We stayed at Caretta Beach for 10 days in September. When you drive there look for Eanthia Village sign. Carreta Beach turning is right before it. The place itself is very nice, tidy and well organized, it is right on the beach, the bed cost 3euro per person, near the pool it is for free. The bar is small but... More

My husband and I stayed for 5 nights in Caretta. The hotel grounds are really lovely, the pool area is very nice and the staff friendly and conscientious. The location, at least for us, was perfect. Close to Plantanias and Chania but also far enough away to have peace and quiet when you wanted it. Unfortunately, the little things about... More

My family really enjoyed the nine day we stayed at the hotel in July and we recommend it to other families and others that want a quiet and a relaxing vacation. The food is good both at the hotel and the hotel next door, which has a more extensive menu. The beach is nice and have some snorkling opportunites at... More

Me and my family had a lovely stay at Caretta beach hotel. It is a quiet hotel with a frendly athmosphere. The pool is good sized and the hotel is just by the beach, so the kids spend more time in the water then on land. Thea, Barbara and the rest of the staff are all very service minded, frendly... More

We stayed for one week in june 2011. We had a two room apartment, bathroom and kitchenette for 65€/night. Plus: great location right on the beach, Perfect for families with younger children, the beach is not crowded. Near minimarket. Gerani i think is a very gold location for exploring western Crete. It's a quiet place, but only a five minute... More

We had a very relaxing visit to Caretta Beach. The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway. Set on a beautiful scenic beach and with wam welcoming staff who can't do enough to help, it is an ideal holiday location. Close (14km) to the large town of Chania but still far enough away to escape the hussle of a busier... More

Took me a few tries to finally find the driveway but that is really the only negative words to say about Caretta Beach. The staff is great, the grounds are well taken care of, the beach is quiet, romantic, and peaceful. The rooms are nice, well cleaned and maintained. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet... More

My wife and I stayed at thishotel for three weeks in June and July of 2010. The hotel is well located, on a quite stretch of beach, away from the noise and the crowds but only a few minutes away from the nightlife, restaurants and other attractions. We had a rented car but for those who prefer public transportation the... More

We spent two wonderful weeks in this little hidden gem of sophistication. The hotel is the perfect size, not too large to become an impersonal resort - just the right size with a small number of rooms and enough infrastructure with a restaurant / bar. The staff members we encountered were all amazingly helpful and could speak both English and... More
