I had a wonderful stay at the nest. A special place with amazing staff who go above and beyond to make your stay special. My room was lovely with a balcony that had incredible views of the sea and the poolside/spa were very relaxing and well maintained. Can’t recommend enough. I wish I was staying longer!

Chilled peaceful stay

Beautiful small boutique hotel Nestled high up in the hills so a car or quad bike is needed. Very chilled. No entertainment or anything so perfect for those who want to relax Downsides were the bed was rock hard and there wasnt a full length mirror. The safe was at the very bottom of the wardrobe so not good if you are elderly or cant bend. It should be put in a better place

We spent a lovely 12 days at The Nest and couldn’t have wished for a better place to relax and unwind. Perfectly located up on the hill with amazing views and a lovely breeze to take the edge off the heat. The pool area is beautiful with loads of space and sunbeds. So much variety with the food and Greek night on Sunday is a feast. What really sets this place apart is the staff, all of whom are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to friends at the end of our stay. We’ll be back.

Amazing

The Nest Resort is one of the best places I've ever stayed. The 2-bedroom villa was incredible - it was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and well-stocked with everything you could need. Having a pool to ourselves was just great. Breakfast was lovely, with lots of local foods to try. The location is nice - it's away from the crowds and you have a sense of serenity around you (although you may want a car if you want to explore). But the best thing was the incredible service - Klaudia and her team were amazing. When we arrived early in the morning we were weary after the overnight ferry, and Klaudia immediately made sure were fed and in our rooms as soon as possible. During our stay, nothing was too much for her - she was so helpful and generous, and it was an absolute pleasure to stay at The Nest.

I spent 3 days at the nest resort and I had a great stay there! I came during shouder season, one week before the hotel closes for the olive harvest. It was the perfect time for me as there were not many travellers staying at the hotel. The staff was really nice. They were always available to help me whenever I needed help. Thank you to all the hotel staff and particularly Klaudia, Alex and the two gentlemen doing the diner service. The food served at breakfast and diner was delicious. I will definitely come back again and recommend the hotel to my friends. Anne-Marie

The Nest is perfection. The relaxed vibe with every luxury is just what we needed. The staff are simply wonderful - warm, friendly, thoughtful. I booked a massage at the Spa and it was excellent. Everything we could want or imagine was taken care of and we were so impressed that we returned for our final night on Crete. Highly recommend Halcyon restaurant too - food is exceptional! I will stay here again on my next visit.

De eerste indruk van dit hotel is zeer misleidend: het hotel is zeer trendy ingericht maar de beleving was voor ons alles behalve. We hadden dit hotel speciaal gekozen voor de rust maar we kregen een kamer op het niveau van de receptie met een terras in het verlengde van het pad naar het zwembad: je had dus totaal geen rust overdag en geen privacy. Wisselen van kamer, eventueel zelfs met een toeslag, was niet mogelijk. We waren over het algemeen zeer ontgoocheld over ons verblijf vooral gezien de reviews die we hadden gelezen: - kamer niet proper en de badkamer werd geen enkele keer deftig gepoetst tijdens ons 4-daagse verblijf - schimmel aan badkamerraam en zeepdispenser die niet werkte - sauna en hamam echt geen aanrader: er hangt een vieze geur en de tegels van een dompelbad lagen los - ligzetels aan zwembad: randen heel vies van gemorste dranken en onder de ligzetels lag er glas. Handdoeken pas om 11u beschikbaar. - ontbijt: je hebt alles wat je moet hebben, maar de smaken van warme gerechten waren gemiddeld. Ook was er geen vers fruitsap. - ligging hotel: je hebt een auto nodig om naar het strand te gaan. Te voet is mogelijk maar totaal niet aangenaam en ook gevaarlijk langs de grote baan. - personeel vriendelijk, vooral aan de receptie Mits de nodige aandacht voor netheid en hygiëne zou dit hotel wel een pareltje kunnen zijn.

Die Unterkunft war wie auf den Bildern im Internet dargestellt. Durch die Lage am Hang hat man einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf das Meer! Das Frühstücksbuffet am Morgen war toll und hat eine gute Variation geboten. Es ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen eine Auto zu mieten, wenn man zum Strand möchte. Alles in allem hat uns der Urlaub im The Nest Resort sehr gut gefallen.

Wir waren zu neunt unterwegs und unser Flug hatte Verspätung, wodurch wir das Abendessen verpasst hätten. Doch nach einer kurzen Mitteilung an das Team wurden wir überrascht: Die freundlichen Mitarbeiter stellten kurzerhand ein Buffet für uns alle in den Kühlschrank unserer Villa. So war unser Abend gerettet. Die Mitarbeiter waren generell äußerst herzlich und haben unseren Kindern jeden Wunsch erfüllt. Besonders schön für die Kinder war die tägliche Fahrt mit dem Golfcart nach dem Abendessen zurück zur Villa sowie der private Pool – eindeutig die Highlights ihres Urlaubs. Der Ausblick war einfach atemberaubend. Wenn es überhaupt etwas zu verbessern gibt, dann vielleicht die Qualität des Obstes, die an manchen Tagen etwas besser hätte sein können, und das Fehlen der Butter an einem Tag. Dennoch vergeben wir 5 von 5 Sternen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt geliebt und sind mit wehmütigen Herzen nach Hause geflogen. Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
