Kavos Hotel & Suites

What Stood Out: Our stay at Kavos Hotel & Suites was amazing! We stayed in a suite with a private pool that offered a fabulous view—definitely a highlight of the trip. The housekeeping staff was wonderful—always friendly and did a fantastic job keeping everything spotless. We loved the buffet breakfast each morning, which was delicious and had plenty of variety. The time we spent in the ocean was unforgettable, with crystal-clear waters that made it feel like we were snorkelling in an aquarium. The hotel went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like a complimentary bottle of local wine, honey, and snacks, which made us feel truly welcomed. Another bonus was the car rental included with our room, which made exploring the area easy, and the complimentary shuttle to the airport was incredibly convenient. Our driver also gave us great local recommendations, which we really appreciated. What I Wish I Knew Ahead of Time: The hotel is in a remote location, so having a car is essential to explore the area and access nearby restaurants and attractions. It’s beautifully secluded, but you'll need to plan ahead for dining and activities outside the property. Overall Recommendation: I would highly recommend Kavos Hotel & Suites to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious stay in Crete. The remote location offers stunning views and privacy, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. From the excellent service to the little extra touches, everything about our stay was perfect, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

An exceptional hotel. Spent 10 fantastic days here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect. The staff were amazing and very helpful. Typical Greek hospitality. The rooms spotlessly clean, the grounds in immaculate condition. The pool area was very relaxing and had a great vibe. Plenty of lounge chairs available. The variety and quality of breakfast was really good. We ate at the restaurant several times and it was delicious. It was very busy in the evenings so that tells you something. The head chef even offered our daughter who is studying to be a dietitian at uni a job there next summer. The car they provide for every room is an absolute bonus and needed to get around the island. Some really nice local beaches and taverns around the area. It was easily the highlight of our 6 week European summer vacation. Hope to get there again someday.

What can I say other than that we loved our stay at the hotel. We were staying in Chania, and my boyfriend wanted to find a restaurant on the beach, isolated from the big city. So we came for lunch, which turned into an afternoon of pure relaxation, with a meal with a value for money rarely seen (the special burger was just incredible, I think the best ever eaten). Panayotis welcomed us very warmly, and made our experience even more beautiful; our server Marcos was very attentive too. Following this experience, we came back the next evening, and had an incredible evening, and I'm not exaggerating. The dishes were delicious, and Panayotis was there again to listen to our requests. We decided to come back to the barbecue on Tuesday evening, and having fallen in love with the hotel, we decide to rent a Junior Suite on Tuesday evening, while we were already staying in another hotel. But ending our stay there was a great desire. Despina was very kind, and prepared our arrival as best as possible. The room was amazing. I have rarely stayed in a hotel where the food and the room were both perfect. Small negative point concerning the barbecue, which we found less good than the rest (cooking of certain meats, too dry). But overall, I 100% recommend this hotel. A big thank you to Panayotis and his warmth. He is an asset to this hotel.

Firstly the positive points as there were many! 1. The staff are friendly and genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful time. They were very kind and accommodating. All of them! 2. The location is fantastic, with the mountains in the distance and the peace and tranquility. It has to be seen to be believed 3. Pick up and drop off airport rides from Dimitri - they were seamless and the bus was clean and comfortable 4. Vegan cheese for breakfast! very grateful for this. We always found something to eat at breakfast - although it was mainly eggs and meat and animal cheese - there were sometimes cooked tomatoes and mushrooms and potatoes. Cereal and non-dairy milk 5. Wonderful bread and Cretan style potatoes and pasta! and the vegetable risotto was FANTASTIC! so good we ate it twice! 6. Excellent red wine and white rum 7. Raki :-) 8. The housekeeping staff deserve high praise indeed. Every morning without fail, cheerful and professional and thorough - thank you! 9. The free car hire for the entire week! This was fantastic for little trips into Chania old Venetian Harbour (27mins drive) The negatives and there was only one - on reflection we should have booked a larger room without the 'kitchenette' as the self catering aspect didn't work out well for us. Only one hob worked and it was too strange a set-up for us to enjoy. The 2 nights we did cook (limited on one hob) we had to eat it sitting in bed as it was too cold outside. In summer i'm sure we could have coped great and ate outside. Lesson learned.

This is our first visit to this fabulous hotel, just what we needed and perfect from start to finish. Well maintained beautiful surroundings. Exceptional friendly staff all whom were very helpful (air con ladies). Food was delicious, well presented and worth every penny 👏 to the chef. The cocktails every night were just full of flavours and pleasant 👏 to the bar tender. The little quaint hotel room with everything you need within a room. The pool side and dinning area have incredible views all day especially to watch the sunset. I am hoping to come back again and would definitely highly recommend to others.

All the staff are very kind all the time. Nice pool, you can go for a swim in the sea with a perfect water temperature. The rooms are very confortable. In the evenning you can stay by the pool with a nice cokail.
