Located centrally, this hotel is stunning. Parking can be a bit tricky if you are used to North American style car garages, but nothing we couldn’t deal with. Breakfast was incredible as well.

8.8/10 Excellent! (115 reviews)

The owners, Matthew and Kim, are incredibly sweet and welcoming, and they’ve created a truly beautiful hotel. My children absolutely loved it here. The property features two pools and is set in a quiet, picturesque location that’s perfect for relaxing. The accommodations were wonderful—spacious rooms, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and clearly prepared with care. The nearby restaurant options were excellent, offering great variety within easy walking distance. Two beautiful beaches are just a short drive away—both small, peaceful, and never too crowded—which made our days by the sea even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. I loved every moment of my stay and would highly recommend Paradice Luxury Hotel to anyone visiting Crete.

This is in the center of the first block in Old Town. The pace is quiet even though there are a lot of people in the street. There are no cars in the street. And, the walls are stone and with doors closed you can't hear any noise. The place is spotless clean. And, the breakfast is the best I've had any in hotel in over 20 countries! The host was great to anticipate anything that I could think of wanting! I'd come back here just to stay here!
