Relaxing and beautiful spot to rest
Staff here are almost as lovely as the views. Breakfast was delicious with lots of variety. The bedroom was comfortable and clean, AC worked (except when you had to leave the room with the key) but the bathroom is weird with the showers allowing water to flood the floor (this is normal in Greece I think). Taxi's charge a lot to get to and from here- so book a rental! Overall- very happy with my stay and look forward to going back!

I needed a night stay near Balos beach and this was ideal location to enjoy my trip next day. Rooms were nice but the headboard of bed was little uncomfortable. There was counter sticking at the top of headboard which I hit my head multiple times. Its an easy fix by installing padding chusion of 3 inches on headboard.

The property is located in a convenient area if visiting balos beach. The staff was super friendly and outgoing. The food options at hotel are terrible, however, it is located about 800 meters from Grambousa (best meal in crete). I would highly recommend going there for a dinner (might have to wait but have a beautiful outside garden bar). The air conditioner in our room was broken. For the price per night, think it is overrated and should be less.

Very convenient location if visiting Balos Lagoon. The restaurants near by the hotel are really good. The hotel facilities are very nice, but the service wasn’t great. It can be better and so is the food served for breakfast. Other than that great location.

not worth the price, everything inside the room is cheap and old (kitchen), far away from everything, the „private“ beach is a disaster... Stay downtown in Kissamos!

It could be better
We arrived to this hotel around 5pm after a long drive. The young lady in the reception either has little experience or little willingness to help..eg. unable to answer some questions regarding dinner menu ....lift her finger to help with our carry-on... Upon check-in our room, the room filled with urine smell, the bathroom area was wet, smelly and had some strand of ugly hairs... The hotel offered to move us to another room next day, not that night. We declined .. too trouble to move since we wanted to enjoy the Balos beach. Do not recommend.

Great spot to explore Cretes best beaches
We had an excellent stay at Balos. It made an excellent base to visit Chania, local wineries, Balos Beach as well as Elafonissi. We did not spend all that much time at the hotel as we were exploring, but the rooms do have lovely sea views and the pool is great for a dip after a long hot day. The staff are exceptionally helpful and polite. The rooms themselves are quite big, but a little impractical with large desks and so forth which I think could be done away with since this area does not strike me much a business traveler hotspot. But still very comfortable stay. Lovely shower head which was a rare luxury during our 3 week trip, little compact kitchen with a fridge, a great view with outside table and chairs. Can not comment on breakfast as we opted to self cater. We did have dinner one evening, and did not really enjoy the food. We loved experiencing the authentic greek home cooked food, so we were a little disappointed with the average every day hotel food served at Balos. Other than the food, we would definitely recommend this hotel.
