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.

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

An idyllic setting at the end of the road and away from the crowds. The hotel staffed by the welcoming and friendly extended family including yiayia. Also Amelia the multilingual amazing staff always ready to help. The food was always fresh and local even their own produce including cheese, honey, lamb and veg and whatever fish was freshly caught. Highly recommended.

Fantastic communal terrace, now shaded by light tree cover. Quiet location 7 minutes walk from village, with immediate access to the sea. Very friendly and helpful, including staff with good english. Room airy and with basic range of kitchen equipment if you're catering for yourself. Good range of food and drink offered throughout the day.

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.

Treated like royalty
One of the best hotel stays I've had. Although it's a 5 minute walk from the main part of town, this secluded spot has its own beaches and allows for canoe and paddle boat use. The location is absolutely beautiful and worth the trip. There is a restaurant in the main level that serves delicious, home cooked meals. The service was also extraordinary. Emma and the owner were friendly, easy to talk to, and always helpful. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Lovely,peaceful place to stay...
We stayed for a week in September and loved it. The family who run this little hotel are lovely and make you feel really welcome.The village has 2 little supermarkets and several restaurants to choose from,although you may not choose to eat elsewhere once you've tasted Mama's great cooking ;-) Our apartment had 2 large rooms and also 2 balconies,very spacious.Great value for price paid especially as you get free sun loungers,kayaks and pedalo. They will also come and pick you up from the boat (the distance is only around 400metres but a bit tricky with wheeled luggage on sandy track!) and will arrange to take you back to the boat too...and in my case rushed back down to the boat again with stuff i'd left in a drawer ,such nice people :-) We have tried to book 2 weeks next year but sadly they are fully booked.

Sweet corner is a nice place, located perhaps 400-500 meters outside of the village proper. On the plus side this means the hotel has its own beach with parasols, sun chairs, canoes and a pedalo - on the minus side the sun is baking hot when you walk the path. So a distance that I would normally think nothing of became a bit of a pain when you needed to cross it around noon. You do not need to walk with luggage, however, as the hotel owner will drive you (there is no road to Agia Roumeli but there are still a few cars in the village). He also drove us to the beginning of Samaria Gorge. As for the apartment itself, it was very spacious and nice, but a bit on the dirty side (towels and sheets impeccably clean however), almost no cooking implements, and hard to get to a decent temperature, despite the airconditioning in one of the rooms.

Sweet Corner is the perfect description
This is a very sweet corner of the world indeed. Up on the cliffs just a few 100 meters from the ferry dock but feels like a perfect tiny little remote paradise. Amazing views of the crystal clear water from our large, clean room (complete with refrigerator and tiny kitchenette). Not fancy but everything you need and the genuine care and attention from the owner is priceless. We wanted to hike just a few hours of the Samarian Gorge with our 12-year old (who also, by the way, spent hours in the free kayaks paddling himself around between the hotel and the town on the waveless waters). The owner drove us to the entry point, saving us time (and pre-teen grumbling) and making the hike all the more enjoyable. The food is lovely, the beds are comfortable, but come for the hospitality, the views, the swimming, the quiet, and the easy access to the gorge.

Private beach was a great bonus!
Sweet Corner Masxali was a bit further further out along the shoreline in the small village of Agia Roumeli. The lovely benefit was a small private beach with the Mediterranean's crystal clear warm water. Kayaks, chairs, bikes available for your use, though after hiking through Samaria Gorge, we preferred just to swim. The hotel is basic and clean, with a/c if needed. Our room opened onto a deck (happily, with clothesline & pins). Food was good; view of the shoreline from the hotel's patio -- spectacular.
