My mother and I stayed here from 23rd-30th... What a total waste of money, even if it was cheap! Service: At first we didn't have any problems with the bar staff. However, we found Ella to be quite ignorant. She pretends she does not understand what you are saying when she quite clearly does (she spoke to other guests in... More

We, four of us, stayed at the hotel for 10 days early in October 2012 on an all inclusive holiday, it was fantastic value, the food wasn't particularly imaginative but tasted OK, and for the money was very good and plentiful. The receptionists helpful and, waiters and maids were brilliant. The room were kept immaculate and clean while the attentive,... More

My Girlfriend and I (both aged 20)came to stay at Kalia beach for a week 6th-13th October. We arrived about midnight, and our first impressions were absolutely horrendous. As we arrived to reception the friendly member of staff checked us in and took us to our small and dingy room. As other reviews have stated, the rooms are extremely basic,... More

We returned to Kalia Beach this year for 2 weeks after having spent 1 week last year so that kind of speaks for itself...why did we go back? It's a great base for getting around Crete offering value for money, great service, friendly locals, helpful staff, chilled out atmosphere and a varied selection of good local food. I cannot understand... More
