Absolutely perfect holiday, apts were clean, beautiful setting and very helpful staff. 🥰
Pros:

These apartments were superb. Elli from reception was super helpful, nothing was too much trouble and we were given lots of info about the good restaurants to go to etc.
Our rooms were clean and the air conditioning had a silence button - very important for a light sleeper!
Pool was amazing and the views from our balcony was stunning.
Would definitely return. Thank you Elli for making our holiday so wonderful.

Cons:

Nothing - we have no complaints.

Appartement vue mer incroyable.
Pros:

Nous etions loges dans la partie plus ancienne de l'hotel, appartement très agréable, avec beau balcon donnant vue sur mer (vue incroyable un vrai plus sur ce séjour) et sur le côté (piscine et jardin).
2 grandes chambres , 1 vue jardin (2 lits simples) et l autre vue mer. (2 lits simples collés), climatisation dans chaque chambre.
Coin cuisine fonctionnel, espace repas spacieux a l intérieur.
Possibilité de manger aussi sur le balcon avec 1 table et 4 chaises d extérieur mis a disposition mais espace assez réduit, il faut le savoir.
Piscine super agréable donnant elle aussi vue mer ouverte de 8h à 20h. Bien équipée (transats en nombre largement suffisant)
Wifi et television dans l appartement.
Lits fait chaque matin et poubelles sorties tous les jours par le personnel.
Possibilité de stationner à l hôtel, un vrai avantage car le stationnement en Crête est extrêmement compliqué.
Le personnel était très gentil et à l'écoute. Accueil ouvert de 8h à 16h. Boîte à clef pour les arrivées tardives.

Cons:

Équipement de cuisine minimaliste, nous étions 4 et 4 couverts de chaque, pas un de plus, pas de bols pour le petit dej des enfants, uniquement des tasses a café (pour les céréales pas facile).
Pas d huile ni vinaigre, ni sel et poivre. Nous y séjournions 6 jours, nous avons du tout acheter., Mettre cela à disposition des locataires seraient un plus.
Télévision dans la chambre parentale, donc les matchs de la coupe du monde se regardaient dans le lit.

After more than 30 years of visiting Crete, we've finally found the place we'll keep coming back to.
Pros:

I've been coming to Crete every year for more than 30 years and have stayed in a wide variety of accommodation. I discovered Hermes Sea View last year, and it ticked every box.

From the moment you arrive, you're given a warm, friendly welcome. The staff are genuinely helpful and attentive, including the housekeeping team, who do an excellent job servicing the rooms every day.

The panoramic sea view from the rooms is simply stunning, and falling asleep to the gentle sound of the waves is something truly special. The pool area is peaceful and rarely crowded, with the same breathtaking views across the sea.

The hotel is tucked away from the busy main road, giving it a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, yet it's still within easy walking distance of plenty of excellent restaurants and supermarkets. The bus stop for Chania is conveniently located at the bottom of the hill.

I should mention the steep walk up to the hotel, as it could be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. That said, you do get used to it—it definitely seemed easier as the week went on!

A special mention goes to our favourite restaurant of the holiday, Kri Kri. It's a family-run taverna specialising in traditional Cretan dishes, and the food comes remarkably close to our yiayia's cooking—which is about the highest compliment we can give!

We enjoyed our stay so much that we’ll definitely be returning. Hermes Sea View continues to be one of our favourite places to stay in Crete.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Hadde et utmerket opphold på Hermes Sea View. Verten og mannskapet var veldig hjelpsomme, og alt fra informasjon før ankomst, ankomsttjenester (med online innsjekking) til avreise gikk veldig smidig.

Hotellet ligger 200 meter oppoverbakke fra hovedveien, noe som skjermer det fra støy fra trafikk og restauranter.
Rengjøringen av rommet var utmerket med hyppig skift av håndklær og veldig vennlig og hjelpsomt personale.
Veldig bra basseng med solsenger og solskjermer, og utmerket utsikt over Chaniabukten og området rundt.

A perfect peaceful escape in beautiful surroundings with stunning views with super friendly staff.
Pros:

We had the most wonderful stay at Hermes Sea View. The whole place was spotless, with real attention to cleanliness. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming - always with a smile. The apartment is set in beautiful surroundings with an amazing panoramic view of the sea. We loved relaxing quietly by the pool, tucked away from the bustle of the town yet it is still close enough to enjoy the beach and a great selection of restaurants. That said, after discovering Kri Kri restaurant on our second day, we pretty much made it our second home! Excellent traditional food, unbelievably friendly staff and beautiful beachfront setting.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was perfectly wonderful.

I will give a mention to the hill that you need to take from the Main Street to the apartment. It IS steep. Not a problem for us AT ALL but it could be quite challenging for anyone with mobility issues.
