It was just wonderful. The beautiful interiors and the authentic stone architecture carefully combined with a modern look, the delicates trees and flowers and the beautiful and peaceful swimming pool just in front of the beach restaurant with direct view to the ocean. One of the very few hotels with direct private access to the beach/sea, and with plenty sun beds. The sea is calm and crystalline, just perfect for relaxing. The attention to service was on point, all our requests were fulfilled in a very friendly matter. The food was great tasty and abundant. The location of the hotel is very convenient, only 15 mins from Irapetra Centre.

The facade of the hotel looks a little classic/outdated, however don’t let this put you off. The hotel is genuinely beautiful, carefully constructed to provide an authentic Greek experience.

Everything was perfect at Coriva Beach Hotel! The staff is extremely attentive and very helpful. They provided excellent advice regarding the best places to visit in Eastern Crete and their knowledge was precious. The hotel is perfectly located on a beautiful beach and also has a spacious pool. It is comfortable, clean, and complete with all amenities. The breakfast is delicious and very generous and the hotel restaurant has a complete menu with good food and a nice summer atmosphere on the beach under the moonlight. We loved our experience at the hotel and in South Eastern Crete and would love to come back soon!

The staff were all so friendly and welcoming all the time, the food was amazing quality, the rooms were cleaned every day to a very good standard, and the grounds themselves were absolutely beautiful. We were very close to a beautiful beach and the staff and service there is just as lovely too. I wouldn't normally think about staying in the same place when I visit again but in this case, I would choose Coriva every time.

Nice location and beach

Our room although newly refurbished was a bit far from the beach

+ Very quite and relaxing atmosphere + Nice breakfast buffet + Nice beachbar/restaurant (Pelagos) + Very kind staff + Very clea beach & sea

- Rooms already a little aged and small & simple (but bathrooms have been renovated recently) - A little "off spot", not too much around in walking distance of the hotel - Hotel located in south east of Crete, so quite a distance to most of the sightseeing highlights

The hotel was really well designed giving everyone their privacy whilst having great amenities. The staff were fantastic and made you feel incredibly well looked after.

Sizeable room, excellent location, very good breakfast buffet, helpful staff, amazing front beach

When it was windy the room's door was making noise and needed my earplugs

The staff really pleasant a lovely pool nice grounds around the hotel

The beach was very pebbly and very hot to walk on although we did have beach shoes with us

The two bedroom suite (113) was superb with a huge terrace with a view over of the gardens to the pool and sea (see photo). Everything was spotless and in good order, with a hairdryer, soaps, shampoo etc all provided. The breakfast was fabulous and fresh with a good choice. There were plenty of sunbeds (both around the pool and on the beach) and pool towels were provided for the week. The staff went above and beyond to help - from pre-visit enquiries to requests once there. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend.

We had a few very windy days, which is a known weather phenomenon of the locality, but to be honest it kind of just added to the fun of the holiday -plus the hotel were brilliant at how they managed the airflow in the 'open-sided' breakfast room, and providing pegs etc to keep your towels secure when drying on the terrace etc.

I really liked everything. Not a very big hotel, that has excellent garden and very comfy bungalows.

Breakfast was very nice, but almost always the same. It would be nice to have some new things once in a while...
