Top Rapaniana Hotel Reviews

Porto Veneziano Hotel

Porto Veneziano Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Porto Veneziano Hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth, setting the tone for a fantastic time in Chania. The hotel’s position right on the edge of the Venetian Harbor is unbeatable. Waking up to breathtaking views of the water and the iconic lighthouse was a daily highlight, and being just a short, peaceful walk away from the bustling heart of the Old Town offered the best of both worlds. The room was pristine, stylishly furnished, and exceptionally comfortable, providing a quiet sanctuary after a full day of exploring Crete. The daily breakfast spread was phenomenal, packed with delicious local Cretan specialties, fresh ingredients, and exceptional coffee enjoyed right by the waterfront. What truly elevated our experience was the incredible service. The entire team went out of their way to offer personalized recommendations, answer every question, and ensure every detail was taken care of with a smile. If you are planning a trip to Chania, look no further than Porto Veneziano. We cannot wait to return and would recommend it in a heartbeat!"

Corinna Mare

Corinna Mare

10/10 Excellent
"For starters the staff at Corinna Mare is exceptional - they really look after you and take care of you and best of all super genuine and polite and nice! The property is always well maintained, the beach is literally in their backyard and the dual pools is bonus. One thing you must do is have dinner there - I promise you it is so worth it if you have dorado fish - chefs kiss! The roof we had near the front adjacent to the gate and it had two balconies - one in the bedroom and one in the kitchenette/living space. Used them both at night and it’s such a peaceful treat to have after a long day of excursions and driving. I would definitely come back and stay - I don’t have anything negative to really say here. They even do your laundry for a small fee! Excellent job Corinna Mare team!"

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"Decent hotel overall which ticks all the boxes without quite reaching any particular 'wow' factor. The private loungers on the beach were a highlight and the beach is clean with good sand, clear water and great for swimming. Theres also 2 additional pools which are decent and not busy even in peak season when we visited. Being an adults only hotel meant that it was peaceful without noisy kids taking over, however there are a lot of screeching cicadas in the area which are a bit like sitting next to a car alarm especially on the room's balcony area. We opted for half board which was unnecessary as we went into town for dinner, the evening buffet was ok but not amazing, breakfast buffet was good though. From chatting to locals this is one of the bigger hotels in the area and one of the few adults only. Its well regarded locally but having been to varoius other 5 star places it wasnt exceptional, but for Chania its a very good option. The hotel is well located with a handy public bus service into old town; Chania town is very pleasant and has a lot of good places to eat but the best restaurants are away from the harbour. Overall an enjoyable stay."
