Hotels near Castle of Kritinia

"We have had a lovely time. The hotel is beautiful and staff are lovely. However for a 5 star resort - there were some small issues that’s shouldn’t be there. We were here for a long weekend and probably wouldn’t return. The bars are not fully stocked - as I am pregnant I asked for alcohol free and at each bar they had to run to another location to get them. On a couple of occasions my partner had had 2 drinks before my one. (Small problem). The Italian is located outside so a little windy, so bring a jumper for the evenings. They also give blankets, however these were also taken for people at the pool bar, so again they ran out. (Small problem). One of the days it was cold and windy so people naturally used the spa, they ran out of towels, so again another wait for towels. Also not enough sun beds, plenty of room but little sun beds out. Our room key didn’t work on 2 different occasions so back to reception to sort. They said it was due to being near a phone, but we kept it in the bag each time away from phones. Pools are freezing, including swims ups! No one was in any of them. We were lucky and managed to get reservations in all the restaurants. Lovely food and staff again are lovely. Our last night, we believe they forgot about our mains as we waited over an hour between starter and main. A visit to the snack bar for a burger, we were told beef burger had finished, with an hour and half still of opening time. Overall small problems, would expect better. "

"A beautifully designed resort with great food and fantastic private-pool villas We had a very good stay and genuinely appreciated how the hotel handled a difficult start. After an unpleasant experience with our airport pickup driver (not the hotel’s fault), the team very graciously upgraded us to a villa with a private pool — a gesture we really valued. The villa itself was fantastic: a huge pool, spacious rooms, and total comfort. We were thrilled with it. The food and drink options were another highlight. Everything was high-quality, and the food truck and ice-cream corner added a fun touch. The hotel layout and design are exceptional — it feels more like a thoughtfully designed village than a traditional resort. The kids club was fine and worked well for short visits. A few downsides: the beach is very rocky and gets extremely hot, so it’s not the easiest to enjoy, even though it’s conveniently close. And while most staff were helpful, the breakfast service often felt rushed and not particularly friendly, which stood out compared to the otherwise great experience. Overall, a beautiful property with strong food options and truly wonderful villas — we left happy and recharged."

"Best hotel i have been to excellent food rooms and waterpark 5a*****"

"I have to admit I was not happy with my room. It was dated, with a non-working shower and full of insects, especially after it went dark. However, I cannot but admit that the people managing the property (a family of four plus staff) went out of their way to make this a memorable stay. They were incredibly hospitable and their engaging personalities ended up making this a memorable experience; one that would make me consider returning in the future; albeit in a different room (hopefully). There is a small menu available to residents of the hotel. Do try it. The prices are incredibly competitive and you will enjoy dishes representative of local and Greek cuisine, offered at generous portions and great taste. "

"Fresh omelette every day. Staff can’t do enough for you. Room with pool was amazing. Beach is so lovely and peaceful but get some beach shoes to make entering sea easier. "

"The room the service badly maintained uncomfortable "

"Amazing property- fabulous beach steps away and great for kids"

"The best parts of this hotel is the great selection of breakfast, infinity pool with a gorgeous view and the comfy sun loungers and beds in the rooms. Cons: The direct beach access isn’t a nice beach or worthwhile visiting. The bar of an evening could be better service with better entertainment for a better atmosphere. Same with around the pool it would be great if there was an outdoor bar/ more people around serving for drinks/food. You have to get a taxi to Lindos Town which costs 12 euros each way. Needs more selection of gym equipment in the outdoor gym. "

"Staff very friendly and happy-first time to Greece-because of the resort/staff we will be returning-We stayed in “The Villa” and it was absolutely amazing. "
