5 star hotels on first line in Crete

Great rooms. Great staff. Lovely scenery. Beautiful place, well managed and serene.

Fantastic family holiday at Lyttos Beach We had a wonderful stay at Lyttos Beach. The hotel has excellent facilities, and the staff truly go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. While it’s not a luxury resort, it’s absolutely perfect for families looking for plenty to do on vacation. The sports facilities at the Lyttos Beach Sports Centre are world-class, and there’s something for everyone...

One of the best resorts we’ve ever encountered: amazing food variety and quality, competent and friendly staff, excellent facilities, great beach and pools, convenient location.

There was some ants on the room After calling the room service they send housekeeping And he

The beach is amazing, the pools are very nice and clean, the staff and dining was great, we had an amazing time and we’re very happy that we booked this resort for two weeks!

The resort is huge so although it was full, you couldn’t feel it. Nice activities, lots of pools, you can always find a spot with a sun bed in one of the pools. The variety of food is good and you can can always find what (and where) to eat. We had a great time!

This is a lovely resort, really quite unique as it's like being in a village. There are 7 restaurants which is nice as you can have a different dinner experience instead of the buffet all the time. Most staff we came across were friendly and helpful, especially at the bars and reception. The staff at the Enomy main buffet restaurant were mostly okay but many staff were rude or not attentive at all...

The resort was beautiful and well maintained. If you want any drinks with American liquor there us an upcharge.

We had an absolutely amazing holiday at Creta Maris! 🌞 The resort exceeded every expectation — beautifully designed, spotless, and full of charm. The restaurants offer something for everyone, from delicious local dishes to international favourites, all cooked to perfection. The pools are crystal-clear and plentiful, so there’s always a perfect spot to relax. The bars serve fantastic drinks in a great...

We had a great stay here over the past few days. Great food, drinks, beach and vibes. We especially liked Aris at Idaia bar who made us great cocktails! The hotel is divided into different areas making it great for families with lots of activities, and couples who want their quiet areas and great drinks and music with a view. Would definitely come here again!

We had a wonderful stay here, and highly recommend it. My husband and I brought our 1 year old, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly with the baby. My parents also came, and the staff were very supportive & helpful to them, as my mother is currently on a walking stick. The spa is amazing, I had a brilliant treatment with Stella, she has magic hands! Would come back again in an...

I spent a week at the resort all-inclusive with my daughter. After initially being given a somewhat noisy room, we requested a quieter one, which was immediately accommodated. My daughter loved the kids' club (bookable online) and the staff there. Only very special things (i.e. special wine at dinner) were charged extra. Otherwise, all drinks and snacks were included. The food was always delicious...

A little bit late writing my review but better late than never. We’ve been coming for a few years now, previously stayed at the Porto in Rethymnon, but Mr Damanakis is an exceptional general manager and his attention to detail and customer care is reflected by his entire staff so when he moved to this hotel so did we. We stayed 4th to 14th September 2025 and as always our stay was fantastic. The hotel...

My partner and I stayed for two weeks at this hotel mid October. Room 258 had fabulous sea views and most nights we were treated to the most wonderful Sunsets. People have mentioned that some of the rooms are dated which I don't understand because the room we booked was pretty much the same as the one pictured on the hotels and Jet2 s websites. Our room was slightly old-fashioned, but the furniture...

The Aquila Rithymna Beach is rated as a 5 star hotel possibly because of the proximity to the beach, waterpark and children's facilities, it's an ideal family hotel, however in my opinion it isn't suitable for couples or single people. The hotels focus is definitely on children, I almost felt invisible at times. There are areas of the hotel that need refurbishment i.e. on floor 3 the carpet was actually...

Very well positioned, amazing property indeed, the beach is with small stones but nonetheless ok, very polite employees, food works, definitely not the best, surcharges do reservations at the Greek restaurant are a rip off(20 Eur per person), very high prices at the beach bar as well as the other bars, even in October. Kids are very well taken care of. Overall a good experience

Stunning Sea Views and Wonderful Staff — Ideal for Families, a Bit Busy for Couples This was our first visit to the resort, and overall it was a lovely experience. The property is beautiful, and our room with a full sea view was simply breathtaking. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves made us feel as if we were right at the edge of the Cretan Pelagos — a deeply cleansing and calming...

Fabulous hotel set in lovely, well kept grounds with direct access to beach. The site provides a complete service to ensure a lovely holiday. Reception staff welcoming while professional and committed to ensuring guest satisfaction. Staff throughout the hotel friendly and incredibly hard working. Cleaning and housekeeping staff amazing. Ample sun loungers (most comfortable ones at main pool) and...

We had a really lovely stay at Out of the Blue Hotel in Crete. The location is absolutely wonderful — surrounded by beautiful beaches and stunning views. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade on arrival, which made our stay even better. The reception and restaurant staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly — they really made us feel at home...

We had a fabulous 4 night stay in a 3 bedroom maisonette (upgrade from 2 bedroom maisonette). We were 2 adults and a teenager staying in the last week of the season in October. We each had our own bathroom. The grounds, staff, food, views, all amazing. Our private pool was in shade all of the time but it's probably in sin during the summer months. Lots of mosquitos so plug ins are a must. Deet didn...

It is amazing experience with out of blue.very good hospitality and services I will visit again to the same resort

Al the staff were amazing, welcoming and helpful. There are varying standards of accommodation. We were basic all inclusive we had a lounge with a balcony and on three other floor the bedroom also worth a balcony. A bath with a shower, a walk in shower and two sinks. Serviced evert day.

Unforgettable Honeymoon Stay! My wife and I spent our honeymoon here and it was fantastic! The all-inclusive package was well worth it—great food and drinks, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We mentioned it was our honeymoon and were surprised with a complimentary room upgrade and romantic setup. The resort’s location made it easy to walk to the beach and town each evening. Highly...

Lovely room with sea view. Staff not particularly friendly but helpful when needed. Not explanation of getting a la carte meals whilst there. Pool was very small. Beach was nice but over crowded.

My family and I had a lovely holiday at Gouves. The staff were excellent, particularly Maria at Poseidon Bar who could not do enough for us. Food was excellent: I have two fussy eaters and they could always find something to eat at the Buffet. Snack Bar food excellent. We didnt try the restaurants and stuck with Buffet which a wide range and variety of dishes - even Chinese! The cakes and desserts...

This would qualify as good budget hotel at its best. We came in April and it majority of facilities as to WHY we chose this hotel are closed and not available - play area for kids, indoor pool closed due to construction. The construction site is next to our rooms as hotel is expanding/renovating, although noise managable. Pools freezing cold. There are some areas that are nice visually and clean...

The hotel was truly excellent, and the food was also very good, but the spa was definitely the highlight. I had a massage from Pavlos, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience—very relaxing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend it!

Everything is amazing. The food, the staff but the spa is really exceptional. Eleni has magic hands & I will be back!

My time at the spa was amazing, I cannot fault the service received. When looking at the treatment's, making payment, arriving to the spa session, treatment and attention to detail were amazing.

I received a massage from the lovely Elena, who was very kind and professional. The massage was incredible and incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend it.

We stayed at Galini Palace Hotel — overall, it’s a great option for a relaxing vacation. The staff are very friendly, always ready to help and accommodate guests. Room cleaning was done regularly, and towels were changed every day. The food was varied, with a beautiful buffet-style presentation — there’s something for every taste. The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and spacious, and the rooms with...

Friendly staff, lovely room with comfy beds,all round very clean, lovely food!

Generally a nice stay. General cleaning and maintenance needs improvement. Nothing terrible but given price and 5* needs improvement. Staff friendly. Food nice. Drinks okay. Main pool area nice.

Location was pretty amazing for us, they have a nice pool and a lot of options for kids and adults, and the sea is there with a minute walk. Everything seems new and the staff were polite and helpful. Drinks were awful unfortunately, bad quality, extra sweet even if you asked them to put less syrup, tap water served all the time. No bottled water offered on daily basis in the rooms. We visited for...

The hotel is amazing. The staff is really nice and the location is amazing - it is literally on the beach. The food is really good, usually when I stay in hotels the food is basic but here I feel like every meal comes straight from an amazing restaurant - it is amazing. The rooms are spacious and modern. The place is so big and has so many activities that me and my friend spent the whole first night...

We would gladly come back! We had a wonderful stay at Galini Palace Hotel. The hotel was very comfortable, with a great pool and a fun water park that we really enjoyed. All of the employees were kind and welcoming, especially Mohamed, the restaurant server – his smile, excellent service, and kindness made our experience even better. The only small downside was that we expected a bit more variety...

A lovely big resort with great choices of food and activities. The rooms felt a little bit tired, with mould in the bathrooms, we did go end of season but probably could do with a little bit of TLC. Pools are cold this time of year too (October).

Great resort in a quiet area with a private beach with free sun loungers, beach bar and swimming pool Rooms were nice and spacious, housekeeping stuff was friendly and always wanted to help with anything. Incredible various and always topped up buffet with loads of options. Fully recommend it as an overall for a great family holiday, we went in October half term and everything was on point!

It was beautiful, the food was delicious, something new every day for buffet , the stuff people are friendly and welcoming. Surely we will come again

We had a great stay at the Pilot Beach Resort. We had a family room, which was very spacious and had a separate kids room. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The beach was just wonderful and easy to reach and I really appreciated that there was a life guard , since some days there were quite some waves (in the fun way). There were always enough sun chairs both at the pool and the beach!...

We have been here for about a week now and can only report positive things. The staff is fantastic!!! and the food is excellent. It's a bit of a shame that the all-you-can-eat nature of the restaurant means that the cuisine is somewhat underappreciated. Because a lot of it is really well made and above average! Everything is clean. Minor renovations are needed (for example, the indoor pool), but...

We had the most wonderful time at the Pilot Beach Resort. We were upgraded to a suite when they heard it was our anniversary. The rooms were beautiful and spotless. There were many options for lunch and dinner and the breakfast buffet was amazing. It’s very family friendly there and there are activities for children and adults. It was a beautiful walk to Georgiopolis on the beach. There are cute shops...

We have just booked to come again in 2026 which will be around our 18th holiday to this hotel. We have always loved coming here. The changes that have been made over the last few years are huge. We loved it before but now it’s brought a whole new level. The food is so good. There is so much choice and everyone is catered for in my opinion. The hotel is very clean and tidy. The staff always go...

We’ve just come back from the Atlantica Ocean Beach and had the best holiday. My 2 boys (7&9) loved the kids club and the staff were fantastic. They were excited to go every day and did activities such as go karting, mini golf, treasure hunts and watching films. All the staff around the hotel were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you. The food is very good and better than a lot of 5 star resorts...

Fantastic destination and friendliest staff you could ever wish to meet, from Spiros the manager down everyone of you,you have made us feel at home once again. Myself and my son cannot recommend this hotel highly enough,Thank you all Russ & Michael

We loved this place! We came to visit from Germany with our two kids (ages 5 and 8). The animation team and the activity courses were fantastic — I especially enjoyed the Pilates and the light and refreshing Aqua Fitness sessions. Everything was very clean. We had a room with an ocean view, and the beach was also very clean, beautiful, and not too crowded — we really hope it stays that way because...

5* hotel/holiday. Booked as going to a wedding in Chania but wanted an all inclusive as travelled with my 6 year old. We were about 30 minutes out from Chania Old Town. The hotel is incredible. Very clean, modern and exactly like the photos show. The staff here were great. From the entertainment staff, to the reception staff, chefs, maids, bar staff etc. Each were helpful and friendly. The heart of...

Everything was amazing. The room was perfect , with direct access to the pool. George was fabulous, took care of us throughout our vacation. He prepared a dinner plan for us, each day at a different à la carte restaurant, and the breakfast he ordered was just perfect, breakfast swim to us in the pool, straight to the terrace. Perfect food, perfect entertainment, we really like silence disco ant painting...

I recommend using The Spa. I had a deep tissue massage. Jessie was very good and very professional.

Myself and my partner have really enjoyed our stay at Lyttos Mare. The service from bar staff has been spot on. The entertainment has been amazing... in particular John who is a very warm and funny character. We were very lucky to revieve an upgrade on our room which had a pool!

We booked a different hotel and really didn’t feel comfortable so found this place and transferred here the same night of check in. We were so relieved. Great food, friendly staff, drinks are amazing and the bar staff takes their time to prepare them, beautiful beach and the spa was very relaxing. My daughter and I enjoyed our facials!

The massage here was really good. I was treated by Albora, she was very friendly and polite, and the massage was perfect. The products smell amazing. Highly recommended!!!

It was really cool but the weather Was not so nice. The Food was really good and the people were really friendly and nice

Very nice hotel and facilities. Staff extremely friendly Spa and Massage recommended. Albord did an excellent massage. Thanks!

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive to every detail. The check-in process was smooth, and my room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The bed was incredibly cozy, and the view from the window was stunning. The amenities were top-notch — especially the breakfast buffet, which offered a great...

The dining area felt more like a canteen than a 5 star hotel and the staff were not very attentive, you had to wait ages to even get a glass of water. Our room was upgraded (as there was an electrical fault in our original room).

My fiancé and I stayed here for 1 week at the start of October. Mitsis Rinela is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are beautiful, modern and kept immaculately clean. The rest of the hotel is also beautiful, reflecting the same standard of upkeep. The Reception and main restaurant is a little dated in decor in comparison, but again, immaculately clean. The sun loungers are luxurious and comfortable, with...

Warm welcomed, the guest relations and concierge ladies were lovely, in general the whole front office team. Our room was amazing, modern and clean, every day our mini bar was refilled and the room was being cleaned spotless. The food was good but Steak was amazing. We loved the pool but the beach was wow! Sandy and clean! Felt nice having lifeguards to watch on us. We had a great stay!

Mitsis Rinela exceeded all my expectations! The serene and beautifully designed surroundings instantly put me at ease, making it the perfect escape. The staff here is absolutely wonderful—always smiling and ready to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Our room was a dream—spacious, bright, and immaculately clean. The main restaurant has something for everyone, with a fantastic variety of options...

One of the best hotels in Crete! The environment and design make you feel so relaxed and safe. Staff is amazing and always there smiling and ready to assist. Rooms are clean, luminous and spacious. The Main Restaurant has various options that may cater all kind of preferences and needs. From the a la carte restaurants, I tried the Taverna, which was a lovely greek dining experience and on my last day...

Absolutely superb hotel with staff who really care. The hotel is spotless, and we stayed in room 742, a beach front Bungalow. Brilliantly designed with breathtaking view. The room was cleaned every day. The whole resort is spotless and the staff are attentive but not overbearing. Special mention to Victor in the older kids club who was full of enthusiasm and really cared about his job. He was fantastic...

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Iberostar Creta Marine. From start to finish, everything was fantastic — the atmosphere, the food, the staff, and the service. A very special mention to Ellie from Guest Relations, who was truly amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine care made us feel completely at home. Also, a...

Great hotel and gardens. Good location and food was really delicious. For a week, there were plenty of options and enjoyed mixing the buffet for a couple of evening meals at the onsite restaurants. Did have an issue with room set up (Garden view bungalow) for 2 adults and child which was completely impractical as the sofa chair which converted into a single bed didn’t allow the balcony door to open...

love the rooms, they are so pretty.. the stuff ist very kind they are very helpful und polite, i love the animateure programm, the service is also very well and the atmosphere is great in here

I really liked the stay and i thought the animateurs are wonderful. So much that i even thought about coming here to be one. Every staff member is really nice and if youre friendly you can definetly benifit from it:)

This was our second visit to the Iberostar Selection Creta Marine and although late arriving due to a flight delay, we were welcomed with a glass of champagne and a rose for my wife. The reception/lobby area is very spacious and immaculate, check in was pretty quick and we went to our room, the same room as last year, which was on the second floor in the main building with a sea view. The air conditioned...

First this Hotel makes it clear that it is on the side of a hill and not suitable for people with walking difficulties. That being said I must make it clear that it is an extremely step and very of steps everywhere. I will simply list my observations and allow you to see the pros and cons regarding this Hotel. PROS: 1. It is a very beautiful Hotel 2. There are lovely views. 3. The rooms are a nice...

We had an excellent holiday. Service all round fantastic, great rooms, great food choices especially the Taverna and A La Carte both of which, despite being included in the all inclusive package, I would happily have paid extra for. Will definitely return.

The hotel looks very nice from the outside and also in the pictures. The view is simply stunning and truly impressive. Unfortunately, the location is a bit inconvenient – there are no tavernas or attractions around. Although it is presented as a five-star hotel, in our opinion it is more like a 3.5-star standard. The food was often cold, very monotonous, and with little variety. There was no live...

Our room had an amazing view, lovely big room albeit short on storage. 4 star at best!! food and drinks menu very mediocre and poor selection of cocktails. Food at pool was poor. Staff friendliness was inconsistent, entertainment shocking.

Lovely hotel but not a lot to do. Mainly French speaking hotel. Unless you are French they will not allow you to book any trips at the hotel. The animation team only involved those speaking French as we were never approached to join in any activities around the activity pool. Our room was at the opposite end of the hotel with lots of steps to get to the main pool. There is an adult only pool. The pool...

An extraordinary experience. The staff at the restaurant is a 10. The service is impeccable.We thank them for everything.

Amazing hotel, staff were so lovely! The food is very tastey and flavourful. The pools were abit cooler but still okay to have a swim in. The rooms are amazing, the staff upgraded us and we had our own plunge pool which was a nice bonus. The spa facilities are brilliant and the massages are amazing. Will definitely be staying here again. Thank you so much!!!!

Really nice hotel which was let down by management deciding to start shutting down the resort for the end of season half way through our stay. Two of the three non-buffet restraints had closed 3 days before our departure . Spin and other classes finished 4 days before our departure.

Very stylish, looks like new. Extensive large pool are and the beach. Food was amazing and there are 4 restaurants for dinning. We loved the Asian restaurant, very high quality. Overall great holidays!

Fantastic stay Amazing stay! It’s got the environment, pool, food, children’s play area and waterpark

Next time I go, I think I'll plan to stay a little longer. It was so comfortable and nice that I almost regretted my short stay. The pool was much longer and larger than it appears in the photos, and I was impressed by the design, which allowed everyone in the room to enjoy the pool close to home.

The hotel is really great, with beautiful sea views and a super large swimming pool. The children had a lot of fun. The all-inclusive service allows you to enjoy drinks and food anywhere in the hotel. Every waiter is very friendly and enthusiastic. The room is large and has an extra-large sofa. I slept very comfortably. I felt very sorry for only booking one night. I must stay a few more days next...

Just got bk frm staying at the blue sea beach hotel with our friends .Fantastic holiday frm start to finish. The staff were Amazing couldn't do enough for you .They were all so friendly and made our stay so enjoyable . Wacko the entertainment Guy(Crete David ) was our knick name for him worked so hard keeping everyone entertained day and night with different activities.He was so funny along with the...

We stayed at this hotel for the second year in a row. Great good hotel! Very varied food. Clean and quiet hotel, comfortable beds. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops near the hotel. Thanks to Μαρία Κευγά for the good service and Nadia for the help. Thank you to the entire hotel for a great vacation! We really like Crete!

Such a wonderful hotel!! Loved the amazing food choices, grounds, drinks and very friendly staff. Just across a small road from a fab private beach area. Guaco the entertainment guy was brilliant fun with great music quiz nights and karaoke!! All hotel staff were very friendly. Mark Hawkins.

Just come back from 10 days staying here, lovely hotel brilliantly placed facing sea, the food was amazing and catered to all countries, while we was there it was mainly Germans and Latvians but we didn’t have any issues about it, everyone was friendly enough. Some rooms have pools that you pay extra for but please be aware if you pay for 1 the hotel should be opposite way round because the sun hits...

I stayed at Blue Sea Beach with my (new!) fiancé. He proposed to me on the beach with the help of hotel manager Yiannis, who was extremely helpful and kind throughout our stay. Every aspect of our holiday was 5 star, the service from each member of staff was impeccable, our room was modern, spacious and clean, and the food was varied and delicious. A truly lovely place, full of wonderful people.

Firstly myself and my husband went here for our honeymoon Just returned last night!! Couldn’t fault the hotel at all, staff soo friendly, welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble. The location was fab, loved waking up every morning watching the sunrise and listing to the waves. Staff member Stella (lady) she is such a lovely member of staff, thank you for being you. A la carte restaurant...

This is my 4th visit to Creta Palace, my husband went many times, throughout his teens and early adulthood. We have two children, at the time of travel were 5 and 8. We have visited Creta Palace in 2022, 2023 and 2025. This is a truly honest review of the resort and we hope many will find it helpful. Creta Palace is one of the most charming resorts. It has a long history and is located in a wonderful...

We chose to return to Grecotel Creta Palace after having such a wonderful holiday there for the first time in 2024. After checking many different locations and hotels we still felt that going back to this hotel was going to be tick all the boxes. We were not let down in any way. If you are looking for a relaxing break in a stylish setting where staff are attentive to your needs this is the place for...

We loved our first holiday abroad with our two boys. The hotel was beautiful, the staff helpful and the food delicious!! Such a big range on offer and didn't feel too busy. The beach was very close to the hotel and pools were nice. So convenient having towels and sun loungers in good supply! My boys particularly loved the kids club, the staff really went the extra mile. Georgia and Eirini in particular...

There was 12 of us 6 adults and 6 children acomadtion food and service was excellent will go back again . Only 1 hr drive from the airport lovly town only 15 mins taxi drive

We had an amazing stay. Everything was great - the staff were very friendly, the room and hotel was super clean, and the food was tasty as well. We can't complain and will return.

I had a wonderful time at the hotel! I loved the spa, the pool and had the best night sleeps! It is a shame that the main restaurant does not serve a real espresso from ground coffee beans as it would have been nice to enjoy a good cup of coffee with the wonderful breakfast, but despite this, I will happily return to the hotel

Excellent Service. Excellent resort and facilities. Great selection of food, very clean rooms, tidy pool areas. Very friendly and accommodating staff from the reception to the dining areas. An excellent resort to relax in comfort. Will visit again. Deserves its 5 star rating.

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The property was well maintained and beautiful. The staff from housekeeping, bar, concierge, wait staff to front desk were fantastic. They all went out of their way to make you feel welcomed and valued. Thank you all for an enjoyable time.

Great hotel Great hotel with many facilities. Lots of pools, nice spa, great gym and nice grounds. The restaurants are good and many options. Unfortunately they don’t label the foods in the buffet well. This makes it hard for vegans, people with allergies etc, I am sure they could do a little better on this!

Fantastic room and stay in a private pool suite in the Residences. Amazing meals in local restaurants!

We have just spent a week at the hotel, but did not think it lived up to the 5 stars they have. The hotel itself is centrally located in Platanias, and close to bus stops, they have several pools and direct access to the beach. The food at the hotel is quite good and varied, there was always something to eat. Lovely cakes, ice cream and fruit for dessert. Good rooms with efficient cleaning, the area...

Large resort hotel in Platanias village right next to the beach. The hotel is spread over a huge area, with many room types to choose from in several buildings. There are several smaller and larger pools between the buildings, which are not heated. Unfortunately, hotel guests "reserve" the sunbeds in the morning, so it often happened that although there was no one in the pools and around them, we still...

We were moved from the village resort to the beach resort due to being under subscribed at the end of the season. We were worried as we booked there for the water park but on jet 2 looking into it they were keeping the park open with the rest of the resort shutting. Fine print though states both resorts have to pay extra for the water park at €15 per person. We did use it one day and as the resort...

We came back for a second year with our 2 boys and loved our stay yet again. We were given a free upgrade to a superior family mezzanine room which was a fab start to the stay. Our balconies overlooked the harbour, our favourite pool and the mountains behind. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, as it was last year, the pools were always accessible and never overcrowded and the safety of the resort...

We had the most wonderful vacation in years! The hotel is spotless and well-organized, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome. Our room was cleaned daily and fresh towels were provided every day. The food was excellent – delicious, varied, and plentiful. Even though the hotel had many guests, the restaurant never felt crowded and the service from the waiters was consistently...

Extremely well managed hotel with friendly accommodating staff. Beautiful surroundings, excellent value for money.

Our second stay this year! Amazing hotel. The service is great. I'd accidently booked the wrong room type, and we were upgraded for free. Giannis provided excellent service around the pool. Always enough sunbeds. The food at the restaurants are amazing, we can't decide which one is the best! Really enjoyed the pan asian breakfast. Loved the creperie, open all day. The sports activities were well organised...

Great holiday. The Italian restaurant was our favourite. Roula and Spyros were amazing waiters and recommended the best food! Toto and Ana kept the kids and adults entertained. Our second stay here and won't be our last! Excellent holiday!

Just spent a week at this hotel with my family and we were blown away. The rooms were great, mini bar stocked everyday, food was fab, all inclusive drinks were branded and cocktails were top notch. The hotel itself is amazing with three pools and plenty of bars with four a la crate restaurants and a sushi bar alongside the main restaurant. Staff were amazing and a special shout out to George from...

I had an amazing experience at this hotel from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a stunning view. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch — from the high-speed Wi-Fi to the luxurious bathroom products. The food at the...

This was perfect holiday ! It was our fourth time in Mitsis Laguna and I have to say it - this is the best hotel IN THE WORLD. We travel all around the world and honestly there is no better place than Mitsis Laguna. There are a few things I appreciate a lot: 1. Level of service Always smiling, always in a good mood, ready to help, ready to make you feel well. 2. Nothing is a problem - you want 3...

We were there towards the end of September. Still plenty of people and busy enough. Staff are awesome and helpful. Food was plenty and got too much by day 4. Property could do with some renovations and maintenance!

Beautiful rooms with stunning sea views, excellent food, and private beach access. The dining was a highlight in itself. Every meal was a pleasure — carefully crafted, deeply flavourful, and served with genuine care. The same can be said for every corner of the resort. Whether we were at the reception or the restaurant, relaxing at the bar, or indulging in a treatment at the Kepos SPA, the level of...

Incredible views Fabulous service Giannis and his team were amazing,nothing was too much trouble and always served with a beautiful smile

Daios Cove is a stunning property architecturally hugging the Cretan coast. Offering pure luxury seclusion. The collection suites are beautifully finished in neutral colours with a generous balcony and stunning views across the bay. The food is delicious. Stunning tasty dishes and who doesn’t love a Greek Salad. ? The residents club offers all inclusive. Verve champagne is the house champagne which...

This hotel is just amazing. After a transfer from the hotel through amazing views you finally arrive to the hotel. We stayed in one of the collection rooms with a private pool. Just perfect! To move within the hotel all is well organised, the restaurants are amazing and we had a couple of special dinner the occurred during our stayed! Really upscale! The kids also loved it and were very well taken...

Built into a hillside overlooking a private bay, this resort offers panoramic sea views from nearly every terrace. The infinity pool and quiet beach access make it ideal for a relaxing getaway.

Beautiful spot and much better out of season as in season it gets too crowded. love the private beach. Could be more space around the pool.

Would highly recommend the Arina Beach Hotel. - Attentive and friendly staff - Photos on the hotel's site are highly accurate so give a good sense of what to expect - Great facilities and very clean (children being able to use the indoor, heated pool between 10 and 1 was particularly good for families) - Would highly recommend booking a maisonette with a private pool. Lots of space for a family...

We loved our stay at the Arina Beach resort. After 3 weeks travelling around Europe, it was amazing to relax at an all inclusive resort.

The resort wasn’t at capacity but the weather was great. Highly recommend...

A few bus stations away we visited...

We enjoyed our stay at Arina Beach as much as we did the first time one year ago. As a family with a 4 year old kid, it is our favorite place to rest as we had all the facilities.

It deserves it's 5 star label in our opinion...

The only slight negative for us was the over priced spa facilities, would have been nice to make use of these however the prices were exceptionally high and this could be seen as they were never busy and always looking to promote it...
