simply a great hotel,that is why we are going back again this september.the staff are pretty cool,the food is well tasty and loads of it,first hotel i have ever stayed in and i wasn't dissappointed,iwe were so relaxed after a year of stess i nearly started walking backwards,as i said relax pure just what the doctor ordered.

The location is great - on a sandy beach and close to Retimno and Chania (if you rented a car). Most of the days the sea was very pleasant and quiet. The room was spacious with a balcony where one can see the sea, with aircondition. Very good beakfast. Good facilities such as a pool and a pool bar where... More

This was such a lovely hotel; decor might not be to everybody's taste, but it certainly showed individuality and care. It was the friendly and caring atmosphee which struck us immediately as soon as we arrived. We were also upgraded to superior rooms which had a gorgeous view of the snow capped mountains and the sea.Tthe rooms were large with... More

We travel to Crete twice a year, travelling around the different prefectures, instead of staying in one location. This hotel was very surprising. We booked it while in Elounda on the Eastern end of the island, planning to only stay one day, but ended up staying four. The rooms are really long and narrow, and all seem to point down... More

From day one for the whole 2 weeks, the hotel, staff, food, poolside bar, beach were all fantastic, we had a bottle of champagne & fruit awaiting us for when we got there, as we are in our 50's this all made our honeymoon stay excellent. We went on the on all the little coloured trains into the mountains to... More

I stayed at the Orpheas Resort for 7 nights with my sister at the end of September. Even though the weather wasn't great we really enjoyed our stay. It's not a huge hotel, which I like because it has a friendly, personal atmosphere. Our room had sea view and a beautiful balcony with chairs and a table. The room itself... More

It was my third visit to Crete over many years but I can honestly say that this time was made even better because of my stay at Orpheas resort. This beautiful boutique hotel is well located and has a quiet, refined elegance to it. It's just a real find that represents excellent value and service.

We stayed here for a week in September 2010 after having attended a wedding in the east of the island which we love. We thought we'd extend the trip to have a look around the Chania area and drove for almost seven hours to get here which is definitely NOT recommended - nerves were in tatters by the time we... More

Plus points - hotel, pools and beach all within 60 yards - perfect. Service was excellent, friendly and helpful. Minus - pool barman seemed to forget the happy hour discount ....... everyday!! Took quite a long time to get to the resort with Thomsons and little information about the resort from them either. Overall an excellent place to stay for... More
