Crete, Hersonissos, Hersonissos 🧭 Map
Absolutely great resort!
Great food and service
The rooms are super clean; all area’s are clean and well maintained.
The pools are awesome and never have to be afraid you can’t get a spot.
I honestly have to say the best all-inclusive resort I have been to.
Would recommend to everybody; there is a lot to do for elderly, youngsters, teens families and even adults only parts of you like to get away...
A wonderful all inclusive hotel with excellent food/drink quality and options. The resort is huge but feels like a small village. Certain areas are busy but there are so many different areas that quieter spots can always be found. Perfect blend of family friendly and luxury. Can't wait to return.
The hotel, the staff especially deserve a big 5 star 🌟 review. Hospitality best we've had - ever.
Combination of local mentality and hotel DNA made the trip incredible.
The parts that need to be improved.
Hotel gym is well equipped, but it hosts local people as well which makes the weight room tight.
Food - great but could be better and a wider variety.
Off the charts.

Absolutely perfect in every way! The cleanliness is impeccable, the rooms are comfortable and well-maintained, the pools are spotless, the beach is beautiful, and the restaurants offer a wide and delicious selection. The surrounding landscape is stunning – everything is ideal for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
A big compliment for also thinking of early departures and late arrivals – full...
We had a great stay at Creta Maris Resort. The all inclusive setup makes it super relaxing – you don’t have to think about anything and can fully unwind.
Most staff were friendly and helpful, except for one or two at Enomy Restaurant whose English made communication tricky, and the luggage staff who seemed a bit indifferent.
Food-wise, I recommend booking the à la carte restaurants. Buffets offer...
Hi everyone,
We spent 7 days here for the second time.
I would say it's not an accident.
Honestly, I would come here in every year if I could do.
Why? Because,
it's perfect choice for real 5 stars lover.
it's perfect choice for families.
it's perfect choice for romantic types.
it's perfect choice for food lover.
it's perfect choice for cleanliness lover.

ARB is a great family beach featuring a lot of great amenities. It has a sweet children’s club. From 1-3 there is a small daily fee, then from 4 and up, it is free. There is also a free kids buffet every day for lunch that is fabulous. The new water park is also just great! The lifeguards are attentive. There is also a snack bar with pizza, ice cream and drinks. The main restaurant as well as the Italian...
We had a great time. The hotel is a bit dated in some parts (like the ancient elevators) but the staff does a great job too keep it up. Out room was nice and clean. Aircon worked great and it was silent. It was a bit small for 3 but serviceable.
There was a good selection of food and everything tasted great. Dining experience was top notch.
The beach is a combo of sand and pebbles. Unfortunately there...
Overall it was a lovely holiday. The hotel is clean and the location is brilliant - on the beach and only 10 minutes from the old town. The sea view room was clean but basic - maybe a little dated. The bath wasn’t big enough to shower in comfortably. The food was outstanding, by far the best I have had at a European all inclusive. 3 restaurants to choose from too with lots of variety daily. The one...
Once again this hotel did not disappoint! We love coming here, the food, gardens, beach and staff are really all outstanding. The hotel is traditionally decorated and not ultra modern but it’s very tastefully done. Great care is taken to keep the hotel and grounds impeccably clean and tidy at all times and I have to say the grounds are stunning. In advance of our stay I contacted the hotel directly...
We have traveled enough and seen enough! This hotel has everything you need for your family holiday! Room was nice (a bit aged but still absolutely ok to stay, service was great, personnel in the hotel is friendly and helpful. Food was plenty to choose from and if you go for all inclusive there is nothing to worry about. I don’t consume alcohol- so this is the thing I can’t comment much. As an advice...
Nice place, it has many swimming pools, large beach, a big area, but I would like to highlight “La Pergola” restaurant! The staff is amazing!! Friendly, smiling, joking, you feel like in a Michelin-star restaurant! Also thank you to Edmir, the supervisor and a waiter, for good mood and such a professionalism! Was a good time!

Crete, Agia Pelagia, Agia Pelagia 🧭 Map
A good hotel, actually. Unfortunately, there are too many flaws. It definitely needs some remodeling, and the hotel has a lot of flaws in general. The food was okay, but I think more fish and Greek cuisine in general should be offered. The hotel guests, once again, are world-class, slapping their hands on their food, so EU travel is as usual. A rather European cliché. A huge resort, unfortunately,...
If it had a rating of 1000 I would give it to the staff. Cretan hospitality at its best!
It was really nice, the food could have been better for all inclusive but overall the stay was great.
We had our honeymoon from 20-27.09 and everything was wonderful. The food, the beach, the staff attitude and the restaurants.
We received an upgraded room and a late check-out because of delayed flight for free.
It was the best decision for a holiday at this hotel.
We have a beautiful room looking out to the sea. Our room is lovely and spacious, and the food and service by all the staff is really good. The beach has plenty of sunbeds and a bar, and the beach restaurant serves good food. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Pro: The location of the resort is wonderful! The room was spacious, the air conditioning worked very well, and the room was cleaned every day. The staff was very professional... perfect service (at the beach bar, restaurant, and other places where drinks were served). I liked that the staff always helped immediately with a smile on their faces. The whole place is amazing.

Absolutely amused by how very professional the misuse was, I would most definitely recommend to anyone use this spa when and never would you regret doing so many thanks My appreciation goes to specialist Albora
We stopped here for 10 nights. Overall it was a great stay. The children really enjoyed exploring all pools. Some reviews say you don’t need to reserve but by the time we got up the beds were all taken so I would suggest going out to the pools earlier. The food wasn’t bad. It’s was you expect from an all inclusive holiday. Same with the drinks! I bought coke from the shop as there’s wasn’t the best...

Fantastic family friendly hotel with a beautiful beach!
We've visited Pilot Beach Resort two years in a row with our very young children (1 and 3 years old) and it's been a wonderful experience both times.
The beach is amazing, clean, safe and with (most of the time) calm waters. It’s ideal for families.
The rooms are as shown in the pictures and being close to the beach is definitely worth it....
First day and already incredibly disappointed. The accommodation "bungalow" is nothing more than a small room with a terrace worth mentioning. And then at the very end of the area, right on the main road. In the restaurant I was sent away because I was wearing flip-flops, while women were allowed to do so # discriminatory. Men in sandals or Birkenstocks were allowed in, while I was allowed to walk...
Fabulous hotel. Less than an hour from the airport. The staff are all so hard working and friendly. We had a pool view room, a family suit. Plenty of space in it. Would have liked a bit more privacy as we had a teenager with us and she struggled with anywhere to get dressed as it was open plan. But a lovely modern and clean room.

Great Holiday in a Great Hotel. Rooms are modern and spacious. Even with high occupancy you have a good feeling as the area is so big. Food is delicious in all restaurants. Specials need to get paid additional even when you have HB or AI. Animation is soft. For the kids there is a nice kids club. The Spa has Sauna, steam bath and a indoor pool. The beach is fantastic. Overall recommend this place.
Great for families, the hotel has lot of attractions for children. The beach and pool areas are organized and good infra structure. Food is also very good, served in three restaurants. Rooms are comfortable.
Great facilities, one of the friendliest staff, variety of activities during the day, entertaining evenings, big variety buffet. Totally recommend!!

An amazing performance suitable for the whole family. I highly recommend Alice in Wonderland - it was absolutely magical from start to finish. The production was captivating, the actors were incredibly talented, and the staging and costumes were stunning. Every moment was filled with creativity, humor, and charm. A truly unforgettable experience that both children and adults will enjoy!
The gym coach is amazing! Super friendly, helpful, and always in a great mood he made my workouts here even better. The hotel itself is fantastic too.. great vibe and everything well taken care of!
Lyttos mare is such a beautiful hotel - the staff were so attentive and couldn’t fault the food, the cleanliness & facilities!

Nikos gym is a very nice coach, he takes time for his clients and he has a very decent and good knowledge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We stayed at Lyttos Mare with two teenagers for a week in August 2025 in a two bedroom room with an individual pool. We have stayed in many five star hotels over the years, and this is at the top of the list so far.

Exceptionally neat and exceptionally comfortable. The service rendered is of the highest quality. While there is room for improvement in the meals offered (please note that I have dietary restrictions concerning pork, seafood, and milk-based meat preparations), there was always a diverse range of food options available, and I managed to find suitable choices.

It was my first time staying in an all-inclusive hotel. The hotel was modern and well decorated. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

Really nice hotel with plenty of good facilities and a great layout. The pool is enormous and well lit so it really stands out at night and the private beach is a lovely touch. The food does let it down though. The buffet can become quite tiresome and repetitive and the food quality is certainly not the best. Even the a la carte options aren’t brilliant but overall it was a relaxing stay with plenty...
The best all-in hotel we have been to. A very friendly and personalized welcome, impeccable and smiling service everywhere, superb infrastructure, a wonderful swimming pool, the cuisine is very good and made with fresh and quality products, the cocktails are excellent, the room (upgraded) was very comfortable ... In short, it's a 10/10!
Disappointed. Won’t go back there because of the food, which tasted really cheap to me. The coffee, which was somewhat fine, was only served at the pool bar. Apart from that, the hotel is quite new and nice, with great pools.

This hotel has the most stunning setting of any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The main pool is especially gorgeous. Their all-inclusive meals were high quality and dining room service was great. Bar service was a little slow during happy hour time.

My siblings and I had a pleasant stay at Mitsis Rinela. The rooms were extremely comfortable, clean, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The restaurants had a wide variety of food to choose from, and there was entertainment on every night we were there. Definitely a hotel to stay at during a visit to Heraklion.
Best resort I’ve stayed at in years. Great food, pool and private beach. The room was immaculate and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Our experience at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional! Having enjoyed several all-inclusive holidays in the past, we can confidently say this one stands out as the best by far.
The variety of food options was simply incredible—there was so much to choose from that we were spoiled for choice! From an abundance of healthy dishes to excellent vegetarian options, every meal was a delight.

It was a beautiful vacation. The hotel has many swimming pools, especially for adults, but it also has 3 swimming pools for children... one for children/babies 2 - 3 years old which is covered with a tarpaulin to create shade and be able to take advantage of it at any time of the day... and the other 2 are right next to the adult one.

What a stunning hotel! Calm. Peaceful. I stayed in one of the apartment suites overlooking the ocean. Staff always go out of the way. I’m a vegan and they specifically looked for and made special dishes for me every day! The beach is sandy but not necessarily amazing. But nice enough. Great service. It won’t disappoint!
Amirandes has an outstanding architecture and nice sea access. Beach is small, but nice. Katharina from reception did an outstanding job in sorting a view things out for us, super fast, nice and always customer first. We really enjoyed this!
Very nice hotel in a beautiful location that gives views of sunsets over the water. Rooms are good. Pools are nice. A good amount of staff around the property, pool, and beach. Every kid walks away not wanting to leave Ms. Helena. I can see where some might find the food repetitive.
Easily the best hotel/resort we have ever stayed at. We had our wedding at Amirandes and also stayed for a few nights. The whole wedding planning process was seamless thanks to their professional staff. You can see how luxury the hotel is right from the main gate entrance. We will definitely go back again!
Beautiful hotel, friendly personell (especially Mr. Nikos was very helpful), nice outdoor gym and tennis/padel courts, large pool and private beach. I expected a bit more of the buffet but overall an amazing experience :)) thank you for the pleasant stay
Other than the architecture of the lobby and entrance area and the good natured staff, it was the worst stay I have ever experienced. They sell u the room as luxury sea view and you pay over euro 500 a night for a run down room. Food is mediocre, WiFi doesn’t work, and staff are ill trained to handle customer demands. This is a euro 200 a night at best.

Staff were super friendly and went above and beyond. Hotel was modern, big and had lots of pools. Rooms were clean and fresh. Restraunt for all inclusive was lovely! Views were also great looking onto beach while eating. Would definitely recommend. The only things to improve would be that by 9am all sunbeds was taken. I think staff should go around and remove towels from reserved beds. You could only...
Perfect hotel, very friendly staff and we were always feeling velcome. We were travelling with one handicapped child in a wheelchair and the staff always looked after us and were very welcoming. What we expreienced as a bit negative was that even though all signs were saying that reserving sun beds were "illegal" most people did this every day so that if we were to get seats beside the pool before...
Platannias Ariston is one of the best charter hotels we have stayed in. We visited the hotel 2 years ago, and we had to come back. This is a small hotel with only 14 rooms. The service is personal and excellent, rooms are very good with everything you need, you have your own place on the beach and it is just a very short walk before you are in the center of Platannias. All this make your holiday perfect...
The best hotel in Platanias. Special thanks to Dimitri from entertainment team, who made our stay so fun. Best memories from his water aerobics class and water polo.
My family and I (2 kids under 10) stayed at Porto Platanias beach resort over Easter and it was fantastic! Highly recommend. All the staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The food was delicious for any meal and snacks were great by the pool too for All inclusive. We have some food allergies in the family and they were accommodating and helpful to be sure we had all we needed. The Amination...

Crete, Agios Nikolaos, Vathi 🧭 Map
Daios cove, or as I may say a cove of dreams. My family and I stayed here during the end of July to early August and this resort is absolutely exceptional. The views of the cove are absolutely phenomenal and the sea is pristine and clear. Without a doubt, this is one of the best hotels I have stayed in, in Greece. Let’s start of with the room, we stayed in one of the villas in the resort, situated...
The ultimate hospitality experience ! Facilities, food, accommodation was exceptional ! Thanks to F&B manager Antonis and F&B assistant George our stay was simply perfect. Thank you all guys for the unforgettable memories!
This was our first time at Hotel Dayos, and our experience was very positive. The hotel has a private beach that is simply spectacular. Although the beach area isn’t very large, we always managed to find loungers available. The main pool area was crowded and it was hard to find loungers, but fortunately, we had a private pool in our room, which made a big difference. Service was a bit mixed: many...
Daios Cove is truly magical. It features a stunning private bay, a dreamy infinity pool, and food that is genuinely worth talking about—every meal was a delight. The atmosphere is relaxed yet feels special, and the views from the room are the kind that make you stop and stare. Mornings began with coffee on the balcony, and evenings concluded with a swim as the sun set. What really stood out was the...
It was our third visit to Daios Cove and I wonder each time if can be as good as the last, especially since there was a joy of discovering this superb hotel in the first place. But once again bowled over by the quality throughout. The food, the service, the drinks, location, the attention to detail - it’s all there and held together by an overall warmth of the welcome. You can tell each team member...
I stayed here few nights for a family retreat and it was amazing. I would like to point out the staff service that was exceptional!!! Special kudos to George, who stands out from all of them. Very kind and always smiley! Highly recommended!

Crete, Ierapetra, Katharades 🧭 Map
We stayed for 11 nights at the beginning of July as a family of 3 and we had a wonderful stay. All the beaming reviews are correct in saying how beautiful the place is. It is very well designed with active/family friendly and Adult only areas and the finishes and quality of the furniture and structures are spectacular and luxurious. We even appreciated the quality of the sound and lighting at the Animation...
Everything was perfect. Especially the rooms. New towels every day, perfect cleaning and the best part is that we had a the fridge that actually cooled the things in it to really cold. The food in every restaurant/diners was very great also. We have visited this hotel a few times and we are most certainly gonna visit Ostria again.
The whole stay was great, I recommend this resort to anyone. The only thing I want to pin point is that the pools could be more clean, For sea lovers, the sea here is great, nice warm and clean. And finally one tip for adventurous teavellers, there is nothing in the near vicinity of the resort. You have to rent a car and travel a bit. The nearest point of interest is Lerapetra town and a waterfall...
This is an adults-only hotel, which is clearly not designed for families with children — and that’s fine, but the overall experience was far from relaxing or enjoyable. The entertainment and animation were extremely poor, almost non-existent, and definitely not up to any reasonable standard. The weather was another issue — extremely windy, and I don’t mean a pleasant breeze. It was the kind of wind...
Overall we had a lovely stay . The hotel was beautifully presented and very clean . We booked through Jet2 holidays which brands this a 5* luxe collection hotel but I wouldn’t say this is a luxe standard of hotel. The food was good but the drink selection and cocktails were not the standard you would expect for a luxe collection of hotels. The hotel is also part of club eldorador and seems it mainly...
Nice big comfy beds ,pillows were the best ive ever had couldn't really fault it , only moan ,is nobody explained using the safe .maybe my fault ?
