Galaxy Villas

TripAdvisor Review
Greece, Europe
Crete

The traditionally quaint village of Koutouloufari, located at the mountain's foot but only a short stroll from the beach and bustling Hersonissos, is a haven of tranquility and old-time Crete.

Since our beginning, at the Galaxy Villas we have always strived to offer our guests a warm, original and relaxing vacation experience in this charming location.

We cater to families, couples and the discerning solo traveler anticipating every need with a warm smile and the renowned Cretan hospitality spirit.

The Galaxy Villas is tastefully built in the Greek island-style architecture, utilizing quality natural materials. We ensured that all villas enjoy beautiful, serene views of the ocean, the mountains and our gardens. The hotel's landscape features well groomed but home-style Cretan plants and flowers as well as organically grown olive trees and even our own organic vegetable and fruit garden in the picnic area! Of course we'll share our produce with you!

If you want to experience a relaxing Cretan vacation, in a convenient, quaint location, excellent value for money and warm service with a smile, the Galaxy Villas is the ideal choice!

ENJOY THE TRUE FLAVOR OF CRETE!

Lovely Hotel in a Beautiful Village

We stayed for 7 nights in early September and had a lovely stay. We were in a spacious partial sea-view room (Room 54), which was huge and very comfortable. We particularly liked having a separate bedroom, lounge area and bathroom, as well as a good-sized balcony.

Housekeeping were prompt each day and always left the room lovely and clean. The room was well equipped with fresh towels and flannels, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, bottled water, bathrobes and even a clothes steamer.

We stayed on a bed-and-breakfast basis and really enjoyed the breakfast. There was plenty of choice, with both hot and cold options, and we especially enjoyed having iced coffees in the morning! A special mention to Stefanos, who was fantastic — he made an effort to remember guests’ names and their favourite coffee orders, which was such a nice touch.

We never had any trouble finding a sun lounger during our stay, although we would probably choose a room with its own loungers and hot tub next time. We did notice that some guests struggled to find loungers later in the day. It’s also worth noting that not all of the loungers get sun throughout the day, although plenty do.

Koutouloufari is a lovely little village with so many fantastic restaurants and bars within easy reach. We really enjoyed exploring the area and would definitely recommend both visiting Koutouloufari and staying at the hotel. We’d happily return!

Wonderful, spotless, relaxing

Positives: Beautiful, spotless, relaxing, Stephan a star in his own right, making everyone feel welcome- a charming young man, if he leaves he will be a massive loss to the place. Cleaners exceptional, they work extremely hard. Everyone here is so nice and truly friendly and helpful. Negatives: spirits far too, expensive, they need to be more competitive with other places. Breakfast not much choice for vegetarian s, would help with tomatoes, mushrooms etc, having said this, the chef made us a beautiful mushroom omelette every morning ( thank you so much) , more choice of food on the menu would be good Overall, we really enjoyed it and will be back at some point Thank you so much

Such a good hotel

Well what can I say but our stay was fantastic, can not rate this hotel high enough. We stayed bed and breakfast, this worked so well for us as there were so many great tavernas in walking distance. The breakfasts were amazing so many lovely foods to eat. All the staff are amazing and so helpful, special mention to Stefanos who went out of his way to remember your name and your coffee orders, he is a true credit to the hotel.

The pool is lovely and we never struggled to get a sun bed. We had a garden view suite and that worked so well for us it gave us a bedroom, sitting area and a bathroom.

I am sure we will be back as we loved our stay.

TripAdvisor Review
Amazing!

Beautiful boutique hotel very tranquil environment. Modern Spacious, well equipped rooms. We had a sea view suit no47. Our room was ground level so flat levels and my mum & dads room was above no44, and was a staggered level so a few stairs. Our room had two balcony's one from the living room and one from the bedroom. The living room balcony has a view of other private pools and the sea. There is a coffee machine and you can just have hot water for tea too. There is a fridge and on arrival we had cakes, chocolates and a bottle of prosecco waiting for us all free. Water is replenished every day and there are dressing gowns and slippers, an iron steamer, safe and hair dryer that plugs in anywhere and is very good. I wouldn’t take one next time. The rooms are cleaned, beds are made and towels are replaced with fresh good quality towels every day, the maids are lovely. The hotel again is very clean and modern with three pools, one shallow pool, a middle sized pool for a dip and a bigger pool which was a nice size for a swim. There are steps but there are lifts too. The pool beds are modern luxury beds and there is a button on the parasol for waiter service, and a waiter comes round once a day with hors d'oeuvres. The pool beds can be reserved whilst you’re having breakfast but you can’t leave your towels down all day unattended as there is a 30 minute time allowance and if the towels are still down they’ll be removed. But there was only one day where we had to wait for a bed, we had breakfast late, 10am and there was no beds I think the idea is if you have a private pool or whirl pool you’ll stay on your terrace as there are roughly 30 beds round the pools and 57 rooms…. But no one is expected to do that I just assume that was the idea. Towels were left longer than 30 mins on the day we waited… The restaurant has indoor and outdoor under cover seating with a lovely view. The breakfast buffet is very nice with a nice range of breads, spreads, continental option, yoghurts, jams, pastries, hot food and juices. The waiters will serve you your drinks for breakfast. The staff are so lovely here all of them are so polite so helpful and very professional. Stefanos will make you feel very at home. We also had lunch from the menu which was very nice and we had drinks in the bar, the Femina white wine is lovely and you can pay or charge the bill to your room. I would stay at Galaxy again in a heart beat it is a stunning hotel and the staff are wonderful. We arrived late, 11pm and had slept on the plane so was quite hungry. There is a sports bar next door for food and drinks and the cook had stopped as it was 12pm when we got there but they was happy to make pizza’s or gyros, we then went on to the half note for a drink which we ended up in there as our last stop every night best bar in Koutouloufari, we ate in there a couple of times too, the food was really good. We can’t wait to return to Crete.
