"I absolutely loved my stay at The Island hotel and would recommend anyone to book! The hotel was large but extremely well maintained, the staff were lovely and breakfast included such an array of tasty food. Incredibly clean and I felt very safe as a solo female traveller. The pools were fantastic and I easily spent hours there!
Such a treat and I would love to return some day. Thank you to all the staff! "
"The property was superbly postioned... Just steps from the sea... The owners were very welcoming to me which was reassuring as i was staying alone. My room was airy and spacious. The decor and furnishing was slightly dated but did not bother me as it was very clean. The bathroom was small and could do with modernising the shower but it was adequate. I think they should advertise the cost of the air conditioning as for some €7 a night may eat into their spending money if on a budget.
I would...
"The hotel is very nice. It’s not convenient to have to check in 100 meters down the street or go there for breakfast or to use the pool. The noise of the airplanes going overhead is very noisy."
"We took a bit of a risk when we booked this hotel as there were no reviews available but it looked clean and spacious and was in a great location.
It turned out to be a great decision. The rooms are large, bright and airy and cleaned daily, and the air conditioning is quiet and very powerful.
We were only here bed and breakfast and the breakfast was continental style and suited us fine.
The bar staff, Alexander and Michael were great, chatty, friendly and funny without bring over bearing,...
"The staff was very friendly and Kind. The food was very good and dinner/ lunch menu changed daily so you never had the same.
The beach is just a few meters away from the hotel (2 minute walk )
I defenetly recommend this hotel ☺️

"The hotel is located between a little fishing port and couple small rocky beaches. But entering the Hotel and the Pool & seaview wake up definitely gives you a feeling of relaxation.
Alex and Max and their team have all been lovely and very friendly giving us plenty of local tips and support !!
No rush on sunbeds, plenty of availabilities and the pool is great. The restaurant/ Bar inside managed by Max is a very convenient to continue your chilling vacation and order food and drinks by the pool ! ( Thanks for the Fredo coffee! )
Small beaches to enjoy snorkeling and a Sandy beach 2 mins walking distance from the hotel.
Groceries and restaurant are available at a 5 min drive from the hotel and remain open quite late. Well positioned between Iraklio and Malia definitely a Great hotel to chill and explore various cities nearby."
"From the very first minute after arriving, I got a great vibe! The hotel owner and all the staff fulfilled every one of our wishes! The hotel is clean and has a beautiful pool for guests, plus a lovely beach just 2 minutes away! There are also several excellent Greek restaurants nearby, within walking distance or a short drive.
I would like to emphasize once again the incredible kindness of the owner and staff – we truly felt at home, as if we were part of the family! Just as an example: when they recommended a nearby restaurant, the hotel owner immediately called ahead, and when we arrived, they were already waiting for us at the entrance and even gave us a discount at the end!
Once again, thank you to Mr. Nektarius and the entire hotel staff! My family and I can’t wait to come back next year!"
