I can recommend this hotel with all my heart. Extremely friendly staff who are ready to help you with whatever you have in mind and the food they serve in Horizon restaurant is truly glorious. Hotel area is really well taken care of, it's clean and the location on the beach is wonderful.

Questa struttura resterà tra i ricordi più belli dí questa vacanza a Creta , assieme alla baby caretta che ha raggiunto faticosamente il mare tra gli applausi dei presenti!. Colazione ottima , unico neo il bagno, molto piccolo. Molto comoda la vicinanza della spiaggia.

Perfekt!!! Ich kann die Unterkunft nur wärmst empfehlen. Wir kamen etwas zu spät an und wurden trotzdem herzlichst empfangen. Die Angestellten waren alle die ganze Zeit über total freundlich ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Unser Zimmer war groß, sauber und auch die Küchenecke war mit allem ausgestattet, was wir brauchten. Der Ausblick vom Balkon direkt zum Strand war einfach traumhaft! Das Frühstücksbuffet auf der Terrasse direkt zwischen Pool und Strand war jeden Morgen frisch und super lecker. Es gab jeden Tag eine große Auswahl herzhafter und süßer Speisen. Mit frischem Obst und Gemüse. Auch das Abendessen haben wir sehr genossen. Wir hatten einen Leihwagen schon vom Flughafen aus. Diesen konnten wir problemlos am Hotel parken. Mit dem Auto ist man vom Hotel aus „ruck zuck“ in Chania, in den Bergen oder beim nächsten Supermarkt. Wir wollen auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!!!

Lieblos und verbaut - keine Reise wert

Überteuerte Wohnungen 146€/Nacht nennt das Hotel Suite. Trist eingerichtete Zimmer mit minimalistischer Küche (über 30 Minuten bis das Wasser auf dem Herd kocht) und einem Bad für Zwerge. Viel zu klein: für Menschen über 175cm ist die Dusche unbrauchbar, zwei Personen passen nicht gleichzeitig in das Bad hinein. Der Balkon mit Meerblick entpuppt sich als Parterre-Balkon mit Blick auf den Personalein - und Ausgang und auf die öffentliche Toilette. Inklusive der dazugehörigen Gerüche. Es schauen andauernd Peronen in den gesamten Wohnbereich und die Klimaanlage sorgen zudem für Pfützen auf dem Balkon. Der Strand ist verschmutzt mit u.a. Zigarettenkippen. Generell wirkt alles lieblos und heruntergekommen - das Hauptgebäude und Pool sind noch dazu komplett verbaut. Das Hotel war die teuerste und zugleich schlechteste Unterkunft unserer Kreta-Rundreise.

Schönes Hotel mit idealer Strandnähe

Das Caretta Beach Hotel liegt ideal direkt am Strand. Die Zimmer bzw. die Apartments sind sehr groß und bestehen aus einer Küche, einem Wohnzimmer und einem Schlafzimmer. Die Ausstattung ist ein wenig veraltet, jedoch intakt und erfüllt seinen Zweck. Das Badezimmer ist in Ordnung, jedoch beim Verwenden der Dusche wird das Bad überflutet, da der Duschvorhang nicht bis zum Boden hin ausreicht. Im Ganzen ist es ein solides Hotel mit schönem Pool, sehr nettem und hilfsbereitem Personal und perfekter Strandlage.

Individuelles Strandhotel mit Charme

Wir waren im September dort und haben ein Studio bewohnt, was für 2 Personen ausreichend groß und sehr sauber war. Leider liegen diese im Erdgeschoss und der seitliche Meerblick ist etwas eingeschränk. Es gibt eine große, liebevoll bepflanzte Terasse, die sich verschiedene Studios teilen (z. T. abgetrennt), nur wenig überdacht (bei Regen ungünstig). Das Bad ist etwas eng und es mangelt an Ablagen. Es gibt nur 2 deutsche Fernsehsender, dafür funktioniert das WLAN in allen Bereichen sehr gut. Das Hotel liegt direkt am Strand, das Wasser ist sehr sauber, fällt aber nicht flach ab und es gibt immer etwas Strömung. Man kann für 4 € Liegen und Schirm mieten. Am Pool ist es gratis und Badetücher gibt es für 1€. Das Hotel liegt ruhig, Supermärkte und Tavernen gibt es in der Nähe und auch ohne Mietwagen ist der Ort zu Fuss erreichbar bzw. die Bushaltestelle ca. 10 min. entfernt, von da kommt man günstig und unkompliziert z.B. nach Chania. Man kann im Hotel frühstücken, zwischendurch gibt es Snacks und am Abend kocht Katarina traditionelle, leckere Gerichte oder man verpflegt sich selbst. Das Hotel wird familiär geführt, Thea und das Team versuchen, jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen, Danke an Thea und Katharina. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gern wieder. Zum Schluss bleibt zu sagen, wer keine All-Inklusive-Luxusanlage mit Animation braucht, sondern das Individuelle, Familiäre, Ursprüngliche und Besondere zum Abschalten sucht, ist hier bestens aufgehoben und wird sich wohlfühlen.

Relax in un bella spiaggia.

Bella struttura di medie/piccole dimensioni direttamente a mare. Grande spiaggia, bel mare e posto non affollato. Nell'appartamento mancava il condizione nel soggiorno/camera che risultava quindi molto caldo. Bellissima terrazza attrezzata con vista mare. Personale molto cortese e disponibile.
