Very nice place! Excellent value. Some wear around the edges, but well cared for and great service. Room was very comfortable and clean. Pool and public areas were good. Breakfast bar was delicious with many options. Close walk to beach and main town area, but far enough away to avoid the crowd if you wanted. Great value for the price!

This is a small village on the sea with friendly people and not so crowded with tourists as some other places on the island. There are Minoan ruins and good hiking trails nearby.

Very friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Great breakfast and was very impressed that the cook said she would have catered more for vegans had she known that we required that. Only drawback is that rooms with seaview are opposite the local rubbish and recycling collection which happens about 7.30 every morning.

Sound matters
Mirtos is probably my favourite village in Crete providing a fantastic balance of beach, tavernas/nightlife, scenery and walking. The fact that Esperides is in this village makes it an attractive and good value choice with friendly staff, great location, swimming pool etc.. However, the sound levels experienced in the rooms severely detract from it's location advantage. The walls and doors/windows are very poorly soudproofed. Noise from barking dogs, traffic, inconsiderate guests and internal machinery/services penetrate the room 24hrs a day making it very difficult to sleep at all. Would not recommend this hotel unless you are an insomniac or deaf.
Response from General Manager on 24 Nov 2016
Dear guest, thank you for your feedback. In behalf of Pantelakis family and all the personnel I deeply apologize for your inconvenience, I am sorry though you did not share your views on the reception desk so that we can apologize in person and make your accommodation more enjoyable. Esperides Hotel is located just out of the village at 250meters distance from the beach. There are 24 double rooms with sea view and around 24 more with mountain view. I supposed you chose a sea view. Sea view is the side of the traffic which depends on the period and sometimes I understand it may be irritating for some guests, although this year we did not met any serious problems. Although, Ii you had noticed us in time about your unpleasant experience, we would have advised you a mountain view room which at more quiet, without any other sounds but those of the nature. Based on your experience, you should already have been aware that all large and some smaller accommodation places in Myrtos village are located nearby either busy roads or crowded places, so it is hard for me to understand fully your last piece of advise. Thank you for sharing your reviews with us. We wish you all the best and hope to give us the chance on your next travel to Myrtos to prove that your last experience was nothing but an uncertain event. On behalf of the Pantelakis Family and Esperides Hotel Team, Lefteris Pantelakis

Lovely relaxing holiday
We just came back from a 2 weeks holiday and we can honestly say that we had a fantastic time. The location of the hotel is perfect as it's very close to the sea, tavernas and all the amenities that you need. It's a family run hotel with excellent service. All of the staff are helpful, polite and they can't do enough to make you feel welcome. Thank you all for a lovely relaxing holiday.

Myrtos is lovely - this hotel was handy to beach, town, walks - staff/owners were very nice - food was great - good spot for families and couples (if you are looking for Malia you are on the wrong side of the island) Very highly recommended, hope to return next year.

Cole water
Was Good for the price but the water Was Cold and they didn'tfix
Thank you very much for you comments, they really do help us become better. The water might be cold at times when the weather is cold because in the hotel we based at sunheaters. There is always an alternative of electrical boilers at cloudy days and that propably was your case. The ONLY way the water is cold is that of a failure or the personnel forgot or did not notice, and did not turn the heater on. Anyway, we apologize for the inconvenience and we wish you all the best for the rest for the season.

Awesome location
Our stay at Hotel Esperides was great. It is a family run hotel which has really everything you need, and the greatest service. Once we arrived and checked in, we asked the gentleman at the front desk if there was a laundry facility near the town, he proceeded to ask his mother who offered to wash our one month worth of washing for two people herself. She even returned the clothes all neatly folded and dress shirts on hangers! Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful. There is a continental breakfast in the morning which also included hard boiled eggs, cold-cuts and cheese which is great. There is a fully stocked bar near the reception as well as a pool bar, there is even an espresso machine! They do not have a restaurant, however they can make you sandwiches (which are called toast "tost") as well as an assortment of sodas, juices and waters and 3 flavors of ice creams (chocolate,strawberry,vanilla). The rooms are cleaned daily which is fantastic, the rooms also have a fridge which is extremely convenient for all the cold water you will need to consume and maybe some left overs. The bathrooms are a decent size. All in all, our stay at Esperides was great, welcoming and in a convenient location close to the town of Myrtos and only a 10 minute drive from the large town of Ierapetra! AMAZING!

Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Das Hotel ist sehr einfach und die Einrichtung veraltet. Mit wenig Aufwand könnte man die Zimmer aufwerten wie z.B. ein neuer Duschvorhang oder ein neuer Toilettendeckel. Das sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Personal (Familienbetrieb), die Sauberkeit und der günstige Zimmerpreis machten es für uns jedoch wieder wett. Da wir immer in den verschiedenen Tavernen direkt am Strand gegessen haben, können wir zum Hotelessen keine Bewertung abgeben. Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt, in wenigen Gehminuten ist man mitten im wunderschönen Dörfchen, bei den Tavernen und am Strand. Ein anderes Mal würden wir ein Zimmer auf der Rückseite des Hotels buchen, da es auf der Strassenseite am Morgen etwas laut zugehen kann, vor allem dann, wenn alle 2-3 Tage die Müllcontainer auf der gegenüberliegenden Strassenseite geleert werden. Myrtos ist der Hammer! Auch bei vollen Hotels und Appartements sind die Tavernen und der Strand nicht überlaufen. Es herrscht eine gemütliche Betriebsamkeit in noch ursprünglich kretischem Ambiente. Uns hat der Aufenthalt in Myrtos und im Hotel Esperides sehr gut gefallen, wir kommen wieder!
