Lyttos Mare 5 stars

Anissaras, Hersonissos - 150 yards from beach

Located in Hersonissos, 500 metres from Analipsi Beach, Lyttos Mare provides accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a shared lounge. Featuring a kids' club, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant, a water park and a terrace. The accommodation offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests. A lovely resort in every way! We were given a family room, which was perfect for a family of 4! It was comfortable, clean and very spacious. Staff all over the resort were warm and the facilities were lovely. There are several pools to swim in, and sunbeds were always available. Evening entertainment was wonderful for both, adults and children. There were also many sporting and fun activities throughout the day. In terms of food, the Greek restaurant was our favorite, and we could have eaten there all day, every day! The food was extremely fresh and flavorsome. We tried the Asian restaurant which was good, and the main buffet (quite busy) had several culinary themes throughout the week. The waterpark (which is awesome!) is in the hotel adjacent to Lyttos Mare, but they are both connected. There is a small yet convenient supermarket within the resort, in addition to a fun arcade room. Would highly recommend this resort!

Enorme Santanna Beach 4 stars

Ierápetra - 200 yards from beach

Facing the beachfront, Enorme Santanna Beach offers 4-star accommodation in Ierápetra and has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property. All the staff was extremely nice and helpfull all the time. The rooms are very nicely organized and furnished (we loved the 2 large closets for clothes in which we could also fit all our lugagge, thus keeping the room tidy as we like it). Panagiota (if i remember corectly) from the spa has magic hands :D. We also loved that there was a small gym with just enough equipment for us. The entire complex is very nice, with small buildings that sit on a steep hill (they helped with luggage and a golf car is always available for anyone who might need it). It is very well maintained and constantly cleaned. There is a tunnel under the road that connects the hotel to the beach, which is great. You might say that the beach is not great (rocky, with small black pebbles and some sand), but after you visit 8 other beaches in the south-east part, you realize the beach is actually very good.

Centrally located in Chania, just 1 km from the centre, Trianon Luxury Apartments & Suites boasts elegantly designed rooms and suites with modern amenities and free WiFi. Paid private parking 10 euros per day is possible on site. We booked the superior apartment and it was absolutely amazing.

The location is great, having multiple cafes, bakeries and many shops nearby. The walk to the port/ Chania center is 15 min. The private parking was also a plus, as we didn't have to worry for not having a place to leave the car.
