Best Hotels in Crete

Absolutely the best hotel we have ever been to, there's so much to do inside the hotel even after 3 nights we weren't able to try everything, the main buffet is the best and biggest buffet we've ever seen, it's literally impossible to taste everything, variation is also very good with different options for lunch and dinner every day, and all of that is only one of the restaurants, the other restaurants...

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

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.

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 hotel was spotless throughout, and every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful, and clearly worked very hard to keep everything running smoothly

The sports facilities at the Lyttos Beach Sports Centre are world-class, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy

The main dining area is really big and being able to sit outside meant you didn't feel like you were going to the same restaurant for every meal! Lots of fresh food options, the grill and the salad bars were excellent

Theres not a lot to walk to nearby and the local beaches are taken up by sunbeds from the bars, but we'd recommend a walk into Koutouloufari for a look round the shops or a drink in the evening

The pools are fab - a 50 metre pool on holiday! Even when it was busy it didn't feel busy. Plenty of sunbeds available around the pools or on the peaceful sun terrace

Having a separate bar area from the entertainment means you can choose a more peaceful spot in the evening, or get involved in the fun

We loved our stay (August 2025) at the Royal And Imperial Belvedere hotel. Our room was great, newly decorated and spotlessly clean

The causal dining options were also great with a range of family friendly food available

The staff at the Enomy main buffet restaurant were mostly okay but many staff were rude or not attentive at all (we sat waiting for cutlery and to be asked our drinks order for ages and then had to try and find someone)

The facilities are great but many people still used towels to reserve sunbeds even though the resort states towels will be removed (they were not). We traveled in October half term and were very lucky with the wether

I honestly have to say the best all-inclusive resort I have been to

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

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 atmosphere, and the staff are simply outstanding — warm, friendly, and always going the extra mile. We’re genuinely sad to be leaving and can’t wait to come back again

Our room was slightly old-fashioned, but the furniture was comfortable and good quality and the room was kept spotlessly clean by Housekeeping

The hotel is lovely, yes it does get busy with families in school holidays but that can be said of many places, the staff are all fantastic and nothing is too much trouble for their guests

We love them all and in all of our travels we have never found anywhere quite so comfortable and that makes us feel like we are at home while we are away. We will see you all next year

We stayed 4th to 14th September 2025 and as always our stay was fantastic

I was a bit dissapointed to not find any Beach Bags and Slippers in the room, as these are pretty much standard in a 5* Hotel, so when I was asked for feedback on their App, I told them, and the next day Beach Bag and Slippers were delivered along with some extra toiletries

Another slight gripe was the mini-bar in the room was not always topped up and there was a charge for crisps and Nuts! Comfy bed and a great shower in the bathroom made for a comfortable stay, but do take a multi pot adapter, as there are not many sockets

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

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

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

Deet didn't really do anything to deter them and we all came home with bites. Sitting out in our private garden wasn't recommended but the communal areas were fine

We loved the all inclusive food options and the staff were lovely

A bath with a shower, a walk in shower and two sinks

The buffet options at all the restaurants are excellent. The appetizers and main courses are always well-prepared and there’s something for everyone. However, for the desserts, only a few really stood out

On a practical note, we had to visit the nearby hospital during our stay and the staff there were excellent. We felt very secure and the doctors were professional and attentive

The variety of food for kids is fantastic, although I wish they had boiled vegetables in the buffet options (like in all the other restaurants). The staff is wonderful, always friendly and accommodating to families

Thank you Pilot Beach Resort for giving us amazing family memories! We came here twice during a time when we desperately needed rest and fun with our little ones and both visits exceeded our expectations!

The kid’s corner restaurant is great, it is open during the day until 5PM. In 2023, we noticed it was a bit dirty but they’ve made more efforts in 2024 to keep it clean

Almost every night, there are 2 to 4 events or shows, all worth attending. Our kids especially enjoyed the mini-disco and magician shows

Gorgeous setting and grounds, staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is varied and all good quality, something for everyone. Unfortunately the shower in the room is very disappointing

Food was plentiful with a very good choice of dishes. Dinning room could feel a little overcrowded and canteen like at times. In all a good four star hotel complex

What an amazing stay for 7days. Staff very helpful and friendly. Choice of food was fantastic catering for all tastes. Download the Hotel app to get map and information where pools, bars etc

If you want to visit local towns etc prepare to travel for long periods time. Hotel offers all you need to have a relaxing, stress free holiday. Views amazing where ever you put your sunbed

Main pool can feel busy, but does have activities going on through the day. So we went to the Phaethon bar with pool. Which was quieter but still busy. Great if you sporty lots to do too

we had our Honeymoon in this hotel and happened to have my wife's birthday. The hotel manager sent us a birthday cake and bubble wine as gifts

All round good service but had problems with the A/C, bunk beds were slack and flimsy, food was a bit canteen ish and not a great choice, add more alcohol to the all inclusive list because what you have is not much and fix your slides because where they join together needs to be filled as there like a cheese grater when you go over them

Other than that good location lots to do and nowhere is 100% but it's the small things that count

To be honest reading the reviews I was dreading coming here! I can honestly say we’ve had the best time here! The kids have loved it they’ve been busy all week with kids clubs discos every night for them the entertainment staff have been fantastic :) they been playing in pools all day and the rooms are nice as well

The food has been really good I mean what do you expect at 4* hotel there have been meals for everyone

Disco each night was a bit repetitive but kids loved learning the same dances. food could be a bit better but we always found something to eat as there’s plenty of option. Our room was very clean with a perfect sea view

We had a late flight home and they let us stay in the hotel all day and use all the facilities until we had left which was a really late evening flight at no extra cost! All in all nothing to complain about here

I absolutely will never fault the staff at mitsis royal mare. They are truly excellent, their level of care and attention is second to none. Attention to the cleanliness of the site is supreme apart from the cats

Not much in the buffet for children etc and most of the food luke warm When I chose an all inclusive food is a big part and really not the best

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have had an absolutely fantastic stay. The à la carte restaurants have all been incredible with my favourite being the Mediterranean

On the evening of my husband’s birthday we had a cake and a bottle of fizz delivered to our room which was such a thoughtful touch

The service throughout the hotel has been exceptional with everyone so eager to help and make our stay special

My personal opinion has been it's been difficult to entertain the children here for the last week at the end of October. The pools are absolutely freezing. In fact even though the sea is cold it's warmer than the pools

We had a lovely walk around some lovely shops here, worth a visit. Overall we had a good holiday, we made the best of it. The rooms were basic but clean. Beds made and changed regularly. Staff were friendly and helpful

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

Not quite a 5 star hotel as advertised even under Greek ratings but very good. They need to keep improvements coming as new hotels are being built locally. Keep up the great work and thankyou for a great stay

Food was excellent: I have two fussy eaters and they could always find something to eat at the Buffet

I had a Spa Day and treatment - staff were excellent, sauna and jacazzui lovely. On a duller day took kids to the Aquarium which was good and only 30 min walk e/w along the seafront

The food at the all inclusive buffet is plentiful but just isn't hot enough, warm at best but never hot. Plenty of choice though for kids and adults which are happy to try stuff

Excellent service by all staff. Fantastic view and excellent food while also having great value

Very nice hotel, clean, with big rooms. Room service is great, every day they refill our coffees. We can ask them to refill our water containers, thus saving plastic bottles. The staff is amazing, always smiling and nice

Modern hotel with clean rooms and well-maintained bathrooms. Breakfast was excellent, offering panoramic views of Chania from the dining area. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a non-alcoholic drink

The free hotel shuttle is very convenient (just coordinate the time with the host). The property also features a nice outdoor pool and a useful self-service laundry, free except for detergent capsules

Emma, Maria, Nikolas and all the Reception Staff. what a Team!! I would like to thank you for the incredible work you did with us during our stay at the hotel

You better have a car to move around, but they also have a free shuttle to and from the city. Also they offer free laundly service

The food and drinks tasted good. There is still room for improvement in terms of selection and service, which is normal for a new hotel. Nevertheless, all employees were always ready to help and friendly

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 hotel was very nice. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. The beachfront was nice but rocky so bring water shoes. The pool is fantastic. Restaurant offered decent selection and the bar had a good selection too.

All staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The reception staff were particularly welcoming and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process

The restaurant offered a delicious and varied menu, with friendly and attentive service. We had a wonderful experience at this hotel, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great stay!

We received a warm welcome and had a room with a communal pool. It was large, well equipped and very clean. The main pool was just huge and well-kept, with comfortable loungers on the edge of the pool

The food is very good and better than a lot of 5 star resorts we have visited. The A’la carte Greek and Asian restaurants are amazing with the food and service excellent

The staff always go above and beyond and always make our holidays the best. We wouldn’t be going back this many times if we didn’t have a fabulous holiday

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

Our favourite was the white party disco. Although the location is remote and there isn’t a lot to do in the local area the hotel is big enough without feeling trapped. We would definitely visit again

The team at the Greek restaurant helped surprise my husband with a birthday cake on our first night too. My sons loved the water slides and pool and the evening entertainment was fun

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 we plan to come again

We came in October and even though it was nearing the end of the season the service was fantastic, couldn’t fault it. The resort was great, absolutely lovely beach and the staff are all wonderful

The management and the nail woman were very helpful and polite, the nail work was very good and indeed it all helped me feel much better after my airport stress

Great resort, staff were super helpful especially those at the restaurant. The Spa was amazing and the staff took time to speak with us before recommending treatment to book

Staff so nice. Gianluca and Maria were super sweet animators. Maria and Harra in dining were also so sweet. Everyone was just so gracious. Guest services were also amazing. Would definitely come back. Great food.

Manos, the manager in the restaurant is an absolute gem, so welcoming and friendly. Can’t fault this resort in any way 😊

The beach is two minutes from the main complex. Beach towels provided every day. There are different places on the complex to eat. We can’t praise Agapi Beach Resort enough

Very good hotel, there is a wild beach. Large numbers. Good pools. Own water park + children's slides.

Wonderful place very friendly staff excellent food and services. Come back again.

We just had our second family holiday at Marine Palace and were once again very happy with everything. The location, the food and service is great!

Lovely hotel for a family holiday. Between the pools, water park and beach our water babies were in heaven; with the inclusively priced cocktails we were too! Delicious and great range of food in the buffet

Do book on arrival if want full choice of alternative dining options. Appreciated being able to get snacks for the kids during the day

The only slight negative we found was the lack of lactose-free yoghurt, which was surprising given the multitude of options otherwise

All in all we enjoyed every Minute. We think it‘s a good idea to change to adult friendly next Season. Wish all the best for all of you

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!!!

I visited the spa with my daughter for the Cretan masssage. We both thouroughly loved this and would recommend. Albora is very good.

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

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

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

It was the perfect way to end a fun-filled day at the park. The Disney shows made us feel like we were part of the story — everything was colorful, fun, and full of joy. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations

The amenities were top-notch — especially the breakfast buffet, which offered a great variety of fresh and delicious options. One of the highlights of our trip was the Cuban show in the evening

The music, dancing, and energy were simply unforgettable! The performers were so talented, and the vibrant costumes and live band created such a lively, authentic Caribbean vibe

the quality of the food is not great, and even the themed restaurants are serving food which is not good! the Rinela has had a great face lift and the sea is delightful, whilst we were there it was so windy and the life guards were excellent at keeping a watch

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

Wonderful position, brilliant staff - nothing is a problem, and food is good. My kind of hotel where guests and staff are all very happy!

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

This is an antiquated and ridiculous rule that needs to be changed ASAP. Special mention also to Nikki at the pool bar who was utterly fantastic- a really caring individual who loves her job a was a joy to be around

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

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

The hotel is spotless, the grounds are beautiful, and the views of the sea are breathtaking. Every part of the resort felt so well cared for. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better holiday

We rested in the hotel twice. I want to come back for more)))

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

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

I will simply list my observations and allow you to see the pros and cons regarding this Hotel. It is a very beautiful Hotel 2. There are lots of space and some facilities 5

On a positive note, Irina at the reception was absolutely fantastic and made our stay really enjoyable in terms of entertainment. Also, Maria at breakfast was very friendly and left us with a great impression

The floors are sweep then wet mopped as the dining room opens for Breakfast, not only causing dust during breakfast, but also the wet floors are very slippery when walking with plates of food in both hands

Unfortunately, the temperature was relatively low in early May and there was a strong wind. Although the outdoor swimming pool was beautiful, it was not very swimmable

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

Very large and beautiful pool! The staff is very friendly! A little something for my daughter's 3rd birthday! The all-inclusive is very good! With the added bonus of à la carte dinners 👌 I highly recommend this hotel! We stayed 6 nights

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

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!

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
