Tolle Lage und schönes Zimmer. Leider haben wir erst während des Aufenthaltes von anderen Urlaubern erfahren, dass es kein Frühstück vor Ort gibt (familiäre Gründe) und wir uns somit, trotz dem dass wir inkl. Frühstück gebucht und gezahlt hatten, uns am nächsten Tag um Frühstück kümmern mussten. Vorab eine E-Mail/Info wäre toll gewesen, dann hätte man sich vorab schon informieren können.

Peaceful hotel with amazing owners along the sea!

A peaceful hotel owned by the sweetest family. Our room had a private balcony and gorgeous views of the sea. The property is approx 200 meters outside the small village with a private beach but the owners will pick you up at the ferry or at the exit from the Samaria gorge if you coordinate ahead of time. The property has sunbeds and umbrellas to use for free and sea kayaks and pedal boats to use for free. The family works very hard to accommodate us and are incrdibly kind. The hotel is small and they have a small family staff so things happen at a more casual pace which is relaxing. Fish may not be available every meal because the owner, George, is also the fisherman and he may not have a large catch that morning or the weather may prevent fishing but my advice is ask staff for recommendations for what to eat. Every time we asked staff for food recommendations, we had a delicious meal! We ate most meals at the hotel and only went into the village for a cocktail or to walk around. It is the perfect place to unplug, relax, and enjoy some beautiful views and peace.

Séjour au calme

Nous devions avoir une chambre vue sur mer et n’avons eu qu’une petite vue latérale. Nous avons demandé le changement mais on nous a dit que c’était complet. Le matériel de cuisine est sommaire et le lit moyen. L’accueil a été aimable et on nous a proposé de garder nos bagages le temps d’aller dans les gorges, et prendre une douche au retour. Attention : le petit déjeuner n’est celui affiché. Sinôn le resto est bon et l’endroit calme et agréable.

We spent 4 lovely days at the sweet corner with our 11 year old boy and had a great time. We were met off the ferry by Nectaris in his car that takes a battering each time he drives along the rocky road. We were impressed how he handles that car! Lovely Emma was there to show us around and answer any questions for us. She is fluent in English and was our main point of contact. The accommodation is basic but has all what you need. The reason we picked Sweet Corner was due to its location. It’s away from the main area, peaceful with a beautiful view. We didn’t want to be surrounded by restaurants and other hotels and all 5 rooms have a sea view. The bonus also was the FREE use of the pedalo and the kayaks which we used everyday. Great for an active 11 year old boy. We snorkelled each day, so take your own gear. There are lots of beautiful fish to see and the sea is so clear. My son was thrilled as we saw a Lion Fish. It’s a short stroll (5 minute walk) down to the main area if you want a leg stretch, need to go to supermarket or fancy a cocktail. On one of the evenings Emma kindly packaged up a takeaway and we sat on the private beach just relaxing. On day 3 Nectaris dropped us at the exit/entrance to the Samaria Gorge and we walked about half way in before we met people who had started their walk from Omalos. It was well worth it. Absolutely stunning. I would recommend Sweet Corner if you want to be peaceful, active and enjoy nature. Thank you xx

A small piece of heaven

I have been coming here for a number of years and as always I had a wonderful stay here this time too. It is a small piece of heaven tucked away at the edge of Agia Roumeli. I was welcomed like a member of the family and began to relax as soon as I arrived. From the fantastic view, the secluded beach, beautiful sea and the use of the kayaks to the delicious food, everything was as I would have wanted. The rooms are basic and clean with a/c and fans and a sea view balcony . An amazingly friendly Cretan experience and I will certainly return.

If you want luxury, pampering, or a resort this is not for you; however, if you love nature, quiet places, beaches that are wide open, friendly and genuine people, then you will love this place. The room is comfortable, spacious, and clean. The only downside is that the air conditioner is located in the kitchen area rather than the bedroom. When we were there, it was pretty hot and so we used the AC. Luckily, they do have a fan as well which we put on in the bedroom. The place is family owned by people that are wonderful. They bend over backwards to help you and to make sure that everything is good. Their English is not good but they employ Emma, whose English is excellent. Guests have access to a small, hidden beach with sunbeds and umbrellas that are free, a pedalboat, and several sea kayaks. We took the kayaks out to explore and found a beautiful, isolated beach under the cliffs to swim at. Access to the hotel is somewhat difficult as there are no roads leading in or out. You must either walk in on the E4 or Samaria Gorge trail, or take the ferry. We took the ferry and had suitcases that would be difficult to transport up the dirt road to Sweet Corner. If that is your case, just email or call them with your arrival time and they will be waiting for you at the ferry to drive you there.

Petit paradis pour solitaires

Ici c'est un concentré de l'accueil et de la gentillesse des Crétois. Petit hôtel sans prétention offrant tout le confort attendu après les randonnées dans ce coin magnifique. Un peu à l'écart de l'agitation du village qui est le terminal de la randonnée dans les Gorges de Samaria. Cuisine traditionnelle simple mais exquise avec des produits locaux et même familiaux (miel, fromage que vous pouvez acheter). Prix très raisonnables et service client irréprochable. Nous regrettons de n'avoir pas réservé un séjour plus long mais nous reviendrons.
