What a fantastic stay! This hotel is right by the beach, offering a peaceful atmosphere for unwinding, and the owners truly make you feel at home with their warm hospitality. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, while the beachfront location is perfect for enjoying the beautiful Cretan coast. However, the dining options could be expanded slightly to enhance the overall experience, especially for breakfast. Nevertheless, it's a great value for money!

Our stay at Aptera Beach was truly delightful! With a beautiful beachfront location, we loved waking up each morning just steps away from the sand. The spacious room provided us with an excellent view of Ammoudara beach, though a few updates could enhance the overall comfort. The service was exceptional, especially from Christos, who made us feel welcomed and went the extra mile to assist us during our stay. The dining experience was highlighted by fresh, locally sourced food, but the breakfast selections could be more extensive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience at a charming spot.
