With magnificent sea views from a rocky headland above Aghios Nikolaos Bay, this adults-only resort blends together all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.

Take time out to relax by the swimming pool or rest by the lapping waves of the hotel's private beach, where you can try various water-sports. The Minos Palace was exceptionally beautiful - the decor throughout, minimal yet not cold. I must commend the interior designers - every detail was exquisite. Room had a gorgeous sea view and was very comfortable - however the bed & pillows were too mushy for my preference. I requested a firmer pillow which was delivered promptly. The extensive grounds were so beautifully landscaped - a dream! and the cliffside sun loungers overlooking Mirabello Bay were very comfy. All the staff were extremely kind and attentive without being intrusive.

The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. We were extremely satisfied with our stay at Rocca a Mare. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was perfectly clean and comfortable. The rooftop pool is small but absolutely beautiful — a real gem with a lovely view, perfect for relaxing.

Located in Chania Town, 1.1 km from Koum Kapi Beach, Nearchou Boutique Hotel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a bar. This 5-star hotel offers a concierge service, a tour desk and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Breakfast was outstanding, lots of bread, pastries, cooked to order eggs. Owner Tammy was very friendly and provided trip recommendations. They have worked very hard for several years to make this hotel a reality, and it's a standout in so many respects. Amalia was very friendly and loves also providing restaurant recommendations, we're glad we were able to eat in one of her top 3 restaurants, Gramvousa. George also provided us with great tips to visit the Samaria gorge, which in our view, is a top place to visit. Room was large, with jacuzzi, located just a short walk from the main harbor. I would recommend it without hesitation. There is parking in front of the hotel for just 3 cars, reserved for the hotel guests. If arriving late, you can always park nearby on the same road, preferably on a spot before reaching the hotel.
