Family holiday

A great value hotel. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The pool area is fantastic, and the food available at the pool bar is home-cooked and delicious. Bedrooms are basic, but who spends much time in the bedroom on holiday anyway?! Only issue was the beds - mattresses are not comfy at all. But overall, a great holiday location that I would recommend.

It’s good but not the rooms

The area is amazing because it’s very nice, even the staff are nice. The ambiance is very well kept and nice. But our room is very out dated, like 90s still. In my opinion they need an upgrade to make the rooms level with the pool and the around area of the hotel. We stayed there just for one night before we go to the airport. But we didn’t sleep well every hour we wakes up because the bed is very uncomfortable and the pillows are very thin :/ Bathroom without Soaps, and no plugs on one side of the bed and there is a lamp but you can’t plug it in. But the bar area, the pool is amazing even the person at the bar is nice. The food is good as well.

Bad decision

Oh boy, where should I start. When we checked in the owner told us that AC is 7 euros per day, we had to agree so she would hand us the remote. Internet was so slow so don’t count on it. The room smelled, the bed was so uncomfortable, the hotel is situated on a hill, you have to drive through a maze for 15 min to find it and all locations around it almost 30 min away. The pictures advertised for the chairs on the sand near the beach does not exist. This place is basically money milking with no consideration for peoples comfort.

Friendly service, really nice swimming pool, great location. The only problem was that the beds (twin) were not too comfortable -- hard and lumpy. When checking out, we told the receptionist about the beds and she told us if we would have told them sooner, they would have put another mattress on top (whatever that means). But, all in all, we enjoyed our two-day stay.

Idyllic mountain retreat

The Areti is far more like a local family home than a hotel, located in an idyllic mountain village with great views of both the White Mountains and across the bay to the Akrotiri peninsula.The family provide a peaceful friendly environment for their guests. The property contains a large, well maintained and inviting swimming pool and the rooms are very clean and well equipped. The breakfast buffet sets you up for the day, filled with a good variety of healthy/tasty produce from the island. Cannot recommend the Areti highly enough and would be happy to stay here again without a second thought. Please note that a car is required to get the most out of the wonderful location. Rarely have I stayed in such a wonderful place. The family who own this lovely establishment really go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is a very relaxed feel about the place as a result. Perfect for those who crave a bit of peace and quiet. . The pool is a dominant feature and it is kept very clean. The rooms are bright and airy and are well equipped. The pictures which advertise the property really are a true reflection of this hidden gem! I

Fabulous hide-away!

We were absolutely blown away by the beauty of this hotel. It's perched towards the top of a mountain, giving a glorious view of the bay, as well as surrounding mountains. There are a lot of beautiful things to see, should you decide to venture away from the hotel. But if you'd like to be more of a homebody, there is plenty to be done right here. The pool is gorgeous. There's a lovely garden with paths to walk through. There's a little coffee counter (but be aware, it is not always staffed). In the morning, we had a delicious breakfast buffet of traditional Greek items. It was so reasonably priced and such a wonderful stay. Every time we come through Chania, we plan to stay here.

very relaxing stay at the Areti

I spent 5 days at the Areti and absolutely loved it. It's super quiet, hidden in the hills outside Chania (it's well signposted from the main road). The pool is huge and clean, people were very friendly and chatty. My room was on the ground floor with a view of the sea (13): large, comfortable, kitchen corner with dinner table and a balcony. The staff is very friendly and unobtrusive. This is excellent value for money and I highly recommend it!
