I stayed at Hotel Yakinthos for one week in April 2017 - my first time in Crete/Greece. The hotel is immaculate and beautifully presented with fresh flowers in the foyer and breakfast room. The pool, although small - is again immaculate and looks inviting for a dip - although it was a bit too cold for this in April. Sun loungers around the pool were relaxing. My room (ensuite, twin room) was very comfortable; with my own private balcony on the corner of the building. The only irritation was the noise from traffic - but it's not too bad and can't be helped - you get used to it!
Beautiful interior styling - everything is white marble; clean, fresh and unfussy.
The buffet breakfast was amazing - especially the large glass of fresh orange juice every morning. Greek fare such as yoghurt, feta, olives, tomatoes, tzatziki canapes as well as cereals, loads of fresh fruit, bread, toast, jam, honey, croissants, bacon and egg and omlette!! I may have put on some weight during my stay...
The staff are all friendly, helpful and very professional with varying levels of English. I would love to return to stay here some day. Fridge/ice cube tray, safe, tv and hairdryer in my room were much appreciated too.
