Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort Crete, Curio Collection by Hilton

My husband and I stayed here for one week in mid October. The hotel is stunning and so amazing to be on the beach. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind and friendly. The hotel is immaculate and very clean. We had the half board and the food was great with plenty of choice. The pool bar food was also delicious. We had an evening meal in their al carte restaurant which was excellent. The pool areas and beach never felt crowded, there's plenty of room for everyone. Delicious cocktails and tunes at the pool bar served by charming staff! The only tiny thing I would say is that our room could have down with some more storage for our clothes and belongings. However, we would absolutely recommend this gorgeous hotel for anyone looking to completely unwind and relax, it's perfect for that!

I had a wonderful stay at NUMO Ierapetra Beach Resort. From the warm welcome at check-in to the consistently friendly service throughout my stay – everything was pleasant and highly attentive. My room was stylish, spotlessly clean, and featured a lovely little terrace – a perfect place to unwind when I wasn’t at the pool or the beach. The pool and beach areas were fantastic – clean, comfortable, never crowded, and always peaceful, making it easy to truly relax. Breakfast and dinner were excellent; I especially recommend the MENOA Restaurant (tip: make a reservation in advance!). There are also several daily fitness classes like Yoga, TRX, and HIIT, all complimentary – a great touch. Overall, NUMO Ierapetra is a perfect combination of comfort, modern design, and outstanding service – ideal for anyone seeking a calm, relaxing holiday right by a private beach. It was one of the most restful vacations I’ve ever had.

The highlights of our stay really were Tina's yoga lessons and Petros' fitness courses. We also enjoyed a high quality massage. |Surprisingly good for swimming and snorkeling was the private beach of the hotel. Due to the rocks (under water), plenty of fish can be seen. (But you should know where the underwater rocks are in case you are swimming in a rough sea.) |Staff was friendly and forthcoming. If you do not like the music at the main pool, you can use the other (quiet) pool or the beach loungers further from the pool bar. We enjoyed the pool bar service (e.g. its "Acai Berry Bowl") every day, calling the service from the beach lounger's call button. |Both breakfast buffet and dinner buffet were nice. (The dinner buffet repeated after 1 week, but we stayed only 8 nights.)|Minor complaints are: one of the self-service coffee machines was not working on two mornings, which lead to longer queues for the coffee. And the flax seed ran out three days before the end of the season (and was not filled up again). The door knob in our room was not properly working, so we could not lock the front door from inside. But apart from these minor complaints, everything was very comfortable, clean and pleasant.|We were also extremely lucky with the weather: 22° water and 26° air temperature in the first week of November; so we did not do a lot of sightseeing, but rather enjoyed the snorkeling, swimming, fitness courses and yoga lessons. |Compared to Tenerife, this was less expensive and equally enjoyable. |Overall, the hotel is a great place to get away from the busy world and relax.

My stay at Numo Hotel in Ierapetra was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The whole atmosphere of the resort is calm, elegant, and genuinely relaxing — exactly what you want when you’re trying to unwind and disconnect. The staff deserve a special mention. Every single person I interacted with was kind, attentive, and professional without ever feeling formal or distant. They really made me feel cared for — from the reception team who welcomed me with a smile, to the waiters and bartenders who always remembered our preferences. Their warmth felt authentic, and that made all the difference. The amenities were equally impressive. The rooms are beautifully designed — modern but cozy, with earthy tones that match the natural surroundings.The hotel has two amazing pools, one in a quiet area for total relaxation, and another with music and a bar for a more vibrant mood. Both have plenty of space and comfortable sunbeds, and the beach right in front of the hotel has this peaceful, almost private vibe. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent. Everything was prepared with care, and you could really taste the quality. The cocktails were also amazing. What I appreciated most, though, was the overall feeling of ease. There’s a quiet sense of luxury here — not loud or showy, but natural and thoughtful. It’s a place that helps you slow down and truly enjoy every moment. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a stylish, peaceful escape in Crete with exceptional service and genuine hospitality. Already planning my next visit!

Whilst my husband and I enjoyed our holiday at Numo Beach Resort overall, this isn’t somewhere that we would return to soon. The setting and the hotel itself is beautiful but there are a number of factors that make the hotel less than the five star experience expected.||The hotel struggles with what kind of experience it wants to provide. There is a mix of guests from couples of all ages, families with older children and smaller younger groups. The hotel stops short of being a luxury hideaway and at times felt like an upmarket 18-30’s holiday. ||Aesthetically the hotel is very calming and given the location right by the sea it should have been a very relaxing stay but the lack of attention from some staff, the fact that there is unrelaxing music playing constantly and the standard of food and amenities took away the five star experience. ||Our bedroom was pleasant enough and furnished nicely. There is air conditioning as you would expect but it was very loud especially at night.||Breakfast was on the whole disappointing and felt more like eating in a canteen. Whilst there was a lot of choice of pastries, breads, meats etc the fresh fruit selection was limited and was on some mornings gone early morning with delays being replenished. The choice of drinks was limited and the choice of coffee was poor with the majority being served via a self service machine. ||We had lunch at the hotel on a few occasions and whilst the food was good the choice was very limited. The choice of wine was also fairly limited.||Whilst the main restaurant is adjacent to the sea any chance to have a relaxing breakfast and lunch is taken away by music constantly playing in the restaurant and adjacent pool area. It would have been nice to be able to sit in peace and quiet with the noise of the sea in the background but there was always music playing. From lunchtime there was a DJ playing next to the pool bar so the music could be heard from the restaurant and private beach area.||Also there isn’t much privacy between the private beach / pool area and the restaurant so whilst dining you get the view of guests on their sunbeds. ||We chose not to dine at either of the two restaurants at the hotel in the evening as we were not confident that it would be a fully enjoyable experience. Instead we took the 10 minute taxi ride into Ierapetra to dine at the local restaurants by the sea.||In terms of amenities one of the reasons we chose the hotel was because it had a gym. However the gym was very small given the size of the hotel and grounds. Whilst the cardio equipment is new it is very limited. The weights section was very limited and the equipment dated with a lack of space to train. ||The staff were pleasant enough but did not provide a slick service. The reception staff were excellent and deserve a special mention as they were always pleasant and willing to help. However the staff at the pool and beach area were not very good and some were quite rude. We got the feeling that it was just a job for them rather than wanting to provide any sort of friendly service. ||The actual hotel grounds and location are beautiful but unfortunately it is someway off being a luxury five star resort.

I would give it more stars if I could. Our stay in Numo was perfect! And this is not only because the hotel is beautiful but mostly due to the staff members. From the first second we felt very welcomed by everyone: from the security lady at the entrance and the person who takes care of your bags, to the lovely colleagues at the reception and the guest experience team. They make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed. We personally enjoyed having the possibility of using the tennis court as well as the gym. We had half pension and had dinner at the hotel every evening and the food was always tasty, fresh and with a a lot of variety. The vibe at the main pool is perfectly balanced, with a great view to the sea and enjoying the chilled house music from the resident DJ. I could continue mentioning everything that went well in our stay, but to summarize it, we will come back and that already says it all! A big thank you to all the team that made sure our stay was flawless!

We had a great week at numo resort. The food was lovely, especially the breakfast, and the resort has a boutique, chilled vibe. I was there with my husband, two daughters and their boyfriends and the real highlight for us was taking part in all the gym sessions led by the fabulous Petros - excellent classes and he shares his expertise so well. It really made our trip special. The one thing that could be improved would be better signage on the food options as one of our party was vegan and although the staff were helpful when we asked the labels on the food options were very inconsistent which was frustrating. Overall a lovely stay.

We stayed at Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort and absolutely loved it! The hotel is perfect for a calm, relaxing getaway: a quiet atmosphere, beautifully maintained grounds, a clean beach, and the sea just steps away. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, with spotless housekeeping. What truly stood out was the service, excellent quality with a genuine, heartfelt touch. At check-in, the front-desk manager Alina was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, setting the tone for the rest of our stay. Throughout, staff were attentive and proactive, making us feel truly cared for. The food overall was excellent, and the bar service was fantastic, with convenient “delivery” right to the sunbeds. The hotel also has a special touch: open-air movie nights in the evening—an absolute delight and a memorable highlight of our stay. We highly recommend Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort to anyone seeking top-quality, soulful service, comfort, and tranquility.
