GK Beach Hotel, Kalyves, Crete, Greece - Explore & Book

"The words “family friendly’ are overused, but at the GK Beach Hotel on Crete’s northern coast, the focus is squarely on parents and kids alike. With a backdrop of the majestic White Mountains, surrounded by tropical gardens and less than a stone’s throw from the beach, it ticks all the boxes for views. But it’s the facilities for families where GK Beach Hotel excels. There are two swimming pools (including a paddling pool), an onsite restaurant and, in summer, a host of organised activities for 5-11 year olds – allowing parents some me time on those sun-drenched sands. The simple but serviceable suites are flexible enough to cater to families of most sizes, with extra beds and cooking facilities too; plus they all have views over the gardens and the ocean. With only 23 of them, the vibe is intimate, tranquil and relaxed. Outside the school holidays, the resort is great for couples too: the pretty town of Kalyves is a short stroll away, or hop into a car and take off to bustling Chania with its Venetian architecture and buzzy nightlife. But if you’re stuck on babysitting duty, there’s a great onsite beach bar and taverna for dinner and cocktails as the sunset flares over the Aegean Sea. Highs Fab location – the beach is at the end of the garden and there are plenty of sunbeds for guests, you can't beat meals at the taverna by the sea Fantastic pools – at 18m the larger pool is great for dips or morning laps (and has loungers) while the 4m children pool is perfect for early learners The Beach Life programme oversees kids’ activities such as water games, craft sessions, tournaments and socials (operational July and August only) Just a short drive from Chania airport The gardens are beautifully maintained Lows Note that most rooms require a 7-night stay (Tuesday-Tuesday) The rooms won’t win any design prizes – they’re generally quite plain but clean, fresh and smart The last part of the 15-20 min walk into Kalyves is on road without pavement" - Handpicked by our hotel experts

I stayed at GK Beach Hotel for a week and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with stunning views of the sea just steps away. Waking up to the sound of the waves every morning was pure bliss.||The breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and made with local ingredients. From warm pastries to perfectly cooked eggs and fresh fruit, everything was thoughtfully prepared and served with a smile.||The location is unbeatable—right on the beach, peaceful, and relaxing. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. I genuinely didn’t want to leave!||Highly recommend GK Beach Hotel if you’re looking for a relaxing escape with top-notch service and authentic Cretan hospitality. Will definitely be coming back!

My second time to GK beach last year with my wife , this year with my daughter, First class service from the moment you book to the moment you return. Sarah and Ionna at Gk Beach are outstanding, always available , calm so knowledgeable, nothing too much trouble, We ate out several times at little restaurants in Kalyves and the countryside, superb locations and food. Hotel itself great position ,staff friendly and speak English, rooms have everything you need , great buffet breakfast, lunches / snacks excellent , also evening dinner.|Sarah and Ionna made our stay exceptional, again. Must mention the lady who cleaned our room daily, changed towels, exceptional. i think sometimes people forget housekeepers. |We have been to Corsica , Majorca, Turkey and now twice to Crete with Simpsons, you just cannot fault their service. The team in uk, who answer queries brilliant

Our first Simpson holiday and first of two Cretan venues. Glad we did not come here last! We had a bad time in the penthouse. The aircon only worked on the lower floor. The top bedroom and bathroom were insufferable due to heat. We told them after the first Tuesday night; we were told it was working; we told them everyday it was just the fan with no cooling, until on the Friday afternoon an engineer came and pronounced it broken with no prospect of repairs before we left. All we were given was a €50 food credit!||||The breakfast was very poor. We met Graham Simpson the following week and he told us he heard it was not good enough which we happily confirmed. Their version of yoghurt is a travesty, the muesli hard, the cold choices sparse. The second location endorses my views - it was so much better.||||We are waiting for Simpson Travel to compensate us for an uncomfortable and far from relaxing week. It was of course the failure of their Greek Hotel owner and operator. They need to review and tighten up their service level Agreement with GK and make their local representatives push to support their clients. The second location was outstanding and showed us how poor our experience had been and how good Simpson can be.||||The pool is good and parking is easy. The beach is clean and sun loungers enjoy a lovely view. I hope no one else has defective aircon for an entire week!

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful position with the beach to the front and mountains behind. This was our second holiday here and just as enjoyable as the first. |The service, care and attention received from Simpsons is second to none, right from booking through to departure from the hotel. The food is good, the staff very friendly, helpful and efficient. There was nothing to fault! |This hotel is a wonderful base to explore this beautiful part of Western Crete.

Just returned from a 7-night stay at GK Beach Hotel and I’m already missing it. This place is a hidden gem—peaceful, welcoming, and perfectly located right on the beach.||||Our room was airy and comfortable with everything we needed, plus a lovely balcony to enjoy morning coffee with a sea view. The breakfast was fresh and varied every day—simple things done exceptionally well, with local flavors and friendly service.||||The atmosphere is laid-back but professional. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the guests and take pride in the place.||||It’s the kind of hotel where you instantly feel at home. I came back rested, well-fed, and already planning my return. Highly recommended!

Amazing beach with beach restaurant, the pasta, salads, local dishes are all fabulous with very fair pricing. The service exceeds expectations, Claudio who “runs” the beach is a really great guy so good at keeping the beach immaculate and carrying out sunbed service of food and drinks. Sunbeds very comfortable with mattresses. Fully recommend.

The service at the restaurant is amazing. Great food and very reasonably priced. All the staff in various roles all act with high levels of professionalism. The sunbeds are comfy and offer stunning views.
