Kavos Hotel & Suites

This is our go-to place in Crete. We love the well-appointed rooms and super chill local vibe. The pool is gorgeous and the property has made significant investment updating the outdoor areas in the last few years. The clientele is primarily European tourists; a good mix of families, couples, friends, etc. Two small things would be that sometimes parts of the breakfast were cold (which is otherwise good with a wide variety of items) and that the junior suite in the main building (not the new ones with private pools) could use some refreshing. These are small things and wouldn’t prevent me for booking again. We have stayed here four times now and continue to book here. It’s a safe bet as long as you have a car!

What Stood Out: Our stay at Kavos Hotel & Suites was amazing! We stayed in a suite with a private pool that offered a fabulous view—definitely a highlight of the trip. The housekeeping staff was wonderful—always friendly and did a fantastic job keeping everything spotless. We loved the buffet breakfast each morning, which was delicious and had plenty of variety. The time we spent in the ocean was unforgettable, with crystal-clear waters that made it feel like we were snorkelling in an aquarium. The hotel went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like a complimentary bottle of local wine, honey, and snacks, which made us feel truly welcomed. Another bonus was the car rental included with our room, which made exploring the area easy, and the complimentary shuttle to the airport was incredibly convenient. Our driver also gave us great local recommendations, which we really appreciated. What I Wish I Knew Ahead of Time: The hotel is in a remote location, so having a car is essential to explore the area and access nearby restaurants and attractions. It’s beautifully secluded, but you'll need to plan ahead for dining and activities outside the property. Overall Recommendation: I would highly recommend Kavos Hotel & Suites to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious stay in Crete. The remote location offers stunning views and privacy, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. From the excellent service to the little extra touches, everything about our stay was perfect, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

We (family of four) stayed in a sea view maisonette for a week in early August. This hotel is really really special - clean, modern (yet very comfortable) accommodation (amazing shower!) and stunning communal areas. The pool is wonderful and there is plenty of space for everyone. Access to the sea is easy despite the lack of beach. Restaurant is exceptional - the food is simple yet delicious at lunch time and much more adventurous and equally delicious at dinner time. Breakfast is also great with lots of choice and new items every day. Car hire with the room was brilliant and made the stay such good value. We enjoyed exploring Chania and Stavros and had some lovely meals out. We definitely hope to be back - so pleased we found you!

What can I say other than that we loved our stay at the hotel. We were staying in Chania, and my boyfriend wanted to find a restaurant on the beach, isolated from the big city. So we came for lunch, which turned into an afternoon of pure relaxation, with a meal with a value for money rarely seen (the special burger was just incredible, I think the best ever eaten). Panayotis welcomed us very warmly, and made our experience even more beautiful; our server Marcos was very attentive too. Following this experience, we came back the next evening, and had an incredible evening, and I'm not exaggerating. The dishes were delicious, and Panayotis was there again to listen to our requests. We decided to come back to the barbecue on Tuesday evening, and having fallen in love with the hotel, we decide to rent a Junior Suite on Tuesday evening, while we were already staying in another hotel. But ending our stay there was a great desire. Despina was very kind, and prepared our arrival as best as possible. The room was amazing. I have rarely stayed in a hotel where the food and the room were both perfect. Small negative point concerning the barbecue, which we found less good than the rest (cooking of certain meats, too dry). But overall, I 100% recommend this hotel. A big thank you to Panayotis and his warmth. He is an asset to this hotel.

We stayed in Kavos for 10 days; the place is great. The sea is just amazing with clear and clean water, just a little bit salty 😅 the pool is well maintained with sun-beds and umbrellas all around. The location is quite strategic, 15 km from Chania and about 1.30/2h by car from the most beautiful beaches of the Cretan west coast. We have had the opportunity to have lunch and dinner at their restaurant and all times it has been flawless. The waiters are super nice to customers and the food is great. A special mention for Kosmas, who was "our" favorite waiter, always kind, polite and fast. We booked a room for 2, that was a small apartment with a kitchenette and a patio with a seaview. Our offer also included the transfer to and from the airport, a car and a 25-minutes relaxing massage; all very useful services for customers. We highly recommend staying at this hotel, as it will be a pleasant and relaxing experience.

This is our first visit to this fabulous hotel, just what we needed and perfect from start to finish. Well maintained beautiful surroundings. Exceptional friendly staff all whom were very helpful (air con ladies). Food was delicious, well presented and worth every penny 👏 to the chef. The cocktails every night were just full of flavours and pleasant 👏 to the bar tender. The little quaint hotel room with everything you need within a room. The pool side and dinning area have incredible views all day especially to watch the sunset. I am hoping to come back again and would definitely highly recommend to others.
