A magical place with a breathtaking sea view. We arrived for our first family vacation in Crete with our two daughters, and from the very first moment we felt warmly welcomed. We were offered an early check-in and even upgraded to larger, more luxurious rooms, which made the start of our vacation perfect. The hotel staff were exceptionally kind, friendly, and attentive, always happy to help with every request. The location is excellent — very close to Plaka and within walking distance of another charming little village, giving us the perfect combination of peace, beautiful scenery, and a special Greek atmosphere. In short, we enjoyed every moment and are already looking forward to our next vacation at this hotel.

With no doubt one of the best Hotels on the Island of Crete! Absolutely stunning views directly opposite the Island of Spinalonga. The service an Team is fantastic - the facilities are great: from the 3 Pools, the gym, the Bars and Restaurants everything is just fantastic - thank you all - we will be back 🙏🤩

We had an amazing week here the summer of 2024. We loved the rocky beach with crystal clear water. The view from our room was amazing and our son loved the private pool. Missing this place about right now.

We had an amazing time at Cayo with our infant. The room was stunning, so much space, well designed and the pool was delightful. The twice daily cleaning was exceptional. They left little treats in our, loads of water and kept the place immaculate. We had half board, the buffet breakast and dinner were great. It varies pretty much every day for dinner and some off the dishes were delicious. They alwsy had a lovely grilled fish or meat and loads of sides. They keep everything well stocked, have delicious oils and sides. The breakfast was wonderful, so much choice, from a menu or the various buffet choices. I've been to a fair few buffets and this was high up there. The drinks and the cocktail bar were grear for a drink. It has great wine menu with some lovely choices. The pool areas are well spaced and relaxing. It's a short walk into to town which is small but has a nice few restaurants. My wife did have a massage which she said was just okay and it was expensive so that was probably the only downside. I would certainly recommend Cayo as a stunning hotel where you can enjoy a little bit of luxury.

This was my first time in Crete. The Staff from Cayo Exclusive Hotels made our stay awesome. Everyone so kind und made us feel like home. Such a hospitable place. We are very thankful to everyone that contributed and make our stay unforgettable. Very clean, the breakfast incredibly tasty with an awesome view. So, if u have the possibility to book this hotel, don’t think twice. You won’t regret it 🤍
