MRS Chryssana Beach Hotel

Small little cute hotel on edge of the town near pebble beach Very clean rooms and bathrooms Good quality linen Good breakfast Nice place to sit out Nice pool and bar Good size bathrooms Ample place to park The staff was also helpful A little far from main town for a walk in night from beach restaurants

From the very first day, we felt at home. We were welcomed with a refreshing drink and given a clear explanation of all the hotel’s amenities, as well as great suggestions on what to visit and do in Crete. The staff truly deserve special appreciation — especially Michalis (the hotel manager) and Polytimi (at the bar), who greeted us with unforgettable kindness and warmth, making us feel like part of Greece. The food at the hotel was absolutely fantastic — homemade, full of flavor, and prepared with love, just like sitting at a Cretan family table. We truly hope to return many more times and recommend this stay 101%!

We loved it so much last year, we came back again. The manager, Michalis, the afternoon receptionist, Emmanuel, and our cleaner, Vana, were still here. There were some new faces at the pool bar, who also double up as lifeguards and as breakfast/dinner staff, Anastasia, Manos, and Amir. All the staff are so helpful, thank you for looking after us so well. For me, the pool area is perfect. I have mobility issues. It has cushioned sofas under a shaded area, wooden loungers with cushions (that I can get up from), and easy stepped access into the pool with a handrail. We booked a package through jet 2, but I emailed the hotel in advance to ask for a ground floor room, which they were able to give us. As there is no night porter and reception and the bar closed at 11pm, and we were arriving after 1am, we also asked for some drinks to be left in our room, which they did. Breakfast is really good with a wide selection of hot and cold options, a very tempting selection of cakes and pastries, thick yoghurt, and honey and fruits. The evening meal is served buffet style like breakfast, with several selections each day, I can recommend the chicken wings, moussaka, and veal stew. For me the ambience in the dining area at night could be improved by providing more atmospheric lighting e.g. fairy lights and candles. I would also prefer to have an a la carte menu, as they do at the pool bar in the afternoon. We had good meals several times at Sto Skouteli and on the front in Kolymvari at En Elladi and Peinakothiki. Even though the hotel was almost full, it was still very peaceful and relaxing. We spent our time by the pool, but a lot of people hire cars, go out walking, or take the bus into Chania. We met some lovely people again this year. Thanks to Babs, Dusty, Rod and Karen for some fun times.

Stayed with friends for 2 nights in two twin rooms with adjoining door. Lovely bathroom with large walk in shower. Good wardrobe space and a safe. Bedside tables and a dressing table with mirror plus hairdryer. Fridge in room but no facilities to prepare food you cN ask for a kettle though. Nicelybdecorated and comfortable beds with good linen. Only downside was having a sink in the bedroom not in the bathroom. Totally impractical. When you use tge toilet it's usual to wash your hands notbl have to leave the bathroom to wash them in the bedroom. Also it disturbs anyone who's sharing the room. Cannot understand who thought that was a good idea. The rooms had clearly been refurbished quite recently so I think someone must have gone crazy thinking it was design feature. Nice balcony. Very large deep pool with kids pool also quite large. But they don't open the pool until 10.30 or later. Not good if you like a swim before breakfast. Hotel situated right by the sea but its a pebbly beach with no sun loungers so beach shoes and a mat are needed. It's a good 15 to 20 minute walk to kolymbari beach and the beach side restaurants. Coming back in the dark requires a torch as the way isn't very well lit. We had breakfast included and it was a buffet of hot and cold food, plenty to choose from all very good. We also ate at lunchtime in the pool cafe/bar the portions were very large we could easily have shared a snack between two of us. We had decent sized balcony but no clothes dryer to hang your wet towels etc on. We enjoyed our stay and would go there again as we like kolymbari having been there many times.

The hotel had exceptionally good service! The rooms were clean, the bed was good, the room had a good view and the room had good air conditioning. The breakfast was varied. In addition, the menu at the pool bar was varied. The food was tasty. The hotel has everything you need for your vacation!

Just returned from 11 nights at the Mrs Chrysanna beach hotel and wish we were going straight back. This was a really relaxing hotel which we would definitely return to. All staff at the hotel were great, very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size and had everything we needed, there is no kettle in the room so take a travel kettle if you need one. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was good. Great service from the cleaning staff, really appreciated. Breakfast was great, always plenty of choice and something for everyone, always a friendly welcome from staff at breakfast. The pool areas is fantastic, gardens are very pleasant and well maintained. This was probably the most relaxing pool area we have had on holiday for a very long time. Pool bar was good value for money, really nice lunch and a good menu. I would definitely return here in the future.
