Greta Lithuania

We loved our stay at Nautilus Bay Hotel. Everything was perfect, from the moment we arrived and until the moment we left. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff very friendly. During the day and until late in the night, Isabella took care of all our need. I forgot the name of the afternoon cook but she is one of the best chefs ever, her cooking is divine. Maria, waitress, was super professional. I recommend this place wholeheartedly and we will definitely return.

Lena Czech Republic

Large room, hotel close to the beach, nice restaurant with friendly staff. It was one night stop for us after a trip to Balos, but we regret that we could not stay for one more day in Kissamos.

Arkadiusz Poland

Great place, beautiful nearby beach, friendly personnel

Emmanuel Greece

Amazing place. Unbelievable location, just in front of the beach and a fantastic view. Facilities, including the pool and restaurant, are really truly good. Staff is really nice, we were delighted with the upgrade of the room and all the attention we had. Complete breakfast also.

Ricardo Portugal

Very friendly staff, very large family room with a separate bedroom, with a small kitchen, great views to the beach, fantastic breakfast area with the breeze from the ocean.

Marta Portugal

There was absolutely nothing to complain about! Highly recommended!! Super friendy staff, nice pool, nice beach with free sunbeads...fantastic location. Wish tha Kissamos would be more vibrant at night, but that has nothing to do with the hotel itself.

Host Information

Host review score
My father used to be a fisherman. Nautilus was the name of his last boat. But since the life in the sea was very difficult he wanted his son to have a better living. He bought this land and I managed to built the hotel. We tried to keep the feeling on the sea. Spacious, comfortable, relaxing and open views. In your balcony you can feel the sea breeze. Our restaurant is on a sunny terace next to the sea. Our cuisine is Cretan with many sea flavors.
I love sailing. My 46ft sailing boat is available for rental by our guests. We can make together daily excursions to Balos, Gramvousa and other more private locations. The boat trip is usually the "best day" of our guests vacations in Crete.
Everything is close to our hotel. The town center is 700m away and the closest supermarket 300m. The promenade with more restaurants and bars is 300m away. Banks, pharmacies and the bus station are also in a walking distance.
