"A very good hotel. The rooms are beautiful. The girl at the front desk is a true professional—very friendly, sweet, and helpful with everything. Unfortunately, I only stayed for one night. If I had known, I would have stayed longer."

"If I could give more than five stars, I genuinely would. From the moment we arrived at Castello Boutique Resort & Spa, we felt something that is becoming increasingly rare on holiday – complete relaxation. Within minutes, the stresses of everyday life had disappeared, replaced by an overwhelming feeling that we were exactly where we needed to be. The hotel doesn’t just provide accommodation; it creates an atmosphere where you can truly switch off and simply enjoy every moment. The entire team deserves enormous credit. Every single member of staff greeted us with genuine warmth, smiles and enthusiasm throughout our stay. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and every interaction felt sincere rather than rehearsed. Two people, however, deserve a special mention. Epthimios was simply outstanding. His knowledge of wine was exceptional, and every evening he guided us towards the perfect bottle to accompany our meal. His recommendations never missed the mark and genuinely elevated each dining experience. Beyond that, he was incredibly friendly, engaging and somehow always seemed to know exactly how to make every guest feel special. As fellow football fans, our nightly conversations became something we genuinely looked forward to! Jennifer was equally wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and always happy to help with anything we needed, she represents everything great about Greek hospitality. One moment perfectly summed up the attitude of the staff. I asked whether they could make an iced coffee, barista style. They admitted they hadn’t made one before, but rather than simply saying no, they embraced the challenge with smiles and enthusiasm. The result was fantastic, and it perfectly demonstrated the team’s willingness to go above and beyond to make guests happy. It’s that attitude that separates good hotels from exceptional ones. The housekeeping team also deserve huge praise. Our room was immaculate every single day, maintained to an exceptionally high standard, allowing us to return each afternoon to a space that felt fresh, comfortable and inviting. The food throughout our stay was absolutely exceptional. The evening à la carte menu was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish arrived looking like a piece of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. Each evening became an experience rather than simply dinner, and it was consistently one of the highlights of our day. Breakfast catered for absolutely everyone. Whether you wanted fresh fruit and cereals, continental options, a full English breakfast or freshly prepared dishes from the à la carte menu, everything was plentiful, fresh and of excellent quality. It was the perfect start to every day. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained, peaceful and stylish without ever feeling pretentious. It strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort, allowing you to completely unwind. We also fell in love with Sissi. What a beautiful village. It offers everything "

"I had a wonderful stay at Sunrise Apartments. The rooms are very spacious, spotlessly clean, and each one has a lovely terrace with a stunning view of the Cretan Sea. The hotel itself is beautiful, filled with colorful flowers, making you feel like you’re staying in a charming little traditional village. What really made the experience special was the staff. Everyone is incredibly kind, always greeting you with a smile and taking the time to chat, which creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Crete. Thank you to the entire team for making my holiday so enjoyable!"

"I have been to Crete many times but never Sissi, after the demise in quality of all inclusive holidays my family and I decided to try this hotel and the half board package. This hotel was everything we hoped it would be. We booked a superior room and do not think wr got this but it was big enough for what we needed it for. The beds were very comfortable, AC was strong and there was plenty of luggage space. Only negative was the shower which would alternate between very hot and icy cold and every temp in between, however a small negative. The food at breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and lots being freshly made throughout. The pancakes were fantastic, as was the constant coffee refills from the staff. The staff in the restaurant at both meal times were amazing, so friendly and nice, a breath of fresh air after other hotels we have visited. The food in the evening was varied, tasty and always hot. Really very good. A tip is to get the outside eating area as the main room gets very hot. Athena at the pool bar was always friendly, was lovely to my family and great for advice on the local area and travel. Fresh pool towels every day is a nice touch too. My only gripe and it is a small one is no room is provided to shower. you check out at 11 and the only place to shower for late departures is the public bathroom by the smaller pool. The small pool area was perfect for us, only about 30 sun loungers and not too hectic, the main pool area seemed a bit crammed in like sardines. I would definitely visit here again. The building work at nearby hotels does not cause any issue and this is a very peaceful place to visit"

"Our stay at Angela Suites Boutique was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The hotel is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and you can tell the staff take immense pride in keeping everything to such a high standard. Our room was cleaned every day, with fresh towels provided daily, making it feel like a luxury experience throughout our stay. The location is perfect—just a short stroll from some wonderful tavernas, shops, and bars, so everything you need is within easy walking distance while the hotel itself remains peaceful and relaxing. What really makes this hotel exceptional, though, is the staff. Every single member of the team goes above and beyond to make your holiday special. The lovely girls serving breakfast each morning always greeted us with genuine smiles and somehow knew everyone by name, creating such a warm and personal atmosphere. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their kindness made every morning start perfectly. A special mention has to go to Lefty behind the bar. He is an absolute star! His friendly personality, great sense of humour, and incredible mojitos kept us coming back every evening. He’s a real credit to the hotel and made our nights by the pool even more enjoyable. If you’re staying here, you also have to visit Amelia’s Bar—it’s simply perfection and well worth a visit. The hotel’s Thursday barbecue was another highlight. For just €25, it offered an incredible selection of delicious food, with generous portions and plenty of choice. It was excellent value for money and a brilliant evening. Angela Suites Boutique exceeded all our expectations. Between the immaculate hotel, ideal location, fantastic food, and the most attentive, welcoming staff we’ve experienced, it truly deserves every one of its five stars. The team genuinely care about their guests and go above and beyond to make everyone feel valued. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and will be recommending this wonderful hotel to family and friends."

"We had a beautiful room with a pool and sea view. Very clean, with everything we needed. The atmosphere was relaxing, welcoming, and warm. The restaurant was really good, with a wide choice of food. The staff were extremely welcoming. We had the chance to go to the spa, and there too we had a lovely time. We rented a car through the hotel, and the person who helped us was very welcoming — everything went smoothly and easily. A special mention for Mary and Mohamad, who welcomed us so, so warmly from our very first visit to the restaurant, and every day after that, morning, noon, and evening."

"Wonderful food, excellent location, amazing atmosfere. The staff were professional and lovely. I definitely will come again."

"If you’re looking for quiet, relaxing accommodation this is the place. Accommodation is typical Greek style, lovely and clean, well equipped facilities for self cantering. Recommend sea view, especially roof top terrace, amazing sunsets. Situated in Sissi with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. Nearest beach is Boufos approximately 15 mins walk. Need beach shoes. Owner Sophie and her son Lefteris are friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend these apartments."

"Location is great and near both supermarkets. Also lovely walk to the harbour. Atmosphere was chilled and welcoming. Rooms are cleaned and bright. Food is delicious 😋 and all staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Maria,Paul and Litsa are great. We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely return. Sissi Crete is beautiful. Allen and Jane"
