Welcoming hosts in a perfect location with a private beach!
Pros:

We spent 5 nights in this wonderful location. Silvia, Katharina and the team are great hosts, who cared for us whereever possible and made us feel welcome from the first minute. They even prepare meals upon request. Great location on a quiet beach. The private pool is very clean (like everything at Kanakis). Definitely a recommendation, we will come back!

Pros:

Bardzo sympatyczna i miła obsługa!
Byliśmy tu z małym dzieckiem i naprawdę w wielu sytuacjach nam pomogli ☺️
Duży, wygodny i codziennie sprzątany pokój też zasługuje na pochwałę.

Pros:

En bord de mer, avec transats et parasols à disposition. Belle piscine. Très calme et reposant. Magnifique vue sur la mer.
Bonne taverna juste à côté.

Cons:

C’est vrai que la douche est très petite et une fois la douche prise, la salle de bain est inondée. Un peu vieillot mais charmant.
Petite déjeuner pas terrible pour le prix.

Parel aan de kust
Pros:

Prachtig gelegen kleinschalige accommodatie. Heerlijk zwembad en directe toegang tot de zee vanuit de mooi aangelegde tuin. Echt een prachtig plaatje. De accommodatie ligt in een erg rustig gebied, ideaal om tot rust te komen.
De kamers zijn erg ruim en worden goed schoongemaakt.
Gerund door een Grieks gezin dat het je graag naar de zin maakt.

Cons:

We hadden een kamer die grensde aan het ontbijtterras. Dit gaf wat minder privacy als je op je eigen terras wilde gaan zitten.
Niet alle gezinsleden die op locatie werken spreken evengoed Engels maar met handen en voeten kom je een heel eind.

Great place to stay and great location
Pros:

Superb location. Easy access by road.Hosts although could'nt speak english could not have been kinder. Katerina the receptionist spoke good english. Place spotlessy clean. Beautiful grounds with flowers and cacti.Easy parking.

Cons:

Breakfast was basic. Needed fresh bread and better variety of fruit. Room 12 bathroom somewhat small,needed to be careful to make sure that shower curtain didn't block plughole!Toilet cramped! April meant that limited access to tavernas tho' Castaway up the road ok for snacks.Driving in Crete is always a challenge!

Pros:

Ein kleines familiär geführtes Hotel mit eigenem kleinen Privatstrand. Auf dem Frühstücksbuffet sind täglich einige liebevoll selbst gemachte Spezialitäten.
Leider spricht nur Katharina Englisch, der Hotelinhaber und Silvia, seine weitere Hilfe, gar nicht. Aber alle sind sehr bemüht und so wird eben per Telefon übersetzt, sprich es wird jemand angerufen der Englisch spricht. Deutsch geht eher gar nicht.

Cons:

Das Frühstücksbuffet wird schon um 7:00 aufgebaut, einschließlich Eierspeisen. Aber man bekommt auch jederzeit frischen Kaffee oder Eier wenn es bis 10 Uhr natürlich kalt ist . Einfach fragen.

Absolute bliss and perfect relaxation for us both.
Pros:

From the moment we arrived , we were made to feel welcomed and comfortable. The view when we opened our curtains that first morning was simply amazing! To sleep listening to the waves was another massive plus for us. This place has everything you need, it is immaculately clean inside and out. The staff/family work super hard to make sure you are happy and go out of their way to help wherever they can.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike

Pros:

They did anything they could to make our stay as lovely as possible. The staff in the hotel loved our kid, they even packed him lunch for the drive to the airport.
I loved breakfast on the terrace with the view of the sea.

Jeśli będziemy kolejny raz na Krecie zdecydowanie wybierzemy ten hotel ponownie.
Pros:

Hotel położony przy drodze Chania - Retimno, ale w pokojach i na terenie obiektu jest cicho, nie odczuwa się zupełnie hałasu z drogi. Bardzo dobra baza do zwiedzania Krety, nie traci się czasu na dojazd do drogi głównej. Blisko ogromnej plaży. Obiekt starannie utrzymywany, czysty, ma nawet własną mikro-plażę. Wygodne łóżka i wydajna klimatyzacja. W łazience zawsze gorąca woda. Duży parking. Recepcja 24/h. Na miejscu dobra kawa i alkohole.

Cons:

Łazienka mała, ale funkcjonalna. Gospodarze powinni jednak zmienić "legendarne" zasłony pod prysznicem na szklane, składana drzwi. Śniadania skromne, co jest zrozumiałe, bo to mały hotel, ale cena 12 Euro za śniadania jest zbyt wysoka.

Perfect location and Staff
Pros:

B&B’s location is exceptional, really close to the sea, making it ideal for swimming and watching sunset, it’s peaceful that we can fall asleep listening to the sound of the wave. Every morning, Silvia prepared lovely breakfast for us, she did her best to make us feel welcome. 家庭旅馆的女主人让我们感到非常温暖，喜欢她为我们准备的传统希腊餐食。私人海滩，无敌海景，在阳台上或泳池边看日落美景，期望更多游人能光临Silvia的家庭旅馆！
