    We stayed in Bella Vista during our vacation in September. The hosts are great people, very kind, always willing. The room was very spacious, very well equipped, nothing was missing. There is a washing machine in the common area that you could use free of charge. Beach towels, suncream, beach mattresses are also offered free of charge. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. We loved everything about Bella Vista and would definitely come back.

    Because we were with 5 people, two of the beds were put in the kitchen/main room. It’s not the biggest problem but on the picture it showed another room than what we got.

    It was nice to have a big terrace because we were with 5 people. The location and view were admirable and we made many memories. The airconditioning was very handy to have! Also, beachtowels, sunscreen, toys, floaties were all provided for us which saved us tons of money. Very nice stay!

    Our room did not have too much light during the day but since you spend most of your time at the beach it is not a problem at all.

    The location is fabulous, basically 2 minutes walk from the beach. The restaurants around are also exceptional. The host is super friendly and you are also able to borrow beach equipments like umbrella, hats and towels.

    No complaints. Just be aware that Bella Vista's stunning views come at the cost of scaling a long flight of steps from the beach, no problem for most but could be a challenge if your legs aren't the best.

    The location and view from the balconies over Bali Bay is incredible. The units are comfortable and efficient, equipped with everything you could need. The owners have an array of beach toys, umbrellas, inflatables etc. that saved us buying things and made a big difference to the children's experience. Very thoughtful at every level.

    Alex, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. He offered us a room upgrade, which we really appreciated. The beds were very comfortable, the room was clean and had all the facilities. Great view from the balcony and you could even hear the waves; one of the best beaches is just 2 minutes walking distance. We would love to stay at Bella Vista again!

    There is nothing really we disliked.

    Like most Cretans we met, the landlords were very hospitable and kind, without being intrusive. The accommodation was not big but very pleasant, providing everything we needed for our partially self-catering holiday. Extra services like free access to a washing machine, beach towels, toys and equipment were also provided. The location is perfect with a small beach and a small but well sorted market (with an excellent butchery inside) just down the road (at 2 minutes walking distance). Bali is also quite central in relation to most highlights of Crete.

    Shower was working not stable, sometimes it was working well but time to time the water pressure was on a week side.

    The aparthotel is located on a hill with a wonderful few to the bay. Just a few minutes to the closes beach (by stairs - good excersize after huge Greeck meals!). Big balcony was our favorite place at mornings and evenings. The kitchen is well equipped (not only cookware but also sponges and disch detergent). Welcoming owners.

    Everything was great

    We loved everything about our stay at Bella Vista. Alex and Larissa are kind and helpful hosts and wonderful hard working people. The reception of the hotel had beach bags, sun cream towels, umbrellas and toys for the kids which you can use. The beach is so close to the hotel, it's just a 2 minutes walk down some stairs and the view from our balcony was amazing. The rooms were very very clean. The beach is very good for small children since there are no waves and the people in the town are very friendly. Alex and Larissa really look after their hotel and their guests and we miss them and Bella Vista very much. When we go back to Crete we will definitely stay here again. You must stay here when you visit - it feels like a home.

    It is the perfect location for the whole of Bali, with very friendly owners. Super clean and has all the facilities you might need. Sea view apartments has the most beautiful view of Bali port, and it is only a few mins away from the beach. Totally recommended.

    The host seemed slightly grumpy, though it might have been the language barrier (he did help us with the luggage, printed out our boarding cards and allowed us to use the washing machine after all).

    Amazing view, spacious apartment/balcony, 2 minutes from Limani beach (70 steps leading to it) and 5 minutes from Karavostasi beach (both lovely in their own way), all the facilities needed + pool floats and beach toys for kids available free of charge.
