If you're looking for a quiet, restful break, The Island is perfect. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. It felt safe, peaceful and the hotel is beautiful and kept in perfect condition. The only small critique is the gym equipment needs to be upgraded, but I wasn't upset about staying by the pool more.

This property was amazing!! We stayed for 3 nights for our honeymoon and loved it. There are 3 shared pools (one quiet, one with a pool bar and one infinity pool). There is a beach right across the street. There is basketball and tennis courts, a spa and a breakfast and dinner buffet on site. There is even a little store with pretty much anything you could need. The hotel staff was great and helped us book transport to and from the ferry ports. Our room was beautiful which had a private pool for us, we highly recommend this stay!

We had a fantastic stay at The Island. The hotel staff were attentive and courteous, going out of their way to ensure our stay was the best it could be. The beach was excellent, as were the different pool areas within the hotel, offering something for everyone. Breakfast was also very good, although we did not eat at the hotel during the evening, due to the various restaurants available close by.

This hotel was all that we expected, and more. The Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We booked bed and breakfast, and were so glad because there is a wonderful selection of great tavernas and restaurants all within 5 minutes walk. The breakfast choices were manyfold and plentiful, we thoroughly enjoyed breakfast in the sunshine, overlooking the sea. We booked a suite with its own pool, and that was simply sublime. We were able to relax on our own double sunbed in our own pool, with complete privacy. The hotel beach is just 2 minutes walk away, well equipped and the sandy beach gives a shallow and easy walk into the sea. We will definitely be visiting this hotel again.

Stunningly designed and very peaceful hotel that made our trip to Crete something really special. If you have the opportunity; book a suite because ours was absolutely beautiful and the feeling of having a pool on your terracce is everything. And we are very thankful to the staff for making our stay so amazing!

great times in Crete

Beautiful resort, the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. We got there late after a delay from the ferry and they gave us a bottle of white wine and small dinner. The buffet breakfast is great and so have many choices that way you can satisfy your need. The room is big enough a had a semi-private pool and the beach is just across the road and you can hear the waves from out room.

I'm not much for resorts, but we needed a holiday from our holiday. The area isn't much, but The Island is lovely - low-key, lots of pools, several dining options, a nice beach, and our own semi-private pool. The staff was warm and friendly, and always ready to lend a hand. Even a rainy day was fine, as we hung out and read and ate lunch in one of the secondary dining areas, and walked along the beach when the weather finally cleared.

Great hotel to relax

We had a wonderful time at The Island hotel. As a Gold member, we even got an upgrade and were lucky to stay in a room with a shared pool- what an amazing experience. The bed and pillows are super comfortable. The Spa service (pedicure and couple massage) was brilliant. The staff is very friendly. The buffet was very good on most days, though, the à la carte dinner was not worth it in our opinion. The beach is great for swimming and the pool areas are fantastic, too.

Really good wellness instructor

Unpleasant woman on entrance to dining room for breakfast and dinner. Queues to get into the restaurant even though lots of tables were available. Not allowed to keep your restaurant purchased wine for a second night. Really good Pilates, stretching and yoga. But all the classes were in the morning, one after the other. How can a person attend these and have breakfast. So frustrating. The main pool was great until 13:30. But then the DJ started up. As far as I could tell he was the only person enjoying the bizarre selection of music. It would have suited me better to have no DJ!

The resort is nice overall but the rooms are small and bathrooms very small. Our bathroom had mold near the ceiling. While the staff was overall nice, the manager Eva was the worst person we've met, and so was the front desk clerk Maria - no compassion for people whatsoever. We paid for a room with pool, but received one with the balcony facing a wall, and when asked for another room, their excuse was that there are full - we were there in September. Not worth the money we paid for. The manager Eva and the receptionist Maria need extensive training as how to treat people regardlesss of where their origin,
