Beautiful, spacious and well-appointed room. The common areas were comfortable and there was a lovely balcony. The breakfast which was beautifully served on the balcony was beyond compare. Local, fresh, and delicious Cretan treats. Archanes is close to Heraklion and the palace of Knossos and had plenty of dining options. We were in Greece for three weeks and our night at Carpe Diem was probably our best stay. Can’t recommend highly enough. ##### Marion Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annie 31 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Annie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Minos Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Minos-Hotel.h8011612.Hotel-Information) > > [Begeti Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Begeti-Bay.h10295324.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Ambassador - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Minos-Ambassador.h45826210.Hotel-Information) > > [Veneziano Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heraklion-Hotels-Veneziano-Boutique-Hotel.h18108299.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiramis Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Semiramis-Village.h10623973.Hotel-Information) > > [Macaris Suites and SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Macaris-Suites-And-SPA.h1099883.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Porto Rethymno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Aquila-Porto-Rethymno.h1636850.Hotel-Information) > > [Enorme Santanna Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ierapetra-Hotels-Enorme-Santanna-Beach.h44438252.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Atlantis Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heraklion-Hotels-Aquila-Atlantis-Hotel.h67282.Hotel-Information) > > [Free Breakfast at villa with Outdoor & Indoor Pool, Hot Tub, Home Cinema](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Free-Breakfast-At-Villa-With-Outdoor-Indoor-Pool.h27558930.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiani Beach Resort Family](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Kiani-Beach-Resort-Family-All-Inclusive.h3998357.Hotel-Information) > > [Arminda Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Arminda-Hotel-Spa.h10630918.Hotel-Information) > > [Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Nana-Princess-Suites.h19806167.Hotel-Information) > > [Crete Golf Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Crete-Golf-Club-Hotel.h22748806.Hotel-Information) > > [Koni Village Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Koni-Village-All-Inclusive.h8415383.Hotel-Information) > > [Apollonia Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Apollonia-Beach-Resort-Spa.h1522111.Hotel-Information) > > [Amirandes, A Grecotel Resort to Live](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Amirandes-Grecotel-Boutique-Resort.h1862564.Hotel-Information) > > [Bio Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Bio-Suites-Hotel.h1522055.Hotel-Information) > > [Sitia Beach City Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sitia-Hotels-Sitia-Beach-City-Resort-Spa.h1674729.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Atlantis-Beach-Hotel.h12465368.Hotel-Information) > > [Moonlight Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Moonlight-Hotel.h19477661.Hotel-Information) > > [Anastasia Hotel Stalis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Anastasia-Hotel-Stalis.h1368515.Hotel-Information) > > [The City Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-The-City-Hotel-Suites.h36768747.Hotel-Information) > > [Theartemis Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Theartemis-Palace.h2336425.Hotel-Information) > > [Petra Mare - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ierapetra-Hotels-Petra-Mare-All-Inclusive.h2144254.Hotel-Information) > > [Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort Crete, Curio Collection Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ierapetra-Hotels-NUMO-Ierapetra-Beach-Resort.h7782201.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Heights Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Village-Heights-Resort.h14931312.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Domes-Zeen-Chania.h25749963.Hotel-Information) > > [Ikones Seafront Luxury Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Ikones-Seafront-Luxury-Suites-Adults-Only.h31709128.Hotel-Information) > > [Thalassa Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Thalassa-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h22137467.Hotel-Information)
