The room was supposed to have a sea view & we had to contact reception 3 times for a switch to the correct room. The rooms were very clean and the staff were very helpful. There's a few things that might leave me wonder where the 5th star is coming from but on the whole a nice hotel

I absolutely loved my stay at The Island hotel and would recommend anyone to book! The hotel was large but extremely well maintained, the staff were lovely and breakfast included such an array of tasty food. Incredibly clean and I felt very safe as a solo female traveller. The pools were fantastic and I easily spent hours there! Such a treat and I would love to return some day. Thank you to all the staff!

We have just returned from our fabulous holiday! Really enjoyed it - hotel was brilliant and we can’t wait to go again next year! Food was good, facial at the spa was great and no problem getting a sun bed by the pool. In our opinion there was not enough bar staff as sometimes slow to get a drink but everything else was superb!

Truly a 5 star hotel

What an amazing hotel this was, booked two rooms with a sharing pool and they were amazing, I called the hotel to see if they could make sure we got rooms next to each other, they sorted that for us, what a treat to have our own pool. The breakfast was great, loads of choice. The spa was wonderful, had a salt scrub and olive oil massage, very relaxing indeed! All in all we had an amazing stay! Thank you The Island Hotel you were great!

Amazing hotel

Amazing hotel, cannot emphasize this enough. Amazing pools, amazing breakfast, and the beach is literally right by the hotel, just cross the road and you’re there. There are restaurants by the hotel as well. Would recommend renting a car, a couple cities nearby, 15-60 minutes away by car. Didn’t understand if there was parking by the hotel at first, but you have to park in the street by the beach, plenty wide road for that, or in a gravel parking lot nearby.

If you're looking for a quiet, restful break, The Island is perfect. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. It felt safe, peaceful and the hotel is beautiful and kept in perfect condition. The only small critique is the gym equipment needs to be upgraded, but I wasn't upset about staying by the pool more.

Stunningly designed and very peaceful hotel that made our trip to Crete something really special. If you have the opportunity; book a suite because ours was absolutely beautiful and the feeling of having a pool on your terracce is everything.
