Featuring a magnificent outdoor pool and a restaurant, the 5-star NEMA Design Hotel & Spa - Adults Only offers accommodation in Analipsi of Hersonissos. The resort features a private sandy beach. Free WiFi is available in all areas. We love the style of the building. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom is up to standard. We had half board. It is a buffet in the evening but a different theme every night so it never bores

With magnificent sea views from a rocky headland above Aghios Nikolaos Bay, this adults-only resort blends together all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.

Take time out to relax by the swimming pool or rest by the lapping waves of the hotel's private beach, where you can try various water-sports. Despite high expectations - this hotel exceeded all our expectations. We are used to staying at amazing places, but this is by far the best hotel we’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, the surroundings are stunning, and it truly feels like paradise. The staff are the most friendly and welcoming people you could imagine – they made us feel at home from the very first moment. We would definitely come back without hesitation. Thank you Minos Palace and see you again!

Featuring a garden, a restaurant as well as a bar, Elysia Boutique Hotel is located in the centre of Chania Town, 1 km from Koum Kapi Beach. This 5-star hotel offers a concierge service and a tour desk. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. I absolutely loved this place: the design, the people, the breakfast, everything!! I usually go to “small luxury hotel (SLH)” and this hotel can certainly be one of them! All the small attention to details (welcome drinks, bag for the beach, etc) made us feel like “privileged”!! I strongly recommend this hotel +++
