Creta Vitalis

Just returned home after a fantastic week away at Creta Vitalis with my girlfriend, everything was fantastic and can’t believe I’m back home in England :( The weather was extremely hot just as we like it :) The hotel was beautiful and very clean. Hotel staff was fantastic, the elderly gentleman who I believe owns the hotel was very friendly with us and made us feel very welcome and made us laugh with his great sense of humour 😁 Rooms cleaned and fresh towels almost everyday and the cleaner was very friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel and I would 100% stay here every time I visit Crete, you just get left alone to do your own thing with nobody bothering you which is very good, Also as others have said they isn’t any paths to walk on so your mainly walking on the road to the shop/restaurants or beach. There is not much about so to see other villages you really need a car or to use the bus, but we just stayed local and relaxed all holiday ☺️ This place is very close to the airport too and you see planes ✈️ flying over very low often which I thought was fantastic 😃 there is an airbase near by and fighter jets fly out which can be very loud! We will be back next year 😎👍🏼

Very sad to leave this wonderful family owned hotel today. We stayed for three nights as was close to airport and Kalathas Beach before we flew home. It is a lovely hotel. Clean and comfortable. Fantastic room cleaning service every day. Beautiful pool with panoramic views. However the best part are the family who run it. They are so pleasant and kind and nothing is a problem. They provide a lovely atmosphere. My kids had a great time and we are looking forward to returning soon.

One of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at! The room was perfect, the staff were warm and welcoming, and it felt extremely safe for a female solo traveler. I would come back here any time and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

We stayed at the hotel for the last week of our holiday and were slightly taken aback when shown to our room. Pictures on booking websites along with the information relating to it, were unfortunately not a true representation of it. The pool bar remained closed throughout our stay which we found disappointing and ended up at Lena Beach Hotel which for the same money was simply wonderful!! The pool tiles were filthy all around the edges and the depth signage were all loose and randomly placed around the outer edge. Breakfast was like a scene from Fawlty Towers and if you wanted your bread toasted, you had to hand the slices over to the person in the kitchen. We ate there once and that was enough. If you are driving, be extremely careful as there is no mirror on the very busy main road that you need to cross to get into the carpark. We took deep breaths each time we had to do so. There are amazing places nearby but a car is almost a must in this area as there are no pavements and very limited places to walk to. Highlight was the adorable cat that used to greet us in the morning and evenings upon our return. Room was generally clean and functional but not as the picture. Such a shame as the place has bags of potential.

We booked the villa. 2 bedrooms, large living room, 2 bathrooms, balcony included. Everything was just perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice pool. To the fantastic beach just a 10 minutes walk. Only small negative point : breakfast was very basic.
