Peninsula Resort & Spa

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic – without a doubt the best hotel we have stayed at during the past three years on Crete. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was of outstanding quality, the views were breathtaking, and the service exceeded all our expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make our stay truly memorable. As a lovely final touch, we even received a thoughtful gift at check-out, which made an already amazing experience even more special. We are already looking forward to returning and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect holiday in Crete.

Wonderful Seaside Experience We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beachfront hotel. The location is stunning, with breathtaking sea views and direct access to a beautiful sea. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, providing the perfect place to relax after a day by the sea. The staff were exceptionally friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. Breakfast offered a wide variety of fresh and delicious options, and the restaurant served excellent local and international dishes. A special thank you goes to the reception team for their outstanding hospitality. Despite our very late-night arrival, we received a warm and professional welcome, which made us feel immediately at ease. We also greatly appreciated the flexibility and options offered for our check-out, a thoughtful gesture that made our departure much more comfortable and stress-free. What made our stay truly special was the peaceful atmosphere and the attention to detail throughout the hotel. Everything was designed to ensure guests feel welcome and comfortable. One suggestion for further improvement would be the creation of a dedicated relaxation area near the beach Tsimento, offering guests the opportunity to relax and appreciate the beautiful seaside setting in a more peaceful and tranquil environment. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing seaside getaway and will definitely return on our next vacation.

We’ve stayed at this hotel from 6th-13th of July, we enjoyed our stay here very much! The location is splendid, the atmosphere is great, quiet evenings. We were 6 people, room 803, 807, 806; unfortunately in the rooms 807-806 was smelling very bad, from the sewer pipes ( this was the only downside). Rooms were cleaned everyday by kind ladies (give them a small tip also), the showers were fine, the water pressure was good. The service at the hotel was splendid, from food to bars to reception 10/10 the people are truly amazing and professional. The atmosphere at this hotel was unbelievable, you will really enjoy it if you go there. The pools are salty, the one near the restaurant is not very salty, but near the Tsimento beach is extremely salty, the lounges there are enough but people like to leave their thing there to not love their sun-beds (that’s a downside also). The value of money is equal to what you pay for. The drinks at the bar are great, local alcohol which is not that bad, the food is spectacular. Btw you will be amazed by this hotel’s garden and how well maintained it is. My overall opinion is very very good, my family and I enjoyed our stay here. Don’t be scared to book it, you will not regret it!

Peninsula Resort & Spa was absolutely amazing! We celebrated our 20th anniversary there, and the staff made it truly unforgettable. A huge thank you to Sofia, Effie, Fotini, Aman, and Claudia at the front desk. They went above and beyond by decorating our room, helping us book our à la carte anniversary dinner, and always being so kind and helpful throughout our stay. My wife, Gina, has a gluten allergy, and Chef Stelvio was outstanding. He made sure she always had safe gluten-free options at the buffet and even caught one item she had accidentally chosen that contained gluten. We really appreciated his care and attention. The rooms were clean, the sea was just steps away, and every staff member we met was warm, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our vacation special. We highly recommend Peninsula Resort & Spa and can't wait to return!

We have stayed at the Peninsula Resort for four nights, and it has been one of the best resort experiences we have ever had. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The front desk team was incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring. As this was our first visit to Crete, they made us feel right at home. A special thank you to Aman, Sofia, Effie, Fotini, and Tony for their outstanding service and genuine warmth throughout our stay. We would also like to recognize Chef Stelvio, Christian, and the restaurant team. I have a gluten allergy, and Chef Stelvio took time during a very busy service to personally explain how the food was labeled and what options were safe for me to enjoy. That level of care and attention meant so much and allowed me to relax and fully enjoy our meals. Everyone greeted us with a smile and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The beautiful resort, amazing service, and genuine kindness of the staff made this a truly unforgettable experience. We can't wait to come back. Thank you, Peninsula Resort, for a wonderful stay!
