfakia the evacuation point of Allied soldiers following their defeat by a German airborne campaign in 1941. The hotel is of modern attractive construction and included individual rooms and apartments. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment (#18) which had a room with a queen bed and a hair dryer and TV and a sitting room/kitchen area with a comfortable sleeper couch and another TV. Wi-Fi was amongst the best we experienced on Crete. The apartment has a substantial balcony with a terrific view of the harbor as well as the hotel pool. The apartment had air conditioning but we did not need it. There were two issues in need for improvement -lighting is poor in both rooms and there are no reading lights. The bathroom was simple with a single sink, toilet and a shower curtained shower with a hand held shower head. Breakfast is included in the very reasonable room rate and includes fresh squeezed orange juice, Greek yoghurt and cereals, uncut fruit, simple cold cuts, boiled & scrambled eggs and bacon. Service was excellent and the room was cleaned on a daily basis. All in all the hotel is to be recommended for individuals and families"

Sweet Corner Masxali

Sweet Corner Masxali ★★★

📍 Agia Roumeli, Sfakia

"At night we were bitten by bedbugs in bed, and there were many cockroaches running around the floor. In the restaurant we found a cockroach in a plate and choked on a hair. The hotel and restaurant are in terrible unsanitary conditions. We were very afraid that we would catch a disease that these insects carry. The hotel and restaurant require complete sanitization. Get rid of them!"

"We had an unexpected one night stay here when our ferry journey was delayed. The welcome on arrival and overall friendliness of all the staff we met was excellent. Food in their restaurant was delicious and very well priced. We would definitely choose to stay here again."

Sfakian Horizon ★★
"Horizons is a series of rooms and two roomed apartments at the very back of Chora Sfakion: excellent for view but a hard walk down to the main village. We had a two roomed apartment. Ghastly bathroom: small shower area - hand-held shower- stickty shower curtain. One doublebed bedroom with TV, very poor lighting but with access to private balcony: another room with a poorly fitted (cheap?) kitchen area, some ill-made upright chairs ( the backs were not fitted correctly), one day bed and a TV. Breakfast was a buffet with coffee /tera. orange juice (good), four sorts of bread (fresh) cereals, fresh melon, yoghurt, honey and orange jam, spanokopita or tiropita, cucumberm olives, tomato, little apple turnovers, rizogala, and hard boiled eggs, hot scrambled eggs and hot bacon. Well presented. We paid 90 euros cash per night for the two of us to use an apartment and have breakfast. not bad value for money. The snag for us was that to get to a room you needed to walk down stairs. These are Cretan stairs: no handrail and there was no overwhelming willingness to help with our bags. (I am elderly and find stairs very difficult). However while there was no offer to help us load our car when we left, no praise could be too hogh for the ladies who cleaned our apartment daily. Excellent service"

"This hotel feels like a dream. It is absolutely stunning, and the food is amazing. The hotel is family run, and it feels so welcoming and homely. The beach is fantastic, and it was so nice to be able to use the canoes. The staff here make all the difference. They were so kind and friendly. I want to come again!!"

Fata Morgana Studios & Apartments ★★★
"We had a lovely stay at Fata Morgana Studios and Apartments. The apartment was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere – truly perfect for a relaxing holiday. It’s important to note that having a car is essential, as the property is a bit remote and there are no shops or services within walking distance. The nearby beach is absolutely breathtaking – crystal-clear water and unspoiled natural beauty. However, it has no facilities, so be prepared: there are no sunbeds, umbrellas, toilets, or restaurants. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway and don’t mind being a little off the beaten path, this place is a hidden gem. We truly enjoyed our stay!"

Daskalogiannis Hotel ★★
"We absolutely loved our three night stay here, even though the weather wasn’t kind to us. Our twin bedded room (#7), on the second floor, was really large with a lovely balcony looking straight across at the mountains as they spectacularly tumble down to the water’s edge below. The beds were comfortable and the ensuite, whilst not swish, was fine with plenty of hot water and the usual complimentary toiletries, as well as some unexpected extras including a dental kit and shaving kit. Breakfast was a simple and unhurried affair - actually, I think everything about Crete and its people is wonderfully unhurried! - sitting alongside the crystal clear water and enjoying freshly prepared orange juice, gorgeous Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit and a selection of pastries, bread and jams. Eggs were also available on request. The quality of the breakfast was excellent. Service was very good, although we were surprised to find that our bedding was changed after two nights (we were only staying for one more night). Bizarrely, though, only the bottom sheet had been changed and the top sheet and throw had been left on the bed, folded up, for us to re-make! We weren't sure if this was the norm or whether it was an oversight by housekeeping; it made us smile, though! We found the staff to be so helpful and friendly, with special mention to Ioanna who insisted on carrying our suitcases down the jetty when we were preparing to leave and catch the ferry (the ferries pull in directly across from the hotel, as well). Pavlos (not sure if I have remembered his name correctly) is quite a character and interesting to talk to, even if he does have to compete with his vocal sidekick, Coco the parrot! We had a fabulous stay here and Loutro really is a very special place although, apart from hiking in the mountains, swimming in the water or taking a boat somewhere, there’s little to do other than relax which is exactly what we did. A stay in Loutro, even in the rain (!!) really does offer the perfect antidote to stressful living and the Daskalogiannis Hotel is the perfect place to stay."

Kallicrates Village ★★★
"Loved staying here for 9 nights. Room is spacious and clean, bed comfortable, plenty of storage. Privacy good. Breakfast and pool bar is open all the time and very helpful, nice food. Location is good for Frangokastello, walking to restaurants and bars. Good parking and it feels like a very safe place, it has a nice vibe. The owner and family are very helpful in all respects (provided a kettle when asked). The pool is lovely with plenty of shade, also clean. Can't wait to stay again."
