Great resort, just about an hours transfer from the airport. Sits on the beach but there are a good amount of shops, bars etc over the road. All staff were friendly and attentive. We went half board which gave us breakfast and main meal, always a good variety of food, all buffet style. There was a pool bar during the day where food and drink were reasonably priced. No issues at all with the quality of food. Demographic during our stay was middle aged couples, everyone kept themselves to themselves but were friendly, very peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend a trip to Rethymno, a town about 25 mins on the bus which can be caught opposite the resort. Offers loads of shops, restaurants and bars. Highly recommended

“Perfect adults-only peace, great sea views, and top-tier hospitality in Kavros”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Fantastic, Peaceful Getaway – Highly Recommended! We have just returned from a wonderful seven-night stay at the Orpheas Resort in Kavros (June 2026), and we couldn't be happier with our experience. If you are looking for a relaxing, high-quality, adults-only escape, this is the perfect place. From the moment we arrived, the hotel felt incredibly welcoming. The entire property is kept spotlessly clean, and the staff are attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. My wife and I stayed in a lovely suite with stunning sea views. An incredible touch: our 22-year-old daughter was upgraded to a junior suite, which also boasted beautiful sea views. It made her stay extra special! Breakfast: A brilliant buffet with a wide, varied selection of different foods to kickstart the day. Evening Buffet: A couple of times we opted for the additional evening buffet, and it was just as impressive and varied as breakfast. Pool Bar: A lovely, relaxed spot to hang out during the day. A massive plus is the direct access to the beach—you can easily take your drinks and food down to your sunbed. If you stay here, you must visit the spa. I can highly recommend the massages given by Tatiana and Efstatina. They were well worth the money and served as a truly wonderful treat for our wedding anniversary! The Atmosphere & Vibe Because this is an adults-only resort, the entire environment is incredibly quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. It is predominantly populated by couples. During our stay, the majority of guests were German, though we noticed more English guests arriving towards the end of our holiday. A couple of evenings featured a live DJ and some music, but for the most part, the vibe is all about pure relaxation. The Local Area Kavros itself is a great area. It’s very picturesque and doesn't feel overly crowded or commercialised. There are also some lovely little traditional tavernas just a short distance away if you fancy exploring. Final Verdict Overall, our holiday was a fantastic and thoroughly pleasant experience. We would highly recommend the Orpheas Resort to anyone and would certainly consider going back in a heartbeat!

This adults only resort is the definition of relaxation! The design and aesthetic of the resort is ambient and arty. I stayed in a junior suite, and the room was lovely quality with a balcony view over the gardens and pool towards the sea (see photo attached) - plus daily cleaning and fresh towels/linen with a very friendly cleaner! The service from all the staff is impeccable, they remember your room number from the first day and greet you with a smile whenever you cross paths. Complimentary snacks with drinks at the bars (and occasionally Raki) make you feel very welcome, making your holiday that much better. The breakfast and dinner buffets were good quality, with a good spread of different foods for both vegetarian and meat eating guests. The resort is not noisy either, besides the occasional music drifting in the wind from neighbouring resorts. Lots of lovely tavernas and supermarkets in your doorstep, with a special mention to Mama Pelagia’s taverna, a lovely friendly taverna over the road from Orpheas. Hugely recommend going there on your visit! The only notable mention is having to pay for sun loungers on the beach, about €13 for 3 for a whole day, so in the grand scheme of things it’s not that great of a fee - we were just unaware of this and got caught off guard.

We stayed for eight nights at Orpheas Resort in a junior suite with a private pool and were very pleased with our stay. The hotel was more affordable than several of the neighbouring hotels, and although the standard was also simpler, we felt that it offered very good value for money. We could happily have stayed for another week. The best thing about the hotel is the staff. Everyone we met at reception, in the restaurant, at the bars and on the beach was extremely friendly and service-minded. The staff contributed greatly to the warm and personal atmosphere. The hotel has plenty of charm and a somewhat varied style. It feels clean, although the standard of maintenance is inconsistent. On our first evening, the room was over 32°C and the air conditioning was blowing air without cooling because it needed more refrigerant. Reception followed up, but we had to sleep with the balcony door open on the first night and ended up with several mosquito bites. The room was simply furnished but perfectly adequate. The bathroom was of a good standard, the bed was reasonably comfortable, and the room included bathrobes and disposable slippers, but no iron. The private pool was fantastic, had a good view and was used every day. The limited screening from neighbouring balconies reduced the sense of privacy slightly. The hotel’s buffet restaurant served very good and varied food. Breakfast was also good and varied, although the coffee and juice from the dispenser were poor. We therefore ordered excellent freshly squeezed juice for €1.50 every morning. The sun loungers on the beach were among the best we have experienced and cost €8 per day for two. There were relatively few loungers by the pool and pool bar, even though there appeared to be room for more. A practical tip is to use the physical “Do Not Disturb” sign. The digital button was not respected by the staff, while the physical sign worked. Orpheas is not a luxury resort, and some reviews may give the impression of a higher standard than the hotel actually offers. At the same time, it is a charming place with excellent staff, good food, a lovely beach and very good value for money. For us, it is 4 out of 5 stars.
