We absolutely loved our stay! The staff was amazing, always making sure we had everything we needed for a great experience. The location was perfect, next to the ocean and right by the beautiful Venetian port and with parking close by. Our room was spotless, modern, and super comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

A brand new hotel, very nicely located in a calm area, but close to the city. Contemporary designed hotel with luxury feel and attention to details. The entry hall and the stairs are a true masterpiece. The rooms are clean, comfortable, well organized and fully equipped. Staff was very professional and helpful, yet friendly. We were allowed to check in earlier and were provided complimentary free breakfast. Liana, was extremely helpful throughout our stay. She helped us to plan the visits around and gave us great suggestions. Furthermore, she invited us to the Easter party lunch organized by the hotel with traditional music and tasty food. Breakfast is buffet style, everything is freshly made and very well presented. Finally, food was very delicious. The garage is free , which is a bonus. I would definitely choose to stayhere again whenever I visit Crete.

Perfect location to visit the amazing beaches located in the West of Crete. The accommodation is missing nothing and is very close to the seaside where you can find good typical restaurants.

The location was wonderful, right on the beach, amazing views, watching the sunset every night. The room was lovely, super clean, air con worked excellently, the owners were helpful and brought whatever we requested, they're kind and hospitable and we would like to visit again. Highly recommend for families because beach is walking distance and there aren't any stairs in the property to be worried about.

Ostrakon is a new, modern hotel. Very clean with great amenities, especially the basket with extra utensils like an iron, which was very practical. I like the family atmosphere, especially conveyed by Maria. The direct beach access was very convenient and the breakfast right on the beach with a view of the sea was perfect! The staff at Me Gusta were also very friendly! Thank you Maria for making our vacation wonderful with your tips and your loving nature! I will be back! Efcharistó poli!

Hotel is located almost on the beach, what was the best thing. Breakfast was mostly similar each day, but there were so many things to eat that You can eat every day something different. Personnel was very kind and helpful. Seaside view was great - mostly during evenings. Beds and umbrellas on the pool and on the beach was available. From street side – a lot of pubs restaurants and shops.

The hotel is right on the beachfront in Hersonissos. Our apartment on the second floor was huge, but most of all we enjoyed the sea view from the balcony. It was just amazing! Also, the owners, Giannis and Maria, were very kind and helpful hosts. Thank you so much, Giannis and Maria!
