The hotel located in front of a beach, but that is like 20 yard in diameter. The real beaches are not directly accessible from the hotel. You have to go around the town (15 min walk for a closest beach). After all, the ocean view is great and it was quiet as not really summer season yet.

Friendly and helpful staff at front desk. Room was fine with a hard bed. No coffee maker though. Nice view of gardens and out to the sea. Dinner was pretty good for the second night of operation but the view from the deck made up for it.

Great stay
We stayed at the Zorbas Beach Village Hotel the last week in April and it was really great. As it was the very beginning of the 'holiday season', the hotel was quiet and very pleasant. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a two bedroom apartment which was great; a kingsize bed in the open plan front room and two single beds in the back room. We had a terrace at the front and back, both with a table and chairs, so we could always catch the sun! The apartment had a small kitchenette which was more than adequate with a microwave and two-ring hot plate for cooking (pans, basic utensils, crockery, glassware and cutlery provided). Towels were provided and were changed at least once during our stay. We ate breakfast at the hotel a few mornings - this was really good value at 8 euros as there is lots of choice and it's seemingly unlimited. We were able to order the breakfast items we wanted, but maybe there is a breakfast buffet when the tourist season picks up, as there was a table with a buffet set up that we didn't see used during our stay. The food at the hotel (we only tried evening meals, not lunch) was ok, and there is also a taverna next door (Thanasis) that was worth a visit. The best place we ate by a mile was the Sunset Taverna right on Stavros Beach - it's a short walk (maybe 20 mins) from the hotel and serves really delicious food. Everything was clean and well looked after.

perfect family time
this was the most relaxing holiday with stunning views. the kids facilities where right out side our rooms so we could just sit back on the veranda and enjoy the crystal clear sky with a bottle of local wine. the swimming pool over looks the sea which is breath taking. 100% going back

Short and sweet
We stayed one night. There is a nice pool and a great view. The hotel is away from most of the activity areas in Crete so if you want to get out and see the sites you will need a car.

Roe family visit to Crete
A gem on the island of Crete beautifull location 20 mins away from chania airport great pool full of sea water clear as glass and no colder than a normal unheated pool lovely kids play area the restaurant is good but the menu is limited a car is a must at the hotel as the bus is not that regular if you like walking this is ideal location as a starting point to the great gourges around the area there are great restaurants in the area and we thought them cheap average for 4people and a child starters drinks and main meal 60 bucks and plenty big one bit of advice if your driving watch for the bends the cretaen drivers seem to be in the habit of coming on to your side of the road so keep plenty to your own side as much as you can when on the bends all the people we met on our holiday were lively both at the hotel and every where we went we found it enough to have a good week here on Crete as we don't do walking but the island and the hotel were absolutely gorgeous and the beach at stavros is unreal that's where we stayed for most of our holiday and within walking distance from the hotel there are very good restaurants on the beach as well just ask for directions 20 minutes at a casual walking pace 5mins in the car have a good one and don't let the flight times put you off its worth the visit

Decent place a ways outside of the city
A good low cost option for saving money on rooms near Chania. The hotel is located a ways outside of Chania and the drive back and forth can be annoying. Front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Cook from Georgia did a good job making the food. Other kitchen staff seemed a bit cheap as they nickel-and-dimed us over every little thing. Rooms were good sized but made us nervous over people breaking in to steal stuff. One biggest concern is that this is a family hotel and yet there is no child-proof gate around the pool. That should be addressed promptly to keep children safe from drowning. Other than that, we were happy with this place.

Great little hotel by the beach
We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is right by the sea and a small beach. It has a lovely salt water pool. Our stay was not expensive and the hotel was real value for money. The rooms are fairly basic but comfortable. They have most of the requirements for self catering. We would stay here again.

Hotel was excellent, service was great. Located in a very quiet spot and ideal for families. It maybe a good idea to rent a car as the local bus is very few and fair between but the hotel provides info and the bus stop is about a ten min walk. Close to the beach and our room came with a great see view, the pool was excellent as well.

Our two-year-old loved it
We took our two-year-old and infant on a vacation and this was a great place for us. They have a huge playground, a swimming pool, restaurant, and a small sandy beach on-site that is inside a rocky inlet which makes if a perfect beach for small kids as it's not too wild and is small enough that they can't get lost. It is also right next to a bigger beach for others. The "apartment" style rooms were great as you could eat dinner on your porch and watch the sunset as well as prepare your own food if you want. It is fairly close to the Chania airport and not too far to Chania itself. It's also close to the BEAUTIFUL "Triada Monastaries" hike. We LOVED it. Great hotel for the price!

Good hotel for a family on a budget.
Hotel was average, but on reflection, the price was very reasonable. Nice location and would be very good for families with small children on a low budget. Family run and friendly. Maria, a daughter, is an excellent cook, but unfortunately that facility along with the Bar was closed on October 1st , without notice, 5 days before we were due to leave. Very good swimming pool and childs play area...quiet and scenic.

Charming discovery
This is out-of-the-way and we had to ask directions to find it. Few road signs. Lovely location, great sunsets, quiet. Nothing fancy. Family owned and operated with obvious love and caring. Dinner by the pool fixed by the owner's daughter. An authentic connection with Crete. Our veranda looked out on the rocky shore (beach nearby) for a memorable view of the full moon.
