Almare Beach Hotel

Excellent staff and very welcoming and helpful. Next to the sea and a bus stop with easy bus connections to the airport.

The hotel is very nice. It’s not convenient to have to check in 100 meters down the street or go there for breakfast or to use the pool. The noise of the airplanes going overhead is very noisy.

We were already staying in the neighbouring resort of Gouves. We decided that we wanted to check out this resort. It was a great decision. This is a beautiful, traditional Cretan resort. We decided that if we came to stay here for a couple of nights we wanted a nice accommodation. We booked a Junior Suite with the most amazing Sea Views. The room was clean, it has a fridge, safe and free air-conditioning with a ceiling fan in the bedroom. Nespresso machine with complementary pods plus a selection of teas and a kettle. Sun loungers on the balcony, hairdryer and a bathroom with a large walk in shower. A small hob/oven. We had an amazing stay. Pay the extra for the Junior Suite and you won't be disappointed. The breakfast was a traditional Greek Breakfast. Tea, coffee, continental meats, cheese, pastries, yoghurt, honey, bread, toaster, greek salad all very tasty. We would definitely stay here again. A cheap supermarket to the left of the accommodation. Lots of reasonably priced restaurants. Happy Days!

The room was quite nice and the staff were friendly. Note that this is a satellite hotel of another one in the chain. It is a good choice if you want to save a bit of money as the “actual” hotel is a couple minutes away by foot. They connect along the “beach” path which is nice and you have full access to their amenities. The only complaint is that I wouldn’t really consider it a beach hotel, the building is overlooking the water but there isn’t any access to the water and to find sand you’ll have to walk quite a bit. The restaurants nearby were very solid!
