I recently had the pleasure of staying at Nautilux Hotel and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The rooms were not only nice, but also incredibly well equipped. They had everything I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was that the hotel was even nicer in person than it appeared in the pictures. The attention to detail and the overall ambiance of the hotel were truly impressive. But what truly made my stay exceptional was the staff. From the moment I arrived, they were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their warm smiles and genuine hospitality made me feel right at home. I also had the opportunity to try the room service menu, and I must say, the food was delicious. They had a great selection of tasty dishes, and the cocktails and drinks were also top-notch. The staff at the beach bar were quick to take orders and provided excellent service. And let's not forget about the breakfast buffet. There were so many choices that it was almost overwhelming. From savory to sweet, healthy to indulgent, there was something for everyone. It was a breakfast paradise. I would like to give a special thanks to Kristine, the hotel receptionist, and Christos, the room divisions manager. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was memorable and enjoyable. Their professionalism and attention to detail were truly commendable. Overall, my experience at Nautilux Hotel was fantastic, and I can't wait to go back next year. If you're looking for a hotel that offers great rooms, delicious food, friendly staff, and a beautiful atmosphere, look no further. Nautilux Hotel has it all.

I really have to say, I'm travaling a lot (4-6 times per year to the different Countrys-Places) and in the most of the time, the hotels doesn't look or fullfil the expectations. Always its something, which gives you the feeling, that the description or pictures are not 100% right or matching with the real situation. That's why I said, now I will write a review, because they really deserved that at all! From the reception employees till to the cleaning ladies! When we arrived, we stood in the front of the new building. We get a friendly welcome, nice room and walked to the beach. I walked around and checked the pool areas and dine opportunities. I really was surprised that everything looked same like pictures and descrition. I like that is a hotel size between Boutique Hotel and grand Resort. If you are looking for a Hotel with good chill opportunities and good food, thats your place. We loved the food (try the Gyros Chicken and Mussels which are cooked in Uzo), furnishing style, pool and beach area, employees (Eleni by the Pool area, very friendly women) and the vibes of all of them😀 You are really close to Heraklion City, 10min by taxi around 15Euro per way and 20min to the airport around 30Euro per way. Spa Massage first 10min are for free, we booked 30min more (40min) was also really good. The a la Carte restaurant was a dream of location and ambience, also food with ***** level. We were there for 3 nights and I wished we can stay longer, so that means....For sure I will come back again! 🥰

Everything about this hotel is top level. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay exceptional. The facilities are top notch, the room was very well furbished, comfortable and cozy. The restaurant is amazing and I definitely recommend dining there. The staff was so kind to offer us 2 cakes free of charge to celebrate our birthdays. This hotel is not just a facility, it's an experience.

Honey Holiday Hotel

Hotel in Bali

Honey Holiday Hotel is located in Bali, a 1-minute walk from Bali Beach North and 14 miles from Museum of Ancient Eleftherna.

S
Solovii
From
United States
I loved the location. Honey is situated in the quieter part of town, further along the coast and closer to the smaller beaches—which I personally preferred over the larger, busier one in the other part of Bali. The apartment is a great option for anyone looking for a 2-room setup without booking two separate hotel rooms. There’s a separate kitchen and living area with a big sofa that can easily sleep two, plus a bedroom with a pretty large, comfy bed. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the appliances you’d need to cook a meal or prepare breakfast in the morning. (The only small critique I’d give is that I wish there were one more power outlet so you could run the toaster and coffee machine at the same time—but that’s really a minor detail.) There’s also a cute balcony with space to hang and dry your swimsuits while you sleep. But the absolute best part of our stay was, OF COURSE, the staff—especially the wonderful Eda. She pretty much runs everything at the hotel, keeps it spotless, manages the plants that would otherwise melt in the Bali heat, and still finds time to make every guest feel welcomed and cared for. A lot of the great memories from our stay are thanks to her specifically. We were traveling all the way from Ukraine and arrived super early—around 7 or 8 a.m.—which is well before check-in. We were completely exhausted, but Eda kindly checked us in early so we could rest and recover after the long trip. She also gave us tons of useful advice about the area: which restaurants are worth visiting (and which ones aren’t), how to snag the best sunbeds, and so on. Her English is excellent, and she’s just the loveliest, most organized hotel boss 😎 and a genuinely great person. If you’re coming to Honey, even if you don’t know anything about how the place works, trust me—you’ll be taken care of ❤️

Absolutely ADORED the Mansio!! Personalized reach out from staff on WhatsApp prior to checking in. Friendly welcome, even after check in hours. Loved the scents chosen, even as we walked into the place and especially the quality of the scents and products in the bathroom! (I’m literally trying to source them so I can enjoy at home!!). Our kids adored the breakfast buffet and the location, walking out to the central square was just so special!!!

    The host was accommodating and recommended some of the best restaurants in Crete. The view of the castle was spectacular and the room was very comfortable, not huge but big enough. It was very easy to walk around and explore the area. It is easy to escape the tourist area because it’s not very big, making it a very authentic visit of culture and food.

    The town was buzzing and full of life.

    The town was buzzing and full of life. Some excellent restaurants (peskesi a stand out) Beaches were stunning especially when blessed with perfect summer weather. BUT, the traffic is terrible, parking is difficult, road-rules are optional and the lane-ways are very narrow. Visiting Knossos is an absolute must.

    Amazing Resort and extensive facilities on site.

    Amazing Resort and extensive facilities on site. Staff are amazing. Also one of the best mani/pedi I ever had at the salon. Resort is about 30 minutes from airport, and would say for a 5* Europe resort, this lives up to expectation, but don't compare to a 5* Caribbean or Mexico Resort, so bear that in mind. We stayed at the Ocean view room which had spectacular views. The Rocky beach was just fantastic with the lounges and beds, and considering how busy this resort is, never noticed it and never felt overcrowded, and you never had to reserve benches or lounges by the beach or pool, there was more than enough to go round and even more spare. A la Carte restaurants that were amazing and my favourites are Umi (Sushi), Azzuro (Italian), Thalassa for breakfast & lunch, Poseidon. A real let down of the restaurants was Nami, only delicious items were the Starters. Staff at this resort were fantastic overall, but special thanks to the following: Anastasi, Konstantina, Angelina, Ritsa and Lucas.

    Best place to stay when in Crete if you are looking for a mix of relaxation at the beach and exploring the island. Great sandy beaches, cool beach bars, beautiful old town filled with vibrant clubs and restaurants. The town is ideally placed so that you can rent a car, pay for an excursion or even use public transport (which is beautufly organised) to explore wild beaches but Chania and Heraklion as well.

    Malia is a great base for exploring eastern Crete,as it is well served by public transport,car hire is easy and reasonable,but if you just want to eat,drink ,sunbathe and play in a pool,on a beach or in a club or bar it is great too.

    Difficult to judge because we came early in the season when there was a cold wind blowing and not all the places were open. However, there didn't seem to be many places to eat [not a problem for us as there was one excellent place, though would be a problem peak season] . There were a number of apparently abandoned and ill-maintained buildings, which made the place appear less attractive.

    A very good base for very many superb beaches in southern Crete, with a nice beach within the town, some great shops and very good eating options both within the town and the surrounding villages. Not spoiled by mass tourism as many other places in the island, yet neither too remote and hard to reach. Just perfect.

    Matala is one of those places you didn't know you needed to visit until you go.. and then never want to leave. A long, sandy beach, with beautiful clear water, Matala is big enough to have a wide selection of places to eat & shop and yet not be too big. And in Scala & George's Yard it has two very, VERY good restaurants.

    This is quite an expensive area to stay in, with no chain supermarkets nearby and fully privatized beaches. However, the surroundings are extremely beautiful. There’s a bakery-coffee shop that’s great for local baked goods and budget-friendly coffees and sandwiches. We stayed one day in Balion, which was perfectly enough for us.

    It has everything for either family or couples stay, what we love about Stalidaqq, is it's completely flat, there are so many different places to eat, drink, eand ven beach accesses. You are within 15 mins walk to Maila, if you want something lively, and 15 mins on the local bus (2 Euros) to Hasonasis, which is a bigger town.
