Wonderful hotel at a beautiful beach. Everyone working at the hotel are extremely nice and accommodating. Special shoutout to the brother-sister team of Alessio and Alexandra for taking great care of us. The location of the hotel is also excellent especially if you would like to visit the best beaches on the whole island of Crete.

Amazing staff and hotel!
The hotel manager and bar waitress were absolutely amazing people. The hotel was absolutely beautiful and the food was exceptional! We stayed here to go to the pink beach and it was a crazy mountainous drive and crowded but the hotel made up for that in their amazing view! We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again!

A wonderful, locally owned hotel with a welcoming informative staff. The pool was fantastic and very clean. The hotel is right on the beach, and a ten minute walk into the center of Kissamos where you'll find great restaurants and cute little shops. Kissamos is a wonderful hidden gem, and if you stay there, definitely give Nautilus Bay a try, my wife and I will definitely be back!
