Why we like it:
Romantic, quality, luxury in a perfect waterfront, scenic setting. Indoor
heated pool, heated private pools for suites. Calm & character.
Luxury
and character. Intimate areas and sea-front seclusion.
From the distinctive entrance area, reception and lounges, as you
turn into St Nicolas Bay, you experience a magical arrival.
St Nicolas Bay is distinctive in its spacious stone and whitewashed
buildings, its small clusters of rooms or more individual suites and
bungalows. A style that mixes Cretan traditional with contemporary
Mediterranean
and adds its own unique relaxing pace and method.
Thoughtful design extends to bathrooms with twin washbasin and WC
separate from bath or shower. Picture windows bring the sea to you.
Suites with your own private pool are delightful, well-furnished, well
equipped and stocked with the eye-pleasing view of the blue sea, the
blue sky, the Mirabello gulf.
Service. Service is an art, a beautiful art when practiced at St
Nicolas Bay. A most professionally run, truly hospitable and friendly, luxury hotel. Nothing is impossible here, yet you are likely to want very
little.
The indoor heated pool is a cushion against early or late season
weather fluctuations. A spa offers massage and various wellness,
beauty and relaxation or moisturizing treatments for face and body,
with a
highly trained staff.

IN THE AREA
What's around when you wish to see the sights? Agios Nikolaos itself
provides all the shops from clothes and gifts to news, book and
paraphernalia shops to cafes, attractive bars above and around the
"lake" and harbour to a range of restaurants covering many tastes.
Explore and you can visit villages on the road to Sitia - one of the
most scenic coastal roads anywhere. The fine monastery of Toplou
beyond Sitia merits a visit....perhaps with a pause in Sitia itself.
In the other direction pass through Elounda and carry on to Plaka for
fresh fish at the water's edge, with the Pasolini-esque view of
Spinalonga island opposite.
DISTANCES
1.5 km from centre of Agios Nikolaos town, 65 km from Heraklion
airport.
CreteTravel.com guest experiences of St Nicolas Bay[Click here to SHOW/HIDE]
Just want to let you know that we loved Crete.
Driving was so easy compared to other cities in Europe.
St. Nicolas Hotel was great as was our room.

We ate dinner mostly in town as we thought it was much better than hotel food. Great restaurants, nice people, wonderful weather. Can't ask for more.
Thanks for all your help
Robert Kupp
We had a great time. The prompt quality service you provided, the hotel and
the hirecar were all excellent.
Minor areas that could be improved.....
The pool at the hotel never had enough vacant chairs/loungers as guests
apparently could reserve them by placing a towel on them (the
guests would then disappear for hours). This was our only frustration.
All in all we had a great time and would recommend Crete, the hotel and your
organisation to our friends and colleagues.
Many thanks for your assistance.

It was a very nice trip and I had a great time with my daughter. The hotel is lovely although a bit expensive in my opinion for what you get. For example, the pool was not heated and it is quite cold already [October visit] to swim like this. It was a good decision to take a car and driving was ok and I found my way around without a problem.
