Nine Muses

This was our second time staying at the 9 Muses and it was just as magical as our first visit! From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, you truly felt like you were on holiday. The hotel itself is set out like a mini village with a variety of pools and bars, the main restaurant (with stunning sea views), a beautiful chapel and a short stroll from the beach. The facilities are excellent and all in very good working order. We also loved the addition of the cushions on the sun beds by the beach! Our room was in the older part of the hotel, but they are very well maintained, clean, tidy and spacious. At the end of the day chilling on the beach or by the pool, well loved to come back to our room to sit on the balcony to take in its lovely sea and mountain views. Breakfast in the Avra restaurant is always a delight. The set up is slightly different due to COVID restrictions, but the food was just as delicious with a variety of choice. One of the things that makes this hotel so special is the staff. This is a family run business and their heart and soul has really gone into making everyone feel so welcome. The staff are friendly and helpful and nothing is ever to much for them. They also like to engage in conversations with you and make you feel like you are part of the 9 muses family. Special mention to Yuli at the top bar and Jordan (beach and bar). Thank you so much for making our holiday perfect in every way. We would highly recommend this hotel and we will be back.

TUI changed our Crete holiday to this hotel. We had been to Kefalonia many years ago and knew we should be safe. In my opinion these are the pros and cons Pros We had room 202 over looking the main pool. It was clean with a large comfy bed and plenty of pillows. Tea and coffee making facilities, small fridge and TV and safe. It had a great balcony with views out to sea and lovely quiet air conditioning. The cats are onsite are looked after which as an animal lover is a relief. The staff all worked hard in masks which must have been very claustrophobic. The breakfast was a good selection. Everywhere was clean and well kept The staff on request organised a lovely cake for my husbands birthday which was very appreciated. Cons Pay extra for the safe. In my opinion just I include it in the room. We were woken on several nights at 2am by singing and shouting and music from the pool bar with people quite blatantly ignoring social distancing. Yes its inconsiderate tourists but having spoken to others who had rooms round the pool I suggest closing that bar at 12 and using the front bar instead. There are many return guests who it became apparent where treated slightly different. Everyone is a paying customer That said we want to thank everyone for just being able to get away and have a holiday in these difficult times and hope everyone stays safe and well

Fantastic hotel, clean, modern with beautiful views. We paid for the premier rooms so were at the top of the hill in the new accomodation blocks, the views from our balcony were fantastic and the room itself was modern and spotless with a superb big walk in wet room. The upper pool was fantastic to sunbathe around with even better views than our room. It was clean and refreshingly cool after the hot sun. The main bar around the lower pool was manned almost exclusively by Manos, who was great to chat to while he served us, the beer was good and he makes a mean cocktail. The staff and food at the restaurant were excellent for both breakfast and the evening meal that were included with our package. It only became slightly repetetive as we tried to eat local dishes rather than burgers or Italian food - that's not what we went to Greece for! Our main server was Marcello who was friendly, informative and professional as were his colleagues who we didn't catch the names of unfortunately. From start to finish the hotel staff were efficient, professional and yet still friendly, I can see why so many guests had been there multiple times.
