I liked the fact the property is on the beach. The pool is beautiful and clean. I did not like the fact there is no restaurant on the property. Only a snack bar in the pool area.

The self contained accommodation at Zorbas Beach Village hotel was very nice and it included everything you might need even for a longer stay (e.g. small electric oven & stove, microwave, all utensils you might need...). We also enjoyed the two private balconies and large kitchen/lounge with tv.

We particularly liked the fact that reception left few mosquitoes repellent plugs as this was a nice touch. The complex is in a quiet narrow lane a bit isolated from the main town, but easily reachable either by car or by their free shuttle bus.

Only \"negative\" note is that the we discovered the very nice pool was only open in the afternoon (after 2.30pm) which was a bit of a bummer as we planned to use it in the morning, as well as the fact that the small private beach didn't have any umbrella and few chairs. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay.

Very nice, relaxing, clean and friendly. Homes are well equipped and comfortable. Food is very good as well. Nice bar, pool area and beach. Couple more beaches nearby. Two Supermarkets down town about one mile away. You can ask for free transportation. Transfer to airport 30 euros. Nice play area for kids. Only one other restaurant nearby. Bus stop to Chania and Stavros centre about 500 metres on main road. We had lovely Holidays half term October. Very recommended. We will visit again!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at ZORBA. However, the grounds around the hotel were very rundown. The website advertised a beach bar and swim up pool bar. Neither one of those existed. The pool was great and the beach was great. We enjoed a nice hike up the mountain near the hotel and a relaxing lunch in Stavros. I would stay at ZORBAS again for the low price, but we were disappointed by the false advertisement.

Zorbas-only for people who do not wash themselves

On the first night we were not give the booked room (with fireplace) and there was no warm water working in that room. We complained next morning and were given then another room (with fireplace and separate bedroom, as we had booked such a room). Also there was a problem, whenever the water for the shower should be heated, the whole room's electricity broke down. I was so pissed about these constant problems, that went naked, just dressed with a towel to the reception and complained. Then we got the key to another room, where we were not allowed to stay, but just allowed to take the warm shower and go back to our room...not too nice overall...but the staff was friendly and tried their best. WARNING to travellers outside the summer season: They charge another 6 € per night for the heating!

En dårlig start

Vi ankom kl. 14:00 og fik at vide, at vi ikke kunne få den bestilte lejlighed pga. 'plumming problems'. I stedet kunne vi få et lille studio + gratis morgenmad. Vi så det og var ikke interesserede. derfor bad jeg om at få vores penge tilbage, så vi kunne finde et andet overnatningssted. der blev ringet til manageren, som tilsyneladende sagde nej. Så blev vi sat til at vente, og ført 15:30 kunne vi få det, vi havde bestilt og betalt for, og jeg er helt sikker på, at det kun skete, fordi jeg var særdeles vedholdende i, at vi ville have det, vi havde betalt for eller have pengene retur. Da jeg spurgte, hvordan de pludseligt alligevel kunne fremskaffe en lejlighed, var svaret, at de ville forsøge at overtale andre gæster til et byt. Det er fuldstændig uacceptabelt, at vi skulle stå og vente 1½ time på at kunne booke ind - og uden nogen former for kompensation. De to damer i receptionen var venlige.
Vi forsøgte adskillige at få kontakt med Hotels.com, men vi kunne ikke komme igennem deres telefonsluse. Vi blev ved med at få svaret, at det reservationsnummer, vi angav, ikke fandtes. Det er også helt uacceptabelt, at man i en nødsituation ikke altid kan få fat på Hotels.com. Vi har været kunder i firmaet i mange år, og det er første gang, vi har haft brug for hjælp - som vi så ikke kunne få.

Koselig og hyggelig hotell med rolig beliggenhet. Fint basseng og ikke noe stress med solsenger, alltid ledig. Hyggelig bassengbar med servering hele dagen. Liten strand rett ved hotellet. Fine leiligheter i små lave hus. Eneste problem var at det var aircondition bare i det ene rommet slik at det ble for varmt på det andre soverommet.

Lugnt och avkopplande för hela familjen

Trivsamt familjehotell fritt från \"Bamseklubbar\". De ca 50 lägenheterna ligger avskilda från varandra med egen \"täppa\" framför balkongen. All nödvändig köksutrustning finns för matlagning. Vi hade turen att ha ett rum som låg i skugga från eftermiddagen, så med hjälp av fördragna gardiner hade vi svalt i rummet på nätterna. I rummen med eftermiddagssol behöver man nog kosta på sig de 9 euro/dygn som hotellet tar i hyra för air comdition, vilket vi tycker borde ingå i hotellpriset. Däremot låg vår lägenhet i anslutning till en annan, som kunde öppnas upp till en svit, endast avskiljd med en dörr emellan, och en garderob som var placerad framför. Det gjorde att vår och grannens lägenhet var extremt lyhörda. Annars uppskattade vi närheten till poolen och restaurangen. Sängarna var bekväma pch det var helt och rent. Ingen superlyx, men hotellet förtjänar mer än väl den enda \"stjärnan\" på betygskalan. Hotellet erbjuder utflyktsmöjligheter vilket kan rekommenderas om man tröttnar på solandet vid poolen. Den egna lilla stranden erbjuder sköna bad i långgrund vid med stenig botten. Maten på restaurangenvar god och vällagad, men efter ett par dagar lite enkelspårig, så då finns andra tavernor i närheten. Solnedgången vid poolen/restaurangen är magnifik. Lite längre bort ligger den lilla stranden Zorba beach, där finns också fler tavernor och restauranger. Området är lugnt och avkopplande i lantlig miljö. Vill man ha en lugn och avkopplad semester med familjen kan man absolut åka hit.

Edullinen huoneistohotelli meren rannalla

Huoneistohotellli sijaitsee maaseudun rauhassa, aivan meren rannalla. Huoneistoja oli montaa eri kokoa ja osan pystyi yhdistämään isommallekin porukalle. Huoneet olivat juuri kunnostettuja ja pinnat olivat hyvässä kunnossa. Palvelu oli hyvää ja joustavaa. Allasbaarilta sai myös maistuvan aamiaisen ja iltapalaa. Vuokra-auton kanssa liikkuvalle aivan loistava paikka. Pari pientä rantaa sadan metrin päässä, pari Tavernaa ja kauppoja perustarpeeseen, sekä pari rantaa lisää kävelymatkan päässä. Muutoin palvelut automatkan päässä. Rauhalliseen lomailuun paikan päällä ja tukikohdaksi autolla laajemmin saarella seikkailevalle. Ei luksusta etsiville, mutta hintaansa nähden erinomainen majoitus rauhaa rakastaville, pariskunnista perheille.

Hadde noen supre dager på hotellet. Nydelig utførelse på området, og veldig bra renhold og orden på hele anlegget. Kort vei til stranden, bare 50 meter nedenfor bassenget. Det er saltvann i bassenget, som var litt rart til å begynne med, men etter kort tid ble både voksne og barn vant til det. Veldig hyggelig å serviceinnstilt betjening. Kommer helt sikkert til å reise tilbake dit ved en sener annledning. Ca 15 min å gå til super strand i Stavros. 35 min med buss til Chania.

Upea paikka keskellä ei mitään

Stavroksen kylä meren ääressä, keskellä ei mitään, aivan mahtavat maisemat.

500m päässä kaksi \"supermarketia\" ja kylällä pari tavernaa....ei mitään muuta

Auto ihan välttämätön jos haluaa vähänkään ihmisten ilmoille tai shoppailemaan

Matkaa lentokentältä ei ole kuin 11km, mutta sekin serpenttiiniä vuoristossa, ja kreetalainen liikenne, huh-huh, liikennesäännöthän on tunetusti vain turisteja varten, autoilu tuolla ei sovi alotteilijoille.

Matkaa esim Plataniakseen vain 17km, mutta matka-aika ilman Chanian ruuhkaa 45min!!! mutkissa kun nopeusrajoitus on 25 ja syystä.

Merivesi-allas kellutti niin hienosti että evääkään ei tarttenut liikauttaa että pysyi pinnalla, suosittelen uimalaseja, suolavesi ja heiastava aurinko sai silmät kyllä kirvelemään

Meillä oli olohuone (jossa parisänky) avokeittiöllä ja erillinen makuuhuone, parveekkeet niin aamu- kuin iltaaurinkoon, ilmastointia ei tarvittu, kun ikkunoissa ötökkäverkot ja verhot tiukasti kiinni, itse ikkunoitahan ei tietenkään suljettu missään vaiheessa.

Mini-keittiössä oli jääkaappi, 2 keittolevyä, vedenkeitin ja mikro!, kaapissa paistinpannu ja kattila, muutama lautanen lasi ja kuppi, kertikset on kova sana

Tallelokero kuului hintaan, eikä myöhäinen uloskirjatuminen 12->20 maksanut kuin 30€ extraa

Altaan yhteydessä baari/ravintola...ihan ok, altaalle ei saa viedä minkäänlaisia omia eväitä/juomia - tästä miiiiinus
