The staff/owners went above and beyond in their attention as well as should there be any problems they with dealt with ASAP.
As our taxi airport transfer wasn’t due until 1400 hrs they allowed us to check out late obviously this is dealt with a case by case as the hotel occupancy at any one time may effect the possibility.

Gouves its a village, perhaps not as glamorous as Chania side of Crete but I liked it. Is a bit unpolished, I would say, not with that feeling of drowning under the - all included large hotel complexes and the tourist vulgo that comes with it. Its a more apartments district with greeks coming on vacations too. Plenty of taverns with prices ranging between; main courses 7-14€, drinks 5€ and cocktails 7€, breakfast 5-8€. It also has several Super markets, two of them larger with everything you need. All the above its at walking distance. 10 min with the car or moped from Gouves up inte mountains, you come to smaller villages like Hersonissos with fantastik tavernas and beautiful views.

A charming village, about 15 minutes from Heraqlion by bus (no. 2 from the airport).
Do NOT miss the Asteria taverna next to Lavris hotel: every Sunday and Tuesday a live performance of traditional Greek and Cretan music, with the beautiful Anna teaching Greek dances. It's not a tourist taveran (although there are tourists there of course) but aimed mainly for the locals. We will remember our two visits there as one of our unique experiences in Crete, and no doubt the most enjoable of them.

The day I was in Gouves the beaches were basically nonexistent due to the high tie and was very very windy. Walking along the sea was nice but given the nice beaches the island has to offer I'd rather go somewhere else or at least not stay there for long
Accommodation was excellent it met all our needs. Apartments all have wonderful sea views and the Sandy beach is on doorstep. Giorgos and his family who own property are fantastic hosts and go out of their way to help should you need. Noi Noi bar which is in front of Apartments and right on seafront is also run by Giorgos’ and his family and serves lovely drinks and snacks. Although the area is quiet and peaceful there are plenty of Tavernas and restaurants two minutes walk away. Ideal for couples. Can’t wait to return .
Everything. We had stayed in this hotel on the first day of our holiday and by the end of the holiday we just had to return. This hotel made our holiday a million times better. Small, intim hotel with very lovely staff, excellent food and very close to a great beach. Thank you also for the bottle of champagne you surprised us with, as a gift for returning to your hotel. It was a great surprise. When we return to Crete, we will definitely book our entire holiday in this hotel.
Our stay at Villa Mika was amazing.
The villa is super comfortable with all the necessary amenities for our family.
The beach is just 5 minutes away. A super market also so you don't miss anything.
Dimitris and Marilena are great hosts. They are so friendly and always available to answer all our questions l, with many recommendations for restaurants and daily trips on Crete.
Totally recommended!!!!
We will be back for sure.
Thank you for an amazing stay
The three brothers (and other family) that run this hotel are gorgeously genuine nice people. Hard not to enjoy yourselves with such lovely people looking after you. They looked after me and my family like we were their own.The location is great, cocktails are great and the service first class. I'd buy each of them a pint in my local if I ever bump into them and invite them over for a barbecue or a roast dinner. Thanks for a lovely holiday.
I will totally come back to Gouvesbay
Clean rooms, excellent service, food was really amazing, the drinks at the bar with kostas and savina which makes your holidays even better, you won’t get bored with your staying at Gouvesbay hotel with the entertainment team they have daily program and different show every night
Thanks for all the team at the hotel who made our holidays the best that we could ask for
See you next year
Friendly, helpful staff.
We got bigger room with seaview.
There was welcome pack in the fridge - water, juice and fruits.
Free airport shuttle - arrived on time, fast.
All inclusive matches the price - drinks are available during day, but don't expect large selection.
Food is similar every day, but it sometimes depends on time when you arrive.
Beach is sandy, only 20 meters from the hotel.
Small kitchen in the room.
This was our second visit to the Island Hotel and definitely not the last one. This hotel is a little piece of heaven for those who want to wind down and relax. The staff is extremely polite and friendly, the premises are spotless, the pools are heavenly and the food is absolutely delicious. We got a room upgrade this time and we are very grateful for that. We are looking forward to visiting the Island Hotel again!
Everything was unforgettable. The room is nice, with comfortable beds. Food is very, very good, planty of choice, very good quality, nice position of the hotel. All stuff is very kind, but we would like, especially, to thanks Katharina (receptionist) for extremely kidness and help. We strongly recommend this hotel, not only for short stay. We hope to come again soon.
The hotel it beautiful and clean, the staff verry helpfull , food good and for everybody, drinks are fine but not soo good all the time, ice cream was verry tasty, pools super my dauther was super happy and us also. The beach it s ok but not the best but for us was fine ( the sea it s with wives that was super cool for us!).
The apartment is perfect, so clean and excellently equipped. You can park inside, The owner is incredibly nice. The beach is only 50 meters from the apartment, Super Market, bar, coffeeshop with breakfast just a 2-minute walk on the beach. If we will go back to Crete, we will choose the TEO again. No question.
The room was very clean, with modern facilities, the kitchen was fully equipped and this was a big plus since we travel with our two years old son. There is a great sea view from the balcony and parking is available near the accomodation. The location is near restaurants, a few sandy beaches and supermarkets.
Excellent service and kind hospitality from the personal of the hotel. Very clean room with a perfectly working A/C and comfortable bed. Tasty dinners with variable menu. Good access to the sea. Nice location in the calm part of Gouves. Thank you!
