  : There was nothing not to like really staff were outstanding, friendly helpful fun. The hotel is lovely and a great location big bonus not many British guests. The pool is lovely, there is entertainment almost every evening. The food choices were amazing every meal. If you are going on a day trip they pack a lunch for you if you let them know the night before. The restaurant and bar staff were just lovely and a big thank you to the reception staff who are so accommodating. The staff go over and above to make your stay special. Gouves is a lovely place not too busy. Kostas at the bar has an amazing playlist of music during the day and evening. Not everyones taste but we loved it. Couple of great live acts, dancing singing bingo quizzes. So much to do.
  : I didnt not, not anything. if I was being picky then the air con in the rooms could be better it just wasnt cold enough, and for me only more yoga. Yoga is on the activity list but never happened. Maybe advertise it as lots of people look for places that do yoga and I didnt know until I turned up that yoga was done here.

  : Gouves Bay hotel is a lovely place. Super clean, relaxed, modern, our room was a little on the small side but we had a balcony which made all the difference. The staff are just brilliant - kind, helpful, fun and professional. The food is plentiful, tasty, every day they change the menu and always have a wide variety of meat, fish, veggies/salads deserts... I put on at least a stone in weight! Cretan white wine on tap - just yum. The restaurant closes quite early - 9.30pm and then after you need to get all-inclusive drinks from the pool bar, which would be fine if they served more than a thimbleful! Entertainment was classy, fun and finishes at 11pm. Gouves itself is a peaceful place with lots of lovely beaches. The people are wonderful. I fell in love with Greece during my stay there...if you're looking for nightlife and high-energy holiday, this is not the place for you. If you want quality, tranquility and comfortability, then this is for you!

  : The rooms are clean and nice with everything you need in the bathroom, beautiful garden, free parking, kind staff. Regarding the price we paid (around 84/night for 2 persons), would be a good deal for an all inclusive hotel. Close to the Heraklion airport (20 mins).
  : The pool is quite small, there is no beach in front of the hotel, the food had no taste, cheap drinks.

  : All the employes are really nice and are attempts to your needs all the time. At the beginning we've received another room at we've booked, but the day after we've clarified the situation and inmediatelly we've received a new one in the new building, which is really confortable. The rooms pictures from the main building, or the original part, are not showed in Booking. In my opinion, those rooms should be showed as well cuz are really different to those which they publish the hotel or from the new building. Food is really good and drinks are always available. Offers about activities like ping-pong are all the time available and there shows on the night like live music are always present and really good as well.
  : The showers in the rooms are to the same floor's level and you dont have any door or curtain in order to be isolated. In consequence, all your bathroom is after some minutes totally damp, no matter how carefully you are during you take the shower.
