Latest reviews on Kato Selle's beaches

Elounda Beach
10 Kieran Kells

We stayed at the hotel for a few days and absolutely enjoyed our time there. Before booking, we took a tour of the resort and were impressed by its vast size and resemblance to a real village. The beaches are absolutely breathtaking and the food is incredibly delicious. There is a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, as well as numerous boutique shops selling jewelry, clothing, and eyewear. One of my personal highlights was the beach bar called Veghera, located on a jetty. They serve amazing cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere, perfectly complementing the vibrant ambiance of the bay with its colorful lights. We will definitely be returning in the future!

This hotel seems to have seen better days, earning a maximum of three stars. The location is great, with beautiful olive trees and a beach area. Most of the staff are attentive, although the staff in the pool and beach areas often seemed uninterested and unwilling to provide beach towels. The room we stayed in was outdated, and the food in the canteen was of low quality and served in large quantities. Although the holiday package included half board, we had to pay for drinks during the evening meal, with still water priced at 4.50 euros and sparkling water at 7 euros. One day, we brought our own bottle of water for the evening meal and were treated as if we had committed a major offense. The glasses were removed from our table, and a member of the waiting staff kept a close eye on us for the next 10-15 minutes. We didn't even bother asking about the prices of soft drinks, wine, or beer, as we had a feeling they would be extremely expensive. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it didn't meet our expectations either. Although we didn't need them, it appears that the hotel lacks wheelchair access to many of its facilities.

Private secluded shoreline with rocks. Non accessible

This beach is a true gem, with crystal clear waters perfect for swimming and relaxing. However, there are some occasional disturbances caused by tourist boats from 12-18, which can be a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, they also leave some litter behind, which is a sad sight to see. To fully enjoy your time here, it is recommended to stay on the rocks as the sand can be quite small and the waves can be strong. If you're looking for a flat space to rest, the area near the barbecue is a good option, but be sure to avoid any boat traffic. Despite these minor inconveniences, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to bask in the natural beauty of the sea.

This beach was an absolute delight! The water was crystal clear and pleasantly warm, and the seclusion was a major plus. Although the arrival of boat trips can cause a bit of congestion, they typically depart within an hour, leaving behind a serene atmosphere. The beach is a prime location for snorkeling and swimming, and the surrounding peninsula is breathtakingly beautiful, making it an ideal spot for trekking. 🌸

This beach offers an exclusive experience with a delightful atmosphere and ambience. However, the cost of one umbrella and two chairs is €20, which may be considered a bit steep. The food and drink menu may also be on the pricier side, but the overall experience is worth it.
