All the personel was extremely nice, helpful and responded on our questions immediately. Accomodatiom super comfortable and everyday cleaned ( changed towels everyday and they even cleaned our dishes 💕)
the breakfast was tasty but we would like more variety cause it felt like few ingredients were used everyday in different forms :)

We had the opportunity to spend ten amazing days at The Sand Suites -- Adults Only in Jul 2022. We had arranged an airport transfer (communication with the property was super-efficient), and when the brown iron gates of The Sand Suites opened, we knew we were in paradise.
We stayed in Suite 4, with a plunge pool (a.k.a. cold-water tub :) ) with a spacious L-shaped balcony overlooking Almyros Beach. The apartment was decorated in style, and although we did not spend much time indoors, we enjoyed every minute of it -- partly owing to the Nespresso machine that came as standard equipment, an important asset for the two morning-coffee-craving persons that we are.
And then there was Lydia. Lydia's job-title is "Concierge", but she is so much more than that. She is a superb hostess, who made us feel at home straight away. She was prepared with restaurant recommendations, she took care of taxi bookings for us (sometimes quite complicated ones), etc., and she was even kind enough to teach us the most important phrases and expressions in Greek to help us navigate our stay.
But not only her, all staff at The Sand Suites was outstanding. The lovely lady who would bring us our sumptuous breakfast in a huge wooden crate every morning and who would service our room while we were out showed the same level of kind professionalism every day.
And talking about breakfast: it was something to look forward to every day. Breakfast is served in the room at a pre-agreed time (8.15am was our choice, i.e., the earliest time slot) in a large wooden crate with a hand-written "Kali mera!" (="good morning") note on top. Every day, we would get an egg dish, fresh breads, French-press-style coffee, jam and honey, butter, some sandwich, Greek yoghurt and milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, and some nibbles. TBH, we were also part set for dinner! :)

The staff from reception is very friendly, obliging and fulfilled all our wishes. They arranged us a car, reserved a table at a local restaurant and gave us good recommendations. Our room was really clean and housekeeping did such a good job. They even found our lost headphones and put it back into the case. The room view was also fantastic and the city of Agios Nikolaos is 20 min walk distance away. All in all the stay was fantastic and we will come back.
The only negative point is the whirlpool in the room. Its not heated and the bubbles last for less than 10 seconds. Maybe in summer time it’s not a big deal but the heating function would be really nice to have in an indoor whirlpool. Except from this everything was perfect.

Our stay at The Sand Suites was incredible from start to finish - we have never stayed in a place so luxurious and beautiful. We stayed in the Unique Suite with a Private Pool - as soon as we walked into the room we were blown away by the view of the infinity pool and sea view from our room. The decor of the place is modern Scandinavian which feels very light and beachy. The bed was very comfortable and you are provided with all of the toiletries and amenities you need. The little kitchenette could do with more utensils if wanting to cook more of a full meal but otherwise has the essential plates and cutlery you need for light bites.
Breakfast is brought to the room every morning which makes it even more relaxing! The selection was varied every day but always included eggs (different ways) and fresh greek produce such as yoghurt and honey.
In terms of location, we think Agios Nikolaos in general is a great area to stay - not too touristy but has a good selection of restaurants and shops, as well as enough things to see to keep you busy. We would recommend eating at Piato, Fysalida and Gioma Meze. Also - drinks at Kizmu Sea Lounge is a must! It is a little easier to get around if you have a car, as it allows you to take day trips and experience the Cretan coastline (which is stunning). However, you can take a moderate walk across the beach (which the room provides a private access to) into the centre of Agios Nikolaos….it probably takes around 25 minutes. In any case, a taxi ride is about 5 minutes long and costs around 10 euros one way.
If you do take a day trip - Vai Beach is a beautiful little beach to visit.
The staff we very friendly and helpful and the rooms were always immaculately clean! We would definitely return.
Although our stay was virtually perfect, it would be great if the seating/lounge area was a bit more cosy and comfortable to slouch into after a long day. This did not really impact our stay though as we were often out and about.
Also, we knew we had booked a room with a private pool but there are only a handful with this feature - you should check the type of room you book so that you aren’t disappointed! They all have some type of hot tub, plunge pool or other though.

My partner and I really enjoyed it, the hospitality was wonderful and really in a good atmosphere, the hotel is of a very high standard and also the food served every morning was very invested and varied, The rooms are very clean and the decor is just insanely beautiful. The staff are very pleasant and helpful, a girl named Lydia from the staff just made us feel at home and on the best vacation we could have asked for, she was just welcoming! For a long time we have not had such a good vacation and I am sure we will return there
There was nothing to dislike!

Recently refurbished, Michaelis the manager effectively acted as the concierge throughout our stay. We used what’s app to book restaurants, taxis etc. A very useful service. Breakfast in the room is very well presented.
Approx 25min walk to town, we enjoyed doing this. Our room was on the first floor. The ground floor have very nice large rooms with private pools. I am sure the small plunge pool on our balcony would be useful in the hot months, in The cooler months you are unlikely to use it.
4.5 / 5.0
The place is quite wonderful. We had a lovely suite with direct view to the ocean. It was all rather quiet and the staff was amazing and thoughtful. The beach is 1 min walking and the breakfast was very tasty.
The hot tub was actually a plunge pool, but talking to the owner, we understood the issue there.

Amazing host - Marina goes above and beyond. She connects with you the moment you arrive by whats app, which is so handy. She also recommended some amazing restaurants to us. We booked a room with a private pool, which was amazing. The pool and room were both bigger than we expected and the view was spectaular.
Literally nothing.

The location overlooking Almyros Beach was fantastic, the room was clean, spacious and elegantly designed. The private pool in the unique suite was excellent. Breakfast baskets were fresh, delicious and varied. However, the best quality of the hotel was Marina, the General Manager. What a human being. Incredibly helpful, kind and wonderfully friendly presence in the hotel. She took Greek hospitality to a new level.

We had an amazing experience, the hotel is perfect with a breathtaking view. Also the staff is so adorable. We had the pleasure to meet Marina who made our staying so good and booked for us all the restaurants with a VIP service.
Breathtaking view
5.0 / 5.0
Staying in this resort was truly a wonderful experience. We had a room with a private pool and with a sea view. The room was specious and comfortable, with its interior perfectly blending with the Mediterranean paradise that Crete is.
What provided an added value to this experience was the friendliness and hospitality of the hostess, Marina. Her pleasant personality and the great tips she provided for dining and sightseeing made our stay in the resort even more memorable.
Overall an unforgettable vacation. Thanks!!

This property is very clean . The local beach is 2 minutes away and is very good though rather tricky to get to as the pathway from the accommodation was a little overgrown. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. Agios Nikolaos Center is a20 minute walk along the seafront path or 8 Euro taxi ride. We were advised by staff that there are plans for a pool next year which would be fantastic. Overall we will certainly return.

Thanks

Welcoming, helpful and friendly host.
Perfect location and window views.
Comfortable balcony.
After a 1-minute walk through the garden, you're on a beautiful sandy beach, with beach services at fair prices.
Nice area and close to excellent food at Taverna Amoudara (walking distance).
Walking distance to the Agios Nikolaos harbour.
We have another place in the world to come back! :)
I was missing only a breadboard/cutting mat withing the kitchen equipment but that's just a little thing and I simply didn't ask for it (I'm sure I would have received it immediately knowing the amazing owner).
Note: be aware that the bay waters at Almiros Beach are weirdly chilly on the surface because of the cold Blue River waters coming out of nowhere right on the southern side of the beach. The river itself is an extra attraction there, it's crystal clear, ice-cold and picturesque, also the waters go very fast so children love swimming there. But overall, the bay waters are chilly and not too much welcoming for this reason :)
If you care about the swimming pool & pool bar, both are not available due to covid19 related reasons.
