"The hotel view was lovely and the sound of the waves crashing up from the patio was nice but this place feels more like a one star to me. There was zero wifi even though they claimed there was and the AC stopped working around 1230am. We woke up boiling hot and suffered until we left at 8am. I enjoyed the pool and the location but sadly would not be back."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Youphoria Villas in Kissamos, Crete! It lived up to and exceeded our expectations. We stayed in Harmony Villa and the view was absolutely stunning. The location and orientation on the hill felt very private. It was spotless both inside and out with well kept gorgeous gardens. The inside was beautiful and modern but warm. The outside area and infinity pool with incredible views of the water and mountain landscape was the best part. We could’ve lived outside from...

Top Kissamos Hotel Reviews

Panorama Hotel

Panorama Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very spacious and clean room, with a large balcony. Every day the room was cleaned and the floor was cleaned with water and wiped. Staff was always friendly and willing to help. The included breakfast was excellent with enough options to please everyone in the family of 2 adults and two kids, 10 to 15 years old. The walk to the beach was shorter than we thought (about 5 mins max) and the beach + the sea in this location were wonderful. The sunset is also a must see around 8:30PM local time."
