The staff/owners went above and beyond in their attention as well as should there be any problems they with dealt with ASAP.
As our taxi airport transfer wasn’t due until 1400 hrs they allowed us to check out late obviously this is dealt with a case by case as the hotel occupancy at any one time may effect the possibility.

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
Kleanthi Apts is a small family run apartment block. kleanthi and her son went above and beyond consistently to facilitate me and my children during our stay.
We felt really at home here and was waited on constantly.
The swimming pool is small but does the job. The rooms are large and immaculate.
The location is a 15 minutes walk from the beach and various resturaunts.
I would very much recommend this hotel and will certainly be returning.
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.
We had a perfect stay. The food was good and there was a big variety For the price paid. they Always offered different type of Salads and nice cooked vegetables which was important For us. The staff was super friendly. We really felt really good. You can easily reach the place by Bus from Heraklion. Pool was very Clean and nice beach from Walking distance. Family friendly Hotel.

Everything! Great value for money, spacious apartment for two adults and two babies, swimming pool is exactly like the pictures & done to a high standard, restaurant & mini supermarket onsite too. Order their homemade orange cake in advance too, native to that area of Crete & the best we’ve had in all of Greece!!
Pool and looks of the place were great and staff was very friendly and helpful. Snacks at the pool were great (although greasy) and drinks were amazing. We did enjoy our stay and especially pool area is very nice. I did some many things, but it is a great hotel for chill holiday without children.
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.
Fast and stable internet (50mbs)
Everything is new including silent AC
There is always hot water
Close enough to all the attractions and beach but far enough to have peace and quiet for a perfect rest at night.
The host is very nice and was very helpful with everything we needed. The location is great and very close to good taverna and the sea.
Highly recommended for a family with kids who can also andjoy the pool
Nice apartments, new, spacious and clean. Very friendly and helpfull owner - Sonia, who made sure we have the nicest experiences in Crete. Sea at your footstep, everything you need is nearby.
The staff was very friendly and with a nice activity program daily. Very comfortable room with a sea view, in front of the beach (just cross the street). Pool was Ok. Nice buffet.
The owners made us feel home . It’s new built and very clean. Breakfast is also very decent with variety of things that other hotels of the same category don’t offer .
