Nautilus Bay Hotel & Restaurant

My twelth long stay (2 weeks +) in the last ten years at this friendly hotel in Kissamos.... Why I keep returning to this property ? - Great location on a sandy beach (30 mtrs) - perfect for swimming also for kids, friendly helpful staff and owners, large clean room with a great 180 degree view of the bay if you choose a Superior Studio with Sea View (Rooms 29 and 28 are the best), wonderful breakfast with a great selection of hot and cold dishes, well cooked tasty meals for lunch and dinner by the resident chef Fortiny - in addition there are a selection of good restaurants along the promenade only a few hundred meters away and also further along the beach the other way, well appointed very clean large rooms with efficient air-conditioning and a kitchenette, a comfortable bed, good wi-fi and a large balcony with table and chairs. Free sun beds and parasoles on the beach for guests...the hotel supplies beach towels to guests. Free parking. Good bus service available. Many friendly talkative fellow guests ! - one never feels lonely even when travelling alone. Always some interesting people around...from all over the world. An outdoor bar and a great good-sized pool. A mini-market and a large supermarket nearby within walking distance. A wonderful base for visiting the famous beaches and sights of western Crete. A big thank you to all the staff and owners for another very enjoyable three week stay now from late May to mid June. What more could you want ? R

Photos make the place out to be something it is not. 1: Hotel is off a busy street(s) noise through day and night 2: beach advertised is not really a practical beach to enjoy 3: Parking advertised is really a dirt lot 4: The place is deserted around 4 PM so if you need anything after that, good luck. 5: Bathroom showers - bathroom is a complete joke and has only a low powered hand held wand 6: Room is the quality of a medium grade motel .. 7: pool-property is not fenced in and the busy area it is in, I wish it was. The lady at check in - out is a bit snarky.

Great hotel within steps of the beach. What makes this hotel is the staff! Wonderful people. The room was so clean! Breakfast was great! Different options every morning. Loved having the staff come to the beach and offer drinks. We ate dinner there the first night we got in after traveling 27 hours and it was great! Room was very large. Loved sitting on the balcony every morning looking at the water!

The hotel had great accommodation the room was large sea view across the pool .|The staff were all lovely friendly helpful.|There was a beach area so you could sit looking out across the bay.|I might be biased as I love kissamos it is laid back quiet with great restaurants and shops |So great hotel, we had light snacks at the bar restaurant which were delicious |Thank you

When we come to Greece, we always try to stay and eat at family owned businesses. The Nautilus Bay Hotel is a true gem. We received a very friendly welcome. Daily checks, if everything was well, if we needed anything. We very much enjoyed the seaside breakfast (buffet), took walks along the beach and used the sunbeds before going out to explore the island. Anytime again.

Great hotel in a very good location, spacious clean rooms with a beautiful view, extremely kind staff, I can only recommend it!

We (mum, dad, two teen daughters) shared a room with side sea view for a week. The room had a kitchenette with fridge, two sofa beds, a huge double bed in the master bedroom, and a perfectly functional bath/shower room. Plus two balconies. Plenty of space for us all. Two air conditioners (one for the living area, one for the bedroom) kept us as cool as we liked.|The staff are all wonderful. The bar staff make regular (short) journeys to the beach to make sure we're not thirsty and Izabela, who runs the show, is happy to advise or order you a taxi. Despite being full, the hotel, and Kissamos in general, never felt busy. Always loungers available by the pool or on the beach a few steps away.|A very calm, relaxing, stress free holiday. Oh, and there are cats. Which is a bonus. All very chilled and happy to say hello.

Lovely hotel steps from the beach. Very friendly staff. Little bar next to the poolside and small restaurant. Everything close by like bakery and souvenir shops. A nice restaurant up the road on the beach called Maria beach tavern. Views are amazing. Worth it. Would recommend.
