Gouves its a village, perhaps not as glamorous as Chania side of Crete but I liked it. Is a bit unpolished, I would say, not with that feeling of drowning under the - all included large hotel complexes and the tourist vulgo that comes with it. Its a more apartments district with greeks coming on vacations too. Plenty of taverns with prices ranging between; main courses 7-14€, drinks 5€ and cocktails 7€, breakfast 5-8€. It also has several Super markets, two of them larger with everything you need. All the above its at walking distance. 10 min with the car or moped from Gouves up inte mountains, you come to smaller villages like Hersonissos with fantastik tavernas and beautiful views.

A charming village, about 15 minutes from Heraqlion by bus (no. 2 from the airport).
Do NOT miss the Asteria taverna next to Lavris hotel: every Sunday and Tuesday a live performance of traditional Greek and Cretan music, with the beautiful Anna teaching Greek dances. It's not a tourist taveran (although there are tourists there of course) but aimed mainly for the locals. We will remember our two visits there as one of our unique experiences in Crete, and no doubt the most enjoable of them.

The day I was in Gouves the beaches were basically nonexistent due to the high tie and was very very windy. Walking along the sea was nice but given the nice beaches the island has to offer I'd rather go somewhere else or at least not stay there for long
Perfect location in (Kato-)Gouves, just a few minutes from Heraklion Airport and right by the sea.
Friendly, nice, loving and helpful owner family. Very well equipped, manageable and family-run apartment complex, with private pool. The apartments lack nothing - everything you need is available. Quiet location and within walking distance you reach everything: small and large supermarkets, souvenir stores, bars and restaurants as well as doctor and pharmacy.
George's Bar right next door is an absolutely recommendable coffee spot.
Accommodation was excellent it met all our needs. Apartments all have wonderful sea views and the Sandy beach is on doorstep. Giorgos and his family who own property are fantastic hosts and go out of their way to help should you need. Noi Noi bar which is in front of Apartments and right on seafront is also run by Giorgos’ and his family and serves lovely drinks and snacks. Although the area is quiet and peaceful there are plenty of Tavernas and restaurants two minutes walk away. Ideal for couples. Can’t wait to return .
Everything. We had stayed in this hotel on the first day of our holiday and by the end of the holiday we just had to return. This hotel made our holiday a million times better. Small, intim hotel with very lovely staff, excellent food and very close to a great beach. Thank you also for the bottle of champagne you surprised us with, as a gift for returning to your hotel. It was a great surprise. When we return to Crete, we will definitely book our entire holiday in this hotel.
The beds were very comfy and the bedrooms had lots of storage and space. The outdoor kitchen area was fantastic, loved the fact they had included a fridge. The pool was a great size and the sunloungers were very comfortable. There are so many great things about this villa. It's the best villa we've stayed in. One last thing we loved was it's location a 15 minute walk to Pano Gouves and a 15 minute walk in the other direction to Kato Gouves.
It was such a wonderful stay. The location is perfect - easy to get to from the airport but convenient for trips out around the island. The staff could not have been nicer, especially in the spa where the service was exceptional. Food was varied and excellent. My children (aged 11 and 13) had so much fun at the water park. As a family that tries to find somewhere new every holiday, this is the one resort we would return to again.
Friendly, helpful staff.
We got bigger room with seaview.
There was welcome pack in the fridge - water, juice and fruits.
Free airport shuttle - arrived on time, fast.
All inclusive matches the price - drinks are available during day, but don't expect large selection.
Food is similar every day, but it sometimes depends on time when you arrive.
Beach is sandy, only 20 meters from the hotel.
Small kitchen in the room.
The strongest point of this hotel is its staff. Knowledgeable, efficient and usually with a smile. A special mention for the great SPA team (Kostas and Maria), whose magic hands gave us a very enjoyable and therapeutic massage experience. Also Katerina the receptionist is very sweet and welcomes the guests with a smile.
Comfortable rooms, clean, and cool.
Deep swimming pool, as I like them.
A beautiful resort 15 min from the airport, 20 min from the city center. Super convenient for families with kids. Gouves is a cute little village- yes there are stores, restaurants but the beach is an average one. We explored the local area (Malia) and found fabulous beaches around. AgiosNikolaus is an hour drive. Rental car is a must. Overall a fabulous experience.
The hotel is suitable for recreation with children. Delicious breakfast. The room is extremely clean, cleaned every day, beds are made. Quiet environment, swimming pools for children.The sea is nearby, you can walk, but the hotel bus also takes you to the sea. Helpful staff. Car rental nearby. There are several local shops.
Great hotel. Great staff and owner and Mrs. Irena. Many thanks to Mrs. Irena and the owner for this wonderful time. Everything was wonderful. The location was great by the sea. Every day everything was clean, the rooms were cleaned, towels changed. We want to return to Crete to Gouves and to this hotel.
What a wonderful seaside apartment in Crete. The room was huge and airy, and the balcony overlooking the sea was just stunning - especially in the evenings to watch the sunset. Had everything we needed, and nice and close to a variety of amenities.
The sharing pool was better than we expected.
The room was clean and quiet.
Food was good with many choices, the staff was very helpful regarding food intolerance.
The beach was really close, supermarket and restaurants all walking distance.
The restaurant that is also run by hotel staff was very cute. The food was delicious. This hotel was well worth the inexpensive price! The room was very clean and modern. Beautiful view of Mediterranean Sea!
The hotel staff and property were extremely nice. Christina was amazing. She mad the trip great, always made sure we were accommodated. Food was great, nice spacious area with sea views to eat.
It is a big hotel but very quiet and romantic. A lot of green, swimming pools. The beach is few meters away and all the equipment is free of charge. Excellent breakfast and stuff always helpful.
The place is pretty nice and modern, staff was very friendly. There are many restaurants nearby as well as tour agency. The beach is literally just across the road.
