Sfakian Horizon ★★

"Horizons is a series of rooms and two roomed apartments at the very back of Chora Sfakion: excellent for view but a hard walk down to the main village. We had a two roomed apartment. Ghastly bathroom: small shower area - hand-held shower- stickty shower curtain. One doublebed bedroom with TV, very poor lighting but with access to private balcony: another room with a poorly fitted (cheap?) kitchen area, some ill-made upright chairs ( the backs were not fitted correctly), one day bed and a TV. Breakfast was a buffet with coffee /tera. orange juice (good), four sorts of bread (fresh) cereals, fresh melon, yoghurt, honey and orange jam, spanokopita or tiropita, cucumberm olives, tomato, little apple turnovers, rizogala, and hard boiled eggs, hot scrambled eggs and hot bacon. Well presented. We paid 90 euros cash per night for the two of us to use an apartment and have breakfast. not bad value for money. The snag for us was that to get to a room you needed to walk down stairs. These are Cretan stairs: no handrail and there was no overwhelming willingness to help with our bags. (I am elderly and find stairs very difficult). However while there was no offer to help us load our car when we left, no praise could be too hogh for the ladies who cleaned our apartment daily. Excellent service"

Gigilos ★★★

"Really good service and a really nice room. Gift of local honey on departure was a touching surprise. Meals were good. Location was good. I’d recommend this hotel for all. It’s a starting point for one of the hikes on this part of Crete, we it’s a path leading to Marmara."

Fata Morgana Studios & Apartments ★★★

"We stayed here for two weeks. The location is excellent, right above Orthi Ammos beach and in the centre of an olive grove. Our reception was warm and friendly and we had no issues whatever during our stay. The apartment was very clean and everything worked properly including the air conditioning, ceiling fan, Wi-Fi and TV. There was plenty of hot water and the shower pressure was good. The large bed was comfortable and sleep quality was high; we slept with the patio doors open every night. There are good fly screens on every window: we had no issues with mosquitos. There was adequate tableware and enough kitchen equipment to prepare simple meals - we made breakfast and lunch ourselves and had dinner out most days. Basically, an excellent self-catering apartment. There is a useful supermarket about 1 km away which, though tiny, carries all the stock we could possibly have needed. Fata Morgana loans sun umbrellas and beach towels which was very helpful. Take some string to tie the umbrellas to stones if the wind is strong. Our apartment was on the ground floor and had a small balcony with table and chairs. It felt very private. The rooms have all been recently refurbished and upgraded; the design of our room was very good, with lots of matching curtains and sunblinds. A car is essential here. The route through the mountains from Chania is not as difficult as it would appear from a map. The beach is sandy and shelves very gently so swimming, or playing in the water, felt very safe. Access is via a sand dune that becomes really hot, so bring suitable footwear. However, when the strong meltemi or etesian wind blows the beach can be uncomfortable - as with all Greek islands in the Aegean. We definitely recommend Fata Morgana. "

VENTUS Luxury Suites ★★★

"Perfect location in this corner of heaven. From check in to check out the service was amazing. The room was lovely, comfy bed, kitchen and awesome shower. Don’t use the hot tub but with a beach on the doorstep why would you!"

Sweet Corner Masxali ★★★

"Laut eigener Aussage möchte Sweet Corner Masxali Ihren Besuch so entspannend und angenehm wie möglich gestalten. Und das gelingt dem Restaurant voll und ganz: eine hervorragende Lage mit Meerblick und direktem Strandzugang, freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal und das beste Essen in Agia Roumeli – einfach köstlich."

Livikon by the Sea ★★★

"Wir verbrachten sieben Tage mit meiner Frau in diesem Hotel und hatten eine fantastische Zeit in den renovierten Zimmern mit Blick auf das tiefblaue Libysche Meer. Die Matratzen waren unglaublich bequem, wir haben so gut geschlafen wie noch nie. Der Kaffee am Morgen war der beste, den wir im Urlaub getrunken haben. Das Personal hat sich hervorragend um uns gekümmert, wir fühlen uns sehr wertgeschätzt und kommen nächstes Jahr auf jeden Fall wieder. Ich wünschte, wir hätten länger bleiben können. Der Strand ist nur eine Minute zu Fuß entfernt. Kostenlose Parkplätze gibt es wenige Meter vom Hotel entfernt. Insgesamt war unser Aufenthalt viel besser als erwartet, wir hätten uns nie vorstellen können, dass wir so eine schöne Zeit haben würden."
