My wife and I can honestly say this was the best holiday we have had for many years. On arrival we were warmly greeted and our luggage taken to our room. The room (384) overlooked one of the many pools and had a great view of the sea with the beach less than 50 yards away. Plenty of free sunbeds available on the beach and by the pools. We ate in all of the restuarants including a dedicated greek and italian. The all inclusive price included all drinks (including international brands) and food at normal meal times in the restuarants as well as from the many bars between 1030 and 2400. The rooms and the whole complex were spotlessly clean and staff seemed to take a pride in ensuring guests enjoyed their stay.

Having just returned from a week's holiday staying at the Nana Beach in Hersonissos Crete, I felt that I just had to post a review about this Hotel and it's facilites.

As a large Party including 7 adults, 3 children and 1 infant we searched for a hotel that would accomodate all of our needs. The Nana Beach was simply perfect.

When we arrived at the Nana Beach, in the early hours of the morning, we were greeted with food and drink and made extremely welcome. Due to the time of the night we arrived at the hotel it was a shock to see sheer size of the hotel by day. What a beautiful setting!! The 'Nana' (as the locals call it) is right on the beach with it's very well kept gardens, 9 swimming pools, terraces with sunbeds and even a church.

There is so much to see and do and you don't even need to leave the hotel complex.

The food is excellent and has numerous restaurants and snack bars to try - The Greek Taverna, Zorba's, the Italian Restaurant, Firenze and Poseidon, the Fish Restaurant are a definate must! Ice Cream is always available and in the afternoon cake is served

There are bars everywhere within the complex and whatever your tipple (alcoholic or not, branded and local) you are sure to find it at the Nana! The cocktails are a must to try, along with Raki and Ouzo...Not together though!

Be prepared for lots of 'foreigners' as the English are in a real minority. The Entertainment is mainly in German and the hotel's guest are too!!!!!

The Nana has it's own Scuba Diving Centre, Skuba Kreta. Although the hotel offers all guests at the Nana an introductory Scuba Lesson I decided to book a 'Try Dive' which cost 60 Euros, this included training and the use of their equipment. If you are staying at the Nana Beach and have ever fancied trying Scuba Diving make sure you try it while you are here...It truly is amazing and an experience, one that I will never forget!!!

The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to Stallis and a short bus journey Malia. If you are tempted to take the excursion to Spinalonga Island with the hotel DONT!!! It is a lot cheaper if you catch a bus (the stop is right opposite the hotel and runs every 30 mins) into Agios Nikolaos and change buses and go to Elounda right opposite where the bus drops you off is the harbour where the you will find the boats to Spinalonga Island (last boat trip 4:30 p.m.).

If you have chosen Hotel Nana Beach for your holiday you truly will not be dissappointed. What a wonderful place that has made some very happy memories!!!!

Hope you enjoy it as much as we all did!!!!!!

Happy Holidays!!!!!

...but entertainment could be better, food and drink choice great. Watersports great, pools great, if you want a holiday tucked away from the noise it's great and not to far from the madness a short taxi ride away. Great for couples and families very relaxed atmosphere, great Jewellery shop in the hotel!
