YIANNA CARAVEL

We spent six days in the hotel with my husband. Check-in and check-out went without a hitch; the staff was really nice! The room we booked (1st floor, sea view) was excellent, clean, roomy, and cozy. We have back problems, so the quality of the mattress is always critical, and theirs was perfect (squishy but still hard enough so we don't get up and are unable to walk). Due to the hotel's facing North, the wind is quite strong, so the waves are a bit bigger around midday and early afternoon - an ideal time to go surfing. Also, the brutal heat is eased by the cool wind! :) The beach was right in our mouths, so we could just go down in swimsuits and towels. We also left our phones and things like that on the beach a few times, because their own beach is very safe, and there is always at least one waiter around the beach. The food was excellent, we got a surprise little ice cream after every main dish! ^^ They have a wide selection of several kinds of food, mostly Greek and other Mediterranean dishes. The breakfast is rich and tasty, we could always find something new to try. The servers paid attention to my lactose intolerance, they were helpful and fast. It was really nice to lounge in a curtained box of sunbeds, order some snacks, and eat shrimp or tiramisu right there. Special shoutout to the servers whose kindness and professionalism made us feel truly welcome and made our stay extremely comfy. :) I don't know what hotels get the 5th star for, but in my heart, they have 5 stars! <3 :)

The most important value of this hotel seems to be the kindness of the staff, from concierge team to bartenders and waiters. Stayed here in the last week of August in a room with sea view and generous balcony. Cozy beds, well equipped bathroom with shower cabin - everything spotless and working flawless. Lots of storage, modern furniture. Loved the homey decorations on maritime/beach theme. The breakfast was gorgeous - really a pleasure to start the day by the beach, tasting the delicacies offered at the buffet. Took also a dinner at this restaurant and it was even more tasty than the breakfast. Still remember the taste of burrata salad and marinated anchovies. Good value for money, highly recommended.

loved this hotel and we are already planning our way back. the rooms are great and clean, AMAZING food, and the beach is perfect. uts great service everywhere with a super nice staff and people. the resort is also close to thebus station so its easy to go places for cheap! i recommend 10/10!

Very comfortable room, friendly hotel team. Food was very good and great value, we had dinner in the hotel. Beach beds available to use for free during hotel stay. Free parking onsite as well. Only saw a very small plunge pool style area, but not a problem as beach is so close. Only 15mins from airport.

I haven’t written a Tripadvisor review in a while but the warm welcome and quality accommodation offered by the Yianna Caravel by Checkin, Malevizi requires very positive feedback. I don’t know the recent history of this hotel but there appears to have been very significant redecoration with the addition of many attractive artworks. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast which offered a cooked option and Greek/ continental option. Evening meal could be taken on a beach bar and were very tasty all washed down with complimentary raki. We used the hotel as a base for a walking holiday climbing Mt Spathi and Mt Psiloritis / Ida. We also visited Knossos.
