Cayo Exclusive Resort & Spa

Absolutely astounding hotel providing everything you need for a perfect week away to relax and enjoy the surroundings. |The moment we arrived it was just perfect in the way we were welcomed and were very lucky as we were upgraded which we are very grateful for. Thank you Cayo. The hotel is so beautifully designed in the way it's been built and landscaped. The rooms are spacious and so clean, beds so comfortable and the terrace with private pool is just divine which makes you want to stay there the whole day. The service from all the staff was amazing and so friendly. Would def recommend this hotel. Its obvioulsy very new as every inch of the complex is perfectly clean.

Many times to Crete but the first time to Cayo and it definitely won’t be the last!!|From the moment we checked in to check out everything was Excellent. The food was delicious and fresh and the entertainment was fun.|We visited the Spa on several occasions where we had the luxury of the Spa facilities private to ourselves, a great way to come in out of the warm winds. Jean was extremely welcoming and professional with a great suggestion of the many treatments on offer. Chris and Eleni were excellent therapists finding exactly what we needed try the Cretan warm oil massage amazing. Thank you Cayo for the honeymoon holiday we needed. We will return for our anniversary.

Wonderfull resort. Reception and concierge staff was super helpful for us. Restaurant staff was also very attentive. Delicious breakfast and dinner. A la carte restaurant menu was world class. At the beach not always available sun beds. The manager at the Stone Beach bar was involved and proactive but some employees insufficiently trained. Even with this minor challenges the overall experience was nothing short of extraordinary. A venue build and serviced with the guests in mind. Thank you!

This place is magical. From the moment you arrive you instantly feel relaxed. The welcome was incredible. The rooms were spotless and stunning, the resort was beautiful and so well loved. This hotel is my favourite so far and will always make me smile when I think about our family holiday here. |Highly recommended 5🌟 as it should be

We stayed at Cayo Exclusive Resort & Spa in July 2025, and everything about our experience was truly exceptional. The hotel is set in a peaceful area on the east side of Crete, close to the charming villages of Plaka and Elounda. Both villages have cozy cafés and small restaurants where you can enjoy relaxing evenings by the sea. The staff were simply amazing – kind, patient, and always ready to help. They made us feel like part of their family from day one. Cleanliness is another highlight. Every corner of the resort was spotless and fresh, a solid 10/10 for us. Food was fantastic. The resort has five restaurants, including one with a Michelin star. Breakfast was a treat every morning, with plenty of delicious options to choose from. Family-friendly? Absolutely. This is a great place for families, with thoughtful touches that make everyone feel comfortable. Rooms are modern, elegant, and perfectly clean, adding to the luxury feel of the stay. The resort also has its own private beach, and a free shuttle service makes getting there easy. For those who want to explore, they offer electric cars for rent, which we found very convenient. Overall, our stay was wonderful – a perfect mix of relaxation, great food, and warm hospitality. We would definitely come back!

This really is a wonderful hotel. Stunning panoramic views of the sea and Spinalonga Island. Rooms very well appointed. Food simply wonderful.||But above all the thing that really makes this hotel stand out is the efficiency and kindness of all of the staff. ||It all made for the perfect holiday. Thanks to all.

Just leaving Cayo Exclusive which is a stunning modern hotel situated just above the charming village of Plaka.|Anyone looking for a relaxing chilled out holiday in gorgeous. luxurious surroundings this hotel is perfect . The staff go above and beyond to ensure your trip is seamless . A special shout out Eleftheria on reception and all the restaurant staff. This is very special place .

Excellent stay in a beautiful hotel. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and spacious, each with loungers and a private pool. The terrace was lovely, with a beautiful view. Air conditioning was efficient. Plenty of bottled water daily. Buffet was adequate with varied food. The staff were very friendly, polite and efficient. We spent a week there with a view over Spinalonga island, so relaxing. Well maintained with lovely plants around the whole resort. Although the walk to and from the beach is on a hill, it is a nice walk unless you have mobility issues. Otherwise there is a shuttle. The town of Plaka where the hotel is located is also very relaxed with small bars and restaurants and ferry crossing to Spinalonga. Highly recommended!
