Pros:

We visited Balito with a family of 7 and had the most wonderful stay. The hotel is small but updated and it is run by a wonderful family who makes you feel at home. The pool area is lovely and the breakfast and coffee is perfect in the morning. The rooms were good for our large family (we had two rooms with 3 beds each) and the area is very walkable. It’s about a 14 min walk to the beach (with my slower children) and a 10 min taxi into Chania. There is also a bus to take you to town and some of the other beaches that stops nearby but we didn’t do it because of elders in our group. There is a taverna around the corner that was amazing. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and will be back again if we return to Crete.

Pros:

How anyone could not like this is beyond me. Unless you are actually looking for loud music and foam parties, this is great, a reasonably priced relatively modern property in a great location with its own bar serving food and drink and its own swimming pool, with fabulous sea views on a bus route, yards from a traditional village with its own restaurants, bakery, coffee kiosk. Supermarkets are just short stroll away. George is a very accommodating host easy to get on with and very helpful and informative.

Great accommodation in a quiet area but not far from Chania
Pros:

Lovely apartment on 2nd floor with sea view from window and balcony. Very clean. Free air con and safe. Kitchen facilities basic but adequate for cooking breakfast, there was a kettle fridge, 2 cooking rings and a microwave. Good shower in bathroom. Bed was a little hard. Lovely pool and there was a pool bar. Balito is in a very quiet area. 2 traditional restaurants just up the road in the village and a couple of supermarkets and a bakery. There is a bus stop right outside the apartment which goes to Chania and the beaches. You can walk from the apartment to Kalamaki beach in about 12 minutes but it is by a busy road, there are lots of restaurants and bars here. We preferred to go to the beach at Apostoli which was beautiful and had a fabulous beach bar. There are also some lovely restaurants and bars here. Really recommend this area and apartment.

Pros:

Great property. Apartments very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a beautiful sea view on 2nd floor. Kitchenette basic but adequate for cooking breakfast. Good shower in bathroom. Lovely pool. There is a pool bar. George the owner and his family and staff were very friendly and gave lots of information about Crete. It is about a 12 minute walk down the hill to the nearest beach Kalamaki. We didn't like this beach as it was by a busy road so we carried on walking another 20 mins to Apostoli beach which is fabulous with a great beach bar. Completely recommend this accommodation but bear in mind the distance to beaches, if you don't like to walk far you need to hire a car. Or there is a bus stop right outside the apartment you could use.

Pros:

Me and my uncle stayed 2 weeks at Balito Apartments and it was wonderful! The staff were really friendly and helpful. We got amazing recommendatiations from the staff to go to the beach and find good restaurants.
We arrived at night and everything were arranged so that it was easy to come at night time too when everyone was sleeping.
Rooms were good and cleaned, nothing special, but it had everything we needed.
The pool was amazing and clean.
Very peaceful place and on good location, not so far away. You can easily go down to the beach.
I really recommend this place. Everything was good and the staff was just so amazing, it felt like home. Definitely going again!

Posizione molto comoda. Siamo stati davvero bene nonostante non si tratti di un hotel sfarzoso. La piscina è molto carina e pulita, il personale è gentile e disponibile. Oltre ai posti auto di fronte all’entrata si trova facilmente parcheggio sulla via.

Pros:

Con la mia famiglia (2 3) abbiamo passato un ottimo soggiorno di 14gg in questo appartamento al secondo piano. Sebbene il cucinotto non sia fornitissimo per cui risultava difficile cucinare per tutta la famiglia, abbiamo apprezzato molto l'ampio terrazzo che usavamo per colazioni e cene take away. Il personale e' super cordiale e sempre pronto a darti suggerimenti e aiuto. La bella piscina e' davvero un plus che permette di rilassarsi dopo giornate "faticose" al mare. Simpatici gatti (che amiamo molto) sono frequentatori dell'hotel. La macchina e' necessaria per muoversi ed il parcheggio non e' un problema. Nelle vicinanze immediate Elia una taverna tipica consigliataci da George dove si mangia bene senza spendere una fortuna.
