"Ana and Dora where super helpful in coordinating transportation to adjacent towns and provide great recommendations as to where to go and what to do. Very professional staff. "
"Great family run Hotel in the heart of Sissi. Really nice outside pool and pool bar. We were looked after from.the minute we arrived and nothing was too much trouble.
We will definitely return.

"Great accommodation, staff are wonderful. Breakfast was delicious! Additional food and bar drinks are pricey compared to town, not helped by poor exchange rate. Would definitely recommend, lovely walk into town. "
"Die Unterkunft war der Bewertung entsprechend.Das Personal freundlich und höflich. Es gab nichts auszusetzen. Für einen einwöchigen Aufenthalt vollkommen ok"
"Freundliches Personal, gutes Essen, zwei Pools. Liegt direkt am Meer, Baden ist aber aufgrund der Felsen nicht möglich.
Das Gym ist leider im benachbarten Hotel und ist nur für Erwachsene zugänglich.
Waren mit dem Aufenthalt sehr zufrieden. "
"**Disappointing Experience with "Sea View" Room**
We booked a "Sea View" room, paying extra to ensure we could look directly out onto the ocean, as advertised. However, upon arrival, our room faced a building, and we could only see the sea by looking to the side, which was far from the expectations set by the photos associated with our room category. When we raised this issue with the service desk, they showed us another room, but the view was obstructed by a large palm tree, making it...
"Very much enjoyed staying at this property. The location was perfect, right on the beach. The food was yummy and the staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything!"
"We had a very enjoyable stay at Sun Village for 2 weeks. The staff were very friendly, the rooms very clean and the hotel very quiet considering how central it is to Malia."

"Beautiful Hotel in a Great Location, But Some Details Let It Down
We recently stayed at Castello Boutique Suites in Sissi, Crete to celebrate our anniversary, and overall, we had a very good holiday. The hotel made a wonderful gesture by upgrading us to a larger suite with a private side pool, which felt so special and really set the tone for our stay. The suite itself was stylish and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent every morning, and the staff were consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The location couldn’t be better — just a 2-minute walk from the charming port of Sissi, with plenty of tavernas and shops nearby. That said, as this is marketed as a five-star hotel, we were a little disappointed by some details.
Positives:
– Thoughtful anniversary upgrade to a suite with private pool.
– Beautiful, modern, and spacious room.
– Fantastic location (2 minutes from Sissi port).
– Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice and quality.
– Friendly, professional, and welcoming staff.
– Relaxed, peaceful atmosphere throughout.
Negatives:
– Private pool jets and lights didn’t work; nothing was fixed during our stay.
– Pool needed topping up and sides had algae.
– No towel hooks in the bathroom; “do not disturb” system broken.
– Daily housekeeping, but balcony wasn’t cleaned in 8 nights.
– Cups and glasses not refreshed — had to wash them ourselves. No blinds/curtains: poolside window let in sun at 5am, back window was lit at night, affecting sleep and"
"A couple of minor things to note from the hotel description; They do not operate an airport shuttle bus, and there is no car parking on site. However, there is plenty of parking in the vicinity of the hotel.
The hotel itself is absolutely perfect as far as I am concerned. It is small enough as to never seem overcrowded, even at full capacity. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Also, the bed was probably the most comfortable I've slept in when away from home.
As for the staff, they are attentive and helpful.

"La cucina orribile. L' acqua non è compresa nella mezza pensione. 3 euro una bottiglia d'acqua, 4 euro frizzante. Nel buffet abbiamo visto capelli qua e là. La struttura avrebbe bisogno di maggiore pulizia e manutenzione. Animazione inesistente. La struttura è fronte mare, ma non puoi fare il bagno perché è roccioso. Nel mio voucher Expedia c'era scritto che avremmo ricevuto un omaggio e un drink di benvenuto. Abbiamo chiesto in reception e ci hanno detto che è un errore di Expedia, hanno anche fotografato il voucher per segnalare ad Expedia.it questo errore. Per scusarsi ci hanno promesso una bottiglia di vino e della frutta. Li abbiamo ricevuti 2 giorni dopo su sollecitazione. La mattina dopo hanno pulito la camera e portato via il piatto con la frutta. La camera con jacuzzi era piccolissima e la bambina dormiva sulla brandina. Jacuzzi inutilizzabile durante il giorno per il troppo sole. Dopo 4 giorni di permanenza ci hanno chiesto se tutto andasse bene. Ci hanno cambiato la stanza, dandocene una più grande, con lettini e jacuzzi coperta da tetto. L' ultimo giorno, dunque, abbiamo usufruito di una stanza migliore. Sinceramente molto deludente. "
"Very clean and comfortable room. Staff helpful and friendly. Very crowded pool area with people smoking and drinking alcohol at breakfast so for this reason I would not consider returning. "
