Modern room with beautiful bathroom(some problem with the jet of the shower because of scale but nothing dramatic). Rooms are a little bit noisy but it’s the price to pay to be directly in the village, and it’s worth it: earing the sea sound of waves while you are sleeping is priceless. The staff is really nice, also breakfast and restaurant is really good. I would totally recommend this structure for your stay in sfakia!

Very good hotel with very good food in a very pleasant seafront setting.
Staff - all young, male and healthy looking - could have provided assistance to older travellers carrying suitcases up and down two flights of stairs, but seemed unwilling to do so

Beautiful spot
What a BEAUTIFUL place! We stayed in a suite room with the most incredible sea view, I want to wake up there every day!
The staff were all incredibly friendly, Yiannis (1&2), Maria and Andreas in particular were amazing!
As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a welcome drink and helped with sorting parking and luggage.
Our room was gorgeous, a small living area with sofa/single bed, fridge and dressing table, then a small bathroom and then beautiful bedroom with balcony over looking the harbous and small beach, we could have spent hours watching the boats going in and out.
The food in the hotel is amazing and the coffee and cocktails fantastic (Andreas makes a mean coffee and even meaner cocktail!)
In a three week trip this was our favourite spot and we are already planning a return!
We took the small ferry from the harbour outside the hotel (not the main port) for the day to Loutros and sweet water which was incredible! Would recommend avoiding the weekends for this though as it was very busy! Really wish we had had longer here.

A stunning room with a beautiful beach view. The bed was so comfortable and Ioved my stay. I only rated it lower in maintenance because the hotel was having works done including interior decorating and building works. Because it was low season the bar wasn’t open either.

Very Well posiciones in front Of the sea, with a nice beach at 300 meters or so.
Bed And mattress a bit too old.
As there is a restaurant it,s a bit noisy til 23, and then you can hear the waves which is wonderful…

Livikon is a cute bay front property. Our room overlooked the water. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Check in was easy. Unfortunately there is not much to do in the area as Safkion seems to be a small port/fishing town. However the people were friendly and thankfully we had a car to explore the southern regions of Crete. If you stay here, be sure to eat breakfast at the small bakery behind the hotel. The pastries were amazing.

Parking facile car l’hôtel fournit un bon gratuit.
Accueil et gentillesse remarquable de tout le personnel, dont Yannis et Marie, mais tout le monde est formidable.
La vue est aussi remarquable.
Cet hôtel mérite des louanges.

Belle surprise !😊
Belle surprise que cet hôtel pris à la hâte. Petit village typique comme on les aime 😉. Charmant petit port de pécheurs abritant les restaurants en première ligne. Réception agréable et enregistrement rapide. Adorable chambre 24 qui est juste un petit bijou. 2ème et dernier étage avec son petit balcon sur le port et la mer. Tout a été rénové avec goût et simplicité. Diner et petit déjeuner parfaits. Un plus: le manager du restaurant parle Francais.!😊
