Shocking place. Dirty, unhygienic, facilities did not work, barely anyone at reception. There are nicer prisons out there. Stay anywhere else. Full review and photos on google

Perfectly pleasant and people were pleasant but you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Minimal options for breakfast.
Not a 4 star hotel for sure

Great location, on a beautiful sandy beach with a few tavernas close by. Quiet.
This hotel was rated a 4 star but it would be lucky to get 2 star. The morning buffet breakfast is the worst we have experienced in over 50 years of travelling to Crete and other parts of Greece.
Place was very nice, although our room didn't have any doors on our shower; made for very wet floors lol. Mattress was very firm, but other than that, location is right on the beach which is fantastic! You can rent a beach chair (minimum of 6 euros spend limit), and the staff were all very friendly!
From the beginning, it felt like a family atmosphere. Not just with incredible Greek friendliness, but you really felt like the employees cared and were personally invested in your experience. A local village feel with just about everything you need nearby: store, 5-6 good restaurants, stellar beach. The hotel itself was excellent for those who want to do nothing but relax. Great bar and kitchen with reasonable prices and good quality food. Morning breakfast was nice. You don’t go there if you are expecting new and luxury facilities but you go there for a great vibe and beach experience. Beach was sandy and pretty clean with chairs and umbrellas to which the hotel would deliver food and drink to. All around very happy!
Great little hotel on the beachfront small sandy beaches restaurants and bars 500 metres away, you can throw a stone from hotel into the water. swimming pool with swim up bar
Very friendly staff, special mention to Katerina who seemed to be in every department. early in the season so quiet. no public transport, you must have a car
would recommend

The property is nice and clean, the beach area is clean and beautiful!
There are few restaurants around the area and few blocks to the local bus stop.

The proximity to the beach being right across the road was excellent.The windows were all covered in a white film which made it impossible to see out.
There are over 20 stairs to get to the rooms - and suitcases must be carried up. Not ideal for over 70 year olds.
There were not enough lights in the room - no light at all in kitchen. Kitchen had no dishes or cutlery, no microwave - but did have a fridge.
The breakfast was ok if you wanted fruit and cereal but the eggs and meat options were not good at all. The cleaning lady is very nice and friendly.
Excellent swimming pool and good clean adjacent beach.
Maintenance needs attention - our stay was at the end of the season. Breakfast was only satisfactory.
Breakfast was a highlight, good voice of food. Maria did an excellent job with the cooking and presentation of food.
Ekaterini was immaculate with her cleaning efforts & preparation/presentation of our room.
Overall, our stay at Yria Beach Hotel was both relaxing, quiet & close to the beach, restaurants & facilities. Highly recommended.
The best maid ever Katerina! So energetic and thorough! Working all day long on 30°C and smiling all the time!? Need to replace towels or shampoos, they are there before you have chance to ask!
Antonios, the receptionist, very helpful and informative! He has the answers on all of your questions and he can get you whatever you need!

It was a very pleasant stay, the Hotel is just in front of the beach.
I would like to Thanks Alexander and Petras for being helpful during my stay.
Katerima was a wonderful cleaner - so kind, friendly and welcoming. Always there to help. The bar man was incredible! Kind, friendly and generous. The staff made this place. We had a fantastic holiday thanks to all!
This hotel and the staff were absolutely lovely! The room was clean and spacious and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel is located just at the beach with cute restaurants all around in easy walking distance. We loved staying here and would definitely recommend it to anyone!
