The staff were friendly and very helpful. We had two stays in the hotel within a week as we booked a few extra days. The dining options were excellent and the rooms we had were both lovely. Also noteworthy was the spa. The ladies were very nice and I enjoyed my pedicure. The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Hope to visit again soon.

The property was as beautiful as we suspected, if not more. Right on the water with great parking out front. We had drinks at the property bar/restaurant and all the staff were so wonderful and fun. ALL the staff was amazing. We are looking forward to coming back with our family soon!

The staff was incredibly kind and professional. We went for part of our honeymoon and offer the dinner as complimentary. There are some mosquitoes and bees in the room because the independent pool is surrounded by tree but, we had plug in repellent that we brought which was useful. The buffet quality and staff from dining was awesome.

Wonderful luxury hotel. Walking distance to beach and a few very good restaurants. Only had one issue with service from one waitress and one room repair issue. If you like modern boutique experiences then NEMA is for you.

I had a wonderful stay at NEMA Design Hotel & Spa. The location is perfect, set in a beautiful and relaxing area that makes it easy to unwind from the moment you arrive. The hotel’s design and facilities are truly impressive, creating a comfortable and stylish environment throughout the property. What really stood out was the exceptional service. From the warm welcome at the reception to the attentive and friendly staff in the restaurant, every interaction made the stay even more enjoyable. The team goes above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable and well cared for. Overall, NEMA Design Hotel & Spa provided the perfect blend of relaxation, comfort, and outstanding service. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning!

We had a lovely stay at the NEMA hotel. The service was superb and very attentive, the selection of food and drinks included in the All-Inclusive Option was great and the hotel itself is very beautiful. We stayed for 8 nights and shared a bigger double room (3 persons) with a balcony and sea view. Can definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who enjoys the quiet without any kids around the hotel area. Thanks a lot to the staff!

Unbelievable from start to finish. We had a premier suite with a private pool which was incredible. The hotel team were amazing and so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they really made the stay memorable. Restaurants were great with plenty of choice. Service around the pool was fantastic and the cleaning services were perfect. I highly recommend this hotel for any couple looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway

New name still the great quality as before.

We last stayed here when it was called the Elysium. Then it was superb hence the easy choice for returning. Barring a door key issue that was resolved easily enough everything has been perfect. The food here is really good, breakfast is buffet but high in quality. The dinner we had here the food was plentiful and again buffet. Drinks are good quality too. Another great stay this time we picked a designer room with a pool. Just brilliant. Good quality for a fair price. We will be back again. They upgraded the sun loungers to proper comfortable ones and the umbrellas are also changed. Barring that it’s the same great service and quality your money deserves!

Stunning Hotel Experience with Some Caveats

Nestled in the stunning heart of Crete, this hotel offers a luxurious sanctuary with chic beachfront views and contemporary design. My room, featuring a private pool, provided seclusion, and the staff were warm and accommodating, offering helpful tips on car rentals. However, housekeeping and room service need improvement, as I experienced issues like delayed restocking, missing bathroom towels, and unfulfilled room service requests. The minibar fridge was empty, and dust was noticeable in the breakfast area. I enjoyed the spa's beautiful environment, but my therapist did not fully listen to my needs, so clear communication is essential to ensure a satisfying experience. Overall, the hotel’s food is delicious, and the staff are truly exceptional.

We have just finished our 2 week honeymoon at Nema. We had the King and Queen treatments at Nema’s spa which had been a gift from my sister, this was a great surprise when checking in and was incredible, the spa itself is beautiful and so relaxing. The hotel is lovely, clean and modern and we were so happy with our room (design independent with private pool) what made our stay even better was the hospitality from staff members, they truly made our experience and were so helpful. A special mention to Odysseas, Soumaya, Nikos, Rustiv, Paris, Marianthis and Mandrin - they really make Nema what it is and add to the experience of the hotel - all staff mentioned went above and beyond to make our stay great! So friendly and approachable with no ask too big or small. I hope they are recognised for the large impact they have on all guests who stay with Nema! Last but not least the food, the food was incredible - everything in Rizes was cooked to perfection and was beautifully served. The breakfast and dinner buffets were amazing and each evening there was a different theme with an array of dishes to try. We really loved Cretan night and the live music! I would recommend Nema Design and Spa to anyone, it was such a great way to spend our honeymoon!
