I had never been to Crete before and don't normally holiday in Europe but I was looking forward to a short haul break so we took a chance on this resort. Our pre-booked transfer was smooth and the arrival was flawless. We had been upgraded to a One bed sea view suite which had two lovely balconies and a jacuzzi... more

My husband and I stayed at the hotel mid-end September. Overall, I really enjoyed the hotel, particularly the friendly staff. However, there were a few things I wanted to pass on: We boked a deluxe seaview junior suite which I found disappointing as we had been promised a seperate seating area which basically did not exist. I would probably not... more

Our first experience of the St Nicolas Bay Resort and discovered it to be an oasis of ultimate relaxation. Service was excellent with charming and obliging staff. Restaurants, either table d'hote or a la carte offered plenty of variety and the size of the complex meant that you were always made to feel you were going out to dine without... more

This was our third stay in what has become our favourite hotel in Crete. The Aghios Nicolaos-Elounda area has a plethora of excellent, luxurious hotels but, somehow, we like the St Nicolas Bay Resort best. It is not cheap but having an executive suite with private pool is quite an experience. Beautiful bedroom, good bathroom, fabulous separate walk-in shower room,... more

Once again, we spent a magical 10 days at St Nicolas Bay. Perfect for quiet, peaceful and luxurious experience. Our 2 year old was in heaven. Perfect balance of sea and great pools. Our room was wonderful. This hotel gets better from one year to the next! We hope to come back for another break soon. Max Lawrence London more

We stayed at this hotel at the end of June 2008 for a week and it was for us a lifetime experience. Despite some initial worries after reading this website, I have to say that this hotel surpassed by far my expectations. It was in a great location, far enough away from the centre of Ag Nik to be secluded,... more

Just returned from this holiday. Stayed 1 week. Probably the best hotel in Crete. From the minute my wife and I arrived to the minute we left, was one of the best holidays we have had,anywhere. This includes The Moon Palace in Cancun. The staff were first class, as was the room. Best of all is the location. Over looking... more

This was without doubt a fabulous family holiday. The facilities were excellent for the whole family, the staff though are the jewel in this hotels crown.
