Gonia Monastery

Truly enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were also clean and nice. Can’t beat the view. Would recommend

The reception area doesn't look very nice, but once you go inside the property and grounds, it's another world. The property grounds were beautiful with good amenities like a spa, gym, and pools. There is a pool bar and a restaurant on-site. Parking was free and plentiful. The room we stayed in was spacious with a large balcony to enjoy the ocean view and to have a glass of wine with the lovely ocean breeze. Very good options for breakfast. The area is quiet and right across the end of a beach. All in all, a very nice stay. I would consider staying here again if I come back to the area.

We had the most incredible time at Phos Hotel! Me and my best friend booked Phos Hotel for our yearly girls’ holiday and we were just blown away by the service, cleanliness and friendliness here. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and exactly as pictured - it’s really peaceful and relaxing as it’s not a huge hotel which we prefer. The staff were incredible and always went above and beyond for us! Maria and Petros were both fantastic, so kind and helpful, printing off the bus timetable, booking excursions and giving us recommendations of places to go! Akis on the bar and the security guy were all so friendly and made us feel so welcome and safe! Our room was spotless (and continued to be, housekeeping was fantastic!), we had a view over the pool, which was glorious to wake up to every day. Breakfast was lovely with lots of variety, and again the staff were super friendly and took good care of us. The location was perfect for us as we wanted easy access to the beach, but also the ability to be able to get into Chania easily by public transport! Chania is a €2 20 minute bus journey away, so super easy and cheap to get to! We also went to Rethymno which was just over an hour away by bus and only about €7 (you have to go to Chania first and get the bus from there!). We just had the most amazing time here, wish we could come back already!! Would definitely recommend!
