Awesome house!

The property was unbelievable. We were 13 people and we never felt cramped for even a second. There were almost as many bathrooms as guests! The pool is fantastic, so is the tennis court, inside and outside kitchens and dining areas, gym, spa etc. The staff was fantastic, available at any time day or night. If you want a perfect place to vacation with a large group of family and friends, I highly recommend this house!

Stunning Resort Villa with every amenity imaginable!

We stayed here for a week long celebration. The villa and staff are extraordinary! The whole group had an amazing time. The architecture flows from open spaces to mix, mingle and play to private areas to relax and recharge. Bonus is the many recommendations for private chef, tours, cars, massage therapists, etc. that are familiar with the house and amenities. The only cons are that the pictures are a bit misleading since the view isn’t as clear as shown. There are power lines in front of the pool that distract from the natural beauty of the sea. Additionally, the villa is in between a house that is not in the best shape and overlooks the side of this property and on the other side is a field that smelled a bit of manure when the wind was blowing in our direction. There is not much to do right around the villa so if you’re looking to explore more of crete consider renting a car since taxis are pricey or book private tours. The island is wonderful, with welcoming locals and amazing activities and food!

Just amazing!!

We were a group of 10 adults and one 5 month old. Mostly female identifying, black people. Some queer and/or partnered. The owners and staff made us feel right as home! The daily housekeeping is amazing and the ladies loved our baby! We used Best rental cars who delivered and picked up our cars with great rates. Chef Kostas prepared 2 meals a day for our group, and we even set up tours, yoga, and massages with the help of the Think Villa concierges. I recommend having cars or a driver, and visiting later in the summer. It was pretty chilly when we went so we didn’t get to use the outdoor pool at all. The house is also about an hour from both airports, and ThinkVilla gave us the contact info for a trusted taxi service. We were able to arrange several pickups and drop offs at both airports. Thank you for an amazing stay!!

Hermes Grand Luxury Beachfront Villa & Spa-Private Beach Resort Turkish Hammam & Sauna

Dealing with the people at the villa was absolutely disgusting and ridiculous. When we arrived on Sept 22nd the Turkish Hammam & Sauna was not working, I was informed that someone would be there the next day to fix the control panel. Well that never happened. We didn't have enough towel for our guest and there was only 1 ironing board for 14 people which was on the lower level. We had our wedding reception at the villa so people had to run up and down 2 flights of stairs to use the ironing board. Some of my quest were over 75 so this was a bit challenging for them. The temperature in the jacuzzi was not warm enough. We tried to use it and it never really got hot. The pillows in all the bedrooms were cheap and flat like pancakes. They should have been replaced years ago. Plus the one in my room had a funny smell. The Bathroom in the villa are tiny. Not what I would expect for a villa this size. I had to complain to even get housekeeping service after being there 4 days. I would never recommend this place to anyone based on the nasty attitude of the villa host. I requested some type of compensation and was told. I literally cursed the people out in emails because after voicing my frustrations and complaints they came back with canned answers basically telling me they were going to do anything to resolve my issues. The neighborhood where the villa located is pitiful. Abandoned buildings up and down the road so there is not much to see in either direction other than water.
