KIANI BEACH

Great resort, everything you need on your doorstep. We had a lovely room right next to the pool which was great and very convenient. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, lots on offer but no pressure to get involved. The food is unreal, all 3 restaurants have a different theme each night (the Italian theme was our favourite). There’s even a shop on site which was great. The beach pool has plenty of activities and hence was a little louder but the long pool is a little quieter and great if you are a keen swimmer as it’s perfect for swimming lengths. We really enjoyed the fact that you can get fresh crepes by the pool too! We found Christina very nice and helpful.

Brilliant staff all welcoming and lovely, had a cooking experience with Nicholas he was wonderful

We are currently staying at the hotel and would like to share our experience. The hotel itself is well-maintained, and the staff are generally friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and tidy; however, the air conditioning is not functioning properly. We have two rooms. Room one has both air conditioning and a ceiling fan, room two has neither. Fortunately, we were able to request an additional fan from reception, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the food and entertainment offerings have been a significant disappointment. The breakfast and lunch options are repetitive and offer very little variety, with the same dishes being served every day. The selection of snacks available throughout the day is also limited and lacks variation. The dinner concept, which is based on different themes, has unfortunately not met our expectations. In our opinion, this is the least satisfactory all-inclusive experience we have had so far. The variety is limited, and the overall quality of the food is below the standard we would expect from an all-inclusive resort. We are now halfway through our holiday, but we have chosen to eat outside the hotel on several occasions because of the disappointing food experience. This is unfortunate, as we had hoped to enjoy the all-inclusive facilities during our stay. The evening entertainment programme is also of relatively low quality and could benefit from significant improvement. In particular, the Greek evening on Wednesday was disappointing. The performance did not meet expectations, and many guests left quite early. Overall, while the hotel itself and the staff are positive aspects of our stay, the food, snacks, and evening entertainment have greatly affected our experience. Based on our stay so far, we would not choose to return to this hotel in the future.

I recommend staying at this hotel. The rooms are in very good condition with air conditioning, the hotel has direct access to the beach. Beautiful views of the sea and mountains are provided. When it comes to dining, we especially recommend restaurant no. 3 (farthest from the beach) for its low traffic, the most delicious food prepared by Chef Nikos, and the helpful staff and lovely manager Kristina.

Georgios and his team in restaurant 1 have looked after us very well during our stay here. The team work very hard, keep the place spotless, are very friendly and attentive. All of the staff - reception, cleaning staff beach bar staff cannot do enough for you, are extremely friendly and welcoming. Lovely family resort, perfect location by the beach 🏖️

A superb stay. The hotel (in general), rooms, and facilities are excellent, very clean and dupportive, friendly staff. Activities are great both during the day and evenings. Food is exquisite and fresh. Very recommendable.

Our first holiday with our little daughter and it was amazing. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the food, to the room, the animators, the pools, the proximity to the sea. We loved the hotel so much that we will be back soon and will probably be back regularly.

one of the best hotels!!all it was fantastic. big rooms who they cleaned everyday with private pools.very good fresh food with good drinks and coffes.nice clean pools and beach with many sunbeds for all the people.kostas lifeguard was the best. All was perfect we will come back next summer for sure!!!!!

The resort is by far the best one in which we have stayed in our entire travel history. The family pool view room was very spacious and had quite a nice view indeed from the balcony. The food is something incredible! We have spent most of our lunches at the KBR3 restaurant because of the feel and quieter atmosphere of it, as well as excelent food always. I would like to thank Spiros in particular for the way in which he assured that everyone had a great time at this restaurant, he really put a lot of effort into assuring the confort and the good vibe of the people who came here. Even though we stayed right next to the KBR2 restaurant, we preferred to go to the KBR3 because of the feel and excelent service present there. Bars are nice as well in terms of drinks and snacks. The sea/beach is incredible, one of the best we have been to in terms of swimming, the water is truly remarkable and it's really not cold in late June, it's perfect temperature. Also, the beach is essentially made only out of sand, the floor on the sea is only sand and some very rarely big rocks which are easy to spot and do not pose a threat. The pools are really nice, they are hotter than the sea temperature so taking a bath in them is quite enjoyable. The interior ones are good as well for some quiet, relaxing swimming. Thanks to Kiani Beach Resort, we have had an amazing holiday. I fully recommend coming here, it's an extremely enjoyable stay

Really nice restaurant with excellent food and service. We have enjoyed the restaurant all vacation in Greece and we have a few days left to enjoy. Thank you Spiros KBR3 for the experience. We hope we will be able to visit you again. Lovely and delicious!

We are just back from an amazing trip to Kiani Beach Resort. We booked a seaview room and were allocated a ground floor room so we didn’t see much of a seaview however, the ground floor proved very handy for access from the balcony to the playground, bar, pool, kids clubs and restaurants. The trip was made especially great by the the staff. They were very friendly and helpful. A special shout out to Lily, Lea, Anna and the animation team who work around the clock on activities for all ages. I felt at ease leaving our little boy in their care. Also, Arpan and Bijay in the beach bar were fantastic Barmen amazing at cocktails and very friendly! Kiani Beach Resort was clean, food was great on all buffets, especially buffet 3. There was so much to do and we can’t wait to come back in the future.

the location is next to the beach 1 min by feet.The rooms is amazing and they clean it every day.The food and the drinks is so good and taste!Thanks a lot to kostas lifeguard!

Perfect family resort with lots of activities for all ages. Great buffets and very friendly staff!

Bijay and Arpan the bartenders make the best cocktaila!!!!

We recently stayed at Kiani Beach Resort and came away with mixed feelings. Overall, we had a good holiday, but if you're booking based on the advertised 5-star rating, you may want to adjust your expectations. I'd describe it as a solid 3-4 star resort that is rescued by some genuinely fantastic staff and surprisingly outstanding pizza. First, the location. If your dream holiday involves wandering out in the evening to explore local tavernas, bars, or shops, prepare for disappointment. There is essentially nothing within walking distance. The nearest genuinely lovely place is Chania Town, which is beautiful, vibrant, and well worth visiting—but it's around €30 each way by taxi. Buses exist, allegedly, but seemed to operate on a schedule known only to the gods of Crete and often took over an hour. The food was perhaps the most inconsistent part of the stay. Breakfasts were actually very good, with some unexpectedly excellent pastries that I looked forward to every morning. Beyond that, dining was a tale of highs and lows. Much of the food was served lukewarm and felt fairly average. However, a special mention must go to the pizza served at KBR3. It had absolutely no right being as good as it was. Stone-baked, fresh, and genuinely delicious. I found myself thinking about pizza more than the Mediterranean Sea. We stayed in a private pool room which was spacious, pleasant, and generally comfortable, although it was looking a little tired around the edges. The private pool itself was a nice touch. The bed, however, deserves its own paragraph. I have slept on airport floors, budget hotel mattresses, and once accidentally on a sofa designed purely for decoration. None of them were as hard as this bed. It was less a mattress and more a geological formation. Every morning I woke up with a bad back, and neither my partner nor I managed a genuinely good night's sleep during the entire stay. The grounds were another area where the 5-star label felt optimistic. Flower beds often contained rubble, weeds, and the occasional piece of litter. Nothing disastrous, but certainly not what most people imagine when they hear "luxury resort." Where the hotel truly shines is its staff. Every member of staff we encountered was polite, friendly, helpful, and professional. A special thank you to Agelica at the main pool bar, who was consistently warm, welcoming, and cheerful. The bartenders at the beach bar were equally excellent, somehow remembering my drink order despite the fact that I changed it with alarming frequency. Speaking of the beach, I'm still not entirely convinced it exists. The online photos suggest a lovely beach area. What we found was a narrow strip of sand and rubble approximately two feet wide. The sunbeds were positioned on a steep bank for our entire stay. Whether the photos have been particularly flattering or we happened to visit during the world's longest high tide, I couldn't say. One area that could definitely be improved is the evening entertainment. Most nights ranged from forgettable to actively avoidable, and there wasn't much that tempted us away from an early night. However, there was one glorious exception: Stravos at the beach bar on Saturday night. His 90-minute set of cover songs was genuinely excellent and by far the best entertainment we saw during our stay. Great voice, great atmosphere, and exactly the sort of thing the hotel should have more of. If you're staying over a Saturday, don't miss it. Overall, we enjoyed our holiday. The staff were wonderful, the pizza was exceptional, and the room was perfectly decent. But this is not a 5-star resort by any reasonable standard. If you arrive expecting luxury, you'll probably be disappointed. If you arrive expecting a good family-friendly resort with excellent staff and unexpectedly world-class pizza, you'll likely have a much better time.
