On the beach itself. Sea View. Exceptional staff, with attitude and attention to guests. Very clean. The center is a minute's walk away. Very quiet and cozy hotel. We arrived by bus much earlier at 10.30am. As soon as there was a free room, they accommodated us immediately without making us wait until 2:00 p.m. I would gladly return to this hotel. Really professional and above all friendly and humane attitude towards hotel guests.

We had a really enjoyable stay at Sitia Bay. The hotel is in a nice quiet, sea-front location at the edge of the town, but everything is easily reachable on foot within minutes. The rooms were comfortable, the breakfast was delicious & the pool was a good size. We would definitely recommend it.

We couldn’t find anything to dislike.

Everything. What a great hotel. Eric, the owner, was so helpful. The staff were very friendly and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. The place was spotlessly clean. Our room, number 12, was one of the suites, and was spacious and well equipped. The beach is right across the road from the hotel. They have their own sun beds, cost 3 euros a day or free if you buy a drink. The pool was very inviting. The beds were very comfortable. The effective sound proofing meant no noise apart from the sussuration of the waves. We slept really well. The showers are great too. The hotel is ideally placed, a few minutes walk to some great restaurants and bars, but far enough away to be quiet at night. Eric's recommendations for eating and places to visit were great. We haven't stayed anywhere we enjoyed as much as Sitia Bay for a long time. We would love to return.

We cannot think of a single thing that could be improved.

The apartment has everything you may need (stove, fridge, freezer, toaster, tea and coffee maker, oven, kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, cups, cutlery, etc), very clean and comfortable, and it is very well located in Sitia itself and in the area to reach other beaches and places to visit. The olive oil shampoo and shower gel felt like being in a spa. The air conditioner worked perfectly fine. The balcony had nice views to the beach with nice tables and chairs to have breakfast. The pool was very nice with sun beds and tables and chairs. Eric and his mother were very attentive, gave us incredible tips on restaurants and beaches, and other nice locations to visit according to our plans and needs. There are not many places left with such care for details and hospitality, it felt like being at home with family!

Nothing at all. We would have stayed longer if we could

Great location, short walk to Sitia's bars and restaurants. A nice balcony with a lovely view over the bay and side view towards Sitia. A beach across the road and a very nice pool area. We used the apartment as a hotel room eating out both at lunch time and in the evening. The apartment was cleaned every day. The family hosts were very friendly and helpful. Great value for money.

If self catering for any length of time, I would think the room and galley kitchen would be on the small size.

The room was spatious for 3 people, the bathroom also fine. All was very clean. We did not use the kitchenette for cooking, we ate the breakfast and lunch at the pool and in the evening we went at the Sitia restaurants. The food is very good everywhere in Sitia with good prices. The ambiance is nice in the hotel and the owners very friendly and helpful. The pool is very nice to have during the day or evening (till 20.00) as one comes back from the beach. We will definitely come back to this hotel. Thank you to the owners.

Everything was fine.

Sitia Bay can not be faulted in any way. Exceptionally clean, beautifully presented. Owner run and managed and taking great pride in what they offer. Friendly helpful staff. Delicious breakfast and snax offering. Serviced beach beds as well as an immaculate pool area. So many added extras in the rooms which have full self catering facilities with high quality fitments. It is the best place to stay in Sitia for a wonderful break. Book early so you are not disappointed.

Nothing at all

The hotel is located directly in front of the local beach, few minutes walking from restaurants and also on the main road to Vai palm forest. Staff were really kind and helpful - room clean and spacious. Hotel is well maintained (e.g pool) and price was reasonable for time of visit (August 2023). The sea view balcony was amazing.

Great location Clean Very well facilitate including kitchen. Eric the manager is extremely nice and very helpful, gave us lots of information and recommendations about what to do in the area. There is a private parking. The pool is great and very clean and calm. Amazing see view balcony. Baby safe.

We would have preferred double bed instead of two single beds attached together - but this is not really matters.

Wonderful family-run property sited practically on the beach. Everything here has been thought through to the last detail - from the well-equipped and very comfy rooms to the superbly maintained pool. Definitely the most relaxing and comfortable three nights that we spent in Crete.
