This is an excellent resort for a relaxing break with excellent staff, gym facilities and excellent daily yoga class. The spa treatments were great and all rooms of a high standard. Although the Half Board option is a buffet the food was amazing and we would recommend this hotel :)

We stayed at Numo for my partners 30th birthday last week and could not fault it! The staff are incredible and go above and beyond to make your stay incredible with genuine kindness.. Everything about this hotel is beautiful. The pools, the beach, the restaurants. We went on some lovely day trips from the hotel with advice from the staff. Such a special place, will go back.

The staff at the Numoierapetra were amazing - helpful, friendly and so keen to make our stay as good as it could be. The rooms were clean, the beds and showers great, and the main pool area with the bar had a great vibe! Our group really enjoyed the excellent morning yoga at 8am with a really good teacher - a great way to start the day! The food in the main buffet restaurant was much better than we expected, with an excellent variety of choices that changed every day. It was a la carte quality rather than 'hotel buffet' standard. And the location of the main restaurant was lovely, overlooking the sea. Perfect for breakfast and also sunset. The spa treatments were great and the spa therapists lovely, just like the rest of the staff. The location of the restaurant means that there is not a lot that you can walk to, but with such a lovely resort you do not really need to leave it!

The hotel itself is lovely, very modern, impeccably clean. W loved the little private beach as the sea was a perfect temperature! The only negative is every day between 12-3pm a DJ plays banging “Ibiza tunes” and you cant get away from it. It is such a strange vibe as most people there when we were there were of an older generation and every time he started up there were groans from everyone around us!! You couldn’t escape the sound- we could hear it on the beach!
We were half board and food was decent, not amazing. There was always a good choice of fish, meat and vegetables but it wasn’t a high standard.
The main thing that would not make us return was the area that it is in. Its not exactly great, with very little to see or do. You couldn’t walk from the hotel either as its on the main road so in order to go for a walk after a meal we had to drive to the local village Ierapetra which was OK but not very quaint.
So overall a good enough hotel but not in the best area and a bit silly with the banging tunes after lunch!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly remarkable hotel that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the staff made us feel right at home.
A special mention goes to Fay and Despina in the spa area, whose kindness and professionalism ensured a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Her warm-hearted nature added a special touch to our stay.
Our dining experiences were equally outstanding, thanks to a wonderful waitress named Raphelia and Mathilde. They went above and beyond to ensure every meal was perfect, catering to our every need with a smile. The entire staff, in fact, was incredibly attentive, striving to fulfill even the smallest of our wishes, which made the already fantastic resort even better.
The hotel's location is ideal for those seeking peace and tranquility. With a serene atmosphere, a beautiful beach, and a pristine pool, we found it to be the perfect retreat. The food was exceptional, offering a variety that left nothing to be desired. The buffet, in particular, was one of the best we have ever experienced.
While there were a couple of minor drawbacks, they did not detract from our overall experience. The presence of wild cats, which the resort cannot control, and the occasional strong winds were the only issues we encountered. However, these were small inconveniences in what was otherwise a flawless stay.
We will definitely be returning to this wonderful hotel and highly recommend it to anyone

Fantastic staff, great service in all areas of the hotel.
Wonderful breakfast options.
Could make more of the beach and pool facilities, which have great location but spoiled by assuming guests need music and a DJ from midday to create 'ambience'. In the evening only would be better,

Good hotel could be great…
Good hotel, could be great but service lets it down. From waiting to be seated to being served…getting restaurant staff attention was very frustrating. Staff literally avoid eye contact or defer to someone else when you do make contact & then you are waiting again! We found it really strange as it was the majority of staff (with a couple of exceptions.. Manos always reliable & pleasant). It is shame as it is a nice hotel, with good amenities and lovely setting but I wouldn’t return due to the poor service. At this standard of hotel it should be exceptional!

Don’t be fooled by the pics
Didn’t look as stunning as the beautiful images online (bravo to marketing) the hotel itself is nice, but on arrival I didn’t have a room and got moved. The atmosphere was dry. Full of German and Russians. None of the restaurants or cafes were open, we had to eat a buffet meal twice a day (not terrible food, but it wasn’t Greek, it was catering for German and Russian palette) you get charged for coffee pods in your room lol (only hotel I’ve ever stayed and been charged 1.5euro for a coffee or tea bag)
The Germans took all the loungers (towels out at 7am) so I’m just grateful I was with my best friend and we laughed our way through it.
If you want a holiday where nobody speaks or makes eye contact and is in bed by 9pm this is perfec

Wunderschöne Anlage- Adults Only- wie ein kleines Dorf gestaltet
Der Poolbereich liegt direkt neben dem Meer, das sauber, klar und herrlich zum Schwimmen ist ( Badeschuhe sind zu empfehlen)
Das Restaurant hat eine tolle Lage mit Blick aufs Meer und Pool
Man kann im Hotel essen ( Buffet), oder fährt mit dem Wagen ins 10 Minuten entfernte Ierapetra- hier gibt es eine gute Auswahl an sehr guten Tavernen
One Bedroom Suite- Hervorragend
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
