The service was absolutely incredible here! From the moment we arrived, upon check-in we were offered cool and refreshing water with lemon slices. We were then given a tour of the compound and taken to our private suite where complimentary champagne and greek treats were waiting. The pool and view were stunning, the food in the restaurant is some of the best quality we had in Crete - *tip get the tzatziki and ask for the chef's sweet treat of the day - the room was cleaned every day to an impeccable standard - and my standards are sky high as I'm slightly OCD. The cleanliness and reaponsiveness of the staff is some of the best I've ever encountered. The breakfast was bountiful and as well as your usual continental style breakfast you can order hot food options at the bar. The pool for the private suite is shockingly cool in the day time which is lovely if you've been out in the sun all day but it warms up upon sunset. Parking is fantastic, we rented a car and never failed to find a spot no matter what time we returned to the hotel after spending time out. Happy Cretan Suites was truly a 10/10 experience and we would definitely return! Thank you so much to all the stuff who made our stay so fantastic.

I’ve been to Greece many times before, but this hotel made this trip my favorite. Hotel is set in a beautiful surrounding overlooking the ocean, the two pool areas were amazing, with plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. Room was spacious, clean, and well appointed. Food, especially breakfast buffet, was delicious plentiful. All staff were kind and attentive the moment I walked in the door. The manager Dimitris even came to my room to deliver a very thoughtful parting gift the night before my departure. Would not hesitate to stay here again, 100% recommend, no complaints.

We spent 10 nights at Happy Cretan Suites in one of their stunning cave suites with a private pool, and it was a truly memorable experience. The suite was beautifully designed, offering a unique blend of luxury and natural charm, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The staff were absolutely lovely—warm, attentive, and always ready to help. They went out of their way to accommodate our vegan diet, and the food was consistently good, with thoughtful options that made dining a pleasure. The wellness offerings were a nice touch, though we would have appreciated more frequent yoga sessions and a broader selection of spa treatments. That said, the Saturday yoga class was excellent and left us feeling refreshed and centered. The property is walkable to town, but only during daylight hours due to the terrain, so we opted for taxis in the evenings. It's important to note that the location and layout are best suited for guests without mobility issues. Overall, Happy Cretan Suites is a wonderful choice for a relaxing getaway, especially if you're looking for a peaceful atmosphere, kind hospitality, and a touch of luxury.

About 30 minutes away from Heraklion, so I would recommend renting a car. You can arrange a taxi, but it’s better to have your own transportation on the island. Food was a bit hit or miss. Breakfast had a large spread- I didn’t know until after the fact but you can request an omelette or fresh eggs. Room was lovely and we enjoyed being in a hot tub suite!

This is a very nice property with super nice people! They had multiple pools, bars, and restaurants to choose from. Saying that, the food was meh. It had plenty of options and items to choose from, but in our opinion wasn’t real good. We decided to take the 8EU cab ride into town and eat there every night. We had one of the suites and it was excellent. Very spacious room and bathroom/shower area. Not to mention the hot tub right outside your room was incredible. The only issue we had was with Laundry service. We received our clothes later than the time we were told and when we got them back they were still wet due to them having dryer issues. Thankfully we weren’t flying out and only to pack them in a bag in our cab to our next location. A bit of a pain but not the end of the world. All in all a wonderful place to stay but you may want to step out to get your food.

We had a really enjoyable stay at the Happy Cretan Resort. The sea view from our room was gorgeous, and it was one of the highlights of the trip. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the amenities were everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We spent a lot of time at the pool, which was peaceful and had amazing views. The restaurant served very good food, and we appreciated the variety and quality. What stood out most was the friendly and helpful staff—everyone was welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d definitely stay here again if we’re back in Crete.
