The staff/owners went above and beyond in their attention as well as should there be any problems they with dealt with ASAP.
As our taxi airport transfer wasn’t due until 1400 hrs they allowed us to check out late obviously this is dealt with a case by case as the hotel occupancy at any one time may effect the possibility.

Gouves its a village, perhaps not as glamorous as Chania side of Crete but I liked it. Is a bit unpolished, I would say, not with that feeling of drowning under the - all included large hotel complexes and the tourist vulgo that comes with it. Its a more apartments district with greeks coming on vacations too. Plenty of taverns with prices ranging between; main courses 7-14€, drinks 5€ and cocktails 7€, breakfast 5-8€. It also has several Super markets, two of them larger with everything you need. All the above its at walking distance. 10 min with the car or moped from Gouves up inte mountains, you come to smaller villages like Hersonissos with fantastik tavernas and beautiful views.

A charming village, about 15 minutes from Heraqlion by bus (no. 2 from the airport).
Do NOT miss the Asteria taverna next to Lavris hotel: every Sunday and Tuesday a live performance of traditional Greek and Cretan music, with the beautiful Anna teaching Greek dances. It's not a tourist taveran (although there are tourists there of course) but aimed mainly for the locals. We will remember our two visits there as one of our unique experiences in Crete, and no doubt the most enjoable of them.

The day I was in Gouves the beaches were basically nonexistent due to the high tie and was very very windy. Walking along the sea was nice but given the nice beaches the island has to offer I'd rather go somewhere else or at least not stay there for long
The property was ideally placed with a perfect view of the sea and nestled between a range of restaurants and good public transport..
The property was modern, clean and the jacuzzi is a fantastic idea.. great shower lots of space and nice neutral decor.
The breakfast in the room was lovely with a variation everyday and staff could not do enough for you.. I would choose this again and again..
Love the quietness of the hotel but steps away from lively bars with friendly locals and staff. Waking and sleeping to the sound of the sea is calming.
The swimming pool really well kept, salted water so i must say particular overall, the lady gave me immediately precise and correct infos about buses and supermakets and she was always available in case of Need. Pity that they are building right in front of the hotel were there was nothing before, so the view Is not so open anymore on the near beach but still good, the Crete Aquarium it's very nice to visit and i was lucky to stay so near we saw It twice included the VR
Friendly, helpful staff.
We got bigger room with seaview.
There was welcome pack in the fridge - water, juice and fruits.
Free airport shuttle - arrived on time, fast.
All inclusive matches the price - drinks are available during day, but don't expect large selection.
Food is similar every day, but it sometimes depends on time when you arrive.
Beach is sandy, only 20 meters from the hotel.
Small kitchen in the room.
The family run property is well taken care of and the staff is very helpful. Their pool is relaxing and lovely and the “breakfast” is served all day on a shaded patio. The beach, restaurants and shops are all walking distance and they have ample parking for guests. There are many olive and fruit trees and a garden with many vegetables. our favorite excursions were recommended by the hotel staff!!
Absolutely amazing place, it has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The hosts are the most pleasant and welcoming people on the entire Crete. The apartment has a sea view and the sea itself is within 1 minute by walk. Very cosy area with tavernas, bars, restaurants, shops and ATM are right nearby. I didn’t want to leave, it felt completely like at home and even better!
great staff , very friendly and very helpful
always smiling , very clean staff in both the kitchen, restaurant and bars
we enjoyed our stay a lot , it’s family friendly resort (with a baby it was perfect to stay in the bungalows in the ground floor) but we missed a good sea view from the room
the animation team is amazing and very good with children, activities for kids all day
Large beautiful house. Loved the private bath in each bedroom. Large beautilly stocked kitchen with all the tools you need to have delicious meals at home. Hosts provided lists of what to do in the area, where to eat , taxis and more. House is immaculate! You will never find a cleaner home. We had a wonderful family vacation.
From arrival to departure, everything about the Rena Apartments was excellent. The staff and owners were great and nothing was too much trouble. This place is a definite must to stay around Gouves with easy access to the road networks for exploring the surrounding areas.
Excellent service and kind hospitality from the personal of the hotel. Very clean room with a perfectly working A/C and comfortable bed. Tasty dinners with variable menu. Good access to the sea. Nice location in the calm part of Gouves. Thank you!
The owners are the best- they were helping with everything. The hotel is small but very cosy and very clean. Very convenient if you want to visit aquarium and Dinosaurs park.
