Our stay at Happy Cretan Hotel was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the friendly and welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. The suite room was nothing short of amazing, very modern, spacious, and impeccably clean, with a private pool that was perfect for relaxing in peace and privacy. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with a great variety of fresh options. The hotel's stylish and contemporary design added an extra touch of luxury to our experience. We can’t recommend Happy Cretan Hotel enough and will definitely be returning on our next visit to Crete!

About 30 minutes away from Heraklion, so I would recommend renting a car. You can arrange a taxi, but it’s better to have your own transportation on the island. Food was a bit hit or miss. Breakfast had a large spread- I didn’t know until after the fact but you can request an omelette or fresh eggs. Room was lovely and we enjoyed being in a hot tub suite!

This is a very nice property with super nice people! They had multiple pools, bars, and restaurants to choose from. Saying that, the food was meh. It had plenty of options and items to choose from, but in our opinion wasn’t real good. We decided to take the 8EU cab ride into town and eat there every night. We had one of the suites and it was excellent. Very spacious room and bathroom/shower area. Not to mention the hot tub right outside your room was incredible. The only issue we had was with Laundry service. We received our clothes later than the time we were told and when we got them back they were still wet due to them having dryer issues. Thankfully we weren’t flying out and only to pack them in a bag in our cab to our next location. A bit of a pain but not the end of the world. All in all a wonderful place to stay but you may want to step out to get your food.

We had a really enjoyable stay at the Happy Cretan Resort. The sea view from our room was gorgeous, and it was one of the highlights of the trip. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the amenities were everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We spent a lot of time at the pool, which was peaceful and had amazing views. The restaurant served very good food, and we appreciated the variety and quality. What stood out most was the friendly and helpful staff—everyone was welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d definitely stay here again if we’re back in Crete.

Excellent overnight stay

Lovely setting overlooking the sea our room was spotlessly clean and really comfortable. Everything we needed was provided and a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine was waiting for us. Our room had its own private outside seating area and jacuzzi which was lovely - although the communal pools and other facilities were also excellent. The included breakfast was superb and the service was exceptional, as was the dinner and traditional entertainment in the evening. All in all an excellent stay!

The staff was just fantastic

The entire staff went above and beyond in every aspect. Once they heard we were checking out early, b4 breakfast, they made 2 "to go" breakfasts that we could eat on the ferry. I cant say enough about the staff and property. Our only mistake was not renting a car, but we were there to relax

Great Hotel outside of Heraklion

This was a terrific hotel about 25 kilometers out of Heraklion. It was fine for us because we had a car and the driving easy. The hotel was walking distance down the hill Agia Pelagia which is a cute little beach town. We ate at the hotel restaurant one night and were pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of the dishes we had- way better than a hotel restaurant usually is. The staff was great and the breakfast buffet was very good. If you are planning a trip to Knossos and the Archeological Museum this is a good option. It was nice to get back to the quiet of an out of town hotel. The only downside is they are trying to hard to be kitschy which is totally unnecessary for such a quality property. We loved it all in all
