St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas

St Nicolas Bay hotel was just gorgeous, we had a lovely large room with great balcony. The beach/jetty was lovely and the pool stunning. Staff couldn't do more for you. Lunch restaurant was good, sushi is a must.

We had half board and the main restaurant was disappointing. The starter buffet was very nice but the main courses were terrible. They were precooked and came looking very dry. Very unappetising. Not great for a 5 star hotel.

The hotel is not very big, which made our stay very comfortable and easy. The sea was beautiful, with a small but sufficient sandy beach, and thanks to the sheltered bay even on windy days our child could swim safely. It was also great for snorkeling and watching the fish. We didn’t use the pools much since the sea was so nice, but there are two seawater pools of decent size, which is a nice feature. The staff were professional and very helpful, and both breakfast and dinner were very good. The location is also convenient, close to Agios Nikolaos, where we went in the evenings. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose this hotel again if we come back to Crete.

We joined the Greek Night at one of the à la carte restaurants. While the music and dancing were nice, as a family familiar with Greek cuisine we really didn’t enjoy the food. Considering the high price, it was disappointing that the quality was so poor. I reduced my rating by 1 point only because of this. Due to this bad experience, we didn’t try the other à la carte restaurants. On the other hand, the dinners included in the half-board restaurant were very good and more than sufficient for us.

the stuff were all amazing, welcoming and kind. the hotel is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. the room was big and comfortable. all in all we had the best time and were really happy with the decision to book this hotel. thank you!
