Cayo Exclusive Resort & Spa

My Granddaughter and I enjoyed our private pool and the entire resort was immaculate

The resort is a beautiful oasis of calm. The staff are charming and helpful and the whole place is so beautifully designed. It is a short walk (5-10 minutes) into the tiny town of Plaka, but it is a town packed with excellent restaurants.

Did not like the only buffet dining option...

Mega

Private pool and balcony with room is great. Breakfasts are lovely. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Truly outstanding hotel. Room was immaculately clean, great view, fantastic cocktails and food, wonderful staff and great attention to the details. I would recommend without hesitation.

Room is clean, plenty of space, amazing view over the sea and Spinalonga. Private pool is worth a 5 star review on its own but the rest of the hotel adds even more, definitely worth it.

CAYO is amazing. We spent the first few days of our honeymoon here and I am happy we did. The staff was upbeat, on top of everything, and went out of their way to make sure our stay was everything we wanted it to be. On first night we received the most wonderful cake and bottle of wine as a wedding present. The cake was so perfect that it didn't look real. Plaka, the surrounding town arean, is so quiet and relaxing; no hustle and bustle traffice and noise. If you are looking to relax in a peaceful setting with excellent views then this is the place to be. Eloundas is a short drive with plenty of dining and shopping if you feel like getting out. One negative for some is the beach. If you want a sandy beach, this isn't it. CAYO's beach restaurant (which is a short shuttle ride away because the hotel is not on the water) is called Stone Beach for a reason. While the stones may not be everyone's ideal material, it does make for a very relaxing audio experience when the waves hit the beach. When I am in Crete again I would go out of my way to stay at CAYO, if only for a night. I wish we had spent our entire honeymoon at this resort.

Beautiful resort, extraordinary staff, delicious breakfast, thoughtfully designed rooms for families, nice gym and pools, convenient and easily walkable to the beach and town. Truly an extraordinary stay in every way. Kelari Restaurant is delicious and unique, and we had two amazing dinners there with exceptional service and lovely Cretan wine. One of the best resorts in which we have had the pleasure of staying. We'll be back!

Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel ! Nous avons particulièrement appréciés les piscines, la piscine de la chambre, le petit déjeuner qualitatif avec un choix varié (fruits frais, viennoiseries, jus d’orange pressé, fromages, pancake…), la plage privée, la beauté des lieux. Le staff est aux petits soins, attentifs et réactifs Merci à eux.

Quiet area but amazing pool suites and very modern and clean

Beautiful hotel with an amazing view of the sea and Spinalonga Island. Every room has a private plunge pool. Rooms are well arranged and spacious.

Tolles Hotel. Super Service. Leider das Buffet-Restaurant nicht auf dem gleichen hohen Niveau wie der Rest.

Most amazing customer service I have experienced. I travel a lot and have visited quite a few places but this one has really topped all of them.

Overall very very pleasant stay. You will be enjoying a very nice hotel and incredible service and kindness. The beach is crystal clear and very calm waters despite the wind Positives: Service, staff, cleanness (top top), room (definitely get the pool room) the facilities and the views. The food was very good but the desserts (especially choclate desserts) were the worst I ate. For dessert I could only have fruits. The beach bar was clean, they provide towels as much as you want but the beach bar also has its negatives please look at the below section for my negative comment. Negatives: The wind is sometimes unbearable. It is so strong that you cannot stay outside (we visited mid July). The cayo stone beach bar food is absolute abysmall. The service the personnel are really nice they are doing a very great job. But the menu is a disaster. I could not find one thing to order and the prices are 3-4 times the already overpriced neighboring places. For those prices you would expect to have some good food, very surprising. They should check the menu of the neighboring restaurants. The hotel is at the top so you need a shuttle service plus you take an finicular to your room. It is just too much effort to go down to the beach. The prices in the area is no different than Mykonos prices. Also the restaurants at the shore have similar prices. So be ready to spend some serious money here.

This is insane like really insane. Also the restaurants at the shore have similar prices. So be ready to spend some serious money here.

Beautiful property and location

Great stay!

Splendid hotel! Highly recommend! The staff is friendly and super helpful. The place is gorgeous and well kept. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely relaxing hotel, great service, recommended for a peaceful time in lovely surroundings
