Creta Star Apartments

8/10 Good

"The place had creative design features and was quite comfortable, but did lack a few details, for example: no coffee or tea, minimal utensils, no broom or tea towels, only narrow thin light blankets, very little space for food prep. "

Bella Vita Style rooms & apartments

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic place to stay. If you want to have a small Greek village experience, you will love this hotel’s location. Yet, it’s an easy drive to several ancient sites and the cool town of Matala. Small family run restaurants are within a short picturesque stroll. The locals are friendly and welcoming. The small village has shops and everything you need for your stay. The local wine is delicious. We had the top floor suite with a private outside area with incredible views of the sea and islands. Parking is easy. Simply drop your bags by the door and head to the hotel’s private parking lot which is not far from the hotel. There are directions in the room to find parking. WiFi was good. We truly enjoyed our stay. "

Paralos Irini Mare

6/10 Okay

"Ignored and Disappointed: Poor Communication by Hotel Management When we extended our stay, the hotel staff failed to inform us about a special 50% May discount. Although the manager later compensated us nicely, our experience with the hotel’s loyalty program has been extremely disappointing. Since our stay, we've made multiple attempts to register for the hotel’s loyalty membership. Despite discussing this directly with reception upon checkout (we were promised a follow-up that never came) and sending three subsequent emails, we've received no response whatsoever. It feels as though the hotel is deliberately avoiding our registration to prevent us from receiving the 10% discount on our next visit, especially concerning given their initial oversight regarding the 50% discount. We remain puzzled by this complete lack of communication from hotel management."
