The Island Hotel

"What we enjoyed at The Island in Gouves! A wonderful hotel with clean, beautiful rooms, lovely beds, and a super breakfast. The staff is incredibly friendly, the swimming pools are lovely and the beautiful beach completes the picture. In addition, the hotel is a great base to discover a large part of beautiful Crete. This is how you combine relaxation with fun outings! Everything is correct here. We had a fantastic holiday and highly recommend this hotel. A wonderful place to enjoy yourself! ❤️🇬🇷"

"Lovely hotel with very nice rooms. Breakfast disappointing as in very samey, nothing unique. The bar is non atmospheric and the barman extremely unfriendly. He put all the lights off at midnight saying that we had lights over there, they were about 20 yards away. We were in darkness. Lots of nice tavernas just outside the grounds, great for eats and drinks. So glad we came bed and breakfast only. Lovely pools with plenty of beds to enjoy."

"This is a lovely hotel in great location,but and it's a big but,the food is appalling,the food is cold,cheap and they even have a microwave to heat it up. Staff are generally very helpful,but got told off for taking a coffee from the restaurant to drink outside,they are a little touchy about you not buying their stuff. We ate out because it was so bad,all the little tavernas were great and cheap and good quality. Travel by bus is great,and easy,but bus stop is 1 mileish on main road. All in all nice hotel rubbish food. Not 5* We were there during the floods so weather was crap too."
