Crete with Kids: 6 hotels that will make for a great vacation
Ammos Hotel, Chania Town
A family friendly boutique hotel set right on the beach and just 10 minutes from the Old Town in Chania. The friendly staff get raves, as does the kid friendly swimming pool. Kids are a common site at the Ammos and the warm staff go out of their way to make families feel welcome.
Lefka Apartments, Chania Town
A big pool, in room kitchens and super friendly staff are the big draws here. These rentals are available for longer stays and have nice discounts for May, June, September and October. Situated a short distance from Chania and near to a supermarket, greek taverna, and the airport.
King Minos Palace Hotel, Hersonissos
A fantastic pool, good food, and central location for touring the island keep guests happy. A small beach is only 5 minutes away – though the sea here can be rough. A super market is just a short distance as well.
Olive Grove Apartments, Elounda
Quiet and relaxing are the key words here. Situated in a sleepy town with many good restaurants the Olive Grove makes a pleasant stay for families. The rooms are very clean (some have washing machines) and just a 5 minute walk from the beach. A beautiful pool (and smaller kiddie pool), well equipped kitchens, great location and fantastic food garner great reviews from visitors.
Candia Park Village, Agios Nikolaos
Great breakfasts, free kids club, fantastic beach and big rooms are the draw at the Candia Park. The taxi ride into Agios Nikolaos isn’t particularly cheap but this is made up for by crystal clear sea (great for snorkeling) and the pool side bar with ice cream and milkshakes.
Axos Hotel, Rethymnon
Friendly and inviting owners make a good hotel great! Fantastic breakfasts, delicious pizza, and a nearby strip of shops and eateries make for an inviting stay. The hotel is self catering and features a lovely pool with plenty of sun beds. Great online deals can be found outside of the high season of July and August.
My Favorite Websites
I get lots of questions about booking hotels. These are my favorite sites.HotelsCombined.com – The absolute best for finding hotel deals and discounts.
Agoda.com – A great resource for hotels in Asia.
Thanks for the good hotel suggestions.
