Reviews for Giorgi's Blue Apartments
Review 1:Location. The apartments are 20mins from Chania by taxi and there is very little in the way of restaurants in the locality. Have to drive or taxi everywhere. Limited menu in Giorgios and wine was very expensive, compared to other restaurants
Review 2:Lovely setting, beside the sea, with loads of nice areas to sunbathe. Pool and surrounding area very clean and well maintained. Great breakfast. Staff very helpful with any enquires. Apartments are large, comfortable and most have outside areas to relax in
Review 3:Lack of good restaurants within walking distance
Review 4:Sea bathing available direct from the property. Also sunbeds were well sited and plentiful. Proprietor and staff most helpful.
Review 5:There was nothing I didn't like but if you're into going out on the town this is not the place for you. It's north east of Chania about 10km in a tiny town with nothing more than a mini mart.
Review 6:Fantastic place to stay with more than everything we needed. If we come to Crete again we will just stay at Giorgi's. We had a huge room/apartment for an incredibly low price. The swimming hole was awesome and fun as well! Giorgi's is the ultimate place to relax.
Review 7:Very nice hotel. Big room, clean, quiet and very well furnished. Great location. We particularly liked the private cove. Definitely a place to go back again.
Review 8:There can be some noise from planes and at the weekend there are church bells. We still slept great, but it's just something to be aware of.
Review 9:Giorgi's was the perfect place to relax for the week, with lots of things to see and do only a short drive away. The pool and cove were fabulous places to cool off.
Review 10:Nothing bad about our stay but without a car there are not many restaurants within walking distance
Review 11:Peaceful location with beautiful views. Helpful and friendly staff. Lovely pool and access to sea swimming below appartments.
Review 12:Perfect location if you are looking to relax in a quiet peaceful place :) Amazing spot for swimming, good breakfast and not to far from Chania town. Helpful staff at the hotel, ready to give you recommendations.
Review 13:There is no maid service on Sundays and nobody told us so. We asked to have a late checkout at 6:00-7:00am and pay half day extra (the room was not booked for the next 3 days and there was one more room free that day) but the owner refused explaining that with Booking.com we cannot pay half day. Booking.com should fix this.
Review 14:Very nice location if you like a quiet place far from busy beaches, clubs and bars. You need a car if you choose this hotel but I think if you visit Crete you definetely need a car in order to enjoy the beauties of the island. The room was beautiful and the mattresses superb!!
Review 15:No bad experiences but accommodation not within walking distance of bars or restaurents. Lovely breakfast but include fresh fruit
Review 16:Right on the coast with beautiful private cove from apartments for adult and older children to swim, also lovely swimming pool open all day and evening for others and younger children. Beautiful breakfast
Review 17:No restaurant - if you have a car, there are many tourist tavernas in the neighborhood, no problem. Otherwise, Irene's tavern will pick you up (good food, too).
Review 18:Upscale appartments with private (albeit not always inviting - currents may occasionally bring some debris) Mediterranean creek and nice (relatively) large swimming pool, with pool bar (many good cocktails). * Public beach (with waves) within walking distance (sadly, road has no sidewalks, beware) * Good spot to explore Chania & Akrotiri, by car * SOUNDPROOF and tranquil - a rarity in noisy & chaotic Greece!
Review 19:Kind of far away from Shania and you would need a car. Booked my room (#3 ) with "partial sea view" and there was no view AT ALL from inside the room. Standing outside in the balcony, by looking to your very left, you could get a really small glimpse of the ocean.
Review 20:The facility is outstanding. Very clean, well decorated, new furniture, Pool area is awesome. Breakfast was excellent.
Review 21:Only suggestion - do not let guests reserve the cliff seating with towels and personal belongings before and/or after use. They should be present, otherwise should be available to other guests.
Review 22:Overall - an outstanding place to stay!! The staff could not be more welcoming and friendly. The breakfast is more than ample and home cooked every day. The setting is stunningly beautiful and everything is kept clean and pristine.
Review 23:1. Two single beds made into a double bed. 2. The water boiler was not clean.
Review 24:1. Great swimming pool 2. Great swimming area at the sea! great view! beautiful sea and snookering area. 3. Quiet and cosy 4. Great breakfast choice. the orange juice machine is especially good!
Review 25:The only down-side was that the bar was not always manned, as the bar girls often had to do other jobs around the place, so we sometimes would have to wait a while for service.
Review 26:The relaxed atmosphere, the friendly and accommodating staff (particularly the bar girls) and clean and well-maintained apartments all run by warm, friendly and knowledgeable owner, Georgi!
Review 27:Maybe fruit at breakfast??
Review 28:The warm welcome from the staff, the sea swimming in the secret cove and the high standard of accommodation. VERY clean and well maintained. Outstanding.
Review 29:Fabulous modern apartments,wonderful staff, including the lovely cleaners- delicious breakfasts - couldn't fault our stay except for when we had to leave
Review 30:The kitchen in the apartment is minimally stocked with cooking utensils (difficult to prepare more than a very simple meal) and pantry doesn't have any basics (coffee, sugar, etc.). But here is a market nearby where you can pick up what you need.
Review 31:Great balcony overlooking the sea, friendly/helpful staff, huge pool with bar (drinks only, no food), sound of waves crashing into the rocks (especially loved this at night)
Review 32:Bit of a distance from Chania but taxi each way only 15 euro.
Review 33:Apartments were very clean.Staff very friendly and helpful. Beautiful Setting and Pool excellent.
Review 34:The apartments are newly refurbished , the welcome was as warm as the lovely Cretan weather. The location is stunning and the shaded sun loungers scattered across the rocky cove are gorgeous
Review 35:I loved the apartments great staff beautiful pool and just 10 minutes away from Chania. Breakfast and bar was also a plus you do need a car unless u just want to take in the scenery without moving. Forgot to mention the lovely deck chair bays down to the cove all I dreamed it would be
Review 36:The staff was warm and friendly and accommodated every request. The property itself was even more beautiful than we had hoped. Can't wait to come back!
Review 37:It is right under the flight path. My daughter loved it but it might bother others.
Review 38:Clean and comfortable, staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The pool was lovely and had an amazing view over the ocean. Close to Hania, the airport, beaches and places to eat.
Review 39:Since it's secluded, there is not much within walking distance. It's a 13-15 Euro taxi ride each way to and from Chania Old Town. They'll call taxi for you though.
Review 40:Amazing, friendly and above and beyond accommodating staff. Beautiful peaceful ocation with tiki hut umbrella stations on the small cliff with access to the sea. Made me a custom breakfast on the spot when I told her I had to leave early in the morning.
Review 41:I cannot think of anything we did not like.
Review 42:What is there not to like? Pleasant stay, staff was fantastic! the staff waited late in the evening as we had to drive from the main port to Chania. Recommend this location if you ever visit the island of Crete.
Review 43:It seems as though it may carry sound a bit too easily. We were spoken to about our noise level one night while sitting out at the pool area (which has an open bar until 12am). This happened prior to 11p and there were only 4 of us.
Review 44:It was in a convenient setting with a beautiful view of the sea which has its own spot for jumping in for a swim. The breakfast, although the same each morning was delicious.
Review 45:Tub/shower combination was a bit challenging. Some rooms have no balcony or patio. You will want a car here.
Review 46:Beautiful pool and sea views. Wonderful seaside cabanas and grotto. Nice size efficiency apartment.
Review 47:It is a bit isolated if you don't rent a car and there is plane noise.
Review 48:The clean well-furnished apartments, with friendly helpful owner and staff. Excellent breakfasts, super pool and great location by the sea.
Review 49:Downsides were location in that you need to hire a car or get a taxi to get about...you can't walk! And that there was no other food available at the apartments. I think they should have something available even if it's incredibly simple
Review 50:The accomadation was amazing, clean, lovely staff, great pool and cove for a sea swim. Wonderful breakfast provided every day. You cannot fault the accomadation it self, perfect in that sense
Review 51:Friendly helpful staff excellent apartment lovely sitting areas , good views near to airport we were allowed to keep our room as we had a late flight
Review 52:Nothing
Review 53:Wonderful staff incredibly friendly and helpful Lovely location Complete relaxation, lovely pool, superb swimming and snorkelling in cove. Loved breakfasts and pool cocktails. Will definitely return
Review 54:Pool was freezing and unused. We didn't find any restaurants within walking distance. The journey into Chania was quite slow with a lot of traffic. The rooms were fine but not exceptional. Kitchen/living room was very dark and no views.
Review 55:Lovely staff, great breakfast- especially the fresh orange juice, and beautiful views out over the sea. Very peaceful. Excellent value.
Review 56:The location was incredible with a great view of the sea from our balcony and beach chairs all looking out over the sea on different levels past the pool. It was very quiet and yet close to Chania, grocery stores, restaurants, the airport etc... George was very helpful in giving us directions to different beaches and helping us with maps etc. Breakfast each morning was very plentiful and delicious. Can't wait to come back here!!
Review 57:No complaints!
Review 58:The staff, rooms and view was wonderful. Wifi worked perfectly, had a wonderful pool and bar outside and the breakfast was also great. Definitely recommend staying here.
Review 59:You need a car to get about and see things but wasn't a problem for us
Review 60:The stunning view of sunsets The cove and faciLities to sunbathe privately The lovely breakfast The beautiful pool
Review 61:Nothing to dislike about the hotel. The visit we made to nearby Chania town was pleasant and we had a fine dinner, but the main streets were quite crowded with traffic and finding parking was a challenge.
Review 62:We visited here after three busy days in Athens, and the location and change of pace was perfect. The setting is right on the sea front, beautiful landscaping and well designed layout to the rooms, the pool, the outdoor bar, and the private cove for swimming in the sea. Host Georgi takes wonderful care of the place, and gave us the best advise about sites, walks/hikes, and restaurants. can't say enough about what fun it was to stay here.
Review 63:Nothing!
Review 64:Fantastic location (looking straight out to sea) quiet but with the option of a town (Chania) just 20 minutes in a cab. The latter has a lovely Venetian Harbour. Georgi and all his staff (Maria, Maria, Nelly Christiana) and Katerina) are extremely helpful and friendly. I had the benefit of being there while a musician was staying and we had great singalongs, at the outside bar, in the evenings. I will return to Georgi's often. I now feel very rejuvenated after a great holiday at Georgi's fantastic accommodation.
Review 65:Note that the apps with 'partial side sea view' face the back street and cars and thus have no window in the living room only from the bedrooms and the balcony. This should be added to the description to avoid misunderstandings. The great location and excellent outside view and quality compensate for it!
Review 66:Location. Private bay! Quality of beds and the apps we stayed at. Staff makes effort to care of you. Owner very nice person. We consider coming back with the grown up kids next year.
Review 67:We are repeat visitors and Giorgis is our annual treat. It is a beautiful location and George has created a relaxed idyll for his guests. The staff are caring friendly and ensure you have a comfortable stay. We are going back next year !
Review 68:drinks are way too expensive at the poolbar. You are not allowed to bring your own stuff there, which kind of reglements you and sometimes you rather sit in your appartment on the balcony than enjoying the sunset at the pool.
Review 69:beautiful spot, very clean.
Review 70:Having to leave is the only thing I do not like!!!
Review 71:Being in the Travel Industry, I am a bit more critical then most whenreviewing a Hotel. I have been coming to Giorgi's Blue Apts for 3yrs making this my 13th visit! Why do I continue to come here? Becauseit is the best!!! Giorgi and his lovely staff Maria, Nelly, Maria,Katerina,Dina, Rena and Christina are the most Welcoming and HospitableStaff! Always there to do whatever they can to make your stay perfect.The facilities are pristine! A Beautiful Pool area and Pool Bar with anAmazing Sea View. Besides the pool there is a Private Cove for swimmingand snorkeling. The apartments are beautifully decorated, ( most with asea view) comfortable beds and furnishings with a fully equippedkitchen. Daily maid service is provided.The apartments are always cleanto perfection. It is very rare to find Apartment/Hotel that offerDaily Maid Service! This in itself is a luxury. A full breakfast is alsoinclude in the room rate. The breakfast offers a variety of hot and colddishes, fresh squeezed orange juice and delicious Breakfast Cakes bakedby the kitchen staff. The All You Can Eat Breakfast that Giorgi offerswould cost at the very minimum 15 euros per person out in town! TheDaily Maid Service; a Full All You Can Eat Breakfast at an Apartmenttype hotel is unheard of. The value for your money based just on thesetwo services exceeds excellence!! I highly recommend Giorgi's Aptsfor the Perfect Holiday or Buisness Stay. The Staff is there to doanything they can....if you want something just Ask! Trust me,they willgo out of their way for you. At the end of your stay you will leavesmiling and thinking about your Next visit!! Bravo to Giorgi and theLovely Staff!!
Review 72:The hotel is not very central so you must ensure you rent a car to get around. Wifi was very poor in the rooms so you had to go sit at the pool for it to work (works great there).
Review 73:The rooms are all refurbished. They are spacious and very clean. The beds and pillows were so comfortable (the best out of the 6 hotels we stayed at while in Greece on this trip). Full kitchen facilities in the room which was nice. The pool as unobstructed sun all day so great for lazing around.
Review 74:A tiny bit pricy but I think its worth it. Go only if you will have a car
Review 75:Beautiful location despite its a bit remote feom Chania. Beautiful contenporary rooms. Spotless clean. Good facilities. Beautiful little private gulf for swimming. Its surrounded by rocks and bot a sandy beach buy its sooooo beautiful
Review 76:Facilities are a bit old. Breakfast is poor. Bath extremely small and uncomfortable. Overvalued.
Review 77:The staff was ok, ready to help. Quite location. Clean.
Review 78:The quality of the breakfast could be improved, notably the variety of products. I would add more fruit to the buffet. Though the location is nice, it is more or less 20 minutes away from the centre so it is rather unconvenient fro going out in the centre at night.
Review 79:The appartments are nice and the decoration is rather conventional, but the location is very nice and the private beach is just a delight. The staff is very very friendly and always willing to help. I would just add a little bit more fruit to the breakfast. Otherwise, I would strongly recomend this establishement for those who plan a short stay in Chania.
Review 80:Nothing.
Review 81:Beautiful pool. Excellent location near coast with a nice cove to swim in the sea. Away from the chaos in Chania but only a 12 minute drive to the city.
Review 82:A bit off the beaten track and very limited option for eateries unless you want to drive to Chania all the time. But then good Greek food is hard to find and doesn't seem to have moved on from souvlaki and chips!
Review 83:Amazing location with beautiful private cove. Lovely pool/ fresh orange juice each morning a delight/ good breakfasts/ very friendly staff
Review 84:I found the bar expensive, compared to other places in Chania. Staff were often not at the desk to help with genaral requests.
Review 85:Great pool, lovely beach, nice breakfast, helpful staff.
Review 86:The apartments are very small, I wouldn't call two tiny rooms with a tiny kitchen next to them an apartment, the bathroom is the smallest I have ever been. You must have a car.
Review 87:The pool area and the direct access to the sea was wonderful! George and the staff are very helpful.
Review 88:Make sure to request a queen or king bed otherwise you will get two twinbeds pushed together (which is pretty typical for Greece ;) ).
Review 89:-Clean and incredibly lovely decorated -modern appliances and greatcomfort -quiet -good breakfast with fresh prest juice -lovely tanningbeds in private terrace arangements right my the ocean (bring mask andsnorchel-lots to see) -pool area and showers are clean and prettyarranged -well equipped pool bar and great drinks- AMAZING staff!! Super freidnly and helpful . Not fake or short, but truly giving and caring individuals! Made our trip! :) -hotel owner George is incredibly generous and helpful in any situation. A very interesting and plesent man :) great guy!
Review 90:The location on the edge of the sea. The staff were exceptionally friendly. No hesitation in recommending the apartments for a relaxing stay. Note you will need a car. Note excellent restaurant on the road to Stavros, fantastic sunset views.
Review 91:The property being between Chania and the airport. You really need a rental car at this property. The noise from the Chania Airport/military base. There were several fighter jets taking off during our stay, which can't be helped but does take away some of the relaxing atmosphere. Having restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing some distance away, so apart from a small grocery shop that was all that was in walking distance of the apartments.
Review 92:The apartments were well laid out and the kitchen was very good with enough equipment to cook your own meals when desired. The breakfast buffet had variety with fresh fruit, orange juice, and bread. The apartments have a beautiful view of the sea. My family really enjoyed having snorkelling available right at the property.
Review 93:A little far from the city centre. It's a must to have a car. Walls were fairly thin, so if you have a noisy neighbour, could be annoying at night. Would recommend a top floor unit if available.
Review 94:Very spacious and clean room. Beds were relatively comfortable. Beautiful view of the sea from the luxurious pool. Breakfast was good. Best of all was the hospitality provided by Giorgi. Very knowledgeable of the area and will to sit with you for some time to provide his local recommendations.
Review 95:If you live in the first house of four houses in the Illios village, then dont expect totaly privacy around the poolarea. The owners house downbelow and the house right ower can see you. We are a very private family. Its an expensive week and we expect privacy during the holiday. The sun also disapears 18.00 in our house namned Dafni. The house right over us have sun longer at poolarea.
Review 96:The poolarea is excellent. And everything in house is perfect. It feels like home. Its quit in the evenings if you have nice neigbours like we had. The bed is ok. Not to hard. You have good functional aircondition in the bedrooms.
Review 97:The surronding area with unfinishes houses and unprepared gardens. Care hire is a must,because very little offer of good restaurants near.
Review 98:Little and cosy. Very friendly and clever staff. Extraordinary nice breakfast with orange juice directly squeezed in the drinking glass. Wonderfull pool and access to the unbelivable clear and fresh ocean.
Review 99:Our room seemed a bit plain compared to the rest of the place but certainly clean and comfortable. Otherwise absolutely delightful.
Review 100:We showed up with our 3 year old around 11:30 pm. We were greeted by an incredibly friendly lady who, after showing us our room, proceeded to prepare us two ham and cheese toasties and the most delicious Greek salad I've ever tasted. Not to mention the two complimentary aperitifs afterward. That sealed the deal even before the delightful breakfast and wonderful ambiance we experienced the next morning. Let's not forget the private cove for swimming/snorkeling that we enjoyed before checking out the next day. Best one-nighter I've experienced in a long time. I hope to stay there again.
Review 101:Beware of the steps/stairs -- perhaps this is part of greek architectures, but these can be unexpected and high.
Review 102:Lovely location on the sea. Lovely, well equipped, clean place. Very friendly staff. Very peaceful and very quite -- as the owner said, a place for quite families and couples that want to relax and not to party.
Review 103:The surrounding area is depressing with many adjacent sites containing abandoned building projects with building rubble and rubbish everywhere.
Review 104:Actual apartments and facilities were good. If you can ignore the immediate surroundings, the location is picturesque.
Review 105:Georgi and his staff are charming , helpful people. The place is gorgious. You can swim directly from a very well organized private cave. Really fantastic place. Lots of inexpensive and nice restaurants in the area.
Review 106:Everything. Amazing snorkeling in the cove. Great sandy beach a couple minutes away. Loved the bartender and our balcony overlooking the sea. Spectacular sunsets. Loved it. Much better than massive resorts elsewhere.
Review 107:no complaints.
Review 108:Friendly and extremely helpful staff! The location was wonderful, close to Chania and also all the beaches on Akrotiri. Georgi and Maria were so hospitable, even brewing a cup of tea for our daughter at midnight when she didn't feel well. The apartments were spotless and the view was perfect all day long! The private cove with umbrellas and chairs was stunning!
Review 109:Located in a very quite and beautiful place. Especially liked the hotel area near the sea - cozy sunbeds are located right in front / above the sea. The rooms are spacious. Giorgi is very friendly and helpful.
Review 110:Be aware of sea urchins when swimming in that beautiful cave right next to the hotel!
Review 111:This hotel s a real gem: we felt like at home thanks to great hospitality of George and his staff. Hotel is situated right next to the sea and we had possibility to enjoy sunsets every night from our room's balcony. Apartment was clean and equipped with all you could possibly need, breakfast included fresh squeezed juice every morning. The hotel is decorated with good taste. I would certainly recommend this place to everyone!
Review 112:The staff, Annetta and George (the owner) were fantastic!
Review 113:Being able to sit outside in the evening and enjoy wine and a take-away pizza! The fact that Giorgis does not do meals is an advantage.
Review 114:Beautiful place, excellent staff.
Review 115:Management and Staff very good, friendly and helpful. Facilities and swimming pool excellent; highly recommendable.
Review 116:The only problem was the nearby airport and NATO airbase.
Review 117:Wonderful location by the sea.
Review 118:beautiful location excellent facilities and very helpful staff
Review 119:Great in every way Second time at giorgi's We love this place
