Beautiful location, clean and with a fantastic service minded staff.
Fantastic location! It's a pretty quiet place, which was perfect for us. The hotel has excellent staff that are service-minded and always helpful and an excellent restaurant with affordable prices. It's great possibilities to get around to both Platanias, Gerani and off course Chania for those who wants more noise.
The rooms are nice and clean with big sizes. The garden areas are beautiful and well groomed. Always available sunbeds, both in the beach and around the pool. The beach has sand, and some places near with pebbles, which makes it perfect for both swimming and snorkeling.
Even though there weren't to many kids of our daughters age, we found plenty of kids her age in the hotels nearby.
We had a super vacation

Well worth staying here!
A lovely friendly family run hotel, we were delayed flying into Crete which put us at the hotel at passed midnight! As it’s a small business the reception was closed BUT we had a lovely notice left on the door telling us which room we’re in and to just see them in the morning when we were ready. Inside the room had been left stuffed peppers for us to eat! Which absolutely fantastic as we were indeed starving! In the morning we headed for breakfast which overlooked the beach again blown away The whole of the stay stayed at this level fantastic hotel, brilliant and happy staff, what else do you want!!!

Quite good but not perfect
The staff is the biggest advantages about possible competitor. Thea is a great Manager (not sure what her real funktion is) Katherinas Foodis fantastic. These analysiert all the other guys are doing a fine job giving the guest the "welcome" feeling . The location of the facility is quite good and you get the silence you need. The house is pretty well maintained and the public facilitys are clean ( better than the average here on Crete) . Why not perfect ? When you pay 150 Euro per night you have some expectations.These are not to pay separate for vinegar and oil at the restauant, paying for sunbeds at the beach ( Hotel owned) seems strange. A second aircondition a the childrens sleeping room was missed. The Information Hotel - Guest via Paper or Computer isnt too good. In fact these are not to much things but they sum up.

Staying in Caretta Beach Hotel was an experiance of great and amazing nature at the amazing location by the sea, unusual kindness and hospitality, huge and very comfortable double beds , great view from terrace and sound of the see, tasty breakfast served will stay with us for long !!!!!!!
thank you for that!! Wonderfull!!!!!!
Amazing stay at this hotel
Great hotel apartments right on the beach with excellent pool and pool bar. Rooms are big and cleaned daily and all the staff were very helpful and friendly! The breakfast was excellent with a daily selection of home made cakes and jams among many many other things. The hotel is literally right on the beach- the beach is slightly pebbly but it was very relaxing to spend time there. Alternatively if you want to travel around the island I would recommend hiring a car. Chania centre is about 30 minutes drive and there are some great beaches also within 40 minutes drive from the hotel. We really enjoyed our stay at Caretta beach hotel-couldn’t have asked for better !! Everything was super excellent and a particular thank you to Thea who really looked after us! Ps we traveled with a 9 months old baby and the hotel made sure we had everything we needed for the baby as well. Many thanks caretta beach- we will back again!
