We have just spent a week at Cavo Spada and we absolutely loved it! We arrived very late at night and were given bottles of water and there were fresh snacks in our room. The room was fantastic. Spacious, clean, big balcony overlooking the sea and the mountains and the bathroom is enormous with a bath and shower cubicle. We were All Inclusive and the food was delicious. I am a vegetarian and the choice was excellent. So many options plus the deserts were amazing. I have to mention the Banana Bread available at breakfast. The best I’ve ever eaten. I’m missing it already! The beach is stones/pebbles as pointed out in the hotel’s description but we didn’t care. The views are stunning. Mountains and clear sea. So many sunbeds around the pool and on the beach. Plenty for everyone. Every staff member we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Reception, housekeeping, restaurant, bars. Honestly, an amazing team. In the evenings there was live music, Greek dancers, a saxophonist, a violinist. Otherwise just a lovely chilled vibe in the main bar. We took the bus into Chania twice and once into Kolymvari. The buses are frequent, cheap and the bus stop is less than five minutes from the hotel. We wanted to stay longer at Cavo Spada and we recommend it highly if you want to relax and receive excellent customer service. Thank you everyone at the hotel for a wonderful holiday.
