Akasha Beach Hotel & Spa

Kei

This hotel is honestly so beautiful, down to the rooms, staff and food is top notch. i came here for a break from the city and it’s made my trip memorable for sure. i was always up at the atmosphere bar/the rooftop sunbathing and always saw Despina’s bright beautiful face smiling which was so refreshing to see and made me feel comfortable during my stay. During dinner Leon was very helpful with the service if you had any concerns, was super friendly. Overall i’d say staff and service is amazing and i’ve made some good friendships and connections here with them as well. The room service was always done every single day, providing new bottles of water in the fridges, food for your landing, snacks, and tea and a complimentary cretan alcohol drink. you could get a taste of that luxury from these little details. food is great but not so Michelin of course but i have no complaints about it. i’m not too fussy with the food here. the atmosphere id say is super chilled out, relaxing and open. The spa was lovely and the spa facilities too were nice. I would definitely come here again.

Stayed here solo from May 15th to May 19th for my birthday, and it was a massive letdown compared to the luxury aesthetic advertised all over TikTok and booking platforms. I checked in around 1:00 AM on Saturday, only to open my balcony door to a view of a literal semi-abandoned lot, unkempt grass, cracked walls, and other people's laundry hanging right in front of me. This "view" is completely hidden on Love Holidays and Akasha’s official website. Leaving guests to find this out at 1 AM is unacceptable. When I asked to change rooms, the front desk team gave me the run-around, telling me to come back multiple times. When they finally showed me an alternate room, it still wasn't the pool/sea view advertised, yet they still expected me to pay an extra 35 euros a night (70 euros total) to upgrade—completely ignoring the fact that I was checking out at 4:00 AM on Tuesday anyway. It feels like a calculated bait-and-switch hustle: give guests the worst possible room, then force them to wait around or pay extra cash to escape it. As a solo traveler, it felt incredibly manipulative, and I refused to pay extra for a room I didn't even want. To top it off, the food was a major disappointment. Both the breakfast and dinner were not very nice, which you don't expect from a hotel branding itself as a luxury wellness/spa resort. While parts of the property are modern, the room lottery roulette, poor food quality, and greedy upgrade tactics ruined my birthday trip. I've since found out many other guests have experienced the exact same thing—with some even being pressured by staff to delete negative reviews while on-site in exchange for upgrades. Be incredibly careful booking this place through third-party sites, because they will happily dump you in a room facing a construction zone.

Our stay at Akasa was absolutely perfect. The hotel has a fantastic restaurant with incredible flavors, and the bar offers a great vibe and amazing drinks. The room was modern and equipped with a great TV. The absolute highlight of our trip was the staff; they are remarkably friendly and treated us like family. Everything was just spectacular. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a top-tier stay!

We were here last March for 10 nights, can't say its 5 star standards part of the hotel was closed due to its not been the busy season. And if you want to use steam room and zona you Have to book in advance and pay for it. We went half board breakfast and dinner. If you want water with your dinner which comes in bottle you have to pay. Drinks are bit pricey when you can get for half the price outside in a nice bar. Rooms get tidy up later than any other holiday we been so if you come to your room just after 12pm after a swim I found it annoying to wait for a fresh towels. You can request calling reception but still we had to wait for a while for it. Food wasn't up to 5 star standards sushi was a disaster, they repeat it another day still same. We stayed in urban city view with swimming pool, Rooms are good size bathroom good. Touch screen lights modern but getting up middle of the night to bathroom hard to find the light you end up switching the wrong light disturbing your partner. Cleaning staff nice, restaurant staff lovely with friendly service. Location good.

The restaurant and bar at Akasha are exceptional! Every meal was incredibly fresh, featuring a perfect mix of local flavors and international dishes. The cocktails are top-tier—expertly crafted by skilled mixologists and beautifully presented.What sets this place apart is the incredible staff. Every waiter and bartender is warm, attentive, and highly professional. Eating and drinking here is an absolute must!
