I recently stayed at this hotel with my family and had a very positive experience. The cleanliness was excellent — everything from the rooms to the shared areas was spotless and well looked after. I’d give it a solid 4.5 out of 5, as there’s always a little room for improvement, but overall it was truly impressive. The hotel staff were helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Everyone we interacted with was professional, kind, and ready to assist whenever needed. Their friendliness made a big difference and helped us feel at home. Again, a strong 4.5 out of 5. One of the highlights for us was how child-friendly the hotel is. There were plenty of activities and spaces designed for kids, and the staff were very accommodating to families with young children. It’s definitely a great choice for families. The food was decent — I’d rate it around 3 out of 5. While breakfast had a nice selection and the ingredients were fresh, the overall variety and taste of meals could be improved. All in all, a great hotel for families looking for comfort, cleanliness, and friendly service, even if the food didn’t quite match our taste.

We had one week stay at this 4-star hotel in Crete. The location is fantastic — right by the beach with breathtaking sea views. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The rooms were clean but not comfortable, our room had a door to the room next door and the noises from the neighbors disturbed us during the stay. The food was quite average and became repetitive over the days. It would be great if the hotel could improve the variety and quality of the meals to better match the overall high standard of a 4-star hotel. Overall, a great place to stay if you get a room with more privacy and not connected to other rooms and definitely not a good option for an all inclusive hotel. I would recommend trying the local Greek foods nearby.

A Perfect Holiday at Kalives Beach Hotel! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kalives Beach Hotel, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome — warm smiles, helpful advice, and genuine hospitality were constant throughout our stay. The location is ideal — right on the beach, with stunning sea views and just a short walk to the charming village of Kalives. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Waking up to the sound of the waves was simply magical! What truly made the difference was the atmosphere created by the amazing team. The Guest Relations and Entertainment Manager did a fantastic job ensuring guests were happy, engaged, and well taken care of. The evening entertainment was a highlight — fun, lively, and perfect for all ages. The food was delicious, with a variety of local and international options, and always fresh. The pool area was well-maintained, and we loved the easy access to the beach for a swim or sunbathing. If you're looking for a place that combines comfort, great service, and authentic Cretan charm, Kalives Beach Hotel is the perfect choice. We will definitely be back! Special thanks to momo.
