Creta Vitalis

We stayed for two weeks in a beautiful part of the island, not particularly geared for tourist as there were only two places to eat within walking distance of the hotel with children. There were other towns about 30 minutes walk, one not particularly safe walking but the owner of the hotel knows the taverna owner and they came and collected us but were too busy to return us so we walked home in the dark, not too bad as we didn't have the kids. The town the other way is a better walk, but still a 3 mile round trip, with a Taverna called BOURAKIS RESTAURANT, with beautiful food. We hired a car and this enabled us to get to explore further afield. I had read reviews about the friendly nature of the owners and the staff at the hotel, sadly we did not experience this, helpful but not usual Greek friendly. The pool was beautiful, but no pool bar or snacks/drinks available to buy, as advertised, however there is a shop in walking distances and the small fridge in the room, meant cold drinks could be available throughout the day. Hotel was very clean and finished to a high standard. Chania is only 30 minutes away and well worth a visit.

Lovely traditional family hotel, we felt welcomed from the start and the owners are down to earth, kind and caring people. We didn't have beach towels and they gave us 2 :) Me and my boyfriend had a lovely 3 nights' time there. They have a nice pool facing the sea. Our room was sea view and really comfortable. Had a TV, air conditioning, wardrobes, a desk and a nice clean bathroom! Really pleased with the room. Breakfast was lovely and tasty! Khalatas Beach is really close and I really recommend to go there. Also, if you have a car, have a go at Stavros beach too :) They have a delivery option for food - try Taverna Irene, either takeaway or go there, they are the owners' family and they have the best greek food! Also give a try at Sunset Restaurant too :) lovely food and service.

Loved the friendly family run hotel Very laid back, clean, great breakfast Very Greek

Great place for families particularly if you have a car. Great breakfast included in the price. Drawback is the main road outside which is very busy and dangerous to walk down to the nearest beach. You need a car to get to the beautiful beaches in the area The buses only run every 2 hours and are often late
