Kalyves Beach Hotel

Location perfect in the centre of the village and right on the beach. Staff were helpful and friendly Great selection of food for breakfast as was the lunch and dinner. We like to eat out in local tavernas but the hotel did its best with variety. Sea view room was great for view and the bed was very comfortable. I didn’t use air con as early in the season but also a ceiling fan. They have entertainment on an evening and our room was just above but luckily this finishes at 10.00pm

First to point out is all the staff - from front desk through restaurant, room service, customer relations manager and of course pool bar guys - they are all welcoming, customer oriented, and treating you as a valuable guest and as a friend at the same time, always ready to assist, keeping smile on at any time. ( I am not picking up names just not to forget anybody). Restaurant: all courses are varied enough, on lunch and dinner always offering something from local cuisine, some fish / seafood options supported with some global classic items and kid's "must have" like pizza :-) Also plenty of vegetable and fruit is available, and yes - ice cream :-) I also recommend to upgrade to All-In Plus to get the best experience like full selection of coctails, international brands of alcohol, unlimited supply of bottled water etc. Also do not miss the travel agency in the lobby - the guy at the counter is very effective providing travel info / advice, no need to necessarily buy something, just use the chance to ask and enhance your stay. Meanwhile, their prices for airport transfer and car rental are competitive. The hotel together with the village offers the right Cretan atmosphere away from large noisy resorts.

The view from the hotel was lovely, the beach was very nice too. The room was spacious , upto date and clean.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The facilities are fantastic, making it a perfect choice for families, especially those traveling with young children. One of the highlights for us was the indoor pool, which was a lifesaver on days when the weather wasn’t great for the beach. There’s also a well-equipped playground that kept our little ones entertained for hours. In the late afternoon and evening, they set up an inflatable castle with a ball pit — such a fun and thoughtful touch that our kids absolutely loved! And for the adults, the cocktails were absolutely delicious — beautifully made and a great way to relax after a fun-filled day. Highly recommended for a family-friendly getaway!

We really enjoyed the location, the food, the nice surroundings. The rooms were confortable, good Wi-Fi and lovely people, especially the lady that was entertaining the kids. They loved her. It is very suitable for families with children because they have a lot of activities for them not only at night but also during the day.
