Kavos Hotel & Suites

Highly recommend Beautiful room, lovely welcoming staff, and sunsets to die for. Had a wonderful week there

What Stood Out: Our stay at Kavos Hotel & Suites was amazing! We stayed in a suite with a private pool that offered a fabulous view—definitely a highlight of the trip. The housekeeping staff was wonderful—always friendly and did a fantastic job keeping everything spotless. We loved the buffet breakfast each morning, which was delicious and had plenty of variety. The time we spent in the ocean was unforgettable, with crystal-clear waters that made it feel like we were snorkelling in an aquarium. The hotel went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like a complimentary bottle of local wine, honey, and snacks, which made us feel truly welcomed. Another bonus was the car rental included with our room, which made exploring the area easy, and the complimentary shuttle to the airport was incredibly convenient. Our driver also gave us great local recommendations, which we really appreciated. What I Wish I Knew Ahead of Time: The hotel is in a remote location, so having a car is essential to explore the area and access nearby restaurants and attractions. It’s beautifully secluded, but you'll need to plan ahead for dining and activities outside the property. Overall Recommendation: I would highly recommend Kavos Hotel & Suites to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious stay in Crete. The remote location offers stunning views and privacy, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. From the excellent service to the little extra touches, everything about our stay was perfect, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

An exceptional hotel. Spent 10 fantastic days here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect. The staff were amazing and very helpful. Typical Greek hospitality. The rooms spotlessly clean, the grounds in immaculate condition. The pool area was very relaxing and had a great vibe. Plenty of lounge chairs available. The variety and quality of breakfast was really good. We ate at the restaurant several times and it was delicious. It was very busy in the evenings so that tells you something. The head chef even offered our daughter who is studying to be a dietitian at uni a job there next summer. The car they provide for every room is an absolute bonus and needed to get around the island. Some really nice local beaches and taverns around the area. It was easily the highlight of our 6 week European summer vacation. Hope to get there again someday.

This is our go-to place in Crete. We love the well-appointed rooms and super chill local vibe. The pool is gorgeous and the property has made significant investment updating the outdoor areas in the last few years. The clientele is primarily European tourists; a good mix of families, couples, friends, etc. Two small things would be that sometimes parts of the breakfast were cold (which is otherwise good with a wide variety of items) and that the junior suite in the main building (not the new ones with private pools) could use some refreshing. These are small things and wouldn’t prevent me for booking again. We have stayed here four times now and continue to book here. It’s a safe bet as long as you have a car!

What can I say other than that we loved our stay at the hotel. We were staying in Chania, and my boyfriend wanted to find a restaurant on the beach, isolated from the big city. So we came for lunch, which turned into an afternoon of pure relaxation, with a meal with a value for money rarely seen (the special burger was just incredible, I think the best ever eaten). Panayotis welcomed us very warmly, and made our experience even more beautiful; our server Marcos was very attentive too. Following this experience, we came back the next evening, and had an incredible evening, and I'm not exaggerating. The dishes were delicious, and Panayotis was there again to listen to our requests. We decided to come back to the barbecue on Tuesday evening, and having fallen in love with the hotel, we decide to rent a Junior Suite on Tuesday evening, while we were already staying in another hotel. But ending our stay there was a great desire. Despina was very kind, and prepared our arrival as best as possible. The room was amazing. I have rarely stayed in a hotel where the food and the room were both perfect. Small negative point concerning the barbecue, which we found less good than the rest (cooking of certain meats, too dry). But overall, I 100% recommend this hotel. A big thank you to Panayotis and his warmth. He is an asset to this hotel.
