Kyma Suites Beach Hotel occupies a restored 1970s structure that once served as a modest seaside retreat, recently renovated to meet contemporary hospitality standards while preserving its vintage Cretan character.

Stayed for 7 nights in a Junior Suite with Sea view. 1. The staff was really polite most of the time smiling and being professional. Definitely the biggest upside of this hotel. 2. Don’t expect it to be a luxurious 5 star experience. You may have all the amenities required to have this rating, but it feels like a 4 star. 3. The location - Excellent. Easy to go to the beach or city centre. Noise might be an issue if you leave the balcony door open. Close it and it will be fine. 4. The room - Spacious and with a huge balcony. The bathroom lacks privacy though, since it has only a sliding glass door. 5. The food - Really subjective opinion - a good selection of foods everyday, but I had days where I couldn’t find anything to my liking. I opted for the grill area more times than not. Shoutout to Vasilis ( hope I am writing his name right). A really great guy and a talented cook 🤗
