Arrived at night so it was a great surprise to wake up to a great view to the front of the hotel. Just stayed one night but would be pleased to return for a longer stay.

We stayed in one of the private pool suites and it was simply amazing! If you're looking for peace and quiet, that's the place to be... Breathtaking sunsets by the pool and one of the best restaurants we've experienced in Crete. Fantastic food, even harmonizing with different olive oils (which we later bought). A true gourmet experience! But above all, the STAFF! The friendliest people, making sure at all times we were safe (due to COVID) and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and book it again!

Almost perfect, except for suites
This place has one weakness and that is the condition of the suites, or in particular our suite #1 garden view studio. From the first time entering the room it had a wet musty smell and after examining the room it makes sense. It has moisture issues from two sources. There is water moisture coming through the concrete wall which is underneath the air conditioner unit. Outside there is water seepage from the units and it is draining into the ground and then absorbing through the wall. The paint is cracked and warped inside as it is trying to come through. The second source is the bathroom which only has a tiny window for ventilation, no fan. So the water moisture has a hard time escaping and also goes into the bedroom area. The rest of the facilities and location is 5 star though. The breakfast was plentiful and satisfying albeit not very special, although they have great fresh smoothie juices. They have an on-site restaurant all day which you can even use after checking out. There are not any other local sources of food so this is good. The pool area is fantastic and well planned out with powerful jets in the main pool too. However, the hot tub jets are too powerful and make it unpleasant. There is a bay and dock you can go swimming from. Beautiful water, it seemed warmer than the pool. You would want water shoes though or just use the dock to swim from as the beach area is rocky. All in all we would not come back unless the suite is better.

Amazing location, relaxing and restful.....
The Kavos Beach is situated on a rugged, scenic coastline with sea views as far as you can see, and a lovely breeze while by the pool. The pool was delightful, quiet and relaxing with very helpful staff who bought drinks to you when you ordered at the bar, this was not expected and added to their ethos that nothing is too much for trouble for the staff at the Kavos Hotel. Location is remote, and if you like to walk - great. Otherwise, hire a car, we didn't and walked which we enjoyed and then took taxi's into Chania a few evenings to enjoy the hustle and bustle of a coastal city - don't miss Chania its fab!

Stunning location! Car needed! Shop 5min drive. Beautiful location to chill out. Nice breakfast. But lunch was first come first serve....so regularly ran out of food... Had a "kitchenette" in half our wardrobe...so we managed with lunch.... Local restaurants were reasonable.... Chania 25min drive (not sure how much by taxi).....worth it for the beauty of the place! every turn was a new adventure!

An Absolute Paradise!
Felt like I was in an oasis. Beautiful new facilities, stunning pool with poolside hot shower. Lots of sunbathing spots and so close to the beach you can hear the waves from your room. Good breakfast and you can order delivery from local Staff are helpful and friendly. Hiring a car from them was easy and value for money-you will need to a car to enjoy as much as you can around the area. Room was very clean with a small kitchenette. Make sure to bring mosquito repellant if you're prone to insect bites!

There are no restaurants within walking distance but the staff can give recommendations for restaurants within a 5 minute drive or help you order delivery.

Good facilities but remote
This is a nice hotel on the coast with sea views. The amenities are good, including a pool and well appointed rooms. However the hotel is about 15 minutes drive from Chiania which means you need to have a car in order to easily access the sights. It also makes it that much further to be able to drive to other locations on the island.

It's one of those places where you may just stay one night but wish you would have stayed longer. Apartments are clean, beds (unlike anywhere else in this country) were comfortable, service very friendly, pool area has beautiful views of snow covered mountains as well as the sea. Breakfast was ok too. Would go back without hesitations.

Wow!
OK, my wife and I stayed here on the last two days of the hotel being open in the 2014 season ( closes end of October to April). Let's just say that the staff is mega friendly and informative. From check-in to check-out, we had only pleasant interactions with everyone. We had a car and drove around west Crete from here. It was perfect distance to all. The owner informed us the hotel will be getting a new larger and trendier pool over the winter to welcome the new season, including a hot tub. This will only make the place even better. Our room was comfortable, and I really enjoyed the multi-head shower. Also in room were a small fridge and an oven. The balcony overlooked the water, and there were fresh flowers growing on the premises giving a nice scent when walking around. We will definitely stay here if back on Crete! No hesitation with this one.

Quiet place to stay while in Crete.
This hotel came at a great price and included a free breakfast. The hotel manager and staff were quite friendly and welcoming. The buildings and rooms looked new and were clean. The mattresses were very firm, this did not bother me but it might bother someone used to a soft bed. The hotel has a nice salt water pool. It is not on the beach, but Stavros beach is nearby and some people were swimmimg in the rocky coves by the hotel (it is on the seaside, just not a beach).

Very romantic
Excellent hotel, certainly a little piece of paradise in Crete. It's pretty remote so you would certainy need a car but once you get there it really is very peaceful and the sunset is lovely. Very romantic for couples. Room was very clean, well equipped, bathroom was of a very high standard and the design of the hotel (or I should say apartments) is very modern. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to a friend, and well priced.

we only stayed overnight before travelling on
Hotel was about 8km drive from Chania airport. Very nice hotel with a small beach on a rocky coast. Was more like a samll apartment than just a room with a small kitchenette and two balconies. Staff very nice and helpful. Had nice pool deck next to reception with bar and restaurant facilities. Hotel was quite a way from the local facilities(ie village shops) so a car would be a must(or a long walk). All in all it would be a hotel I would recommend

Recommended hotel in countryside with sea view
Great hotel and good location in the quiet countryside with beautiful view of sunsets. Got upgraded to better room without surcharge. Friendly staff that gives good service. Good breakfast and other meals in the restaurant too. The hotel has its own car rental service; free airport transport when renting a car for three days. Would recommend and stay there again where I’d like to stay in the new apartments with own pool and sea view!

Das Kavos ist ein traumhaftes Hotel nördlich von Chania, mit direktem Zugriff zum Meer und somit einem verzaubernden Blick aufs weite Blaue des Mittelmeeres. Sehr modern eingerichtet, mit besonderen architektonischen Elementen, einer sehr stilvollen Einrichtung und sehr nettem und hoch-professionellem Personal, ist es der perfekte Ort für einen luxuriösen, entspannten und genussreichen Urlaub. Sehr empfehlenswert ist auch das hauseigene Restaurant am Poolbereich, was mit kulinarischen Higlights, verfeinerten lokalen Spezialitäten und exzellentem Service das Urlaubsfeeling nochmehr steigert. Wir haben im Kavos 2 wunderschöne Tage erlebt und würden es bei einem erneuten Besuch in der Region bevorzugen. Vielen Dank an das Kavos-Team für die schöne Zeit dort.
