Caldera Village

10/10 Excellent

"It was really good, highly recommend"

Elysia Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay, great location, beautiful and historic property. Breakfast was delicious! Thank you!"

Monastery Estate Venetian Harbor

8/10 Good

"Location was excellent - walkable to waterfront in old town and close to lots of restaurants. Our room was in the main building (preferred), and not the one across (need to carry suitcase up the stairs). The room itself was small. Breakfast was excellent, with good egg and non-egg vegetarian options. The property is built around old ruins and the ruin has been showcased, which was special. The staff were very helpful and sweet. The bathroom was a bit awkward. There was not a lot of space to keep things by the sink, but there was space outside the sink area. The shower option was hand shower in an open round tub, which took a bit of adjusting. One could not stand and shower, else the water would splash around. The tub itself was beautiful, but not very practical. There was one time where the water pressure in the commode was not sufficient and it would not flush; had to wait for a bit. There was no cream for coffee in the room, but the restaurant downstairs brought us steaming milk & soy milk upon request, which made our coffee in the room very enjoyable. Overall, recommend this place."

Cretan Dream Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean & comfortable. Beds were great, pillows not good. Bedroom layout and space is more than enough. Bathroom is large, with privacy. Balcony is huge! Housekeeping is meticulous. Swimming is great. Bar was busy, bartender very formidable. We didn't go to the beach, its across the street.Would stay there again"

We stayed here for a few days on our honeymoon and they gave us a few complimentary drinks. Breakfast was also so delicious. From a logistics standpoint this hotel is in a perfect spot. Minutes away from the main strip in Old Town. Lovely time!"
