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!

Great Beach Stay

Nautilus bay was a wonderful place to stay in Crete. Our room was large and had a big patio outside. The staff was great. The breakfast, both the food and restaurant views were excellent. The weather was a bit chilly, so we didn't get to use the pool or beach chairs and umbrellas. It was so quiet and relaxing there. It a short walk to the restaurants on the waterfront on downtown Kissimos.

Being on the beach meant not having to take anything with you, just stroll back to the room. Or order from the bar and they bring it to you on the beach where they had numerous sunbeds with shade. Dont usually do hotels but this had the best of both worlds with a fridge and hob, plates cutlery etc and kettle in the room if you didnt want a full restaurant or bar. Our first room was VERY close to the pool which made for some kiddy noise but they swiftly moved us up a floor which was great. If you have kids it is very easy to keep an eye on them in the pool, just that we dont. People were all lovely a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
