Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 7 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Set along the coast of Hersonissos, Abaton Island Resort & Spa combines Cretan design cues with private pools, hot tubs, and a dedicated beachfront. It suits couples and families seeking a self-contained luxury base with varied dining options, rather than travelers wanting a compact boutique stay.
Guests score it 9 out of 10 — the average across the 35 hotels we list in Crete is 9.1.
What Guests Loved
- Nearly every accommodation category includes a private plunge pool, outdoor hot tub, or terrace, giving guests a sense of seclusion rarely found at large-scale resorts.
- Guests can walk straight from their room to a dedicated private beach area, avoiding the crowds often found on public stretches nearby Hersonissos.
Things to Consider
- With multiple pools, venues, and expansive grounds, the property leans toward a full-scale resort experience rather than a boutique or intimate retreat.
- During peak summer months, the private beach and pool areas may see higher occupancy, so early risers often secure the best loungers.
