The hype
Guests are obsessed with how clean it is and love the staff, but many are baffled by the extra charges for spa facilities.
Myrion Beach Resort & Spa
$150-250/ notte
Prenota se You want a modern, adults-only sanctuary that prioritizes cleanliness and pool lounging over sandy beaches and nightlife.
Perché piace così tanto
- Immaculate cleanliness scores (9.6/10) that put other 5-star hotels to shame
- Modern, 'Instagrammable' design with swim-up rooms and glass-walled pools
- Quiet, relaxed atmosphere far from the chaotic party strip of Platanias
In sintesi: A sparkling clean, visually stunning resort that nickel-and-dimes you for the 'extras' like the indoor pool and in-room coffee.
Recensito da @verenavielle: I stayed at this design resort in Chania and honestly, the architecture is stunning. The way the light hits the lobby is unreal. It's super quiet and the rooms are pure minimalist zen. If you need to disconnect in style, this is the spot.

- You are a 'pool person' who prefers a sunbed to the sand
- Hygiene is your #1 anxiety — this place is hospital-grade clean
- You want a quiet couples' retreat without screaming kids or thumping bass

Prima di prenotare
Buono a sapersi

- Dress code applies for dinner: no shorts or flip-flops for men.
- The 'private' pools in some lower-tier rooms are actually 'sharing' pools with neighbors.
Cosa portare
- Water shoes (critical for the rocky beach)

- European power adapter (Type C/F)
Genio delle camere
Migliori scelte
- Executive Suite with Private Pool (worth the splurge for total privacy)
- Superior Swim-Up Room (direct pool access, great value)
Camere da evitare
- Split-Level Junior Suites (stairs can be annoying, layout feels 'odd' to some)
- Rooms directly facing the main pool bar if you sleep before 11pm
Genio delle richieste camera – copia e incolla
“I would appreciate a room on an upper floor away from the main pool bar for quiet. Please avoid the split-level layout if possible, as we prefer a single-story configuration.”
