Quiet with access to beach. Staff was super attentive and extremely friendly. Highly recommend for those looking for a peaceful stay with great service.
We came to Crete, Greece for a wedding of close friends. We chose this hotel to be away from the wedding chaos and hustle and stay somewhere quiet and a bit out of the way. This location exceeded our expectations and then some! The food, the staff, the chill atmosphere was exactly what we needed. Thank you to all the staff for being so kind and attentive, we will coming back for sure!
Lovely hotel, perfect for a relaxing break. The pool area is amazing, the staff are exceptional and the hotel just had a very soothing feel to it. The food and drink selection are also great. Highly recommend! Nice restaurants around and only a short drive into Chania
Fantastic resort, wonderfull very friendly staff, great access to the beach and pool, the breakfast/lunch/dinner staff are lovely. We also used the gym. Rooms are spacious and have all necessary facilities. Great roomservice also.
An amazing stay, the staff are fantastic, friendly and happy to help you with all you holiday needs. The food every day has been varied and delicious, the beach, the pool, the cocktails are all fabulous! You do need a car or motorbike to get around, but I would expect that staying anywhere on the island if you want to explore. A holiday in paradise, would highly recommend!
Very good Hotel. Great all inclusive. The staff is very nice and helpful. The food is really good. In the buffet but also in the Restaurant.
There could be some more warm dishes at the Dinner buffet for Vegetarian/Vegan options. We will definitely come back
The pools were great (both the swim up one for my room and the shared pool). The all-inclusive package was worthwhile and food and drinks were very nice. The hotel is great if you plan to stay at the resort - but there isn’t much to do nearby.
I had a very expensive massage and it was terrible - zero pressure and didn’t go for the full time. They then force you to complete a feedback survey whilst two of them stand next to you, it was very awkward.
Some of the staff were lovely, but many were quite unfriendly or borderline rude.
We had the most amazing stay at Asterion!! From we set foot at the hotel the staff was friendly, helpful and sweet. We were always met with smiles and everyone was happy to help with our questions. There is a sense of family but also professionalism within the staff that makes it a really special environment to be in. The rooms are big, clean and stylish and the grounds are beautifully well kept and feel very luxurious. The beach and the pool make for an enjoyable stay where you can really just relax.
A special thank you to George!!! Thank you for beach dinner which made our honeymoon even more enjoyable and unforgettable. It was more than we could have asked for
Would recommend this stay to everyone I know. 10/10 and we hope to be back :)
Pros / overall experience :
A very warm, welcoming and accommodating team running the place under George; spacious and clean rooms with very comfortable bed; generous and varied breakfast buffet and good food and drinks available throughout the day . Location works well if you have a car and want to use the hotel as a base to explore - right between chania and the west coast where there are some incredible turqouise water beaches. Some short hikes to monasteries / caves and wineries in the interior are also accessible so you can appreciate the mountainous scenery. Many guests also stay at the hotel all day and enjoy the pool and bar facilities , in which case would probably recommend upgrading to a room with a private plunge pool and lounger.
Con - wouldn’t go there for the beach in front - it’s nice for the view from the hotel but there are much better beaches within an hours drive that are worth making the effort to go to. Area around the hotel at night can feel a bit desolate (at least in late September) so wouldn’t necessarily recommend venturing too far on foot for dinner .
Food was very good. Service and friendliness of staff was fine, and they let us checkout late without extra charge which was excellent.
The only real downsides is the area around is very underdeveloped - more like a construction site, or waiting to be one.
Also note although it says "designed for adults" there were quite a lot of children, albeit well behaved, fortunately.
While service in Greece, generally, is excellent, this newly reformed hotel takes it to another level. Just as an example, we were surprised with a full service of white wine and cheese while watching the Champions League final in our room, and our team won…! Everybody tried so hard to give their best which is hard to forget. Our experience was incredible. The human touch made all the difference, but of course the first class facilities and beautiful Crete did their part too. From the General Manager, the Operations Chief to every single member of the staff, thank you and Six stars if we could…!
Heerlijk relax hotel, uitstekende service van het personeel

Médiocre et hors de prix
J’ai payé un 5 étoiles ( 350 euros /nuit) nous devions avoir une chambre de 50 m2 elle en faisait 15 tout au plus…
Nourriture médiocre type cantine. Peu de choix ((pas de grille pain)
Cet hôtel mérite 3 étoiles tout au plus et pratique des prix exorbitants (chips 40 g:7 euros)
Il serait bon qu’hôtels.com vérifie mieux ses infos et s’assure que des clients sont traités correctement et que la prestation correspond au prix payé Pour ce qui nous concerne on passe chez la concurrence
Hôtel très agréable, adult only
Très bon petit déjeuner sur une agréable terrasse en bord de piscine
Chambres très confortables
Plage avec du sable et des cailloux mais peu de monde
Toujours des transats disponibles à la plage et à la piscine
Attention une voiture est indispensable
Accueil très sympa
