Lovely hotel! The staff are wonderful, the rooms are clean, and the location is great. Very close to town Center and the very popular, Voulisma Beach. Hotel beach was good too but it is a pebble beach. Sandy beach is a 5-10min walk away.

Naiades Boutique Beach Hotel is finished to good taste and a high standard, and we really enjoyed our time here in September 24. We loved the quiet and relaxing setting, and dining and sunbed area set on a private beach front. It's perfect for getting away from everything, and a few km from Plaka and Elounda in either direction. The breakfasts were amazing as were the staff who couldn't do enough for us. In particular Eirini went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and special. We'll be back one day !

9.4/10 Exceptional! (234 reviews)
This hotel, like many others marked as “VIP Access,” offers no real benefits. Despite clear upgrade availability the night before check-in, we were told nothing was available once we mentioned VIP status—a recurring pattern where upgrades are consistently denied using vague excuses. If a non-VIP guest wanted to pay, I’m certain a room would have been available. There was no recognition, no perk, no welcome amenity—nothing. Even after raising the issue with guest relations, no effort was made to address it. Additionally, the advertised valet parking doesn’t exist and isn’t needed—it’s just misleading. This feels more like a marketing trick than a real program. I strongly urge you to review and remove this hotel from the VIP Access list.

"It's a unique place. You've got to be the type of person that doesn't judge on face value to enjoy it. I really liked it. There's definitely some characters there. Badly needs a refurb but if it had one it would be busier and less enjoyable in other ways. Take it as you find it and don't judge too ..."
