Make no mistake, Numo Ierapetra is an absolute gem in a quiet corner of Crete. Right on the ocean, the hotel tips onto a sandy beach with clear sparkling azure seas. A short drive into the hills or along the coast offers breathtaking views and wonderful tavernas. Hire a car because there is too much here to miss. The hotel is not small but clever design and joyfully friendly staff provide a personable, boutique experience which is both exceptional and memorable. Highlights were the beautifully appointed contemporary rooms, a stunning a la carte restaurant, and two stunning pools. Entertainment was exceptional. No cheesy bands, just a very cool DJ playing some chilled sounds with an occasional accompaniment. One afternoon he was joined by a superb vocalist singing some R&B and Soul classics. Soaring vocals and utterly wonderful. The icing on the entertainment cake was an outdoor cinema with a nightly movie following dinner. We sat in loungers on a barmy evening watching a cracking movie with a bottle of good red wine. Could it get any better! Other highlights include the gym. It is small but well equipped with a good cross section of cardio and weight training kit. Also offered are daily classes from HIIT and Circuit Training through to Yoga and Meditation. Five gold stars to Gym Manager and Personal Trainer, Petros. A wonderful man and a very special trainer with great knowledge and new ideas. Crete is worth visiting just to train with him. Tina our yoga instructor is also brilliant. There is plenty to recommend at Numo Ierapetra but what will bring us back are the wonderful, friendly staff. Every single individual excelled and made us feel welcome and relaxed while delivering five star service at the same time. Special mention to Dimitra and her team. Lia, Rodanthi, Despoina, Eleni and Manos were exceptional. In Guest Experience Costa was superb, and Dana was helpful beyond words. Thankyou Numo Ierapetra. A truly deserved 10/10.
