St. Nicolas Bay Resort lies on a private beachfront, 1.5 km from Agios Nikolaos. It features 2 outdoor, not heated, swimming pools (not heated) and a luxurious spa and wellness centre. Its stylish accommodation offers spectacular views of the charming Μirabello Bay.

The service was top notch. Everyone was helpful and answered any requests we had. We had half board and though previous comments said that the food was not good, I beg to differ. The breakfast was ample with lots of buffet options (hot and cold) as well as the menu (you could order omelets, and other items off the menu). Frappes and Fredo espressos were not problem. The setting at breakfast was beautiful overlooking the pool and ocean. One of the previous comments said that there weren't any Greek offerings at dinner. Being Greek-American, I thought the inclusive dinner options did a great job with an overall selection to appeal to everyone as well as classic Greek and Cretan options. Obviously, if one truly wants a true Cretan dining experience, then I recommend eating off property, but we ate both nights we stayed at the resort, and we all greatly enjoyed. I've been to many all-inclusive hotels in Mexico and the Caribbean and the food and drinks at this establishment were the best we've had. The hotel manager was always present, making rounds ensuring people were enjoying their stay. In fact, our son celebrated his birthday one night and the hotel staff provided a dairy-free cake (he's allergic to dairy) for his bday complete with candles! Lastly, the resort is beautifully and tastefully decorated. I greatly enjoyed walking around, taking in all the sights. The designers did an exceptional job making it feel very Greek island-esque with every nook and cranny having artwork or decorations.

    Beautiful place. The location, design, cleanliness & facilities (everything) was just great. Breakfast every morning was delightful and the restaurants on site had a nice varied menu for lunch and dinner too. The views from the rooms on the sunrise side are astounding. Beds very comfortable. The beach is lovely too.

    The beds are super comfy. We'd love the big shower with warm water! The design of the hotel is very nice and it's super clean! Breakfast was wonderful and there was a lot of choice even though there weren't that many guests. The rooftop is a very lovely touch! Definitely recommend this hotel.

    Everything was great. It's a really good location. 2 mins from main square and lake. The owner had thought of everything you needed. Really lovely welcome message and fruit, olive oil, coffee and water in welcome pack. Bed really comfortable. Beautiful decor. Bathroom well designed and clean. Cooking and dining area well thought out and all facilities worked well. Excellent value for money and would have paid more for that quality of room. We went for 2 nights but would have stayed longer as we were very relaxed after our stay.
