My girlfriend and I booked a last minute break as we both needed a break to wind down. Although the hotel was much bigger than we had expected, with a lot of families it was actually a very relaxed atmosphere and quiet. Highlights were the room, which is one of the biggest I have ever stayed with a huge, very... More

My husband and I got married at this hotel in August 2011 and cannot recommend it enough. All the staff were fantastic. We were made to feel like we were very special guests from the moment we arrived and we didnt want to leave. We had about 20 guests in all including children and they couldnt praise the hotel and...

LOCATION: 4/5: This depends on what your priorities are on holiday… if you prefer to be in the heart of the action, this may not be for you! We loved it because it has gorgeous views, very well-kept grounds, and options for sun-bathing (pool-side / terraces cut into the rocks leading down to the sea / small beach area). The... More

We stayed at St Nicolas Bay resort early October 2011. We rented a car and drove from Heraklion. Fairly easy to find providing you dont venture into the one way systems of Agios Nicolaos. The porter that greats you is excellent. Smiling and ever helpful. Check-in was straightforward and we were quickly put in our rooms. We travelled as 4... More

My partner and I returned on 23rd September after a disappointing two week stay at the St. Nicholas Bay hotel. The hotel itself is nice enough but certainly not the 5* it purports to be. Most of the staff are ok but one of the breakfast restaurant managers (of which there are several) was downright rude when my partner asked... More

In June, my daughter and I had the good fortune to stay in St Nicolas Bay Resort, for almost a week. I just want to thank all the staff for a magical experience. Firstly, we found the lack of signs and commercialism around the grounds of the hotel charming. The architecture and art collection stunning. It truly was like staying... More

The essential positives: an exceptional location, an elegant and well designed hotel, very well maintained, relaxed ambience and "good guests", very good but informal service, all grades of room offering something special. The rooms are stylish and uncluttered. A special thanks to the front of house and Nicos who is very committed to making things work for his guests. This... More

We booked this hotel as it was secluded, but within walking distance of the town - it was small (100 odd rooms) and had a very clean, uncluttered look to it. Well, we booked with Thomas Cook and the cost included individual transfer - definitely recommend this if you can afford it. Everything about this hotel was superb - the... More

Our travel agent recommended this hotel and of course, after checking on TA, we booked to go. We travelled with First Choice Premier and the flight out was OK. Heraklion airport is organised choas, but we eventually set off for the hotel. Check in was friendly and speedy. The duty Manager took our luggage and us to our junior suite... More
