01 · In a sentence

Aulus Chania Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton in Stavros 731 00, open JuneSeptember.

Aulus Chania Resort stands apart with its position as a Curio Collection property—Hilton's independent luxury brand—offering personalized service without cookie-cutter standardization.

Located in Stavros on Crete's northwest coast, this 4.2-star rated hotel provides direct beach access and private event spaces that overlook the Cretan Sea.

The property combines on-site accommodations with customizable wedding packages, eliminating the complexity of coordinating separate venues and hotels.

We stayed here for two nights due to close proximity to a wedding venue. The hotel is well designed, the room was very comfortable and quiet and the views were amazing. Pool area was great, and I liked the separate quieter area with sun loungers by the sea. The service was great, all staff seemed friendly and very helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is happy to explore the island by car and prefers a more remote, quiet setting away from a busy town. It is worth noting that the food options seemed quite limited. The resort is in a beautiful location but there is nothing nearby, besides the airport. It takes about 30 mins to drive to Chania town. The gym felt quite small for a hotel of this size and the yoga mats were all dirty. However, it is open 24/7, so it never felt crowded.
