Hotel Review

If you want to treat yourself to the very best that Crete can offer in terms of beach resorts, then Nana Princess will not disappoint. It's smaller than many of its rivals, with only 112 rooms and suites, and this means that the staff can focus on delivering five star service to all their guests, however trivial the request! Accommodation comes mainly in suites and private villas all with their own heated private pools (there are just three superior rooms on the first floor which have a private balcony, but no pool). All are individually designed in a bang-up-to-date contemporary style with sleek lines, marble bathrooms and floor to ceiling windows to maximise the beautiful sea views. There are three restaurants to choose from (main building, poolside or on the beach depending on your mood) and all boast menus with dishes created by Michelin starred chef Lefteris Lazarou, and an equally impressive wine list selected by an award winning sommelier. There is a vast spoiling spa, and state of the art gym for when the guilt kicks in. Quite simply Nana Princess offers beachside luxury at its best.

Other Reviews

Nana Princess

The spectacular ‘space age’ spa at this stone-built property, on a sea-view slope just outside Hersonissos, is probably the most luxurious in Crete. Other water features include two medium-sized pools and a sheltered beach. Two restaurants serve fresh seafood and hearty meat dishes.
