Private space on the boulevard
Pros:

Beautiful and private space.
Only 6 rooms and great personal service.

The cheaper rooms with Balcony are definetly the way to go. No need for a jacuzzi in my opinion.

For breakfast i would recommend Bora Bora next to it.

Cons:

Although the service is great and prices are made clear some drinks prices dont make sense as they are 30-40% more expensive then similar place to the left and right

Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The pool and beach location was great. The rooms are very modern and clean

Cons:

The location is a bit of a walk to the main part of the Venetian Harbor and many of the best restaurants. But the walk is pleasant and right along the beach

Brilliant, clean and eco friendly
Pros:

Mike and his wife are such wonderful owners. So caring and attentive. We will definitely be back. Also Doris, who was so kind and helpful. Thank you all

Cons:

Nothing. But if you don’t like walking then this town probably isn’t for you.

Geweldig hotel met ontzettend aardig personeel.
Pros:

Wat een heerlijk hotel!
Perfecte, schone kamer met een geweldig uitzicht. Fijn zwembad met voldoende bedjes. Ook voldoende bedjes op het strand, waar soms ook bedjes voor ons apart werden gehouden als hotelgasten. De bediening op het strand was ook perfect. Heel aardig personeel en we werden echt verwend.
Aanrader!

All in all, we were really disappointed for how much money we spent for such a mediocre experience.
Pros:

The beds were comfortable. The room was nice. The room automation was nice. The beach view was nice.

Cons:

Food was inedible. Drinks were just okay. The bathroom arrangement was not pleasant. There was a terrible smell coming from the sewer in the floor that we could not close.

Pros:

Wir haben die familiäre Atmosphäre sehr genossen. Sowohl die Besitzer als auch die Mitarbeiterinnen waren sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Ein höchst entspannter Strandabschnitt direkt über die Straße, mit eigenen Liegen war schon sehr angenehm. Auch, dass man am Strand jederzeit leicht etwas bestellen konnte war super. Alles war sauber und geschmackvoll mit viel Liebe zum Detail gemacht. Da für unseren Urlaubszeitraum bereits die Loft Suite teilweise gebucht war, hatten wir bewusst einen Zimmerwechsel gebucht. Der lief reibungslos und wurde uns sehr einfach gemacht. Generell muss man sagen, dass man auf Kreta wohl kaum entspannter urlauben kann, als in einer Unterkunft dieser (kleinen) Größe, die mit so viel Herzblut geführt wird.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war nicht in jeder Hinsicht Unsers. Man kann hier von einer Liste ungefähr wählen was man am nächsten Tag möchte. Im Hinblick auf Reduzierung von Müll fanden wir das gut und das Frühstück war dennoch reichhaltig und lecker. Wir sind auch keine Freunde von Buffets. Allerdings hätten wir uns neben dem Brot auch Brötchen und vielleicht auch Granola gewünscht. Generell war das Frühstück immer schön und sehr entspannt, wenngleich auch nicht gerade günstig. Nicht unerwähnt möchten wir die typisch griechischen Süßspeisen lassen, die wir morgens zum Frühstück bekommen haben. Die waren immer sehr sehr lecker.
Beim Bezahlen hätten wir uns im Nachhinein eine Aufstellung gewünscht. Nicht, weil wir den Preis zu hoch fanden, sondern schlicht, weil wir nach einer Woche keine genaue Vorstellung mehr hatten, was wir so bestellt hatten. Zugegeben ist uns das aber auch später erst aufgegangen und wir haben auch nicht aktiv danach gefragt.

Not quite luxury
Pros:

We stayed in a loft suite sea view room. It was just as shown in the photos. Rooms are new, very modern and clean. Well decorated. View from room is good with a nice balcony too. Bed is very comfortable. Shower is hot and great pressure.

The manager and staff were really helpful and very apologetic for the issues we had. They gave us some wine, chocolates and olive oil to apologise. They were very friendly and genuinely hospitable.

Overall it was an ok stay but given the issues we had, it was not quite luxury.

Cons:

Steep stairs are a bit awkward if you are older. Toilet is downstairs and bedroom upstairs so take care in the dark.

The shower and toilet had no ventilation fans and this caused some issues. The floor drains in both rooms are terribly smelly and as a result the whole suite had a bit of a foul stench. We had nice weather so we opened the balcony door which made it a lot better. With door closed it was quite unpleasant. The lack of ventilation also likely led to a false fire alarm at 1:30 am. We were woken by an ear piercing alarm which we assumed was a burglar alarm. It went on for about 20 minutes. There is no staff at the property overnight so guests had to phone the manager to get them to come to the hotel. We were awake for about 90 minutes in the middle of the night. All because a guest in a neighbouring suite took a hot shower and the steam set off the smoke detector and hotel fire alarm. Thankfully there was no fire as there was no attempt to inform us to evacuate the building.

On our first night we found sand in the bed sheets. The manager assured us that the sheets had been changed before we checked in but they were unsure as to why there was sand in the bed.

A wonderful home base to explore Crete from!
Pros:

This was lovely two-level suite, with a beautiful view out over the beach. It was thoughtfully designed, and had everything we needed to enjoy Crete. The thoughtful touches of complementary raki and treats were a nice touch. Wifi was good, and the AC did a great job of controlling the temperature. The suite had both a shower (downstairs) and full bath (upstairs) which was a nice touch, and the water temperature and pressure were both great. Free parking was always available for our rental car beside the property, which was very convenient.

Cons:

There was one issue with the electrical that affected the entire building as a result of heavy rainfall, but the staff worked quickly to address it despite being the middle of the night. The property was also a bit further to walk into old town than we expected.

Pros:

Viihtyisä, moderni ja tyylikäs hotelli ja huone. Todella ystävällinen ja miellyttävä henkilökunta. Hotellin edessä olevalla siistillä ranta-alueella oli hotellin asiakkailla käytössä ilmaiseksi erinomaiset rantatuolit. Aamiainen oli herkullinen. Siivooja kävi päivittäin, kaikki oli puhdasta ja toimivaa. Äänieristys hyvä, samoin ilmastointi. Sijaintikin oli hyvä. Hotelli on ison rantatien varrella, joka on täynnä ravintoloita ja kauppoja. Vanhaan kaupunkiin on parin kilometrin kävelymatka.

Cons:

Säilytystilat olivat hieman epäkäytännölliset, samoin kuin oleskelutilaan sijoitettu pesuallas. Vessan viemäristä lehahti välillä epämiellyttävä haju.

3 vrk:n aikana nämä asiat eivät ehtineet haitata, mutta pidemmällä oleskelulla ne voisivat ehkä hieman häiritä. Eivät kuitenkaan suuria asioita.

Pros:

Calla was the perfect spot to stay. Amazing service, the staff were very friendly. The rooms are as pictured, with thoughtful attention to detail. The pool is lovely and its close to the beach, shops and restaurants but not too in the thick of it so it still feels relaxing. Highly reccomend it!

Prachtig hotel met zeer gastvrij personeel
Pros:

Wij waren opzoek naar een kleinschalig comfortabel hotel, en dat hebben we gevonden bij Calla. Het heeft onze verwachtingen overtroffen: de perfecte ligging vlakbij het strand en dichtbij een stad, Rethymno. Het personeel was ongelooflijk vriendelijk en gastvrij. Ondanks we weinig tijd hebben gespendeerd in het hotel en eerder wat zijn gaan ontdekken, werden we telkens opnieuw warm onthaald. Wij hadden een kamer met jacuzzi, welke we iedere dag gebruikt hebben na een lange dag aan het strand/in de stad. Het zwembad hebben we niet gebruikt maar ook dit was prima onderhouden.

Cons:

Het enige minpunt dat we konden bedenken was dat de kamer vlak na de receptie lag waardoor we veel konden horen, soms voor ons al iets te vroeg in de ochtend.
