Phaedra Hotel

Please ignore that this hotel only has a formal 2* rating - this family run hotel gives a 5* experience. The location is literally 10 paces from the beach. The hotel is spotless with spa slippers, dressing gowns and pool towels. Nikos the Manger is a perfect host - we had a prompt personal response from him upon booking directly and got a much better rate than through 3rd parties! Nothing was too much trouble and he is always happy to have a chat with you. Georgia at the pool bar is one of the kindest, happiest people you could meet and also makes a fab frappe coffee - I hope to return - couldn't fault this hotel - they have lots of guests who return year after year which says it all ....

The epitome of Greek hospitality This place is SPECIAL!!! First class service in a very relaxed casual atmosphere. The epitome of Greece's famed hospitality. Nikos the owner and Georgia the barista/cook made us feel as if we were long post beloved relatives or old friends. It's not possible to capture what we loved about this place in photos or even words... It was the feeling we had from the moment we arrived to the moment we love. I've never had a better hotel/hospitality experience in my life ...and I'm a seasoned traveler, with experiences in some of the best hotels all around the globe.

Simply the best! You feel safe, secure, relaxed, welcomed, and taken care of. Everyone in the staff is friendly and greets you wholeheartedly. Housekeeping is excellent, pool bar is cosy and inviting leading to conversations with both staff and guests, the beach is superior to Agia Marina and Platanias, and the manager Nikos treats everyone as a part of his Phaedra family. All this makes it feel like a home away from home. Rooms and standard is excellent. You don't hear the neighbors taking a shower or breaking wind like in many other hotels. The pool and pool area is top-notch. Beach in front of the hotel is as mentioned superior to other beaches in the area. Parking close to the hotel on the street is almost never an issue. I can't speak highly enough about Phaedra and the people making it what it is. We will for sure come back next time in Crete and hopefully that is in a year!

Ein ganz tooles Hotel. Nikos und sein Team geben einem das Gefühl von der ersten Minute an im Urlaub zu sein. Alle sind so herzlich. Die Zimmer sind für einen selbstversorger Urlaub gut ausgestattet. Fragt am Besten vor der Buchung, welche Zimmer frei sind. Wir würden oben und nicht an der Straße bevorzugen. Alles andere findet man in der Umgebung. Supermärkte und Restaurants. Mit Auto zum Lidl (günstiger als die Supermärkte). Direkt vom Balkon Blick auf den Pool, Strand und Meer. Liegen am Pool und Strand hier kostenlos. Bei einigen anderen Hotels bezahlt man von 8 bis 45€ am Tag. in der Anlage leben auch einige Katzen, die man mit Futter und Streicheleinheiten verwöhnen kann. Uns ist der Abschied schwer gefallen.

Très joli complexe de studios et d’appartements. Hôtel très bien situé en bord de mer, calme et très propre. Nikos et Georgia, merci pour votre magnifique accueil et votre gentillesse. Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour. Hôtel à recommander

Small quiet family run hotel on the edge of the sand. Staff are all 7 star friendly happy and couldn’t be more helpful. Great bar by the pool for snacks and drinks. Pool and gardens well attended to. Rooms serviced everyday. Our room with a balcony was perfect - clean and bright with a small kitchen area great for making a morning cuppa or light snack with a full size fridge. Good shower. Comfy beds. A choice of sun beds by the pool or on the beach. This is a quiet hotel, the snack bar closed by 18.00 , no evening entertainment but that’s just what we wanted . Easy walk to lots of good restaurants in town . Nicos can arrange anything! Good recommendations organise taxis and always around for a chat and to get feedback. Georgia is a star.
