Nautilus Bay Hotel

Great hotel within steps of the beach. What makes this hotel is the staff! Wonderful people. The room was so clean! Breakfast was great! Different options every morning. Loved having the staff come to the beach and offer drinks. We ate dinner there the first night we got in after traveling 27 hours and it was great! Room was very large. Loved sitting on the balcony every morning looking at the water!

My twelth long stay (2 weeks +) in the last ten years at this friendly hotel in Kissamos.... Why I keep returning to this property ? - Great location on a sandy beach (30 mtrs) - perfect for swimming also for kids, friendly helpful staff and owners, large clean room with a great 180 degree view of the bay if you choose a Superior Studio with Sea View (Rooms 29 and 28 are the best), wonderful breakfast with a great selection of hot and cold dishes, well cooked tasty meals for lunch and dinner by the resident chef Fortiny - in addition there are a selection of good restaurants along the promenade only a few hundred meters away and also further along the beach the other way, well appointed very clean large rooms with efficient air-conditioning and a kitchenette, a comfortable bed, good wi-fi and a large balcony with table and chairs. Free sun beds and parasoles on the beach for guests...the hotel supplies beach towels to guests. Free parking. Good bus service available. Many friendly talkative fellow guests ! - one never feels lonely even when travelling alone. Always some interesting people around...from all over the world. An outdoor bar and a great good-sized pool. A mini-market and a large supermarket nearby within walking distance. A wonderful base for visiting the famous beaches and sights of western Crete. A big thank you to all the staff and owners for another very enjoyable three week stay now from late May to mid June. What more could you want ? R

The staff are exceptional, the reception lady and the man forgot his name are very helpful. Thanks for your service We sure be visiting again. The area next to the beach couldn't be placed better then that

Our room had one of the best views I have ever had in a hotel! 180 degree views of the sea, stunning! The room was also very comfortable, excellent AC and a very comfortable bed. The hotel is right beside the beach where you can sunbathe all day, there is also a pool that gets the sun until about 3pm. Great service from the team & a nice experience. The only area of improvement needed is the breakfast: there isn’t enough variety (more egg options please) and it runs out quickly (especially close to the 10am finish). There are some lovely restaurants nearby and the hotel is in easy walk of the town.

We (mum, dad, two teen daughters) shared a room with side sea view for a week. The room had a kitchenette with fridge, two sofa beds, a huge double bed in the master bedroom, and a perfectly functional bath/shower room. Plus two balconies. Plenty of space for us all. Two air conditioners (one for the living area, one for the bedroom) kept us as cool as we liked. The staff are all wonderful. The bar staff make regular (short) journeys to the beach to make sure we're not thirsty and Izabela, who runs the show, is happy to advise or order you a taxi. Despite being full, the hotel, and Kissamos in general, never felt busy. Always loungers available by the pool or on the beach a few steps away. A very calm, relaxing, stress free holiday. Oh, and there are cats. Which is a bonus. All very chilled and happy to say hello.

A lovely hotel in so many ways ! Great staff and owners, location by sandy beach, nice pool, very well prepared food in their restaurant including an extensive breakfast spread.....Are other restaurants nearby. Clean & comfortable large rooms with good wi-fi. Good base for exploring western Crete and the famous beaches. A tranquil place. A very international selection of guests - always someone to chat with even when travelling alone and learn something new. I have had many great stays here. Stayed two weeks this time in June 2023. A big thanks to all staff and Izabela / George !
