펠라지아 베이

This hotel should not have any stars! Dirty old rooms!! Breakfast with dairy products not refrigerated. Bread toaster, coffee machine dirty. Plastic glasses for orange juice which were yellow from using probably for years. We had half board included, dinner was so bad that after trying twice, we decided to eat outside the hotel. I have lived in Greece for more than 35 years, so I know the Greek kitchen very well. This food was an insult for Greece!! The food was prepared in the morning and served at night. After eating,we had to collect the plates ourselves and throw the leftovers like we were in school summer camp. Last but not least, cats sleeping on the tables,broken pergola and chairs. Stay far away from this hotel if you don't wanna destroy your holidays!!!

Just perfect I can’t fault this place at all foods amazing, rooms are amazing, staff are amazing honestly stay here, you are met with nothing but hospitality and kindness it’s honestly a great place

Simply amazing, from the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome, our cases were taken to our room, number 34 which has the best views to the ocean and also the pool..the pool is beautiful and we were there for 10 days with temperatures hitting over 33 everyday and virtually had the pool to ourselves, the sun beds are luxurious and very comfortable, every member of staff from reception to the chefs and including the cleaners are amazing and helpful, the whole operation isn’t run like your a guest but like your an old friend returning, I found the food very good and especially on a Monday when it’s the Greek bbq and dancers, Prices for drinks during the day are so cheap and if you order lunch be warned….the portions are huge and everything on the menu is beautifully served and delicious.. Without a doubt I will be returning, I’ve been home only 3 hours since I left the hotel this morning and I’ve already checked the prices for next year.. The whole atmosphere is calm, relaxed and beautiful… Thank you yannis and every member of staff for making a truly amazing holiday on the beautiful island of Crete.

I have just returned from another wonderful holiday here. I continue to enjoy the quiet location of this hotel, on the hillside with sweeping views over the fields to the crystal clear sea (you can see fish without a snorkel) with beautiful sunrise and sunsets.It is very relaxing. There are comfortable new sunbeds by the pool and everywhere was freshly painted and clean.The front of house team Yannis, Lucy and Stefano provide great service but equally important are the exceptional cleaning and dining staff. The hotel offers a small and friendly experience where guests socialise and the bar area has a nice atmosphere. Yannis serves up amazing cocktails and the bar prices are very reasonable.I enjoy the opportunity to meet people of all ages from all over Europe whilst there. I still hear people talk about the uphill walk from the beach but taxis are easy to obtain, also the steps within the hotel itself so when booking a holiday be sure to research such issues if they are a concern. Similarly with meal provision, being in the hotel you have very adequate half board options but if you budget to eat out a few times you can enjoy trying the local restaurants and bars too.There are many offering good value, I had tzatziki with pitta bread, a pitta with chicken souvlaki cubes and half a litre of house wine for 16 euros. Brilliant value.Be sure to be in the hotel for the greek night, the music and dancing are such fun and it is all part of the experience provided.Overall this hotel is clean, comfortable and offers excellent value for money.

Positives - The hotel itself is small and friendly with lovely views out to sea. The pool was lovely and never busy, very quiet hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful, could not do enough to help. Yannis fixed my shoe, did first aid on a cut and went above and beyond. The room was clean but dated, very large with stairs to a mezzanine floor, stairs not for the faint hearted or anyone with mobility issues. Lots of hot water, beds made daily and lots of clean towels. Ate lunch on last day and food was fantastic, huge portions and a great price. No idea how same chef produced the evening meal! Negatives - The evening meal was dreadful. Found nothing to eat for first two nights so changed to Bed and Breakfast by EasyJet. I have never seen such a poor quality offer. Breakfast did get better when I asked for bread for the toaster, a basic requirement. Only fresh fruit on offer were oranges, rest were tinned. Breakfast ok if you like onion rings, pizza and curly fries! Porridge on offer for one day but very lumpy. I would go back but only on a Bed and Breakfast deal.

Once again a return trip to Pelagia Bay and as always it didn’t disappoint. Weather was poor but this is the first time in April and to be fair it wasn’t the norm for Crete however this didn’t stop me from enjoying my stay Staff as always were friendly, helpful and looked after me as they always do. Big shout out to Giannis, Stefano and Lucy and thanks once again. See you in October
