Great place!

Wonderful resort. Rooms are clean. Pools are lovely. Live music. Several nice bars. Great breakfast. Only had dinner there once but it was good. Lots of places very close by to eat and shop. Beachbus small but nice. I would not hesitate to go again or recommend!
Elizabeth, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

The stay was good for the most part. Its a beautiful jotel with plenty potential. Most attractive on the stretch. A bit dated in the lobby and landscaping needs to be maintained. The maids just knock and enter at the same time. Walked in on me twice.

We had a wonderful stay at The Island Hotel in Crete. The atmosphere was peaceful, and everything was exceptionally clean. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we loved every moment. Highly recommended!

Micheline, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a fantastic stay at The Island. The hotel staff were attentive and courteous, going out of their way to ensure our stay was the best it could be. The beach was excellent, as were the different pool areas within the hotel, offering something for everyone. Breakfast was also very good, although we did not eat at the hotel during the evening, due to the various restaurants available close by.

Awesome resort that’s caters to all your needs. Great friendly staff.
Dino, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was all that we expected, and more. The Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We booked bed and breakfast, and were so glad because there is a wonderful selection of great tavernas and restaurants all within 5 minutes walk. The breakfast choices were manyfold and plentiful, we thoroughly enjoyed breakfast in the sunshine, overlooking the sea. We booked a suite with its own pool, and that was simply sublime. We were able to relax on our own double sunbed in our own pool, with complete privacy. The hotel beach is just 2 minutes walk away, well equipped and the sandy beach gives a shallow and easy walk into the sea. We will definitely be visiting this hotel again.

Perfect vacation spot!

Stunningly designed and very peaceful hotel that made our trip to Crete something really special. If you have the opportunity; book a suite because ours was absolutely beautiful and the feeling of having a pool on your terracce is everything. And we are very thankful to the staff for making our stay so amazing!

Really helpful and welcoming staff. Great breakfast selection. Very clean and good facilities. Recommend the room with shared private pool. Some good restaurants around the hotel but nice food in the resort restaurants as well. Would recommend

Great location. The hotel is right on the beach even though the beach is no the best if Crete. Food quality and range is very good. The staff are excellent and really go out of their way to connect with guests.

This was the most beautiful resort i have stayed at. The staff are amazing, friendly and cant do enough to make it a proper 5 star feeling. I highly recommend staying here. My review can never do justice to how they treat you and how the experience feels.

Great choice of bars, restaurants and pools. Spacious room with a great balcony and view. Easy walking distance to shops, cafes and restaurants outside the hotel. No children!

Fantastic hotel

The hotel was lovely. Never a problem getting a sunbed. Food was good quality and choice the only thing that is not the hotels fault is it is in the direct flight path although after a few days you don’t notice so much
Helen, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The outside areas were perfect, loved all the double day beds and hammocks, the decor was lovely would have liked a more luxurious bathroom but it was perfectly adequate and clean. There was nothing we didnt like. the staff were welcoming and so friendly and the on site spa was perfect too.
Denise Ann, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

great times in Crete

Beautiful resort, the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. We got there late after a delay from the ferry and they gave us a bottle of white wine and small dinner. The buffet breakfast is great and so have many choices that way you can satisfy your need. The room is big enough a had a semi-private pool and the beach is just across the road and you can hear the waves from out room.
Juan C, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice room, pool could have been cleaner. Hydromassage pool had not enough water so not all the jets were working. TV in the room had no movie Chanel
Jurg, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I'm not much for resorts, but we needed a holiday from our holiday. The area isn't much, but The Island is lovely - low-key, lots of pools, several dining options, a nice beach, and our own semi-private pool. The staff was warm and friendly, and always ready to lend a hand. Even a rainy day was fine, as we hung out and read and ate lunch in one of the secondary dining areas, and walked along the beach when the weather finally cleared.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything about this hotel, except the food, was amazing. It was clean, had 3 pools to choose from and it was next to a very nice beach. The room was great, the staff was friendly and helpful. The food was unfortunately very bland and dry. Other than that, the place was a complete 10/10.
Richard, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel to relax

We had a wonderful time at The Island hotel. As a Gold member, we even got an upgrade and were lucky to stay in a room with a shared pool- what an amazing experience. The bed and pillows are super comfortable. The Spa service (pedicure and couple massage) was brilliant. The staff is very friendly. The buffet was very good on most days, though, the à la carte dinner was not worth it in our opinion. The beach is great for swimming and the pool areas are fantastic, too.
5-night trip

6/10 Good

Really good wellness instructor

Unpleasant woman on entrance to dining room for breakfast and dinner. Queues to get into the restaurant even though lots of tables were available. Not allowed to keep your restaurant purchased wine for a second night. Really good Pilates, stretching and yoga. But all the classes were in the morning, one after the other. How can a person attend these and have breakfast. So frustrating. The main pool was great until 13:30. But then the DJ started up. As far as I could tell he was the only person enjoying the bizarre selection of music. It would have suited me better to have no DJ!
8-night trip

4/10 Fair

The resort is nice overall but the rooms are small and bathrooms very small. Our bathroom had mold near the ceiling. While the staff was overall nice, the manager Eva was the worst person we've met, and so was the front desk clerk Maria - no compassion for people whatsoever. We paid for a room with pool, but received one with the balcony facing a wall, and when asked for another room, their excuse was that there are full - we were there in September. Not worth the money we paid for. The manager Eva and the receptionist Maria need extensive training as how to treat people regardlesss of where their origin,
Edmond, 4-night trip

The manager at front of house great eva or Effie. The other front of house staff should be more personable interaction with guest s upon leaving not even a goodbye or smile
