High up in the hills in one of 3 adorable villages we have found our perfect home away from home in beautiful Crete! A comfortable, clean suite with everything we needed for our 3rd stay at Amazones Village Suites with delicious breakfast, fun filled party/BBQ nights, an awesome pool and bar and last but not least the excellent staff made this another very memorable trip. Thank you Caterina, George, Nikos, Nikita, Kim, Daria and Manos for another wonderful time, you are in our hearts and we will definitely be back

Spacious villas, clean and in a good location (above the narrow streets of the village with safe, easy parking). Great views and a pool. Very casual and comfortable atmosphere, they made us feel like family. Bartender Nikos was fun, kind and helpful, as was everyone we encountered. Food was excellent both at the hotel and across the island in general. A beautiful Cretian experience!

Paradise!
This place is amazing! Everything is as one would expect, staff really makes the atmosphere extraordinary. The only downside was the location. The hotel is situated quite high on the hill and if one is on foot, it takes quite a bit of stamina to do the climb. However because of it, the view is absolutely incredible! You made us feel at home, thank you!

Not worth the money at all.
Wonder how Expedia charged us soo much for a full board. I specifically mentioned that we are pure vegeterians...while Expedia team assured that they cater all types of food. We starved without proper food... Eating just bread, butter and potatoes.... For 6 days! It was mentioned near the beach, but it was a very steep hill to climb of 2 km while getting to the hotel. No options for food, standard breakfast with tinned fruits and tinned juices. Expedia looted us for air fare too. We will never ever contact Expedia again... Wrong information, wrong hotel and exorbitant fares. Extremely disappointed.

Up a very steep hill with great views
Hotel was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. But the hotel a bit on the tatty side. No ice cube tray.No where to hang wet items outside. Sheets on the bed all frayed. Curtains in bedroom about 1/2 a meter dragging on the floor and hanging off the rail at the top. Bathroom very dark a very high bath to step into to get a shower that meant my husband was touching the roof that was full of mould. I was also scarred of slipping as nothing to hold onto on getting out of the shower. Poll area needs attention decking very old umbrellas need a 6" nail to keep them up not enough sunbeds at times.

Do not book annex rooms.
The real hotel and staff were lovely but we booked a room in an Annex building which was a 2-3minute walk away not beside the actual hotel. You had to go through a small part of the town. It had no Wi-Fi and no hot water for the first few days until I mentioned it to the staff. I stepped on a small piece of glass in my room which was not from us since we did not break anything so makes me wonder how often they even sweep or clean the floor. Very noisy we could hear all the water from all the other rooms. If I book there again I would not stay in the annex rooms.

GREAT SERVICE
Only stayed 1 night as a stopover due to late night flight and we were travelling to the south of the island. Great place - lovely staff, very friendly. We didn't arrive until around midnight (problems with flight delay) but they had saved us some food (as we had paid half board). Although we didn't experiencing it, the pool looked very inviting. Would definitely recommend for a longer stay.

Mr
This is a great place and we had a lovely family holiday here. All the staff were great! They were super helpful, worked with dietary restrictions, helped us get taxis and plan trips, and made our stay very pleasant. Nikita, Nikos, and George were particularly helpful in welcoming us and taking care of our needs. Our rooms were lovely (each had an air conditioner which made sleeping pleasant), clean, and well-furnished and the facilities are pleasant and welcoming. The grounds are lovely and all the plants and trees are very well managed, my favorite was the grape vines growing on some of the terraces of the rooms we were in. Our group went for the half board option since we had grandparents along and having dinner at the hotel each day was most convenient for them. If I was to visit again, I would go for just bed and breakfast, since there are lots of nice restaurants nearby and trying out various types of delicious Greek food for lunch was great and doing so at dinner to get more options would have been nice, and you can always opt to let the staff know and eat dinner at the hotel if you want. We had a lovely time here and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit Crete!

Fantastic staff - excellent location
We booked 2 nights in this hotel for our wedding anniversary. My husband had asked for the staff to help find us some places to go near by and also if they could bring us some sparkling wine on our anniversary. The staff couldn't have been more helpful with a special thanks to George who was especially helpful. We had a junior suite overlooking the pool and the glorious view. The room was spacious, clean and all the basics were provided. The hotel is a few minutes walk away from lots of lovely restaurants. We continued to walk and found a wide variety of restaurants and gift shops. Overall a fantastic place to stay and we will definitely be returning.

Location hillside, far from the beach, no wifi
Surly need a car, from bus stop to(1hour), airport to(30min) , port to(35min) hotel was very far. Wifi use only bar & pool, have no room, some room to bar little bit far. I think high -level trick of the trade to be used in a bar. So I was in my room I have to meditation ~there was a Buhda & Zen( medtation) picture on the wall. But they have good swimming pool (deep 2m90). 2 hours more before check out, they changing goods put in the room during I have breakfast, so I go out check out before 2 hours, very very unhappy.

We loved our 2nd visit to Amazones Village Suites!
This was our second visit to this gorgeous hotel in the hills above Hersonissos in the middle of 3 adorable villages where you will find absolutely everything you need for a fun and relaxing vacation. Everything was as we remembered and even better. From the minute we arrived we felt like we were coming home and treated as if we were family with great big smiles and a wonderful warm welcome. Thank you for an amazing two weeks Caterina and George and staff, Niko, Nikita, Anna and Kim, you made our return to Crete and the Amazones a dream come true and we will be back again! Delicious breakfasts...we are especially missing the yoghurt, fruit and honey...and the very comfortable room and bed made for good restful sleeps that gave us energy for exploring the beautiful island. Crete is full of history, beautiful mountains and scenery and so many amazing beaches, it truly is a hidden gem of travel!

Its a small family run apartment complex in a very nice location. The apartment is clean and spacious and perfect for a holiday in a hot climate.

DO NOT BOOK THE JUNIOR SUITES!!!!!
On first impression I was extremely pleased as I walked in to check in. A nice lad was then called to take us to our room. Well the juior suites are about a 7-8 minute walk (longer returning as it is uphill) from the main and supremely nicer part of the complex. Garden view....... is a car park next to an empty swimming pool and some run down bar and reception area. Woke up after our first night..... no hot water so a very cold shower was taken. I went to reception next day and pointed out that these things did not match the brochure (as well as the fact that they say there is wifi in every room which is untrue). The response I had was that I had 'booked room only'. I pointed out that room only should mean hot water at least and that I did not require food provided. The reply was that I could buy breakfast for 5 euros if I wanted. I had no option but to laugh at all this really. In the end she promised we could move to the main complex in two days. I went back and spoke to the same woman two days later to make the arrangements and she claimed she couldn't remember and said there were no rooms available. I have stayed in other parts of the island in 2 and 3 star accomodation which are far better than this poor excuse of a hotel. I will never return and strongly advise that the so called 4 star rating this has , is reviewed. It might apply to the main part of the hotel, but certainly not to the Garden suites.

Great hotel
This is a very nice, well run hotel. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive to the needs of guests. The location offers a very nice view and there are many grocery and eating options in the little village within a 5 minute walk. Walking down into town (waterfront, beach, more shops, buses to other cities) is fine but the walk back up the hill is not really feasible for most people. Unfortunately there is no public transport up the hill from the town. Taxis are 6 or 7 euros. A car rental is really helpful to have if staying here and you want to get out and see more of the island - at least for part of your stay.

Definitely recommend this place!
We would definitely recommend staying at this hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious, luxurious, very comfortable and there was an outdoor balcony with a lounger. The 1/2 board was completely worth the price. It was delicious! The service was quick and friendly. They worked really hard to make sure everything was in excellent condition. It was slightly difficult to find and the wifi was only around the lobby/pool area when we stayed but everything, I mean everything else about this place was spectacular. Who needs wifi anyway when you're staying in paradise? Once you know where to find the place, it's not hard to find again.

Far from the beach and few facilities
I booked this for a quiet holiday with a pool to swim in every day. I got the quiet but the pool was empty and so the next best thing was the beach, the closest nice beach was a 2.5km walk down the hill. Breakfast was ok but not high quality. The staff were nice and friendly but this is typical of Crete, I wouldn't say they were exceptional. My apartment was fine, spacious and comfortable but Piskopiano did feel far from everything.
