The Areti was a very nice place to stay. It’s out in the country (nice and quiet) 24 minutes from downtown Chania. The rooms have views over looking the water. The room was nice and spacious and clean. The staff was excellent, friendly and helpful. There are a couple of restaurants about 5 minutes away that are pretty good. You will pass them on the way up to the hotel. Highly recommend for your stay in the Chania area

The pool was the very big advantage of the appartment (big for 5-6 family, good for small kids and one side with 3m depth). The pool was open even on the evenig with nice lighting. The appartment was new (less than 10 years old). Separation was good from other apartments. Everthig was clean and maintained. Staff were helpful.

Even the sea seems close, the aparthotel is on the top of the hill, vehicles has to be used to any purpose....

Spacious room, balcony with lovely view. Very friendly staff. Fantastic pool with poolside cafe/bar. The room was cleaned and beds made every day - which was more than expected.

The fridge was in a poor state of repair - although functional. The bed was a little too firm - although I accept this is down to personal preference. The water pressure on the bathroom taps was poor although it was fine in the shower.

The place is amazing! The room was so spacious and had a large balcony with amazing views over the sea. The air con was very powerful. The area was really quiet and peaceful which was a lovely contrast to Chania. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the pool area was brilliant, such a large pool and plenty of really good quality sun beds. There’s the option to order food throughout the day which was always very delicious. The staff were also very friendly, they even gave us a free parasol to keep for the week for when we went to beaches, so thoughtful! 100% would recommend, the place completely exceeded our expectations and we were sad to leave.

The bed was a little hard so could’ve been comfier.

Beautiful views from seaview rooms. Very nice and clean rooms. Would recommend and stay again. Specially great that this is a pet friendly hotel. Liked everything about it. Staff very friendly!

The other tourists and that has nothing to with this place but to those people. They didn't think about other guests at all. They went and put their towels early in the morning and reserved those few sunbeds all to them self. Towels sat there and these people went how they wanted out of the pool area. Middle aged people and behave like this. Hotel should not allow people to do this. Staff was very very friendly, only the lady, I think maybe the mother could be not so nice. Asked for taxi and she just gave the number to figure out ourself but we had problem since the taxi company claimed there are 2 hotels by same name in this area. There ain't. The daughter was nice and helped us with that. Man (son?) extremely nice.

Great location if you don't like the hustle of a city or a seaside resort (but still short drive to Chania and the airport). Great pool and great pool bar (very tasty coctails). Everything calm and quiet. Good to relax and calm down after a busy day. Although there is no restaurant as such at the hotel they serve some food (limited menu) till around 9 p.m. which is a great plus. We arrived later in the evening and were too tired to go out to a taverna, so being able to eat something at the hotel was a very nice surprise. Extremely welcoming and accommodating hosts!!!

We liked everything

The hotel is very nicely situated overlooking the bay and the mountains and is very quiet. We particularly liked the pool and the amazing breakfast that showcased local foods. The staff was very accommodating and very friendly. The owner has planted rare fruit trees and flowers from Crete around the hotel which we really enjoyed.

The bathroom was a bit dated, but apart from this everything was really pleasant.

The location and the views from the hotel were amazing. Calm and quiet place on a hill (renting a car to easily get there is necessary). The pool area was never crowded. Hotel staff was really friendly. There was a pool bar where you could order drinks and snacks. There were also couple of nice tavernas in the village nearby. Really relaxing atmosphere!

The surroundings are beautiful, room spacious and clean. The family who runs the hotel is amazing, this place really feels like a home away from home. Food is so delicious greek home made food, snacks and salads. Wine and cocktails are top-notch. Somehow all the other guests seems to be nice too, everyone behaves well. If you want to enjoy in an authentic Cretan atmosphere, Areti is the place to be. Cant wait for our next visit, thank you Mary & the family.

Loved everything.

It is located uphill so the views are incredible, you can see the sea from the balcony. The pool is very big and there is shade from the palm trees. The chambers are big and clean and the people are very welcoming. There is also a nice little beach at 10 minutes by car. We didn’t have breakfast as it starts at 8h30 but you can have this option if you want to.

The rooms are a little bit old style, but it is not a problem if it doesn’t bother you.
