Had the most relaxing time at the Emi Seaside. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. Wonderful setting right on the beach, pool area and breakfast and lunch spot. Rooms spotless. Restaurants and supermarkets in the road behind. We went into Heraklion a couple of times to shop and mooch. Would definitely return.

Emi Seaside is a great location because it was not in commercial area but right on the beach. It’s very private and less noisy and tourists. Breakfast was good and when I left, they even packed my breakfast lunch to go. It’s a very nice family run hotel and would stay here again. It’s a simple hotel. Although no gym, it’s right on the beach, so it’s perfect to do your morning stretch and cardio.

Wow! George has set a new benchmark in Cretan hospitality. I have travelled around the globe but Emi Seaside is one of those rare places you feel like your’e visiting a friend’s home. George with his mum and dad were so lovely, kind and went above in beyond to make my stay relaxing. The room was spacious and plotless, great breakfast buffet. The hotel has its own private beach access with sunbeds and umbrellas. When I am in Crete again I am staying here again. ps. Ask George for dining options around the area, he has some amazing recommendations.

Γιώργος, his mother and the rest of the team were extremely kind and attentive. In addition to how beautiful the property was, the resort also offered beachside drink and food service. The drinks were great, (especially Γιώργος’s Pina colada) and affordable. The rooms were cleaned extremely well everyday and the breakfast was solid, not too heavy and not too light. Additionally, an amazing creperie is right across the street that is open late for a late night snack everyday except Monday!

We stayed here for a few nights and had a wonderful time! The hotel is very nice and the beach was amazing. The owner, George, is very warm and inviting. The whole team at Emi Seaside is kind and take great care to ensure the hotel is pristine- and George himself makes the best strawberry daiquiris we have had!

Emi Seaside felt like paradise! The beachfront was absolutely gorgeous, with plenty of private chairs available for guests to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The pool was also wonderful. Our room was spacious and exceptionally clean when we arrived. George was incredibly friendly and hospitable. He genuinely takes the time to connect with each guest and make everyone feel at home. You can tell how hard he works—you’ll see him constantly running around making sure everything is taken care of! The breakfast buffet was another highlight, with a great variety of options, including eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, bread, coffee, tea, juice, and delicious baked goods. The location was also fantastic, with lots of restaurants and souvenir shops within easy walking distance. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily come back.

Staff provided excellent experience and were very helpful during our entire stay. Free onsite parking was actually in an adjacent parking lot that the hotel owns. I recommend going directly to the hotel check-in desk first. After check-in you can turn around at the end of their driveway to exit and move to designated spot next to hotel. Staff provided 5-star service.

Wonderful stay, great location, with welcoming and helpful hosts. I booked one night for my family, and stayed a couple of nights as a solo traveler, and it was ideal. Great private beach, comfortable and clean rooms, delicious breakfast and tiropitas, bar access for the pool or the beach. Great place to hang out, also close to the airport, Knossos, and the old city. Would highly recommend.

The staff, location and beach were all so nice we decided to extend our stay an extra day. The Manager once again was able to make arrangements for us to stay in our same room.

Our stay at the hotel was excellent. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. Breakfast is buffet-style with a wide variety and constant replenishment. There are never delays or waiting due to lack of products. A big plus of the hotel is its direct access to the beach, with sunbeds and umbrellas included. If you get tired of the sand, there is also a beautiful deck with a pool, sunbeds, and tables. Whether on the beach or by the pool, there is permanent bar service. But the real golden touch comes from George and his parents. They welcome all guests with warmth and kindness, always attentive to every detail. In case of any unforeseen event, they show great willingness and professional experience in solving problems. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return. Thank you for such wonderful hospitality!
