Pilot Amphora Boutique Hotel "Adults Only"

It was truly an exceptional experience! The hotel is situated in a quite area around 7-minute walk away from the beach. The design of the hotel is very modern and the attention to detail is amazing! We booked a room with a private pool, which was very nice and we were spending our evenings on the terrace watching the stars. The meals and the bar at the hotel we thought were the best! Cocktails were really great! We were using beach facilities at Pilot Beach Resort every day, it's very easy to get there by a shuttle bus that picks you up in front of the hotel. The team who works at the hotel are true professionals, we are very thankful for their hospitality and help during our stay! It's a second time I am choosing this hotel when travelling to Crete and every time I visit it exceeds all my expectations!

Just all amazing! Very nice location, very good food, very clean and top service! Just superlative! I want to thank specially Stefanos for suggesting us all the best places to visit in Creta. Really thank you. We loved everything. Grazie mille ☺️

We stayed at the Pilot Amphora Boutique Hotel for 10 days. The hotel, the service, the staff - everything was exceptional. We received a bottle of champagne and fruits on arrival, which was a lovely touch. There was also a surprise birthday cake delivered to our room during the trip. Again, great service and attention to detail. The rooms are spacious (we stayed in an indulge room - and we had plenty of space. The rooms were cleaned daily, with new fresh towels etc. We had half board (including breakfast and dinner) which was amazing value for money as you get such a wide choice of options for breakfast. The dinners are exceptional (very big portions also) - be sure to keep yourself hungry each night! The staff were the best bit - so friendly and accommodating. The service couldn’t have been better - we would absolutely recommend this hotel. Thank you specifically to Paulos and Vasilis - it was a pleasure. We also visited the sister hotel (Pilot Beach Resort) for the Lobster night - and we were chauffeured across by the hotel teams. There are various local restaurants and supermarkets in the quiet neighbourhood also (Nostos and Mythos were local recommendations). There are also excursions from Georgioupolis for day trips - all fairly convenient if you don’t drive / have a car. We would love to come back! Thanks for everything to the team.

This really is a true Boutique Hotel, a hidden gem in the small village of Georgiopoulos. The clean, simple but well thought out design and function of all spaces makes it both luxurious and a haven of peace and tranquility. Room was spacious,with great amenities.Iron plus board and anti mosquito plug in were added nice touches. Sunny balcony with mountain view, water provided daily. The hotel app is excellent for room service, lunch etc, small but perfectly tasty menu given the size (only 30 rooms) of the hotel. Breakfast is buffet style, something for everyone with a great eggs menu too. The dinner is a 5 course set menu, which i tried. Beautifully balanced by the extremely competent chef, creative and delicious, all dietary requirements are catered for. Good wine list available, excellent price point. Lovely ambiance, as throughout the property at all times. Plenty of shops,restaurants etc at a stone’s throw plus 2 excellent beaches. You can also use all the facilities at the sister hotel, about a 5 minute transfer by shuttle which was available on tap at no extra charge! A much bigger but still beautiful complex, you get the best of both worlds and i would highly recommend the spa facilities. A car is needed if you wish to explore Crete more extensively but Rethymno and Chania are both close by, bus or taxi easy to access. Above all the level of service, discretion and professionalism of all the staff was the star attraction in this hotel for me. They cannot do enough to make your stay perfect and truly memorable. A special huge Thank You to Panos, an extraordinary manager,who’s enormous experience and understanding of customer comfort and relations is exceptional, and to Menia, the “fairy godmother” of reception, such warmth, charm and attention to every individuals needs and requests given with genuine care. To quote Panos “You arrive a stranger but leave as a friend”. Perfect. I will definitely be going back!!!

This hotel was the absolute paradise I needed. The hotel itself is beautiful, laid back, and peaceful, so you can truly relax - the hammock and mountain views were a particular bonus! The pool area is gorgeous and even has a flamingo-shaped floatation ring for guests to share. Some previous reviews have mentioned not being able to order food and drinks from the poolside as a negative, but actually through the “chat to reception” function on the app you can without having to leave the comfort of your lounger. The hotel has a sister resort which you can get to for free by shuttle any time of day. I only went to use the beach space (I recommend walking back to the hotel along the beach) but you can use their restaurants, spa, activities, and pool space too if you’re interested. I was only there for 3 nights but I found the dinner at pilot amphora to be delicious (5 course meal) and breakfast had plenty of choice. One night we even had live music from a very talented cellist at dinner. There are also good tavernas within short walking distance. What makes this hotel so special is the staff - it’s the same small team so you get to know everyone and they truly go above and beyond to make your stay as special as possible. Vaggelhs (at reception) and Vasilis (around the bar and restaurant area) in particular were amazing and will happily meet your every need. I can’t recommend this hotel enough and would go back in a heartbeat.
