This elegant hotel is an ideal place for couples or families with children who wish to spend a holiday in luxurious surroundings.
We had a wonderful week at the Stunning Cavo Spada. Alice calmly and expertly dealt with our situation when we arrived from Sister hotel Santa Marina beach where we were supposed to stay but it was overbooked. We arrived v disappointed but Alice and colleague Viktoria soon made us feel at ease. all the staff were amazing. They really are customer focused and deliver a wonderful experience. Katarina at the Spa gave a wonderful pedicure. The food is great, as are the activities but the staff and hospitality is first class. Thank you all The Cavo Spada. 🙏 Till next time 💫
We’ve just returned from a wonderful week at The Cavo Spada Spa resort. We should have stayed at their sister hotel at Santa Marina Beach resort but were upgraded due to a problem with our room. We were a bit wary when told this but once we arrived and saw how fabulous the resort was we counted our blessings! It is the cleanest, friendliest place we’ve ever stayed abroad. We went for a relaxing week and that’s exactly what we got. I had an amazing shoulder back, neck and leg massage at the spa, one of the best I’ve had. The food is excellent and great choice of drinks too. We ate at the Sea Line restaurant for 2 themed nights ( fish and Italian) both very well organised and were well looked after yet again ! We had a huge balcony overlooking the sea with 2 luxurious sun beds and 2 chairs plenty room for all. Happy to see the little stray cats and kittens are treated well😉. I can’t rate the staff highly enough and also the staff at The Santa Marina Hotel who really looked after us throughout our stay. Thank you to both for making our week in Crete an absolutely lovely one👏👏👏
We came to this hotel in June as a party of 7 and had a fantastic time. The hotel was clean and tidy. The food was very good and very tasty, it was a bit samey but as it was good we didn’t mind. The cocktails were handmade and so good, all served in nice plastic cups by the pool or glass inside. The beach was ok, definitely take beach shoes as it is a pebble beach. The staff were all very helpful especially on reception. We hired a car for a day through the hotel and the transaction was so easy and no bother at all. There is a bus stop at the top of the road and the reception team explained where it was and had a board with the bus times on. All in all a wonderful stay. Highly recommend
Nice hotel, not crowded. The most friendly staff I have ever met in the hotel, open, supportive and willing to help in all matters. The room was clean, spacious, with big terrace and beautiful sea view. Rocky but Blue Flag and clean beach, plenty of sun beds. Big swimming pool. Well equipped gym. Tasty Greek and international cuisine. For those renting cars, free parking on site. All that made our stay perfect.
Superb hotel with superb staff. 2nd time here. The management & staff work together as a team, loyal long serving staff. Location is a super quiet by the sea. Food & drink all excellent. Credit is due to hotel manager for making this a superb hotel along with all the staff. Will be returning in 2027. Many thanks again
