We had an absolutely fabulous 10 night stay at Nana Golden Beach in August. We loved the hotel grounds, the many swimming pools, the water sports, cocktails and daily entertainment. A big shout out to Tiana, our most wonderful Yoga instructor! We enjoyed Tirana’s daily Aqua Yoga classes, she is such an asset to the hotel with her enthusiasm and kindness. Billy, our top bar man, and he makes a mean Tequila Sunrise served with a big smile. Finally Georgeina who always made sure our boy had a delicious fresh chocolate waffle every morning and always greeted us so warmly. The team at Nana Golden Beach are all wonderful and we thank you for a memorable family vacation.

Fantastic, top quality experience, quite simply the best Greek resort we've been to (travelled as 3 couples). Room/Grounds: Perfectly kept, this really is a large resort so be prepared for a bit of walking. A large stretch of rooms/of the hotel facing the beach which is great. We commented that there's a huge variety of beautiful plants/trees/flowers which makes the resort stand out. Has a real 'village' feel with lots of different/unique areas of the resort all connected together. Restaurants: What we came for and did not disappoint. The resort's MANY a la carte restaurants were ALL great with some highlights being the following: Poseidon - top quality food, something you'd expect from top end London restaurants Thalassa - the most underrated and possibly the best, great fish dishes and a fantastic atmosphere and location Azzuro - an incredible view (see photos) that will not disappoint, excellent Italian food too (i.e. no 'samey' pasta to be found) Meat In - the steaks were also great, and an interesting/unique location. Panos the head waiter is hilarious and great fun We managed to eat in as many a la carte restaurants as we wanted (group of 6) The main restaurant (aside from being an architectural wonder) is great with a huge selection of buffet food, it being noticeably fresher than other resort's buffets and there still being table service there. The (all included) wine list in the restaurants was a great touch and there were so many. I just about tried all 7 red wines in 10 days. I think there are about 14 bottles of white wine to try... Bars: All drinks were branded international brands, with most of the drinks being mixed being top quality. Best drinks were served in the (main) panorama bar, which served bar snacks and had the best view. Special mention to Pela who runs the beach bar - she made our holiday. Always so such fun to talk to, and served so fab cocktails. I wish the beach bar was open earlier in the evening for drinks by the sea, it often opened too late and was a little windy in the evenings. Pools/Beach: Lots to choose from, with it being a family resort there were a lot of children around all pools (even in term time when we went) but this is to be expected if you're booking this resort. Would be nice to have an adults only pool, maybe something the resort could think about next year. We spent most of our time on the rocks, which had umbrellas/loungers setup. There was always space and the view is soemthing out of a James Bond film. Really special and a great touch. You can even get into the sea from here (when it isn't too choppy). Activities: The animation team are engaging and fun, without being pushy. We got involved in shuffleboard, bingo, archery and taking out (free) pedallos which which a great touch. A HUGE amount of time, care and attention went into the construction, layout and design of the resort and it really shows, with the staff obviously enjoying working here and that reflecting on how they treat guests - we would love to come back.…

Travelled as a family of four with university age (kids?!) for a last minute break. Arrived very late at night and had an efficient check in with a golf buggy ride to our rooms. There is food available by the main pool for late arrivals which is a good idea. Upon surfacing in the morning we were treated to superb sea views with large balconies. The rooms were large and recently refurbished with superb bathrooms. Actually the refurbishment of the whole hotel is excellent and it's hard to believe that it's not been built in the last few years. To say the hotel was well equipped for activities is an understatement. Apart from the nice beach and outdoor pools, they have about 20 (yes 20) tennis courts which are a recent addition with a brand new water park which is pretty good. At the tennis courts there is a gym and a 25 metre indoor laned pool if you fancy lengths. There are always food critics at all hotels but with all inclusive it's hard to get it perfect. I think they have done well. With a weeks stay you get a few a La carte visits which are all good. To put this into context, we had one night out of the resort with a good meal and drinks and cocktails in Hersonissos town and whilst we had a great night we did part with about 400 euros. We found that the a La Carte meals and drinks at the hotel were comparible and of course included in the price which shows the great value you are getting. My son and I particularly enjoyed the sports bar above gym/tennis centre which has superb pool tables and air con, seemed always to be quiet. All in all an excellent hotel. Only observation that others have picked up on is that we did occassionally get a drainage smell in both of our bedrooms that's not a deal breaker, they did have a look at it for us. Any tips? If you are using the main all inclusive buffet restaurant without kids go over to far end to sit where it is quieter and the table service seems better for drinks etc. In summary would we go back? Yes, for sure. …

Dear Mr. Paulo, Thank you very much for coming to Nana Golden Beach and for sharing your experiences here. We are pleased to see, how much you enjoyed your recent stay in our "Cretan village" and how much you appreciate all the facilities we offer to our guests. Indeed, our hotel was built over 30 years ago. But during the last years our owner invested a lot of money to renovate and upgrade the entire hotel area. Really everything is new now. As in 2020 the hotel remained closed, even more things than initially scheduled were done. We are pleased to see, how much you appreciate this. Now we in our winter break, but we don't rest. Mail target now is better soundproofing in our new main restaurant - this is something which of course cannot be done with guests in the hotel. Also in other details we will work - Nana Golden Beach never sleeps and never rests, also not in winter. We hope to welcome you again soon and send sunny regards from Crete, Yours sincerely Nana Golden Beach Hotel Management

Had an incredible time. Clean bedrooms, friendly staff, good food, so many activities to do in the hotel, different “venues” to choose from for having dinner - just recommending to book a week before you go to make sure you will find space. There are many tennis and basketball courts, wide range of swimming pools. The gym is excellent, with a huge swimming pool and a brand new waterpark next to it.

I have already been to this resort in 2014 with my family and I have to say that they made some incredible improvements since then. I can start talking about the reception totally new with a modern style design , with the rooms they made one great step up are completely renovated and equipped with every comfort and modern equipment (plasma tv, usb connection, new bath room with great shower ecc...) The cleanliness of the rooms impeccable. Let's come to the restaurants, the new main restaurant is called artemis and is really a pharaonic structure with a buffet with food selections of all kinds Since 2014 many a la carte restaurants have been added and the Italian one has been moved to a truly suggestive location. We really enjoyed the meet In restaurant, and the sushi restaurant, we had the pleasure of meet again Dimitri at the Zorbas restaurant ... always cheerful and friendly. At the Thalassa restaurant, on the other hand, we had the pleasure of meeting Costantina who previously worked at the beach bar and we appreciated her friendliness and her being available. One of the novelties we found are the magnificent water park, the new kids club where our children had fun in the company of jamin, Anja and Alessia and the new Tennis Center structure. it was a great idea to create a bar where you can watch all the football matches at any time of day. We also notice that there is a olympionic pool indoor and new fitness area and new yoga area. It has been a wonderful week and I would like to congratulate all the management for the amazing improvements made. We will not hesitate to return and recommend it to our friends…

We wanted to pick a good choice for our summer vacation. This hotel was definitely the best one . Modern accommodation , Cretan hospitality at its finest and food variety and quality was beyond our expectations. But the most important for us was the fact that this hotel is so connected with nature. Sea view is endless from every angle also the flowers and trees around the hotel rooms differ from the rest hotels we have visited before. Not to mention the view since the hotel has been built on an amphitheatrical structure. Keep it up. We’ll be back the next year!

We managed once more to gather all the family and get a break at nana golden beach in Crete. From the moment we arrived back we immediately felt back at home and we where really surprised about the level of upgrade the hotel went through . I was personally really surprised since it was the first time I saw the indoor bar Athina and the only word that comes in mind is wow . We also got very lucky since there was an ITF tennis tournament taking place at the Hotel’s tennis club and we had the chance to watch many international players playing totally for free .Thank you for that. Congratulations once more to the management and the staff of the hotel for making us feel so welcome and taking care all of our needs. Coming back hopefully in May next year .

Dear Jenni, We took note of your review and first of all we state clear, that we are the only All Inclusive hotel in Crete with 7 A la Carte restaurants. Until last year we had only 4 A la Carte restaurants, but as the request has increased a lot due to Covid, we added 3 more A la Carte restaurants last winter. No other hotel in Crete has more seats in the A la Carte restaurans as we have. Of course when we are fully booked, not all our max. 1700 guests can dine each evening in one of our A la Carte restaurants and not always seats will be available at the preferred time. That's why in addition last winter we also built our new and big main restaurant "Artemis". As usual in All Inclusive hotels, our A la Carte restaurants can be booked depending on the availability - either through our app or by our friendly guest relations in the lobby. But certainly not in the way you describe. this is not our style and in over 30 years Nana Golden Beach such things never happened. In addition, the mentioned colleague is working for Nana Golden Beach since many, many years and we stricly refuse your accusation, which is just not true and not fair. Dear Mrs. Jenni, of course it's a pity that you could not visit all our A la Carte restaurants. But please understand, that many other guests like to go there as well and that you were not alone in the hotel. Maybe you have overseen that. We never promised that our A la Carte restaurants are available for everybody at any desired time, but we do our best to allow as many visits as possible - for all guests. To give us such a rating just because you could book "only" 4 A la Carte restaurants, in our opinion is by far exaggerated and a smack in the face of all our hard working colleagues, who are always giving their best for our guests. Regards, Nana Golden Beach Hotel Management

Lovely hotel, if that it how it can be described, however I booked this hotel through TUI as part of an upgrade offer to keep My booking post pandemic . I was promised a room with a mountain view, however I was allocated a room In The ground in the centre looking out at another ground floor room with no sun at any time of the day . The room was fine and the location and the food was the best ever in an - all inclusive - setting with such a variety of choice of restaurant. The only let down was the room allocated . I looked at booking for next year in September 2023 and the prices are crazy !!!!

Dear Paddy, Thank you very much for coming to Nana Golden Beach and for your feedback. We are pleased to see, how much you enjoyed your well deserved holidays in our "Cretan village" and hope to see you again next summer! Concerning the prices for next season, kindly note that all of us are affected by rising costs. Energy, fuel, food, gas, delivery of goods for the daily hotel operation, materials of any kind - everything became more expensive due to the known worldwide situation. We strive for offering our guests still a good value for the money, but we have to work also economically to cover our costs. With sunny regards, Yours sincerely Nana Golden Beach Hotel Management
