"Loved the pool. The villa was really clean and bright. You do need to check into the actual hotel (which this is not, this is the villas), which is like 5-10 mins away by car, and I'll say this now that the hotel does have a restaurant. It was nice that when requested, they quickly delivered an iron and ironing board since it wasn't already inside our villa. The whole property was really clean and well maintained. The view from our villa was nice. The villa does have a steam shower which was...

"We had a great stay here - house was beautiful and well equipped and the remoteness and private pool were great for a relaxing stay in Crete. While you are about 20 mins outside of Chania it served as a good base for all of the western beaches and attractions while still close enough to Chania for dinners and exploring. On top of that Erato was super hospitable and responsive to our needs - highly recommended!"

"We absolutely loved our stay at Youphoria Villas in Kissamos, Crete! It lived up to and exceeded our expectations. We stayed in Harmony Villa and the view was absolutely stunning. The location and orientation on the hill felt very private. It was spotless both inside and out with well kept gorgeous gardens. The inside was beautiful and modern but warm. The outside area and infinity pool with incredible views of the water and mountain landscape was the best part. We could’ve lived outside from...

"Fantastic resort. Lovely and quiet yet within walking distance to lots of restaurants, shops and the beach.
Never stayed in a hotel where the cleaners were so efficient!
Would highly recommend the rooms with pool access!"

"Lovely hotel on the sea front with two great pools. It’s a little far out from Chania but we used the local bus service to go to Chania and platanias which had a lot more going on. We enjoyed our stay which was good for a four night break. Rooms are immaculate "

"Great location and beach area with bar. Modern spacious rooms. Hot water was at a premium but we noticed new tanks delivered during our stay so that will be handled soon. Overall a good experience that I would repeat !"

"This hotel was great, amazing views and the staff were lovely! The glasses in the room were not cleaned properly nor were they replaced. Great location for relaxed family holiday, just a short drive away from chania town"
"Exceptional! One of the best hotels we’ve stayed in. The staff, the location, facility, and quality of food was incredible. Don’t think twice, it’s totally worth the price."
"We had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Galini Palace Resort Hotel. The overall atmosphere was calm and peaceful throughout, as the hotel is located in a quiet area away from the main tourist crowds.
The Highlights:
The absolute star of the hotel is the pool area - it is large, beautiful, crystal clear, and offers great view of the sea. The staff were also extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The food variety in the dining room was impressive, and while not every dish was to our personal taste, we always found plenty to enjoy.
Areas for Improvement:
There were a few minor issues that kept this from being a true 5-star experience:
Pool Hours: The pool hours are quite limited (10:30 AM – 6:30 PM). We felt it would be much better if it opened earlier and stayed open later in the evening, especially during the long summer days.
Room Amenities: For a 5-star hotel, we expected more luxury touches. For example there were no bathrobes, and it was disappointing to be charged an extra daily fee to use the room safe.
Maintenance & Cleanliness: The showerhead in our room was completely clogged. Also, there was a strange, strong smell of cleaning products in the hallway outside our room, which wasn't very pleasant.
Overall, a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful setting. With a little more attention to the small details and operating hours, it would be perfect."

"Loved our room and even used the small pool. The breakfast was amazing.
There were lots of families with children, but it was quiet and people were respectful of each other."
"Literally the best location! Staff were extremely nice & helpful, especially the guy at 2am working the morning we arrived. Everything about this hotel is top notch including the onsite restaurant! Best hotel we stayed at our entire trip!"
