We had never been to Crete before and we have loved it. The hotel is in a beautiful setting with sea views. All the staff are fantastic, excellent service and incredibly helpful when organising excursions. The rooms we had were clean and met our expectations. Being slightly outside Agia Pelagia itself means that it is a little quieter but it is easy to get to the beach when you want to. The food we had at the hotel surpassed our expectations, breakfasts were plentiful of high quality and great variety. Evening meals were amazing, we ate at several taverna/restaurant by the beach at Agia Pelagia and the food was good, but the hotel restaurant quality and flavours were amazing. I have two teenage boys who would live on pizza and burgers given the chance but they loved their meals. That in itself is high praise. The service from George and his team was brilliant, we never met the chefs but a big thank you to them. The pianist on Monday evenings and Cretan night on Friday lent a special dimension to our stay and the latter was great fun. We were very sad to leave as we had an amazing holiday. Thank you Happy Cretan

We had a cave room which had everything we wanted. The only gripe I had was the pillows. I prefer feather but I know this is a personal choice.
The staff were kind, obliging and our cleaner did a great job every day.
We did have a few meals in the restaurant which were al a carte and so very nice.
The views were wonderful from our pool and the whole holiday was chilled, peaceful and calming.

We enjoyed our 10 day trip in Happy Cretan . Everything was good close to nice beach. We enjoyed the bike ride that is offered by free. The only complaint was that first night in the restaurant that we went the bill was to expensive compared to all restaurants in the Crete.

The entire staff were friendly, welcoming and extremely professional. The property was unique… the room was spacious and the amenities were endless. We loved the high end blue tooth speaker system in our room as well as the robes and slippers. Dimitrios and Kostas were very helpful and Elizabeth gave us terrific deep tissue messages. Stella took great care of our room. The restaurant onsite was excellent and we were well attended to by the staff. We are grateful! We will return for sure!!

I had a stunning stay at Happy Cretan Suites during late September 2025. The staff, the facilities, the views, ambience and the food were all amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook this hotel and I have recommended it to all of my friends.

On the first morning I opted for the complimentary yoga in the spa area which was incredible, the teacher was very knowledgable and I felt relaxed and energised following it.

Lana who cleaned my room did a wonderful job, left me cute notes and complementary snacks most days. She was great, even when I was in her way because I returned to my room mid clean!

The ladies doing the breakfast service were amazing too, I cannot remember their names but they were so kind and welcoming. Food was very very good

Recommendations: a complimentary fresh 1L bottle of water should be provided for each room every day. I found it quite frustrating that there wasn’t free drinkable water available in the room when I arrived unless I bought some (I was parched after travelling the entire day). There was some overly priced water in the mini bar that you could purchase but most luxury hotels I stay in give you free water every day so I thought this was unusual. If a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine could be provided, a free bottle of water should be too.

Pools were freezing cold, even after a hot day. Recommend to heat them

Please put the yoga class on more than once a week, it was amazing so I’d have loved to have gone again.

The beds were a bit hard and uncomfortable. The shower drain was very slow and you had to walk through your own self to get out . I asked to have it resolved and nothing ever happened. You shouldn't have to ask twice in the bag to have something fixed. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was quite Pleasant

The service was absolutely incredible here! From the moment we arrived, upon check-in we were offered cool and refreshing water with lemon slices. We were then given a tour of the compound and taken to our private suite where complimentary champagne and greek treats were waiting. The pool and view were stunning, the food in the restaurant is some of the best quality we had in Crete - *tip get the tzatziki and ask for the chef's sweet treat of the day - the room was cleaned every day to an impeccable standard - and my standards are sky high as I'm slightly OCD. The cleanliness and reaponsiveness of the staff is some of the best I've ever encountered. The breakfast was bountiful and as well as your usual continental style breakfast you can order hot food options at the bar. The pool for the private suite is shockingly cool in the day time which is lovely if you've been out in the sun all day but it warms up upon sunset. Parking is fantastic, we rented a car and never failed to find a spot no matter what time we returned to the hotel after spending time out. Happy Cretan Suites was truly a 10/10 experience and we would definitely return! Thank you so much to all the stuff who made our stay so fantastic.

I’ve been to Greece many times before, but this hotel made this trip my favorite. Hotel is set in a beautiful surrounding overlooking the ocean, the two pool areas were amazing, with plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. Room was spacious, clean, and well appointed. Food, especially breakfast buffet, was delicious plentiful. All staff were kind and attentive the moment I walked in the door. The manager Dimitris even came to my room to deliver a very thoughtful parting gift the night before my departure. Would not hesitate to stay here again, 100% recommend, no complaints.

We spent 10 nights at Happy Cretan Suites in one of their stunning cave suites with a private pool, and it was a truly memorable experience. The suite was beautifully designed, offering a unique blend of luxury and natural charm, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

The staff were absolutely lovely—warm, attentive, and always ready to help. They went out of their way to accommodate our vegan diet, and the food was consistently good, with thoughtful options that made dining a pleasure.

The wellness offerings were a nice touch, though we would have appreciated more frequent yoga sessions and a broader selection of spa treatments. That said, the Saturday yoga class was excellent and left us feeling refreshed and centered.

The property is walkable to town, but only during daylight hours due to the terrain, so we opted for taxis in the evenings. It's important to note that the location and layout are best suited for guests without mobility issues.

Overall, Happy Cretan Suites is a wonderful choice for a relaxing getaway, especially if you're looking for a peaceful atmosphere, kind hospitality, and a touch of luxury.

About 30 minutes away from Heraklion, so I would recommend renting a car. You can arrange a taxi, but it’s better to have your own transportation on the island.

Food was a bit hit or miss. Breakfast had a large spread- I didn’t know until after the fact but you can request an omelette or fresh eggs.

Room was lovely and we enjoyed being in a hot tub suite!

This is a very nice property with super nice people! They had multiple pools, bars, and restaurants to choose from. Saying that, the food was meh. It had plenty of options and items to choose from, but in our opinion wasn’t real good. We decided to take the 8EU cab ride into town and eat there every night. We had one of the suites and it was excellent. Very spacious room and bathroom/shower area. Not to mention the hot tub right outside your room was incredible. The only issue we had was with Laundry service. We received our clothes later than the time we were told and when we got them back they were still wet due to them having dryer issues. Thankfully we weren’t flying out and only to pack them in a bag in our cab to our next location. A bit of a pain but not the end of the world. All in all a wonderful place to stay but you may want to step out to get your food.

We spent a lot of time at the pool, which was peaceful and had amazing views. The restaurant served very good food, and we appreciated the variety and quality. What stood out most was the friendly and helpful staff—everyone was welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home.

Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d definitely stay here again if we’re back in Crete.

Great Hotel outside of Heraklion

This was a terrific hotel about 25 kilometers out of Heraklion. It was fine for us because we had a car and the driving easy. The hotel was walking distance down the hill Agia Pelagia which is a cute little beach town. We ate at the hotel restaurant one night and were pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of the dishes we had- way better than a hotel restaurant usually is.

The staff was great and the breakfast buffet was very good. If you are planning a trip to Knossos and the Archeological Museum this is a good option. It was nice to get back to the quiet of an out of town hotel.
The only downside is they are trying to hard to be kitschy which is totally unnecessary for such a quality property. We loved it all in all

The staff here (Demetrios especially) get an A for warmth and hospitality. The hotel itself is beautiful, with an amazing view of the hillside below and sea, off in the distance. We loved the private hot tub and delicious food, and sweet personal note greetings/farewell as well as a daily sweet treat in our room. The only thing that could have made it better was if there was a courtesy shuttle that brings you down to the beach/town--even if there was a small charge. Since the customers are generally from out of town, we would need an umbrella/chairs/blanket etc. I think most people would be willing to rent them for the day so that could help offset the shuttle. It's too far to walk and carry so much and climb back up the big hill at the end of the day and going into town with a private taxi gets pricey. Just an idea. Anyhow, we loved our stay there!

I woke up to birds, sheep & beautiful sunrises over the sea of Crete. The majestic landscape, the friendliness/attentiveness of the staff, and the thoughtful layout of the entire resort beg you to sit, relax, swim, eat, drink, and savor every moment at this magical little place. I rented a car and explored as much as I could but I could easily have spent days watching the sunlight reveal shades of blue I’ve never seen before from a chaise near one of the many pools. What a gift the Happy Cretin shares!
