Fjärde gången på detta hotell. Lugnt ställe. Hade utsikt över poolen och havet. Härlig strand. Bra restaurang alldeles vid stranden. Väldigt mycket trappor. Rent och snyggt.

Pros:

We had a sub basement flat and it was great value. Spacious and near the pool. Could do with some sprucing up in terms of furniture etc but nothing to spoil our stay. The hotel restaurant is what makes it for us. Great food and staff. Best cocktails and the best spaghetti ever. Coffee is superb too. We asked the hotel to leave two pizzas in our room as we were arriving late and nothing is a problem for them. Location is absolutely wonderful on the beach.

Pros:

Paikka rannalla loistava. Yleinen siisteys hotellissa, lähialueella ja rantatuoleilla oli puutteellinen.
Puitteet olisivat hyvät, mutta panostus kokonaisuuteen puuttuu.

Pros:

Points positifs: excellente localisation, chambre avec vue et balcon sur la mer superbe, hotel en bord de plage, accueil a l hotel par Mrs Koukouraki tres agreable et accueil de Cristina tres agreable au restaurant

Points negatifs:
1) l'autre personne assurant l accueil s est montree tres desagreable
-> en tant que voyageur solo, elle ne souhaitait pas garder ma cle de chambre pour que je puisse profiter de la plage et de la mer, cela ne lui coute rien et cela constitue un simple service..
-> elle tenait a ce que ma chambre soit liberee le jour du depart a 11h au lieu de 12h comme stipule sur expedia..je n ai pas cede
2) en tant que silver, je n ai pas eu le cadeau de bienvenue mentionné lors de la reservation

Bedste beliggenhed
Pros:

Skønt hotel med en vidunderlig beliggenhed. Lejlighederne er lidt kedelige, og sovesofaerne i stuen er meget hårde. Ydermere mangler der lidt knager, hylder og kunst. Men beliggenheden, med den gode strand og restaurant på hotellet trækker meget op. Vi havde 10 dage på hotellet og havde en balkon som vendte den „rigtige vej“ som er i skyggen når det er juli måned :)

Fantastisk beliggenhed, men manglende rengøring
Pros:

Dejlig beliggenhed, sødt personale, men desværre utrolig dårlig rengøring og mindre god stand af værelses faciliteter.

Good, but with some hiccups
Pros:

Our stay at Golden Bay Suites from May 10th to May 17th was generally pleasant, but unfortunately, it was marred by some uncomfortable incidents that affected our overall experience.

Our biggest challenge was the lack of remote controls for the air conditioning units, which resulted in us not being able to use the air conditioning for the first three days of our stay. We arrived on Saturday evening around 8 PM, and there was no staff on the premises. Sunday did not bring any resolution either, and it was only on Monday afternoon that we were given a single remote control for the three air conditioning units in the apartment. This made our first few days quite uncomfortable, especially due to the weather conditions. We had to open the windows at night, which resulted in our 4-year-old child having 30 to 40 mosquito bites the next morning.

Another concerning incident was the discovery of a wasp nest in the bathroom. It took two days from when we reported the issue for it to be removed. We had to request action twice, which was quite concerning for our safety and comfort.

Finally, the freezer in our room was faulty and could not close properly, resulting in water leaking everywhere inside the fridge. We reported this issue to the reception, but it was not fixed during our stay. This also meant that the ice cream we bought melted, and we had to throw it away. It was only on the last day, 30 minutes before check-out time, that the janitor asked if he should fix it.

Despite these issues, we were generally satisfied with our stay and appreciate the efforts of the staff. We had hoped for some form of compensation for the inconveniences we experienced, but unfortunately, our request was denied. We hope that our feedback will be taken into consideration to improve the experiences of future guests.

Perfect location
Pros:

First solo trip and this hotel was perfect location for me. The room itself was fine and comfortable, although a little dated in places was kept very clean by staff . I had a semi basement room which was ok for me , I didn’t use the outside area with it due to being so close to pool and therefore could be noisy and often had ball hitting windows , not a real issue for me though. The hotel grounds are beautiful and location amazing. There is bus stop within walking distance takes you to Chania town . Only issue I would say was sunbeds and people putting towels on them to reserve them . On vacating my room there is place for freshening up and leaving suitcase .
