It offers a unique combination of tradition, hospitality and luxury with the comforts of a state of the art hotel. Pilot Beach Resort with its spacious stylish public areas and unique Cretan architecture is surrounded by olive and avocado trees and is directly on the sandy beach of Georgioupolis offering spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and of the famous White Mountains. Whilst it is considered among the finest five star hotels in Crete and offers services of the highest standards combined with the well known authentic Cretan Hospitality.

Sort of average with nice pools and grounds.

Reviewed By mariaheloise

Difficult to rate this one. Many people don’t understand the star system for hotels. They are generally awarded for facilities rather than service. Pilot beach is five star in the sense that it has multiple pools( including an indoor one) and beautiful well kept grounds which include tennis courts, football area etc. There also seems to be entertainment in the evening and good facilities for children. Having said all that for me the experience here has been quite average. A couple of days before I arrived I messaged the hotel to ask about a paid upgrade. I would have liked one of their panoramic suites but no one got back to me. When I arrived in the late afternoon no one mentioned my message so I just decided to keep the standard room that I had booked.( probably saving myself a thousand euros in the end). I had also asked for a quiet, second floor room. I got a second floor room near the car park which I didn’t really mind but to be honest I could have done without the sound of the bottle recycling being emptied quite often. The room itself is quite nice with a view over the mountains. There are quite nice toiletries and bathrobes etc. My room has a very basic over a bath shower. No problem I think because I can have a nice relaxing bath. Unfortunately this hasn’t happened as despite messaging and then going to reception to ask I never received a bath plug and so said bath was quite useless. If you don’t want people to use a bath please don’t put them in the rooms and if you don’t want to bring a plug just tell your guests. After the second day of asking I gave up. Air conditioning in room good and bed comfortable. Maid service was good and unobtrusive. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet but to be honest for me the dinners have been quite mediocre. Lots of choice but very standard to hotels in Greece. Staff were nice enough but the whole order in app thing doesn’t really work well as for example I ordered ice coffee on the beach but the part of the app where you put your preferences didn’t seem to work for me so my coffee turned up with no sugar and one day it didn’t turn up at all! I suppose I could say these are all small things but this isn’t a particular cheap hotel so I don’t expect to have to do things like chase after a bath plug or a missing coffee. Would also be nice if a little more of a welcome was given at check it. The lady was polite and efficient but for me it just lacks that little personal touch that I expect in better hotels. So for me with two days to go of my holiday I would say that my experience has been sort of average. I do understand that I am not the usual demographic for this hotel as most of the other people staying here are German families who did all seem to be enjoying it very much. I really wanted to love this one considering it has a lot of very good reviews but maybe I am missing something. One more thing is it is quite a long way from Georgioupolis by foot. You can walk a long the beach but the deep soft sand is hard to walk on and I would suggest that you would have to be quite young and fit to do it in the 15 minutes or so that the hotel suggests. Would I stay again? Probably not but if you are Northern European with a young family this is probably a nice resort for you.

Went as 2 couples for a sunny break away. Pleasantly suprised with our stay at kiani beach. Food was consistently good. As a family hotel we didn't feel too overwhelmed by the children present. Entertainment for adults as well as children. Great cocktails, worth the VIP upgrade. Near and accessible trips to chania, 25 euro in a taxi. Good days trips to visit some beautiful places. Thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip. Also the 50m pool which was great to do so lane swimming

Fabulous beachside hotel

Reviewed By Andrew B

Fabulous hotel, all the staff from front desk to restaurants and beachside all excellent. Look out for Manos who runs an excellent evening pool bar. Great location, close to restaurants and shops and just under 30 minutes from the airport, by the bus stop to Chania old town so a great spot. We would put this in the let’s go back box. There were several guests we met who were repeat visitors. Additionally if you are a swim up bar person,look no further.
