Akasha Beach Hotel & Spa

My husband and I stayed mid April for 7 nights. We booked a dazzling blue sea view room. The room was huge. The hotel was beautiful with beach area, beach house pool and main pool. There was also a rooftop pool but this wasn't open yet as still early in the season. Hotel has a lovely indoor spa too. We didn't use this facility but would be ideal if you have a day where the weather isn't too good. All areas of hotel are spotless all of the time. We were Half Board which was perfect for us. This includes buffet breakfast and evening meal. Great choice of food, lovely quality and beautifully presented. Didn't have the usual "vulture" feel you get with buffet dining. All staff throughout the hotel were attentive, welcoming and friendly. From waiting staff and chefs to chambermaids to receptionists. Particular call out to Nada in the restaurant who was warm, pleasant and friendly and Dimitri on reception who was super helpful, very informative with a bubbly personality. They are a credit to your hotel and spoke very highly of your organisation. The location of the hotel was perfect with beach to the rear and main strip with shops and bars on the street that the hotel is located in. Craig and Sylvia Burns

A Slice of Paradise in Crete – Akasha Beach Hotel & Spa From the moment we arrived at Akasha Beach Hotel & Spa, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of pure luxury and relaxation. Nestled on the golden shores of the Mediterranean, this 5-star resort redefines indulgence with its world-class amenities and breathtaking sea views. The reception team set the tone for an unforgettable stay with their warmth and professionalism. Every interaction was effortless, from the seamless check-in process to their thoughtful recommendations for local experiences. They greeted us with genuine smiles, ensuring we felt valued and welcomed from the start. Their attentiveness and efficiency made every request feel effortless, adding to the overall personalized touch of the resort. The rooms are elegantly designed, offering a perfect blend of modern comfort and serene aesthetics. Waking up to the sound of the waves and stepping onto a private balcony with panoramic views was an experience beyond words. The attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel, from the plush bedding to the immaculate cleanliness, truly sets it apart. A special mention goes to the housekeeping team, whose dedication and meticulous care ensured that our space remained pristine and inviting throughout our stay. They worked with an impressive level of discretion and efficiency, always maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness while adding thoughtful touches that made all the difference. Their commitment to perfection truly enhanced the feeling of luxury and comfort. Dining at Akasha was a culinary delight. The restaurants offered a diverse selection of gourmet dishes, each crafted with fresh, local ingredients. From traditional Cretan flavors to international cuisine, every meal was a masterpiece. The beachfront dining experience, with the sun setting over the horizon, was simply magical. All this together made us to book the same place at the same time next year. Can't wait for it...

No doubt a stunning hotel on the inside as out, gorgeous location and very attentive staff, loyal and dedicated. The issues where cold tea/coffee in the mornings, cold food, food would of been great if hot. We even had cold soup so definitely not 5* on food unfortunately. A simple fix would be a coffee machine and not coffee pots, these are a thing of the passed and a drinks station would free up precious time for the restaurant staff. Spa/indoor pool area is so beautiful but not all basic facilities are in with the price. Sauna/steam room both which where switched off and we were told for them to be switched on it would be 50 euros per 30 minutes and we were not sure how this could possibly work as it takes hours for these facilities to warm up and other guests are also in the same area? Bar staff and drinks again amazing and definitely 5 stars. I would love to go back to this gorgeous hotel if the issues are addressed. Resort beautiful and hotel is very close to everything.

I would like to give a shout out Nada our waitress. She was so kind and attentive, making our dining experiences that much better. The hotel is very instagramable. There are lots of options for beds that are not around the main pool. We usually went upstairs to the rooftop pool. The sun beds were so comfy too.

Perfect hotel! One of the best we've been to, we loved the exceptional service from all the staff, from reception to room service and waiters, and we also want to thank Dimitria from lobby for always taking care of us and helping us throughout our stay with with good vibes, you're something special! The rooms are large and spacious, the food is good, the design is beautiful, the pools and beach are amazing, the location is excellent on the main street of the town. there is a paid hotel parking lot or you can park on the side of the street (if you don't arrive during the peak season).
