All-inclusive hotels on first line in Crete

First time for us on Crete and we couldn't have chosen a better resort. Upon arrival we were greeted from a very friendly and smiley porter who gave us a lift to our room once we checked în. Our family room was very clean,tidy and big enough to accomodate our family. Views.....simplu amazing. The kids went straight for water slides and The fun Park where they spent most of their time during our...

We had a lovely holiday here in a resort that is small enough to feel that you get to experience the real Greece. The water park keeps the kids happy and happy kids means happy parents! It was a well kept hotel with all the amenities that we needed, we also felt welcomed and looked after throughout our stay. I would recommend this to others.

We had a really great stay at this hotel in Crete. The location is perfect, set in a beautiful area and still close to everything you need. The town is just a short walk away, which made it super easy to wander around, grab dinner, or enjoy a drink without having to think about transport. If you want to explore more of the island, you can also hire a car directly through the hotel. It’s very convenient...

Summer 2025. Was a lovely summer. Our memories are HAPPY memories together with Elounda residence Hotel. The Greek night, karaoke night, disco night… everything for everyone! The food was very good and fresh. You can choose whatever you like , a lot of salads, hot buffet, sweets…. Every evening you can choose to eat at the main restaurant, taverna or to water park. Everything what we need it you can...

We stayed at Elounda Residence Water Park Hotel during October half term and had a great family holiday. The water park was a big hit with the kids and kept them entertained every day. The apartment was clean, spacious and comfortable, and the staff were really friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Food had plenty of choice and worked well for both adults and children. October was a perfect time...

I booked this place for the view. When I got there my room had no view. They apologised and upgraded me to a duplex with 2 balconies and 2 amazing views.

Wonderful location, 2 minutes to the beach. Excellent services and competent staffs. Food was delicious as well, and cats will stare at you when you eat. Highly recommend!

Good points Nice clean hotel ,friendly staff ,especially sasha the barman. As stated before on reviews no spirits until after 6.30 pm .Lovely pool and sun loungers Negative points. Not in a really good area as nothing much along the seafront. Beach not fab stones and shingle with a tiny bit of sand .Jet2 needs to update description. Food not really good , poor choice and lukewarm. Desserts same every...

We had a wonderful stay at Maleme Mare, right from the friendly welcome. The staff were friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was clean and well maintained throughout, including the pool and gardens. No issue with sun-beds either, there are plenty to go round. The food was really great. Plenty of variety at every meal time. Overall we had a super relaxing week and...

Lovely hotel, clean team Cody with fresh towels, comfortable loungers by the pool, pool was always spotless. Buffet food was a good standard but did get a bit repetitive. Limited entertainment but we wanted a quiet holiday. Tip if you want to get the bus into Chania the best way is to go behind the hotel their is lane/ally that lead to the main road the bus top is opposite a mini supermarket

Food was ok, ice cream and drinks were local, not so good. The worst thing was that my engagement and wedding rings stolen from room. Of course my own fault that I did not put it to safety box, but not very reliable staff. The chief of hotel says that there is no thiefs and I have myself lose it somewhere.

Fun hotel with great staff and team. There is no hot tub- It’s been closed “since Covid”… but still listed in the booking. Also Extra charge not mentioned in the booking for beach loungers and umbrellas. Pools were great. Food was very good. The Booking page offers this hotel “on the beach” but there is a two lane road for tour busses and other traffic between the hotel and the beach, so we think it...

The hotel has been partially updated and is generally clean, however the upgrade has been done to general areas around pool and partial in rooms so photos do not reflect the full hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food quality was mixed, crockery was often not fully clean and still wet when stacked at buffet start. Location is not great with small beaches and very limited shops, bars and restaurants...

We have just returned from a 7 night stay at this hotel So we will start with the positives first ▪️upon arrival at around 10:30pm we were greeted by a helpful man on reception who checked us in quickly and offered us food for us and our 3 children. Although basic was a very very nice gesture. ▪️The room we found to be clean with good air-conditioning and nice shower facilities, yes the kitchen area...

A clean spacious family run property, that has expanded through building new accommodation and refurbishments over the many years I've visited. Several pools, including private hot tubs for selected rooms. The All inclusive option provides freshly cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner (buffet style) with local beer, spirits and wine. Pay for specific labels, if you wish. Good variety of freshly cooked...

Our stay was absolutely amazing. We had a private airport transfer, which was well organized for us. The room provided was in perfect location, very clean and well maintained. For two of us, there was plenty of space. All our wishes were solved quickly at reception without any delays. All meals in the buffet were very tasty, service on front was helpful and caring. I can recommend massage in hotel...

Second time staying at The Blue Aegean and it didn’t disappoint from the moment we arrived the staff were happy and helpful especially the receptionist who was happy, helpful and had a smile that could light up a room. We stayed in Room 102 and wow what a room, it’s across the road from the main hotel and was an upgrade. The bed was comfortable and the shower was so hot and lovely. The cleaners were...

We stayed here in August as a family of four and absolutely loved it! The rooms were spotless and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The location was perfect — close to the beach and local restaurants. It was the ideal mix of relaxation and fun for both the kids and us. Highly recommend it for families!

The staff were very helpful on arrival as there was only a double bed & nowhere to sit. They moved us to a room close to pool,restaurant etc. We quickly realised we were the only British there & the resort was 90% German. Not a complaint but they do have different customs. The hotel is spotlessly clean but alot of the food was disappointing. All inclusive isn't really,Beer definitely not Grolsh in...

We decided to stay in an all inclusive hotel for our friend group trip and Meropi did not disappoint. The staff has been very helpful and friendly for anything we needed. Food is amazing and has options for all tastes. You can spend your time inside the hotel enjoyably and it’s close to the beach so there is the option of taking a 5 minute walk there. The rooms had all utilities we needed and were...

We had such a wonderful stay at Meropi Hotel & Apartments! The place is super clean, cozy and very family-friendly. The aqua park was amazing — our kids had the best time and didn’t want to leave! The staff were all so kind and helpful, always smiling and making us feel welcome. Great food, spotless pools, and a perfect location close to the beach but still peaceful. You can really feel the care and...

First of all we were surprised that when we booked a supreme room the room was small and how we were on the ground floor. I will so the room was clean when we went in however, bed sheets were not washed when said they were going to be washed and neither did the towels. Staff were rude, especially the restaurant staff as they gave dirty looks and me and my friend a lot. The shower drain would...

We traveled to Crete for a family holiday with no intention getting out of the hotel with a small child, not expecting to spend much and have all facilities and needs include food and some water activities. This facilities were well maintained, the pools are great with a small water part attached. The food is basic and sometimes salty. However the service is excellent at the food area and well maintained

We had a very nice stay in Anthoula village. Family atmosphere, very good staff, very nice rooms and very clean. The location is walking distance to the beach. The food was excellent and so was the pool. We definitely come back again.

Very frienldy, cozy with family atmosphere. We love our stay here. Stuff is always helplful and nice. Very nice big rooms with everything You need. Thank You Katharina for everything!!

It is beautiful place to stay near Heraklio and near beach. Personnel is kind and friendly, they have no problem to help you with anything you need. P.S. Food is also delicious.

Great pool🤩Very friendly staff, good choice of food (we had breakfast and dinners). Big comfortable rooms. Better wi-fi coverage would be great though. Overall good value for money.

We enjoyed our visit here and definitely will come back. 1. The room was very clean,nice and comfortable 2. The reception, Mr. Okba, professional and know many helpful things and tips. Always with smile and ready to help anytime. 3. The chef, Dimitri, is very good cook especially delicious desserts and he cares about everything, dedicated all the time. We had varsity and good food every day. 4. The...

The beach was within walking distance which was very accessible, The food was simply outstanding ( we booked breakfast and dinner) and all the service workers were extremely kind and amicable during our stay. The rooms were quite large for our family of four with a wonderful balcony overlooking the pool. Overall this experience was absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to everyone.

Came here on the 7th oct for 9 night Great hotel, the staff were very nice and helpful We went all-inclusive The food was good always something to eat The drinks are nice At night the lady on the bar at night works very hard We had room 413 with its own little pool good for when it got to hot There is a little fridge in the room as well There is a great little shop 2 mins walk from the hotel We...

Not great! The rooms was fine clean tidy plenty of space huge balcony over looking gardens and a view of the sea rooms cleaned every day water provided daily did miss out a couple of days with fresh towels dont know why? The food was very mediocre there was always something to eat it was very mish mash mostly themed nights but it didn't really follow very well The drinks on all inclusive wasnt the...

The hotel it's self was nice. The rooms were a bit basic but comfortable and bright. The AI aspect of the hotel is shocking. They have a beautiful outside area where you can have breakfast, but the choice is minimal, and hot stuff is normally cold! The only other choice is the main buffet restaurant which is so hot and stuffy its uncomfortable. There is a big menu at the outside area which you can...

We returned to this hotel after first visit last October and it did not disappoint as we were worried if it would be as good for second visit Staff so friendly and helpful the receptionist Anna and her colleagues could t do enough all the bar staff and they remembered us which was a nice touch Any issues delay with swiftly Will be rebooking for next year

The hotel is amazing. Absolutely beautiful views and photo opportunities. 1 minute from the beach walking and the people are the most friendly out of anywhere I have ever been. All inclusive the food as amazing help your self to as much as you want with different dishes every day and the food in the alicarte was like a Michelin star restaurant. Already booking my stay for next year I cannot recommend...

Great family-run hotel that offers good quality food, quiet*, calm accommodation and a friendly welcome. The rooms and gardens are clean, modern and well maintained. The pool is a good size with plenty of sunbeds and seating. As a solo, female traveller I felt safe and well cared for. The beach is an easy walk of only about 150m. The hotel also offers a fabulous massage and reflexology service run...

Clean tidy hotel , although rooms very dated . We had no hot water for 2 days on our block . Food very repetitive in hotel & lack of choice . Staff were very friendly, apart from daytime receptionist. Great pool areas with plenty of sun loungers Please be aware bank to rooms is very steep & quite treacherous when wet . Only 10-15 min walk to beach areas which is packed with beautiful cafe's , bars...

Having read some recent reviews, we were dubious about going but thought we've paid so will go and see. The place was clean, rooms were fine and the food was much better than anticipated. There were 2 downsides... There is nowhere to sit inside for drinks and we going the restaurant managed to be rude at the beginning of the week.

We have just returned from a fabulous week at Koni Village. We were a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews. However, we've were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. On arrival we were met by a lovely, friendly, welcoming receptionist. Prior to arriving I had emailed the hotel requesting a low level room, due to my partners mobility issues. The hotel fulfilled this. We couldn't have wished...

Just had a fabulous holiday the room was big and comfortable overall the hole place was clean nothing was to much trouble. all staff where amazing and micheal the night bar man was spot on. we met some lovely people 😀 who shared the same views as us .we did read a lot of poor reviews about the food and drinks but it's a 3 star plus hotel we found everything to be fine I go back in a heart beat give...

Great holiday, spoilt by this hotel. On arrival , well after midnight on tuesday, we were given keys to the the most dreadful, dark and cramped room either of us had ever experienced! Spoke to our brilliant and efficient Jet2 rep, who immediately went to reception to sort it out. We were told to go back on Friday to see if anything had become available. After a lengthy "negotiation " on friday we were...

Just wanted to say that we had a great stay. It was 3* and it did exactly what it was supposed to. Rooms basic but cleaned daily, food had a good range of choices, probably missing something for younger ones with plain tastes like nuggets or pizza but overall very tasty! Nice pool, no fights for sunbeds, staff very friendly and helpful. It is up a hill and we were right at the top but that is made...

Amazing time at this hotel, we were made to feel like family from the moment we checked in. Sandwich and fruit platter as we sat checking in, then a glass of fizz and some orange juice. Our room wasn’t quite ready so we went to the pool bar , Estella was friendly and looked after us every time we were at the bar, ( Zymon too who works the evening shift ) . Room was spacious and the fridge was a life...

Outstanding from start to finish, wonderful staff, amazing location and beautiful rooms, we will return next year, perfect holiday from beginning to end.

What an absolute find this hotel was. We went fully inclusive the food was excellent the staff can't do enough for you they are a credit to the hotel. The Manager is also very hands on and will do anything to help if you have any queries. I mentioned I didn't think the hairdryer was very good in our room...the next day a new hairdryer arrived! Service exceptional ♡

We had an incredible visit, thanks in huge part to the amazing staff. They remembered dietary requirements, drink preferences, and I felt we really grew to knew them. They were quick with directions to great local restaurants and advice on the best places nearby to spend our time (when we weren't relaxing near the lovely pool!). Many thanks in particular to Maria and Zinon for making out trip so amazing...

What a gem of a hotel Having just returned from two weeks at this great little adult’s only hotel we can only recommend it highly. From arrival to departure you felt like part of a family/community with all staff and guests interacting and having a great time. On arrival we were greeted with fresh fruit juice and a cold towel which was a nice touch after travelling. Check in was easy and we were...

Warm welcome arrived late in evening and we received a plate fruit and cold meats an cheeses, which was a lovely arrival after long day travelling. The room was clean and tidy, we had the rooftop pool room which is pretty special on its own. Breakfast and dinners plenty choice, we used snack bar more at lunch time. The shining star of this hotel is the staff each and everyone of them. They work hard...

I've just come back from this hotel (my trip was from the 10th of August till 17th). I would personally rate it for 3 stars only, as it doesn't meet all the requirements for 4 starts. Here is why. Such simple thing, yet there's no bottled water in rooms, food is excellent, but repeteable and often cold, there's rather limited choice of drinks, and truly all that 'all inclusive' is more of a myth than...

Perfect view, mountains around, good food, rooms are dated but ok, clean pools, great waterpark. If you dont have a car then its a problem - hotel is in a mountain, long road up from the main street.

We recently stayed here for a family vacation in Crete with my wife and two kids. The location and view were beautiful, just a short walk downhill to local shops and the beach. The walk back uphill in the heat is quite a workout, so make sure to bring a bottle of water. If that’s too much, taxis are available at a fixed rate of €10, which is good to know. The room was okay, we had a sea view and the...

Was a very cool place for the kids. A little water park with like 6 slides and then two separate pools. Pool tables and mini golf. Down side was just overall maintenance. It wasnt dirty but you could tell things were old and could be replaced. The pools have non stick on some of the ramps that really need to be replaced. All inclusive was nice. Included free drinks for kids and tap beer and wine. Food...

Food. Buffet is excellent and lots of varied option. The food is so good and tasty 😋 thanks to the Chef. Amazing steak and cooked meals. Also the barman was doing excellent cocktails. So many staff. They are always on duty so good.

We had a great time at this hotel it was near the end of the season but had the weather. Very clean hotel. The hotel is boutique so cozy and cute. Food was good, hot... Lovely swimming pool with sea view. Thank you guys for a great holiday

Amazing hotel, Great staff, super clean boutique hotel. We ate dinner twice at mandoline med bistro. One of the highlights of our trip! Amazing food, from amazing chef Andonis, served by the fantastic waiter/host Adamos. Local greek/ cyprotic food. Had the best dinner.

This is a small hotel and although its on the beach its not really a usable beach unless you walk a little further up. Dining area is nice overlooking the sea but nowhere near big enough. Food was lovely but no choice as was too small an area. Hotel is part of a complex so to use the indoor pool or see the entertainment you have to visit one of the other sites. Biggest problem for me was the huge sewage...

We stayed in room with sea view for 7 days and it was a great vacation. From booking to arrival the receptionist was super accommodating helpful and super friendly. The staff are all very friendly and always smiling especially the girls on reception, Tatiana. There is pool, it is on the beach and breakfast buffet is delicious. Restaurant was great with delicious fresh salad and food. Short walk to...

Good location, easy walking distance of the town centre.

Very good location right on the beach sun loungers included, everybody is really friendly including staff and other travellers, room was alright only thing really is the amount of moths that come into the room and there’s a birds nest on the balcony, the bathroom floods when the shower is on and does leak out of the room so the floor is constantly wet, food is alright but doesn’t really vary much,...

Check in took about 40 minutes with a receptionist who didn't have any idea what she was doing, very unhelpful and stressed. She eventually took me to my room once she found out where it was. The room was beautiful and clean but the soft furnishings felt damp but reception claimed not to understand and closed me down saying nothing can be done. The swimming pool is tiny and quite dirty and the tables...

I stayed April 13th–20th. Due to airline shenanigans, I arrived well after midnight. If you require a total chill and relax 5/5 experience, this is the place—provided you survive the first hour. THE ARRIVAL SURVIVAL GUIDE • The Wait: After a 40-minute shuttle, there was a queue. Don’t stress. Sit on the wall, listen to the ocean, and breathe. You aren’t at work anymore. • The Night Porter: Have...

First impressions were bad. Arrived at 10.30pm no food options .. even a vending machine would have done. Receptionist was less than helpful just brought us to our room . Never said anything just showed us a picture of food times etc ( we went all inclusive ) We had 1 drink and then it closed. Room was lovely plenty of space and clean but absolutely freezing. From then on our experience picked up...

I had a wonderful stay at Mare Blue & Suites Hotel. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything was immaculately clean throughout. My room was very comfortable and well equipped, with thoughtful amenities including a fridge, kettle, hairdryer, and heating. The staff and management were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, even with the challenging weather. The dining...

We downgraded from a pricier place and got more here. The room was not huge, but there a cozy corner where the afternoon light would hit just right, creating a pleasing atmosphere. I didn’t think I’d notice something like that, but it really made a difference. The staff were approachable without being too formal. One night we came back sandy and tired and the hallway lights were dimmed — small detail...

Stayed for a week at the end of October. We booked a studio apartment and were given a sea view even though we hadn’t paid the extra for that! The apartment was lovely and the balcony was amazing. Huge and looking directly over the small shingle beach which was only a minutes walk away. The room was cleaned every day and we had clean towels and bedding twice during our stay. We booked the all inclusive...

What a delightful little hotel, Sophia and Maria were fantastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Perfectly positioned just outside the main town area with lovely restaurants and bars around too.

My daughter and myself have just spent 10 lovely days at this hotel .it's the best hotel I've ever stayed at .it's spotlessly clean with really hard working cleaners .everyone s so friendly and helpful especially Maria on reception Sofia in the restaurant and manos in the bar .nothing is too much trouble for them , we were always made to feel welcome. The rooms are lovely and beds comfy with beautiful...

I can’t recommend this hotel enough, it far exceeded our expectations. My mother and I have stayed in many different hotels and this is by far the best. What makes it really outstanding is the care and consideration of the staff, they go out of their way to help you and are always available for your every need. The food was lovely, home cooked and a good selection every day. My mother is a vegetarian...

These reasonably small apartments may not be as luxurious as some of the bigger ones, but they make up for it in so many other ways. The staff are incredible, and never stop making you feel as welcome as possible. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent for a small concern and the service is swift and personal. The location is idyllic, with a beach and good quality bars and restaurants a...

Had a great all inclusive holiday, wonderful food, wonderful staff, to many to mention their names, every single one of them was great, no problems whatsoever getting drinks from the bar, which were spot on and were the same brands that the bars and restaurants charge a lot more for, just a stroll to the small beach with some bars nearby where it was nice to sit and watch the sea, the football, and...
