Among the various facilities of this property are a terrace, a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. A brand new hotel, very nicely located in a calm area, but close to the city. Contemporary designed hotel with luxury feel and attention to details. The entry hall and the stairs are a true masterpiece. The rooms are clean, comfortable, well organized and fully equipped. Staff was very professional and helpful, yet friendly. We were allowed to check in earlier and were provided complimentary free breakfast. Liana, was extremely helpful throughout our stay. She helped us to plan the visits around and gave us great suggestions. Furthermore, she invited us to the Easter party lunch organized by the hotel with traditional music and tasty food. Breakfast is buffet style, everything is freshly made and very well presented. Finally, food was very delicious. The garage is free , which is a bonus. I would definitely choose to stayhere again whenever I visit Crete.

Featuring a magnificent outdoor pool and a restaurant, the 5-star NEMA Design Hotel & Spa - Adults Only offers accommodation in Analipsi of Hersonissos. The resort features a private sandy beach. Free WiFi is available in all areas. We love the style of the building. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom is up to standard. We had half board. It is a buffet in the evening but a different theme every night so it never bores

Built amphitheatrically on a hillside of Elounda, beachfront Enorme Infinity Elounda - Adults Only offers a view of Elounda bay and the island of Spinalonga. The 5-star resort boasts an outdoor pool, two restaurants & 2 bars. First I’ll start with the staff. Every single person there is super nice and welcoming, they would do anything to make you feel comfortable. There was a lady at the reception called Laura who’s extremely adorable and nice to talk with. We had an issue with the room view not being what we paid for but she arranged a quick solution for us with a smile. The rooms were cleaned twice a day, the food was good and varied everyday and the view from the restaurant was amazing.
