St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas

Excellent. The hotel itself is very classy and tranquil, and the food is excellent. The views are beautiful. However, what made our holiday so fabulous were the staff .They just made us feel so welcome, and nothing was we asked for was any problem what so ever from the minute we arrived. We had a fantastic stay. We definitely hope to return next year. Thank you from the Crolla Family

Just fabulous. The hotel itself is beautiful and the facilities are amazing, and the food is excellent. The views are spectacular. However, what made our holiday so fabulous was Alexandros and his team. They just made us feel so welcome, and we chilled out as soon as we arrived. We had the experience of a home from home. We definitely hope to return next year.

Just returned from a fabulous stay in this beautiful hotel. It’s run like a well oiled machine that exudes efficiency and professionalism. Customer service is excellent and the restaurant staff deserve a particular mention for their warmth and desire to please. The hotel seemed busy but it was always possible to find places to sunbathe and relax in a quiet corner. Every attention has been given to detail and it’s totally luxurious. Now for the food… what can I say? Absolutely first rate with a huge variety . It was impossible to exercise restraint at the buffet in the Labryinth restaurant. It will definitely be on our list of somewhere to return to.

We’ve just returned from another wonderful stay at St Nicholas Bay Hotel, and once again, it was a magical experience. There’s something truly special about this place – from the friendly and attentive staff to the beautiful rooms, delicious food, and stunning beach. A special mention must go to Alex, the General Manager, who leads a fantastic team that consistently makes our visits unforgettable. My family and I have been coming to St Nicholas Bay for almost 20 years, and what impresses us each time is how the hotel continues to improve. The newly renovated pool with its breathtaking sunset views, along with other small yet thoughtful upgrades that enhance the overall experience. It's a rare find – a place that combines familiar comfort with continuous innovation. The breakfast is excellent, with a lovely view over the pool outside, with incredibly fresh food. The lunch options are top draw and you are spoiled for choice for dinner - the "Greek Evening" event each week is a must try. Thank you to the entire team at St Nicholas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas for always going above and beyond!

Just returned from an 8 night stay. From the moment we arrived it felt like we had made the right choice. As you pull up the drive you get an immediate feeling of beauty and calm. The grounds are stunning and immaculate, beautiful pools, seating areas and last but not least the tiered bay sun decks built into the rocks along with a small beach in the cove are just wow ! The food at breakfast and dinner was really lovely and plentiful, with a beautiful lunch restaurant too. All of the above would not work without a fantastic team led by Alex the general manager who is very visible making sure guests are happy and being attended to by his team. Without doubt we would love to return, as this hotel just leaves you feeling relaxed, refreshed and recharged. Thank you St. Nicolas Bay

Lovely rooms, staff, plentiful areas to enjoy the stunning coastline and water. Breakfast buffet great but for us, the evening buffet fell short. A couple of fresh grills seving freshly cooked fish and meat would make it more special, when it's left to keep warm on a buffet it looses it's appeal.

Truly fantastic from start to finish. This is a fantastic 5 star hotel where each and every guest are truly cared about (but not in an overbearing kind of way). The hospitality we received was impeccable, with so many complimentary gifts, we felt spoiled. The restaurants are fantastic and the wine list varied. Breakfast is idyllic served in the shade of the trees overlooking the ocean. We were upgraded to a 3 person villa which exceeded our expectations and would be a wonderful base for a family/small group. The location is great, being only a short taxi ride into Agios Nikolas and Elounda. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for demonstrating the true meaning of filoxenia.

This is a beautiful hotel with great staff, we had a studio room with private pool on half board basis. We ate at the Greek restaurant and the Asian, both very good, the buffet restaurant was lovely with a great choice, there is a nice little beach bar & restaurant too. The only thing that let it down for me was the pools were salt water, which I found very difficult to swim in and this was one of my main reasons for getting away, I wanted to build my fitness after a year of cancer treatment, I never expected a salt water pool to be so difficult, it’s like being in the Dead Sea where your legs keeping floating up! The main pool is lovely to look at but hardly anyone in it because it’s also very cold, speaking to others they felt the same, too cold and difficult to swim in. The beach is small & gritty, not particularly attractive and not suitable for children, I would say this is a couples resort, there were 2 couples I noticed with new babies but no other children, it’s not really geared up for children, I would also say not suitable for those with mobility issues, it’s hilly with a lot of steps to restaurants. We were let down by transport we arranged through British Airways and ended up getting a taxi from airport which was 85 euros. Taxi in to town is 7 euros, a lively town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Room was lovely but only coffee machine, I asked for kettle and fresh milk for tea which was no problem as room service is excellent. If I wasn’t fussed about the pool I would definitely go back, this hotel has a lovely feel about it

My husband and I have just returned from St Nicolas, we had a 10 night stay in a classic studio with a private pool. On the night of our arrival, we were literally stunned at how beautiful and clean the room was, the pool was perfect and from then we knew we were going to have a fabulous stay! We also used one of the main pools too which was a lovely saltwater infinity pool. There were plenty of sun beds available each day. The private beach was beautiful, the water was warm and crystal clear. My husband snorkelled each day as there were so many beautiful fish to see. We were half board which provided us with breakfast and evening meal. We did have discounted access to the themed restaurants which looked beautiful but we didn’t get around to booking one of them. We found the Labyrinthos restaurant was perfect, offering some of the best food of any hotel we have ever stayed in and authentic Greek options. We could select starters and mains from a wonderful buffet area and choose a main from a menu which changed each day. We ventured into Agios on a couple of evenings and found this to be beautiful! The tavernas had stunning views of the sea whilst you ate. There were also lots of interesting shops to see. A taxi from the hotel was only €7 for a 5-10 min journey. All the staff in the hotel were amazing and super friendly and helpful, working hard to keep the resort looking clean and immaculate. I would like to especially mention Maria, Nektaria and Ellie who mainly looked after us at meal times and were always so cheerful, happy and couldn’t enough for you! I will miss them! We wouldn’t hesitate to return again as it was a truly stunning holiday and gave us a touch of paradise, if only for a few days! Thank you to all at St. Nicolas!
