Cosmi Apts Gouves by Estia

Everything. Nikos and Costas make this place. We laughed every day for 10 days. They made our family feel at home and went out of their way to make our stay easy and enjoyable. We had a lovely big apartment with a balcony. The pool is perfect with plenty of sun loungers. It is in a great location to walk to shops, restaurants and the beach and has a car park if you have hired a car. We will definitely return. 5*

The pool was clean and refreshing, and the lounge chairs were incredibly comfortable, perfect for relaxing under the sun. The room itself was also good, with a comfortable bed that ensured a great night's sleep.

There was no dish detergent or hand soap provided, and the kitchen was poorly equipped, lacking a frying pan and having only two spoons and two forks. Additionally, there were no bowls available. The place was also swarming with mosquitoes, and there were no measures taken to address this. The hosts seemed uninterested and did not provide much assistance. Unfortunately, these factors significantly impacted the overall experience.

It was cheap, and the owners father was lovely.

The bin had not been emptied in the bathroom since the last occupants, it had dirty tissue in it, and womens dirty sanitary products. It stank. No towels or linen were changed, and the bins were not emptied, I guess until we left. No toilet roll, not enough cutlery and a dead spider was in a coffee mug in the cupboard.

Great hosts, excellent value for money, peaceful & perfect location

Our second time staying here. Great value. Excellent hosts. Basic but immaculate apartment with a lovely pool area. Just what we needed. We will come again!

We stayed here for a week. We got there at about 6:00pm and was greeted by Nikos (the Dad) who collected our passports and asked us to come get them later once his son would have made the registration. The room was basic, but clean and cleaned on Wednesday, sheets and towels replaced. We had a nice view from the balcony and we’re somewhat pleased with the room. A short walk to the beach, restaurants and local shops. The pool area was lovely and the Pool Bar was ok. Nikos offered us an iron during our stay since we didn’t get our clothes ironed before the trip. That was cool.

The air con was extra at 55 euros for the week (we declined) and had our door and window open most of the time to allow the fresh air in. The Appartements are on the flight path for Heraklion, with a lot of planes passing over. However, we got used to it (the noice) and it was entertaining as my wife will stare at the planes as they fly pass over us :) WiFi wasn’t strong enough to get to our room. The signal was so weak. We were told it was general issue. One other thing we didn’t like were the presence of mosquitoes 🦟 We came back with lots of mosquito bites.

we get the room fast , the beach is very close , the staff very friendly

Excellent hosts, can't thank them enough 💖
