I recently spent 11 nights at Insula Alba, and overall, it was a lovely experience. The hotel was immaculate and beautifully designed, making for a comfortable stay. The staff was exceptional, providing attentive service throughout our visit. However, while the food quality was high, I felt there could have been more local dishes to choose from. Additionally, the rural location meant higher prices at local eateries compared to more central spots.

This hotel provided a relaxing stay with luxurious amenities, including spacious rooms and a beautiful pool area. The staff were friendly and attentive, contributing to an overall pleasant experience. However, the dining options could be improved as the buffet became repetitive, and some guests noted limited local cuisine during their stay. Additionally, while there are plenty of lounges, the lack of a beach directly at the hotel was a slight drawback.

I had a wonderful 11-night stay at Insula Alba, where I was greeted with refreshing towels and water upon arrival. The staff was fantastic, and although the dinner options occasionally lacked heat and could benefit from more local dishes, the overall food quality was good. The room was spacious and comfortable, though it's best to have a head for heights if you're in a duplex. Prices in Crete can be high, but the amenities offered great value for money, making my vacation truly enjoyable.
