Lovely 5 star hotel with very friendly staff which go out their way to speak. Hotel is situated on the beach. We had a pool and sea view junior suite room with a small balcony. Had robes and slippers and mini fridge in room. Bottle of water provided every day in the fridge. Also a bottle of red wine was there when we checked in. Couldn’t fault the food at breakfast and dinner plenty of choice. Don’t get caught not drinking or eating purchased food from the hotel on beach or pool, we seen a couple who had a can of pop being told off. Only gripe was if you wanted a gazebo on the beach it’s €70 euro for the day. Totally not worth it. Nobody was using them when we went in May 2026. Hotel is kept immaculate all the time and would recommend staying.

This is a truly amazing and luxurious place to stay in Crete! The staff are wonderful and friendly and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Rooms are cleaned twice a day. We went for my birthday and stayed in one of their executive sea view rooms with private pool and we got so much more than we were told we'd have. You have to pay to use the spa but we had free use all week (although you have to pre-book). Free gazebo on the beach with water and fruit platter thrown in for the duration of our stay. The welcome drinks upon arrival (5 different one's in total) was served at check-in so we were even more surprised when we saw cakes, fruit, bottle of red wine, ouzo and beach accessories in the room. On the day of my birthday, they surprised us again with champagne and more fruit as well as personal gifts! The room is very high tech with control panels operating the curtains,fan or optional A/c, music and lights. With two bathrooms one with shower and the other shower with jacuzzi bath the OH and I could have one each (would have paid extra for that bliss alone😅). We really thought Amira lived up to its luxury status! My husband eats anything, I unfortunately cannot have diary so the buffet dinner was not that great as the selections for anyone with dietry requirements was rather poor. I would suggest booking on a B&B basis and eating elsewhere as we did. They do give you 34% discount to use their A la cart restaurants but unfortunately it was always fully booked unless you wanted to eat after 8:30pm which we didnt. There's plenty of great Tavernas nearby so would definitely stay here again.

We spent a wonderful week in Crete in mid-May and stayed at the amazing Amira Luxury Hotel. The welcome at the hotel was truly warm, and we were immediately served refreshing drinks upon arrival. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly, and the service was excellent throughout our stay. The hotel has a spa area and treatment center. I personally had a manicure, and my mother enjoyed both a facial and body treatment, and we would happily recommend the treatments. We also made good use of the hotel gym, which had everything needed for a full workout. One morning, I joined the yoga session organized by the hotel, which unfortunately was not particularly impressive in my opinion due to the instructor being somewhat inexperienced. We had half board, which included breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was extremely extensive, and there were also an incredible number of options at dinner — especially the dessert buffet, which was amazing! The dinner food itself could, in my opinion, have been of slightly higher quality. During the week, the hotel hosted live music with a band/singer on three evenings, and all of the performers were truly talented. The hotel’s location is a bit remote, so I would recommend renting a car. We had a rental car for the entire week, which made it easy to get from place to place. There are also small grocery stores within a short walking distance from the hotel. Rethymno as an area is absolutely beautiful, and the old town is definitely worth visiting!
