Evdokia Suites

Stayed here for a week as a family of 2 adults and 3 children (16, 16 & 12). The staff were very attentive, polite and always so helpful. The rooms clean and had all you need. Lovely balcony. The breakfast around the pool bar was lovely. Sun loungers around the pool always available. We requested a late check out as our flight wasn't until 11pm and the staff moved some things around for us to be able to stay in our room and didn't request any extra money. We were really appreciative of this. Hubby loved the ice cold glasses for his lager :-) Location was ok with a few bars, restaurants and shop close by.

Katarina, Anthony and the team welcome you to this boutique hotel to the west of central Gouves only 50m from the beach. With generous rooms, a bar and snack area and a lovely pool with more than sufficient beds and space Evdokia offers travelers who want a calmer holiday experience a perfect setting. Thank you both so much, next time we’re coming to Crete we know exactly where we will stay.

Have you every wondered what it would be like to find that perfect hotel, spotlessly clean, location just right, amazing pool area, fabulous friendly staff and where every thought has been given to ensure that anything and everything you will ever need is provided right there when you need it? Well, we just found it at Edvokia Suites in Kato Gouves. Arranged via Sunshine Holidays as a last-minute replacement for our holiday to Skopelos which was cancelled thanks to storm Daniel, with a Jet2 Flight and transfer with Holiday Taxis. Note, if you use Holiday Taxis for your transfer, the bus will not drop you off at the nearest walkable point to Evdokia. The minibus dropped the previous holidayers at the Astir Hotel at the bottom of the road, which is the closest by foot, but then proceeded to the Magda Hotel which we were told was our drop off point (closest on map, but not accessible through the buildings on the opposite side of the road, which backs on to side of Evdokia). So we had to wheel our cases back down the road back passing the Astir again and up the narrow road to the Evdokia. It would have been better for the minibus to drop us off at the Astir so a small inconvenience but once we arrived it really didn’t matter because we were warmly greeted on our arrival by our friendly host Anthony who offered complimentary ice cold homemade refreshing lemonade whist we waited for our room to be ready. Not long to wait and we were shown to room 304 which was an excellent top corner position overlooking the pool area, which we thought was the best location and we were really happy with the room we were allocated. The room was lovely and cleaned to a very high standard, spotless. The suite is large with separate bedroom, twin beds, wardrobe and dressing table, chair with mirror and twin drawers. We were also left with a mosquito/inspect plug and tablets, very useful and the first time we have had such a device left for us. The wardrobe has plenty of storage and useful space above large enough to house two suitcases and get them out of the way. In the wardrobe the is also a small safe for your valuables for which there was no charge. There were only six coat hangers, but not a problem as were usually find shortage of hangers for our clothes and always bring some of our own. There was a shelf above with blankets and more pillows if required. There is also double shelving unit between the beds which was also very useful for your belongings. The best thing was the really comfortable beds, very deep mattress, never a bad night's sleep. The main room area had two double sofa beds and corner table and was very spacious. The air conditioning unit was in here which generated enough air circulation to cool the entire area including the bedroom. The air conditioning was again free of charge and worked perfectly, and silently. The kitchen area includes fridge with icebox unit, large enough to freeze one litre bottles of water for the beach, double r

We stayed as a family of 5 in august - the room was a lovely size, it was clean, location was perfect, staff were friendly.. the only draw back for us, was that the kids weren’t allowed to jump in the pool and was my husband really allowed to play with them in the pool either, even when no other families were around the pool area. Kind of put us off having any pool days as the kids found it boring. That’s probably a lovely thing for couples on holiday but would rather have known that in advance and chosen a more family orientated hotel.

We stayed in September 23 and had a perfect stay. Staff were unbelievably helpful, kind and generous and the facilities were all fantastic (particularly the pool area and comfortable room). We'd recommend to all and come back in a heartbeat.

Amazing paradise! Only 30mins from airport. Quiet and relaxed (no fighting for sunbeds!) at times we even had the pool all to ourselves. Pertect for us and our 2 girls 13 & 15, with the beach only 2 mins walk away. Wonderful staff, friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble and the best food in Gouves! Really comfortable beds and pillows and a lovely little balcony with washing line and pegs...brilliantly useful! Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday we would definitely visit again.
