Top Agia Pelagia Hotel Reviews

Seaside A Lifestyle Resort All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best experience I’ve had! The property was amazing on top of the view to the beach. But most importantly the staff was AMAZING! Looking forward to seeing them again."

Out Of The Blue All Inclusive Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

" We had a really lovely stay at Out of the Blue Hotel in Crete. The location is absolutely wonderful — surrounded by beautiful beaches and stunning views. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade on arrival, which made our stay even better. The reception and restaurant staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly — they really made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The only downside, and the reason for giving 4 instead of 5 stars, was the limited variety of meat options in the main restaurant. It would have been nice to have a bit more choice, especially towards the end of the season. We were also disappointed that we couldn’t get even one night at the à la carte restaurant, especially since the hotel was nearly closing for the season in late October. When we gave our feedback, the guest relations lady didn’t take it very well and rather bluntly mentioned that no other guests had complained about the limited meat options — we felt this was a bit rude and dismissive. Overall though, it’s a beautiful resort in a fantastic location with great staff. "

Athina Palace Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"The hotel looks very nice from the outside and also in the pictures. The view is simply stunning and truly impressive. Unfortunately, the location is a bit inconvenient – there are no tavernas or attractions around. Although it is presented as a five-star hotel, in our opinion it is more like a 3.5-star standard. The food was often cold, very monotonous, and with little variety. There was no live cooking, not even at breakfast. The all-inclusive drinks were quite average, as expected, but the paid drinks at the bar were excellent – some of the best I have ever had. This hotel is not the right choice for people who want to explore Crete. It is rather for those who just want to pay for an all-inclusive stay, relax at the hotel, and do nothing else. The cleaning service was poor, and the sunbeds on the beach were dirty – something unacceptable for a five-star hotel. Everything seems like more as quantity rather then quality. On a positive note, Irina at the reception was absolutely fantastic and made our stay really enjoyable in terms of entertainment. Also, Maria at breakfast was very friendly and left us with a great impression. Overall, the hotel left us with a disappointing impression, and we definitely would not book it again. "

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Agia Pelagia cost?

Prices for beach hotels in Agia Pelagia vary, but you can find a great deal from £49 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Which area of Agia Pelagia is best to stay in for beaches?

For direct beach access and a relaxed seaside holiday, the best areas to stay in Agia Pelagia are along the main Agia Pelagia Beach and the nearby Lygaria Beach.

Agia Pelagia Beach is the main hub of the resort. It's a long, sheltered cove with calm, clear waters, lined with a promenade featuring tavernas and cafes right on the sand. The beach itself is a mix of sand and fine pebbles, and the water is shallow, making it superb for swimming and sunbathing. You'll find most of the resort's facilities clustered around here.

Couples looking for a quiet beach experience might prefer Lygaria Beach, just a short drive or a pleasant walk over the headland from Agia Pelagia. This crescent-shaped bay is generally less crowded than the main beach and offers a more secluded feel with equally clear waters. There are a few tavernas and a small selection of accommodations directly overlooking the bay.

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Agia Pelagia?

The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Agia Pelagia is during the summer months, particularly from July to August. During this period, the weather is consistently hot and sunny, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C, creating ideal conditions for beach activities and swimming in the clear Aegean Sea.

The warm temperatures make it great for spending long days on the beach, enjoying water sports, or dining al fresco with stunning sea views. All beachside amenities and excursions are fully operational, offering convenience and a wide array of choices for a relaxing holiday. For families, this is a prime time as the calm waters and dedicated beach facilities are in full swing, ensuring a fun and comfortable experience.

For those who appreciate slightly milder weather and a more tranquil atmosphere, May presents a wonderful alternative. While still very pleasant, with temperatures typically between 20°C and 25°C, you may find better value on luxury beachfront accommodations and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants.

How can I save on a beach hotel in Agia Pelagia with Expedia?

One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Agia Pelagia beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.

*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.

What beach activities should we do in Agia Pelagia?

In Agia Pelagia, the best beach activities centre around its main bay and the smaller coves nearby, offering both organised fun and opportunities for quiet relaxation.

For those who enjoy organised beach activities, the main beach in Agia Pelagia is an excellent spot. Here, you'll find options for parasailing, jet skiing, and paddleboarding. Many visitors also enjoy boat trips that depart from this bay, often taking you to explore nearby coves and offering chances for swimming and snorkelling in the clear waters. The main beach is also well-equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, making it convenient for a full day by the sea.

If you're seeking a more tranquil beach experience, particularly for couples, the smaller, less crowded coves like Lygaria and Mononaftis are ideal. Lygaria, just east of Agia Pelagia, offers a peaceful pebble beach with calm waters superb for swimming and snorkelling. Mononaftis, to the west, is another lovely option, known for its clear waters and a more relaxed atmosphere, though it still has some facilities like sunbeds and a few tavernas.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Agia Pelagia as a package?

Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Agia Pelagia for you.
