Jo-An Beach Hotel

This is my fourth time here and I always love coming back! The beach bar has been renovated and looks absolutely stunning. The food is even better this year – a real delight! I especially want to praise the staff: everyone is fantastic, always friendly, helpful, and truly dedicated. I always feel welcomed here. The hotel garden is beautiful and the location is perfect – restaurants and supermarkets are just nearby. Everything is within easy reach, yet the atmosphere remains calm and relaxing. Thank you once again for another wonderful experience! I will definitely be back ❤️

We travelled in October for 1 week on all inclusive board, 2 famillies with 2 teenagers. All inclusive beverages very limited choices, local alcoholic drinks ouzo, raki,one type of brandy,wine and beer. No other spirit drinks for cocktails unless you pay extra. The rooms have basic comfort,definitely not 4*, additionally you need to pay for pool towels on daily basis €2.5 /towel, if you should need to change towels extra fee applies. There is a beach near by, but the hotel charges will apply on daily basis for sunbeds and umbrellas, €3/sunbed /day in out of season. Food reasonable good but limited on choices, swimming pools very small with limited sunbeds, beach unkempt, dirty and several risks of hazards if travel with small children. Overall, this hotel is mainly for elderly people with minimal requests and basic services. Read hotel description and be aware of city tax that you might be charged upon arrival, that is not mandatory, otherwise should have been included in the package price. Only good reviews can be attributed to the staff, they are very friendly, polite and helpful.

We arrived early in the morning and, although the check-in officially starts at 3 PM, we were kindly offered a temporary family room. This was a very thoughtful gesture from the hotel, as it allowed us to rest after the trip and compare different room standards. The family room was extremely spacious, consisting of two separate bedrooms, two toilets and one shower. From the very first moment, we noticed how clean it was. Later, after the room exchange, we also received a large double room with a beautiful sea view. Even though the hotel is not labeled as “luxury,” the staff does everything to make guests feel like they are staying in one. The cuisine truly deserves a special highlight! The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, minimally processed and full of natural flavor. I have never eaten so well and so healthily in a hotel before. Huge compliments to the chef – he is outstanding! Sometimes you may need to wait a short while to get a table, especially during peak times, but this was never a problem for us. The staff has been working here for many years, which creates a warm, family-like atmosphere. The bar service is also excellent – great drinks and amazing people. Special greetings to Dimitris! 🍹 The hotel is surrounded by lots of greenery and offers peaceful spots to relax. It also makes a perfect base for exploring nearby attractions. In conclusion: Jo An Beach is a place where you can truly rest and feel special. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Great hotel with a great restaurant and a pool bar. The hotel is located by the beach, which is excellent for us. The staff is helpful, kind and friendly. We recommend it!!!

Well organised and clean rooms. The food was warm, tasty, variety and always enough. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is situated on a private beach with pebbles and flat rocks, so swimming shoes are recommended. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for an additional charge. The staff at the reception, restaurant, and bar are very friendly and polite. The food is varied and delicious. The rooms are simple but clean. A bus stop to Rethymno is located close to the hotel. There is almost no animation, except for one Greek evening per week, which was not a problem for us — we preferred walking along the beach or playing board games. We enjoyed our stay at Jo A Beach Hotel, thank you!

Hotel is clean and tidy. Staff was kind and friendly. Restaurant is fantastic, food was delicious and offer was large. Chef is kind and friendly. We enjoyed our stay, I would recommend

Our son is allergic for gluten. The service in the restaurant for explaining and ordering glutenfree food was excellent. Also was someone to help with requests about allergic food in the restaurant at every meal.

Hotel was amazing and so was the sea, however its not really kids friendly couse of the huge waves. Highly recomend swimming shoes. Both of the pooly were warm and very fine allthough if you wanted to have sunbed by the pool you had to wake up early. You can also buy the sunbeds on beach or take a towel. The food was Amazing and so was the chef who was always ready to help me as I am gluten free. There was always food to choose from and if not, he prepared me pizza or pasta of some kind. Big Thanks to him and the staff. Hotel is gluten free friendly.

We had a fantastic stay at Jo An Beach! You can't beat the direct beach access, and the fact that it's ideal for smaller kids made our trip so relaxing. With two great pools and delicious food, there was always something tasty to enjoy. What really made our vacation, though, was the super nice staff – they were always friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend!
