We did enjoy our stay at Golden Bay. The apt was nice. There were a couple issues that would have made the stay nicer...One of the doors to the patio had only one hinge, so it couldn't safely be used. It should have had a sign on it for safety. That door also didn't have blackout curtains and make it hard for the kids to sleep because of the lights on the property all night. Didn't tell me until the last night. I thought it was just the sun in the morning. It would have been really nice if there had been dish soap and dish towels for the kitchen area. We did use the kitchen. It worked fine. The pool area is nice, and the loungers have the best cushions, but so limited and not enough shade. At the beach you pay 10 Euro for 2 loungers and an “umbrella". We went out to try one morning, but all were already taken. We didn't try again. Food at the restaurant was good but took a while and sometime took a while to be recognized by staff to order if not sitting in the restaurant. They do work long hours and are pretty busy. Water is less expensive if you take away. We got lucky with parking. It wasn't too bad during the week, but weekends can be harder to get a spot. It is a public lot for the beach. Other restaurants and grocery in walking distance.

Evagelia and Olga were absolutely amazing, they were happy to answer any questions we had and assist with everything. They are the face of this accommodation and should be commended for the excellent work they do and go that extra mile with a smile on their face. The property is in an awesome location and if i was to return, i would be definitely going back, the view and location is to die for. Clean and comfortable accommodation, loved everything about our stay. We will miss the two lovely ladies, you made our stay that one level better, thank you

This hotel must have been good at some point, but it feels like it's running on fumes now. I heard a staff member say there are doubts as to whether they will be operating next year. The not so good: We arrived to trash in the walkway to our room, which wasn't cleaned until after stray cats had had their way with it overnight, and we had to report it to front desk. Information on cleaning schedule was shared incorrectly. We only found our later that towel service was every second day, so dirty towels left on the floor were picked up but not replaced on alternate days. The room floor was also covered in sand on our arrival. I understand it's a beach front property and some sand is bound to get into rooms, but I would have assumed it would get cleaned, at least when there is a turnaround in guests in each room. The positives: Location and the beach in front of the hotel are great. There's easy access to Chania, and also attraction further west. Hotel staff were generally helpful and polite. The restaurant at the hotel is quite good.

This was a great value for a family. The room we had was great, although we had issues with the A/C but not the end of the world since the weather was not extremely hot. Pool area was lovely. Would have been nice to have an iron in the room but instead we hung what we needed to get creases out on the patio and the humidity and air naturally straightened it out. The restaurant was excellent, the service was exceptional there and the staff so pleasant despite that you can see they work very long days. The beach is lovely and lots of nearby areas to walk and eat. Was unimpressed when the hotel staff on day three started to ask guests for $10 euro each to use the sun beds which was stated no where (they only asked when it was sunny!) . That really put us off, we didn’t pay and laid on the sand instead. Overall though a great stay, room worked well for a family.

Had a really amazing holiday here, great location on the beach and always had available beds around the pool when we went. The staff were really friendly and plenty of restaurants around the hotel within walking distance. Reception were more than happy to book taxis for us to get to the old town which was lovely to visit for food, boat trips and a couple of museums on the cloudier days.

The hotel offers everything listed and more!! The views from the hotel's beach are amazing!! The staff are very kind and accommodating. The restaurant is delicious, there's plenty of variety for breakfast, and the cocktails are great! The room has many amenities, it's spotless and spacious. I booked an in-room massage service, and it was truly great and relaxing. Also, very convenient. One thing not mentioned online is that right under the hotel, by the beach, is a convenient store with a little bit of everything you'll need to relax at your stay. Lastly, if you take a walk around the area, there are plenty of nearby delicious restaurants that are worth a try.

Excellent suites on the beach
We really enjoyed our stay! The location is great. You can walk along the beach, there are many restaurants and it’s a short walk to the main road through town. We traveled with 2 adults and 2 children ages 10 and 12. The suite is set up with one bedroom and a living room with two couch beds. Each kid had their own bed. We also had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and the beach. Beach has chairs and umbrellas for a small fee. The restaurant serves great food and the service is amazing. I only had two small “complaints”. 1) the wifi in our room wasn’t great. However it was better at the pool and beach. 2) the room was a little tight on space for our family of 4. But we were off doing activities and swimming so it wasn’t that big of a deal. Overall, excellent stay and I highly recommend staying here!

Negative: - I booked for a standard apartment with sea view. Well, they gave me a room, with swimming pool view and very behind, if you went very outside the balcony you could see the sea a bit. When I talked to the receptionist about this, they assumed it wasn’t a good room but they said they couldn’t do anything as the hotel was fully booked. After insisting and speaking to them for about 30 min they offered me to come back the day after as they were going to have another room with a better view of the sea. They also offered an upgrade to a higher category and sea view room BUT with an additional fee per night, which was supposed to be free because this was a VIP hotel. - The room should be described as “partially sea view” which would be more accurate, because it’s very far from the sea and the view is partially. - Wifi it’s terrible and they said it’s because wifi is only available in common spaces, not in rooms. - there were ants on the kitchen table and the floors, and I didn’t have food at all. POSITIVE: - Location is good, a lot of restaurants and shops near the hotel - it has its own beach - the restaurant is one of the best things at this hotel. Good food quality and nice people! - The proper sea view room was very nice, except for the ants!

Our visit at Golden Bay was perfect. The room was clean and had a huge balcony with excellent views of the bay. There was a great pool for the kids with plenty of pool floats and toys to borrow.

The hotel is basically an old Air Force barracks, and they’ve made very little improvements or changes to the rooms. The lobby was fresh and nice , but the rooms were stale and dated.
