Place was very nice, although our room didn't have any doors on our shower; made for very wet floors lol. Mattress was very firm, but other than that, location is right on the beach which is fantastic! You can rent a beach chair (minimum of 6 euros spend limit), and the staff were all very friendly!

Great location, on a beautiful sandy beach with a few tavernas close by. Quiet. This hotel was rated a 4 star but it would be lucky to get 2 star. The morning buffet breakfast is the worst we have experienced in over 50 years of travelling to Crete and other parts of Greece.

Breakfast was a highlight, good voice of food. Maria did an excellent job with the cooking and presentation of food. Ekaterini was immaculate with her cleaning efforts & preparation/presentation of our room. Overall, our stay at Yria Beach Hotel was both relaxing, quiet & close to the beach, restaurants & facilities. Highly recommended.

From the beginning, it felt like a family atmosphere. Not just with incredible Greek friendliness, but you really felt like the employees cared and were personally invested in your experience. A local village feel with just about everything you need nearby: store, 5-6 good restaurants, stellar beach. The hotel itself was excellent for those who want to do nothing but relax. Great bar and kitchen with reasonable prices and good quality food. Morning breakfast was nice. You don’t go there if you are expecting new and luxury facilities but you go there for a great vibe and beach experience. Beach was sandy and pretty clean with chairs and umbrellas to which the hotel would deliver food and drink to. All around very happy!

The location was amazing. The house keeping was fantastic. Katarina, who made our room, was both very nice and kind, but also very good at keeping the rooms fresh and clean. The service at the hotel was good, but it was very hard to get in touch with the hotel in before hand. They didn't answer to e-mail until serveral days afterwards and they didn't answer the phone at all. The hotel was very cozy. Not luxurious, but we found it very charming and cute.

The proximity to the beach being right across the road was excellent.The windows were all covered in a white film which made it impossible to see out. There are over 20 stairs to get to the rooms - and suitcases must be carried up. Not ideal for over 70 year olds. There were not enough lights in the room - no light at all in kitchen. Kitchen had no dishes or cutlery, no microwave - but did have a fridge. The breakfast was ok if you wanted fruit and cereal but the eggs and meat options were not good at all. The cleaning lady is very nice and friendly.
