On arrival, the hotel upgraded our booked room with a Mountain View to a room with a Sea View, with no charge. The room was nice and spacious for three of us. The beds were comfortable. In the room, we had a mini fridge, a cattle and a coffee maker, which we hardly ever used over our stay as we had a package of all inclusive. The view from the room was amazing: a swimming pool and the SEA.
The staff was welcoming and friendly. We really appreciate all the staff cooking and serving for us and other guests, they were exceptional. The food was delicious, especially in the evenings when greek traditional meals had been cooked. We had our lunch only once in the hotel but it also was very tasty. The buffet consisted of variety of food options.
Every evening, there was a well organised entertainment program, including a traditional Cretan dances and a magician show. Children also had time of some activities in the mornings and then dances in the evenings.
As we liked to travel around the island, the location was important to us. The hotel is located around half an hour from the Chania airport and is great to many tourists destinations.
Featuring air conditioning, Akti Galinis is located in Kalyves Apokoronas, 17 km from Chania Town. The accommodation comes with a TV. There is also a kitchenette, equipped with a fridge.

Maria's place was my favourite. We searched something close to the sea and away from city centre. Everything was great, Maria is so kind and warm person. If I have to rent a room again, I"d choose Maria anytime.

Perfect location right by my favourite stretch of the beach. Amazing view from all windows/balconies. Spacious apartment and spotlessly clean. The hosts are so nice and helpful if you need them. Irina brought me a complimentary 6 pack of water which I really appreciate! All windows/balconies have sliding mosquito nets so for anyone with a phobia like me you can be sure there are no bugs whatsoever and you can also have unobstructed view if you want. I was there by myself and I felt really safe and enjoyed my stay so much I can't wait to be back!
Featuring an outdoor pool, Artemis Apartments is located in Kalyves within 500 metres from Glaros Beach.

Great place to stay with family for your calm vacation. To mention the main benefits of the place:
1. Clean apartment stuffed with all things needed for your stay (everything available if you want to cook). You can feel yourself as at your own residence house not far from the sea :)
2. Very friendly and kind stuff. We were welcoming by amazing person Chrisa who shared with us lots of useful tips (where to eat/where better to go/where to shop etc) She was very responsive and helpful in case of questions from our side during the whole stay.
3. Great green territory with very clean swimming pool with lots of available places and nice view to the sea (acceded expectations)
4. Very good sand beach and not crowded at all (we were coming at 9am and almost all of sun beads were still available). You can take sun-beads with umbrella with deposit for 10 Euro for which you can order anything you want from the bar.
5. Not far from the beach. It was 5 minutes to get to the beach by foot, but to get back around 10min, because you have to go uphill (we took it as benefit to have exercise not to get fat after vacation :))
6. The biggest supermarket of Kalyves on the way to the beach which is super convenient as you don’t have to go somewhere separately to find good products (btw avocado and peach was really delicious from there).
Thank you very much for our amazing vacation! I would love to come back one more time!
Kiani Beach Resort is ideally located on the beach of Kiani, just a few km east of Chania centre and old Venetian town. It offers 2 pools, a sea-view restaurant, an open theatre and a tennis court.

The hotel was lovely with very good all inclusive. The TV dosen't show English channels except for BBC News. Right on the beach with the hotel providing free sun beds & unbrellas. The sea was very cold & the beach very course. Not much in the village. You will need a car to get around or a taxi.

The owner is a very lovely lady.
The owner is a very lovely lady. She even let me stay over the check out time on my last day, which was just perfect! It is by the seaside so the view is very pretty! You can also go to the little greek town center by foot. The beach is also very close and tavernas too. Supermarket is 1min away by car so the location is perfect!

Kalyves is a traditional Cretan seaside town, with so many good & well priced tavernas to choose from. Our favourites were Elena's and Mythos, both right by the sea. The beaches are lovely and clean and not too busy.
We have been visiting Kalyves on and off since 1990 and it really hasn't changed that much in all this time - it has the same charm now as it did then.

Travelled early May and loved the very relaxed feel to the village. Lots of places to eat delicious Greek food all reasonably priced. Lots of shops and supermarkets. Nice sandy beach too. Drinks in the bars were very reasonable and there were bakeries which opened early morning so you can buy freshly made pastries for breakfast. Totally delightful place.

Very friendly working village.
Very friendly working village. Plenty to do and not far to travel to other areas. Easy access to the airport. Very reasonably priced resort. Great sandy beach. Elena restaurant was very good and the owner Adonis, his brother and staff were very friendly. O Mitsos do the best pita gyros. Apicorno is a lovely bar. Go to Coco Deli for their fresh bougatsa which is to die for .

Its difficult to judge as we were there in the off-season and most places were closed. The restaurants that were open were good and very reasonable.
It was nice to walk around and there are a number of walking trails to ther villages - the one we used was a very nice experience.
Nice hotel in the best location in Kalyves, on the beach with dozens of restaurants and cafes at the seashore. The beach is very nice with free sunbeds and it is relatively quiet. We rented a car to explore the island and we enjoyed the free parking lot next to the hotel. Highly recommended to visit Rethymno, beaches in West Crete and of course the city of Chania which is really nearby.
Ioanna and her brother - were excellent hosts and they provided us with really good information and everything always with a big smile.
Beautiful family run traditional apartments ,the view is spectacular but there is a hill to climb … very central location but in a lovely quiet spot,the apartments are spotlessly clean and Valerie the owner goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and that you have a great holiday ( even bringing fruit and cake for my little granddaughter) , we used a local taxi company recommended by Valerie and they were brilliant at picking us up and taking us into Chania for a change of scenery
The apartman is beautiful and very comfortable. We had a studio with 34 nm, it was great for 2 of us. Everything was very clean, the beds were great. Next to the apatmant you can find a bus stop to Chania, but it goes only 4-5 times / day. So it is not like in other places, every 20-30 minutes. If you would like to visit Chania or Rethimno it is better to rent a car. There are a some great tavernas in the village. The beaches are belonging to bars, and the sunbeds and umbrellas are free.
Quiet location, relaxed view to the sea, super close to the beach with walking distance to tavernas, comfy bed and sofa, sleeping room separate form living room (great when you have kids with you), equipped kitchenette, super friendly owner who met us to give us the key and help with the luggage, gave us hints, was there to meet all our needs. It was a very comfortable stay with a small kid, great for family stay! Thank you so much, will return there!
1. Location is good in general - Chania (nice city) is 15 mins by the car and Kalyves itself has a good location where you can reach many interesting places.
2. Clean room and cleaning service (every day!) is great. Although they could take a bit more care on the surrounding territory as well. The beautiful blue table with red chairs (on the photos) was always dirty
3. Nice Sea view from the balcony and the blue (dirty) table
4. Good barbecue area.
An unusual and different location for a holiday break. In the very centre of Kalyves amongst the shops and tavernas. Very busy and lively and close to the excellent beaches. You can watch the street theatre from the balcony. The apartment is directly above a good bakers shop and opposite the local open all hours supermarket. All sorts of cafes and tavernas within 50 yards. Plenty of car parking close by next to the sea wall.
It was super clean, the host is very open and friendly and the interior was super nice and with cute details.
An not overcrowded beach is very close, and so is the Bus Station for the Bus from Chania.
The house has an very nice rooftop terrace with a view to the sea. Nice restaurants and also supermarkt are close.
Full recommendation to this place if you wanna join the sea and not being in the middle of overtouristic places.
I loved this hotel. This was my first all inclusive holiday in many years and it was great. I loved the staff and various activities, the hotel itself had a nice atmosphere and I felt good. It is mostly a family hotel but we enjoyed our stay as two friends as well. There are many beautiful places in Crete that are accessible from the hotel and also nightlife and parties in a city close to the hotel (Chania).
A wonderful family-run hotel right on the beach at Kalyves complete with taverna, bar, cafe and a shop with all the essentials, all on the same strip. As a guest you also have access to the sunbeds and the welcoming hospitality of the owners! Great food, clean and comfortable rooms and of course you can't beat the amazing location.
We were 11 including children in 5 rooms, we had a great time !! The rooms are spacious and cozy, the view of the sea is amazing. The food is varied and delicious, the pool with the sea next to the dining room is very comfortable. The staff is very helpful and nice. And of course the Beach Bar is excellent.
the owners were so sweet and the place was perfectly equipped. the view is also amazing.
they even gave us a cot crib.
the beach nearby is also really nice. sand, sun beds and not busy.
lastly, the restaurant owned by the hotel had a fantastic brunch too.
we would definitely come back.
Lovely garden and pool, 5 min walk from a very nice beach (with free parasols and sun loungers at GK in exchange for a low spend at their bar/ restaurant), beach side taverna 10 mins walk, plenty of shops and restaurants in Kalyves, very friendly and helpful owner.
Hotel is close to the beach with easy access.
Food was fine.
Bar is well equipped with premium drinks (I had all inclusive vip).
Friendly bartenders.
Great coffee in barista bar.
Me and my wife loved my meals at the table next to the river with plenty of goose.
We can safely recommend this hotel. We were received very well, and experienced excellent service throughout our stay. The staff do everything to ensure that their guests have a great stay. Thank you for this time. We will see you again very soon.
The apartment had a nice bedroom with balcony and a smaller kitchen and living room. It was well equipped.
Parking was right outside and it is a short walk to the centre of the village and even closer to the beach which is just across the road.
The apartment is quite spacious and very clean with all the facilities you might need for a summer vacation. The balcony is overlooking the see and the beach is 5-10 minutes by foot.
A quiet place. Clean nice room. Large deep swimming pool. Nice plants around the hotel. Very good contact with the service. Nice view of Souda Bay. Reasonable price.
Fantastic property just a short walk from the beach and city center but still nicely tucked away from the buzzy street if you want to enjoy a calm and relaxed stay!
