Lovely clean large modern apartment with kitchenette, 10 minutes from the airport. Supermarket & variety shop in the next block. All staff were fantastic very accommodating and welcoming. Yanis who ran the breakfast was awesome, great variety and nothing too much trouble.. We were only needing an overnight airport stay, so location was fine

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful- from the reception staff to the young lady in the bar to the housekeepers. The parking in the underground garage was so convenient, the hotel is in pristine condition and the location was an easy coastal walk to everything.

An exceptional experience - simply perfect! The staff was professional, kind, and very welcoming, and the atmosphere at the hotel was pleasant and relaxing from the very first moment. The view was amazing, the room was spacious, beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and the dining room was excellent, with high-quality and varied food. In addition, the private pool in the room was a perfect size and added so much to the experience. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely love to come back again 😊

Me and mom had a great stay in Myrion Beach Resort and Spa. It's a beautiful hotel in modern style. Breakfast and dinner had variety of dishes, and some preferences were added to our next breakfast. It's quite hotel, very good for solo travels, couples, senior people and those who are looking for a quality and pieceful vacation. I liked our room with terrace, room was modern with very good Air-condition and wi-fi. Complimentary in the room was water and tea/ coffee corner (refield daily) . I had a nice Hotel Birthday Treat delivered to our room and a birthday card. Thank you. Reception and guest relationship staff are super friendly, and Mr. Manolis, Hotel Manager, is always around the guests and was taking care of our and other guest comfort. Hotel application was very useful for a fast service, information about evening programs and hotel facilities.

For our family (2 adults and 2 children) we had two rooms. Very comfortable. The staff was great and very helpful every time when I needed some help. Everything was clean. Also, breakfast was nice with a lot of choices. The hotel also provided car rent with affordable prices (We rent a small one for four days - pick up was even at Chania airport).

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!

The location was amazing - right on the beach with loungers and umbrellas aplenty. Our room had a lovely patio alongside which was a great spot to eat breakfast. The kitchenette had everything necessary for preparing breakfast and lunch. And Effi is the perfect host. Lots of suggestions for restaurants and activities. She found us some beach umbrellas for our trip to Elefonissi and gave us tips for our Athens stay. There is also a lovely yard with ocean view and couches and shade for a space to relax in the evening or out of the sun.
