Coralli Beach Hotel sits right by the water of the Cretan Sea. It offers some nice sea views with the island Dia sitting in the background.
The Hotel features a pool area with sunbeds, some of which are in the shade if you don’t like the full on heat during the day. It also has two showers right at the entrance to clean your feet when you come from the beach or before you jump in the refreshing water of the pool. The breakfast area is also located near the pool area  with a few comfy benches to sit on during the day. Also the seats and tables for breakfast may be used during the day. This is also the place where you’ll find the reception.
The rooms are super large and clean. In your living room you will find a large TV, usually two single beds and a counter with a larger refrigerator and some plates, cutlery and glasses. You’ll also have a table and two chairs. 
The bedroom features a large bed and a Make-up desk with a large mirror as well as a TV. The room also has a closet which is large enough to hang a few things although hangers are a bit rare. Both bed and living room had acces to the balkony which had two lounge chairs and a table. The bathroom is a little outdated and smaller but clean. Soap, shower gel and towels are provided and replaced daily. 
Breakfast is included and offers a buffet with eggs, bread, pancakes and cereals. There’s also the option of sausages and fries as well as typical Greek food like salad and Greek yoghurt. Everything is made fresh especially the freshly made orange juice and the staff makes sure there’s plenty of everything available. It’s a wide variety of food and everyone will find something for sure! 
What makes this place truly special and homy is the staff who’s always greeting you and goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed and at home. They are always around to help if you have any questions, they give you a tour of the buffet at breakfast and we even got a cake for my birthday. This made this vacation what it was: a perfect one! 
So at this point shoutout to the staff at Coralli for everything you did during our stay! We will definitely be back!

Perfect option if you don’t like mass tourism!

The property was a little off the beaten track. We parked our car, made our way to the casual reception where we were shown to our room by Sotiri. Walked in to see. Table, chairs, fridge & 2 single beds. My heart sank. Then he said “and your master is through there” past a full sized wardrobe & en-suite a lovely modern King sized clean & comfortable bed. Glory! A balcony to hang out wet towels from days on the beach or by the pool. 2 tvs, tasty breakfasts, walking distance to great restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, bakeries etc. Great location to get to Knossos Palace, Agios Nickolaos, Elounta, Plaka & Spinalonga. I could easily live here & hope some time soon I will. Loved the friendly staff too. Especially Hara who fussed over all her guests over breakfast. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

Hidden Gem

Coralli Beach :
Before I even start talking about the hotel I need to speak about Dimitris (one of the 2 owners): his sole purpose is that you have a great time and that you are enjoying yourself. He will help you with anything: rent a car, good tips on what to do and see, where to eat. He is ever so friendly!
The location is perfect: a stone throw away from the sea. All you need to do is cross the road. The swimming pool is nice and warm. The rooms are spacious and clean. You will enjoy an amazing sunset everyday from the terrace. Last but not least the fresh breakfast cooked by Sotiris (the other owner) is great/delicious : There is plenty to eat with a lot of choices.
I highly recommend the Coralli beach hotel to anyone who wants to have a good and relaxing time in Crete. We will return for sure!

Great stay for a perfect holiday in Crete

I can’t recommend this facility enough. Dimitri and his staff are exceptional. Their customer service skills are top notch to every detail. The location is ideal if you’re looking for a relaxing stay. There are a number of restaurants nearby and beaches with umbrellas and beds just across the street. Rooms are very clean with adequate space and a balcony to relax. We certainly enjoyed our stay and won’t hesitate to repeat staying here in the future. 5 out of 5 rating for sure!!!

Excellent stay at Coralli Beach Hotel

it is about 15mn by car from the city, meaning peacefulness and friendlyness!
the staff are absolutely lovely and helpful, not to mention the owner that is extra caring and gives extra charm to this hotel. 
My luggage arrived late and they helped as much as possible.
the hotel is well maintained and family friendly. its litterally on the beach. some bars and restaurants around, not only visited by tourists but also locals. there are shops / grocery stores about 15 mn by foot.
i would go back there with no hesitation

a perfect place and compromise!

So we actually stay at a hotel cross the street. But we went here to eat our first night.
Excellent customer service, and great food! Recommend the feta in the oven which they made gluten-free for me 😁

Excellent service and food!

We were planning to go on a mini vacation of just 2 days. So we needed a hotel that offers reasonable fares for 2 nights. Also it should be closer to the airport to maximise the time we would have to relax. We found the Coralli Beach Hotel which was close to the airport, close to the water and offered a good price for 2 nights.
We landed early and that meant an early arrival at the hotel. They contacted us prior to our departure that an early Check-in wouldn't be a problem and they'd be happy to welcome us. And that was the case. We arrived at around 10am and were greeted by the receptionist who was also in charge of the hotel, which turned out to be a family run hotel. Everyone working there was somehow related which gave the whole thing sich a nice touch and made you feel very welcome. During Check-in, although we just booked two standard rooms, he tried to make everything possible to get a room with a sea view which was highly appreciated. Unfortunately all the rooms were booked but the fact that he tried was more than nice. This was a great start and it reminds you that friendly staff makes a big difference!
He then showed us our rooms and even gave us a little tour of the almost little apartment that we were about to spend the next days in. It was very spacious, had a little balcony and a little bathroom. As mentioned, you can't expect a lot for the price we paid which was less than a 100€ per night but for that the room was perfect. It was big, had a nice bed and a fridge which was working and empty so you were able to put your groceries in. Also the room is equipped with an AC and TV. Besides that it was clean which is really everything I need for 2 days. You might say that the bathroom interior is a little older but it was clean and working so no complaint here.
A breakfast is included in the fare and you'll get a buffet with bread, cereals, Greek yogurt and things like pancakes, a variety of eggs and other Greek specialties. There is coffee, hot chocolate and freshly pressed orange juice, probably the best I've ever had.

We had a great stay at Coralli Beach and I'm sure we'll come back!
Traveling in times of Covid here some Infos on that too. Everything is desinfected and wrapped in a plastic cover, it is cleaned every day and a mask is mandatory in public rooms. 
Although if you're planning on staying somewhere with a bigger beach, this is not exactly what you'll find here. The beach was quite small. 

Nice little place to stay for a few days... 

We visited the hotel during the high season and I have to admit that everything exceeded our expectations. The room was very clean and really comfortable. There is also billiards, so we could enjoy this facility as well. The pool was also really clean and really useful, as a couple of days it was a bit windy, so we took advantage of it. There is also a kids' pool right next to it, with crystal clear water. 
There is free WiFi and aircondition in the room, which helped as we used it when it was hot. Very important was that it is also new and clean.
Although it is not far from Herakleio city, you can enjoy the peace of the beach and a small village. Easy to getto Herakleio though, as well as to lots of places worth visiting (Cretaquarium, dinosaur Park, Palace of Knossos). The hotel is located near all of them. 
The breakfast offered is another big chapter. Everything you can imagine, they have it. There is a huge variety and it is hard to decide what to eat everyday, as everything seems delicious. Many of the stuff are handmade too. This is certainly a huge plus at the hotel, as you get to start your day in a good way.
The next thing which is great is the beach, which is right outside your door. You just need to cross the road and you are there. The water is warm and it ia not deep, perfect for kids. There are also quite a few amazing restaurants next to the hotel, which you might need in the evening (the breakfast offered in the hotel is enough to keep you full until then).
Last but not least, the hotel is occupied with the most amazing staff I have ever met. There is a "family" environment and you get to feel part of it as soon as you step your foot in. Everyone is really polite, ready to respond in everything we needed and always going an extra mile.
Just amazed by our visit. We will definitely get back there again and happy that we felt so comfortable, just like at home.

A "must" place to stay

Despite the mixed reviews, we gave this place a go as it appeared to be good value for an all inclusive hotel. However, you really do get what you pay for, and even that seems expensive in hindsight. 

The staff were helpful and pleasant at all times, apart from one stony face young guy in the restaurant who was extremely robotic and never spoke, avoided eye contact and did not smile back.  On our last day we had a midnight flight home, but they let us keep the room past check-out, until late evening at no extra cost.

Rooms were extremely basic and many things were old, dirty, broken or damaged. We moved room after the first night because the towels and bed linen were dirty, the shower and air con were both broken. In the second room, the shower was again broken but the air con worked, but only after we had to ask twice for the missing remote to be able to turn it on. The toilet kept leaking sewage every time you flushed it.  Missing shower curtain resulted in a soaked floor. We kept asking for more and more spare towels each day just to keep on top of it ourselves. My daughters first impression was that she was in a prison cell.  That says it all.

The hot food was OK on some days, poor on other days, terrible on some days. I loved all the Greek salad and fresh healthy non-cooked food options.  The real down side here was the cooked food.  It was often luke-warm or just cold.  Variety was not brilliant and it was often bland. Several times those in our room avoided it, we either ordered take out or we went next door to the Ambrosia Taverna or to the Avra Restaurants. After eating out, we never really wanted to eat at Corali again. We did try, but it was then just off-putting in comparison. 

The hot drinks were limited to coffee, the only tea available was herbal. The coffee was really nice. There was also a good supply of fountain drinks and orange juice. Alcohol was local things. Cretan beer, Cretan Red/Cretan White.  The beer was nice and my wife liked the white wine.  We both thought the red wine was sour/sharp, like it was still fermenting or just not ready for serving.  There was a bar with some local made spirits available too.

If you want all inclusive, please spend another £100 per person per week and go somewhere else.  It is a false economy to go with cheap options like this hotel.  You only end up spending more money eating out. For the price we paid, including buying our own food, we could have gone half board somewhere more expensive and saved ourselves the grief.
