Wonderful Stay at NEMA We had an amazing experience staying at NEMA! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with incredibly friendly and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable throughout our stay. The hotel itself is spotless—everything was impeccably clean, which really added to the relaxing atmosphere. The location is perfect, directly at the beach, offering stunning views and easy access to the shore. Plus, there are many great restaurants and supermarkets just a short walk away. The overall vibe at NEMA is warm and positive, making it the perfect place to stay. We highly recommend it!

NEMA is a hotel I would recommend to anyone who is travelling to Crete. The location is picturesque and safe, also being along the sea front with the most beautiful sunset views. The service was absolutely amazing and the staff made our stay so lovely. Sumi, in particular, delivered a high standard of service and made our stay very memorable. The standard of the rooms was above and beyond and you can see so much detail was put into each room. We enjoyed our stay so much so that we extended our trip by another 3 days to which the staff made so easy for us to do. On our last night, we stayed in the jacuzzi room which had a lot of style and was overall incredible. I also wanted to note that the breakfast buffet offered a variety of food and it was all fresh and tasty. Lastly, the pool was incredible with comfy sun loungers and adjustable parasols. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.

The hotel is in a great location, just 30 minutes from the airport, with plenty of cozy and delicious dining options nearby, as well as a grocery store and taxi service. The staff and service are excellent—always attentive to our requests and consistently friendly. The hotel’s design is minimalistic, creating a relaxing atmosphere, although I found the rooms to be quite dark, with limited lighting options. Breakfast is fantastic, offering a wide variety of dishes that change slightly each day. A hidden gem is the a la carte restaurant, Rizes. The menu is amazing, showcasing unique Greek flavors. The cocktails are delicious, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality. I highly recommend trying it! The beach is decent but could benefit from better maintenance. After a storm, a significant amount of seaweed washed ashore, emitting an unpleasant smell, which made it uncomfortable to enter the sea. Additionally, there are areas for improvement in cleanliness. I was disappointed to find makeup stains in the sink, oily spots in the bathroom from previous guests, and dust on the fridge and safe. Despite tipping the cleaning staff, the situation didn’t improve over our week-long stay. After raising the issue with reception, the room was cleaned again, but not thoroughly—the stains in the sink remained, and marks from the cleaning cloth became visible. Moreover, the shower was leaking, and the water never dried up.

The service was excellent, great food and well-designed hotel. The location is fabulous with a private beach. The room was nice, but there is a significant mosquitos issue. You literally can’t sit in the terrace. The most disappointing thing is that the hotel doesn’t do anything about that, neither mosquitoes traps nor repellents. We stayed in the end of September in a room with a private pool. The pool was freezing. They wanted 100 euros for the first day of heating, followed by 30 euros per day.
