Nana Golden Beach All Inclusive Resort & Spa

“Fantastic resort that gets the big things right! ​Space & Vibe: The expansive layout and free seafront pergolas mean guests spread out easily without feeling crowded. ​Food & Drinks: Impressive à la carte options, and the cocktail quality is far above the usual all-inclusive standard. ​Water & Amenities: Great private beach, plus an epic 10-slide waterpark that keeps all ages entertained. ​Service: Reception and restaurant staff are wonderfully friendly and attentive. ​The evening animation shows are okay, but they could be made more interactive and engaging for guests. ​Overall, a brilliant stay for families and couples alike. Highly recommended!”

“We had an excellent family stay at Nana Golden Beach and would happily return. The resort is especially well suited to families with children. Our children loved the water park and slides, the beach, and the wide selection of food and snacks. The food was varied and enjoyable. Although the restaurants are buffet-style, the staff serve the portions. I really appreciated this approach because it helps reduce unnecessary food waste while still allowing guests to try different dishes. Our room was spacious, comfortable, modern, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, welcoming, attentive, and especially good with children. There are a couple of areas that could be improved. It would be nice to have more group activities and for the daily schedule to be advertised more clearly. Also, although the restaurant service was quick, on two occasions I noticed that the drinking glasses had not been cleaned properly—one of them still had a lipstick mark on it. I hope the resort pays closer attention to this. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Nana Golden Beach to families visiting Crete.”

“Whilst we had an enjoyable week here it is not comparable to the luxury five star resorts such as Ikos or those available in parts of Turkey, I can’t agree with those reviews saying the cocktails and food are of a great standard. The positives were: Staff were very friendly and helpful Resort is large and modern Coast is great for snorkelling (not really much of a beach, just a small man made beach at one end of the resort) Sports facilities world class if you play tennis, one gym was very good the second smaller gym a bit mediocre, indoor pool is excellent. Water park was good Near to a couple of towns, long walk or short taxi ride Buffet was decent Air con in rooms was good The negatives for us were: Room a bit small (we paid for upgraded room but still felt quite small) and basic. Mini bar was just water and some fizzy drinks and didn’t get cold. Bathroom not finished well ( shower leaked and got blocked on more than one occasion) Room door lock broke and safe didn’t work all week (they fixed the door promptly and we couldn’t be bothered to report the safe issue) Cocktails were very average, branded spirits were used but the mixers were of a very poor quality including some fruit juices coming straight out of the mixer tap. Very disappointing. Just one beer available at most bars, a second very similar one available at one bar. Restaurants are always fully booked, we got on the app the day we got there and managed to get three bookings but two for 6.15 and one for 8.45 which weren’t really the times we wanted and we couldn’t choose from all the restaurants as they were not all available. Restaurants were then very mediocre, the Italian being particularly poor, the pizzas were smothered in way too much cheese and the dough was tasteless. The Greek was better and the steakhouse was ok. Also the restaurants were only ever about half full at most which makes you wonder why they won’t let you book them! Live music was continually late and performers looked like they didn’t want to be there, advertised for 9:30 and often didn’t start until well after 10pm. Overall we still enjoyed the week we had but wouldn’t go back and feel that whilst this is advertised by some UK travel agents as luxury five star it really isn’t up to scratch compared to other places we have been to.”

“Our stay at Nana Golden Beach is truly outstanding from the beginning to end. The hotel is very beautiful and all the staffs are all kind, welcoming and incredibly quality ( Guest relation, service crew, housekeeper, guys who works at the beach and pool ) thank you all so much!! Special mention to Angelica from guest relation who welcome us from the beginning since we arrived at the hotel. She is absolutely exceptional with impeccable English! Also Edward and Dorilyn who works at the pool. They always greet me and my family with a smile. Not forget to mention Jonathan from housekeeper even though at night he always makes sure our room is clean. Overall our experienced in this hotel was so perfect. I can consider this as a 5 star hotel. Thank all so much for all the staff you guys make our holiday so special. No doubt to come back here again next summer.”

“We stayed at this hotel with our family and children, and we were absolutely delighted with our experience! The hotel grounds were beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of space for relaxing walks. The all-inclusive dining was varied and delicious, offering something for both adults and children. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The sea was crystal clear, the beach was comfortable, and the entertainment program was enjoyable without being intrusive. Our children especially loved the pools and activities. It was a wonderful family vacation, and we would be happy to return again!”
