What a lovely find! The gardens, shade tree and pool are so very welcoming. The parking is on-site and the food is the most delicious we’ve had in Crete. We had such a good experience at the Esperides Hotel every time we’ve stay here and we highly recommend it. Every room has a balcony with good views. One side faces the charming village and sea, and the other side faces the beautifully rugged mountains and surrounding olive tree groves. Our room was very clean and comfortable, with a television, refrigerator, teapot (and teas!), clothes’ wardrobe, dressing table and extra blankets. We slept in a large comfortable bed with a great mattress. Be sure to check out their authentic breakfast table for the best tastes. Or you can order dinner to eat near the pool with views of the mountains just beyond the hotel. The area in front of the hotel is a lush garden full of colorfully blooming flowers, trees and plants. You just won’t believe it. Be sure to take a cold drink to the pool area where you can either soak up the sun or enjoy the shade of some beautiful shade trees. There are nice, quiet places to walk for exercise near the hotels. And it’s just a few moments’ walk from the beach and so many good restaurants, bars and shops. The village is a gem – and this hotel is an excellent place to stay. The best in Mirtos!

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Esperides in Myrtos. It's a small family-owned hotel, and the staff was really friendly and made us feel at home right away. The hotel is surrounded by olive groves and mountains, and from our balcony, we could enjoy the beautiful views. The breakfast was tasty and included a variety of wonderful cheeses, breads, pies and other delicacies all local and fresh. We also had dinner next to the pool, cooked by the owner of the hotel, a wonderful cook and that was just delightful too. At the end of that they treated us to some ice-cold homemade Raki and fruit that we enjoyed immensely! . It’s just a short walk to the very long sandy beach. I spent a lot of time there, and there were plenty of good restaurants and cafes nearby to try local food. Myrtos is a quiet and unspoiled village with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. It's not crowded at all and not too touristy, which I liked. Overall, Hotel ESPERIDES is a great place to stay if you want a peaceful and authentic experience in Crete.

Everything was just wonderful. We wouldn't change anything!

Casual hotel, value for money. We stayed for one night and it was ideal for what we needed. It is close to the main Myrtos area, 3 minutes on foot. Our balcony had a nice sea view. Although it was small you could sit and hang your bathing suits and towels. Clean and renovated room with a very comfortable bed mattress.

There was no hair dryer in the room, but to be fair, they don’t state it in the facilities; It was my miss. Make sure to ask if they can lend you one in the lobby. There were mosquitoes all night in the room so you probably want to have a repeller with you.

Stayed here around the same time last year. The hotel is very good and excellent value for money. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. There is a large pool and sun terrace. Rooms are cleaned every day. We had a corner room and so two balconies. The Esperides is just a short distance from the centre of Myrtos, restaurants and the beach. There is ample on site parking. We didn’t eat at the Esperides but drinks and food seemed very reasonable.

The pool ladders have simple round steps which are widely spaced rather than flat steps making it difficult or potentially hazardous to enter or leave the pool for anyone with mobility issues. My partner uses a crutch and could not use the pool because of these tricky pool ladders.

The village of Myrtos is ideal for peaceful holiday and swimming. The hotel is conveniently located at the beginning of the shops/ restaurants and close to the beach. It is easy to go on day trips to Ieraptra as well. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms and the pool are cleaned on a daily basis. We were very lucky to have one of the renovated rooms (modern furniture compared to others). Breakfast and restaurant choices are decent. Overall, I would recommend staying to Esperides; value for money!

The double bed was a bit narrow and the balcony a bit small.

The Esperides is a family-run hotel, located right on the outskirts of Mirtos. The town and the beach can be easily reached on foot in 5 minutes. The friendly owners are very committed to providing their guests with a pleasant stay. All staff are attentive and helpful. The hotel has several room categories and also offers family rooms. The rooms are kept simple and functional and have a bathroom with shower, balcony, air conditioning, TV and fridge and a kettle. The hotel has a swimming pool with sun loungers, a shaded serviced terrace, a lounge area with a bar and a dining room where breakfast is served as a buffet. The breakfast deserves a special mention. It is diverse and leaves nothing to be desired. From typical Greek specialties to scrambled and fried eggs to sausage, cheese and honey or jams and sweet pastries and freshly squeezed orange juice. Everything is homemade from fresh and partly self-produced products. A multilingual library with holiday reading material and the hotel's own free parking spaces complete the offer.

The position of the hotel is amazing, very calm with no other houses around, but in 2 minutes you are on the beach and in the center with many tavernas, cafes and supermarkets. also the outside area of the hotel is so beautiful with lots of tables, flowers, a swimming pool with a stunning view on the cretan landscape of trees and mountains. the owner alexandros is very friendly, as i am trying to learn greek he was organizing to give me a greek book. the room very clean and nice view, good shower, comfortable bed. i would always come back to esperides if i go to myrtos.

Following a lovely lone visit earlier in the month, I took my family for an overnight stay, having discussed my disabled brother's needs with the management. They were fantastic in accommodating all of our needs for close parking, rooms next to each other, early check in and more. The hotel is in a fantastic location with beautiful mountain views from the room balconies, and an easy flat walk to the village and sea. My family enjoyed the lovely pool and the substantial and tasty breakfast. All in all they made it a wonderful short break.

Nothing negative

I received a very warm welcome at this lovely hotel. The owners and staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable, and the dining areas, pool and gardens were very pleasant. The hotel's location is absolutely excellent - edge of village and very peaceful, but only a few minutes walk to the village centre and the sea. I hope to return soon with family.

All good - no complaints at all.

Very friendly family hotel. Good food and good people. The hotel is in a very convenient location. Located next to the ruins of a Minoan village and a short drive to the Sarakinas Gorge. The breakfast offered many choices and was very good. The recommendations they made for restaurants on the beach were spot on. We live on Crete and will be going back.
