Best Hotels in Crete

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

The entertainment staff were brilliant, very friendly, spoke to everyone around the pool each day and their evening shows were so good, the effort put in from them all was amazing! Big shout out to David! Our daughters just thought he was the best 😊

Hotel excellent and kept very clean. Food amazing with lots of choice. Entertainment team were highlight for us. Our kids loved them and the shows that were put on were amazing

We had an excellent family stay at Atlantica Mikri Poli Crete in October. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and the views are stunning. The staff were fantastic – so friendly and attentive to all our needs

Room was quite spacious and very clean. Loved the animation group - everyone was doing all they could to make our stay the best experience. I highly reccomend this hotel

We enjoyed our vacation very much, room was big and had a nice view to the sea. Food was generally great, good variety and very service minded and friendly staff.

All the staff was super friendly anywhere you go, reception, pool bar, blue moon bar, room service and animation team for kids! My son loved it every minute of it! Thank you for such an amazing holiday! We are thinking of coming back again next year!

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

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

Excellent car parking services as a car is needed to explore the island

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

This makes it hard for vegans, people with allergies etc, I am sure they could do a little better on this!

They all went out of their way to make you feel welcomed and valued. Thank you all for an enjoyable time

The beach resort is lovely, clean and the rooms are clean and can be cleaned daily. The food is lovely but it’s the same things every night with a very small variation so does get a bit boring by day 5-6

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

Lovely cakes, ice cream and fruit for dessert. Good rooms with efficient cleaning, the area itself was also cleaned several times a day. However, there were a few things that surprised us

We did use it one day and as the resort was shut there was only one other family there, only downside was we couldn’t use the shop as it had closed down for the season but the main rd is very close

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 high-quality

The hotel is situated in the middle of loads of family friendly restaurants all serving delicious food and we were able to rent a car for the day easily, with access to the hotel’s free parking also

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

Our second stay this year! Amazing hotel. I'd accidently booked the wrong room type, and we were upgraded for free. Giannis provided excellent service around the pool

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

The food at the restaurant was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from, and the breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve ever had. The location was also perfect — close to everything, yet quiet and relaxing

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

Our second stay here and won't be our last! Excellent holiday!

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 service never wavered

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 care

? The residents club offers all inclusive. Verve champagne is the house champagne which is something we can all get used too. Above all, as always with the Greeks. It’s natural to be engaging and enthralling

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.

The morning we left we were pretty badly treated at the bar, really sad… follow-up by guest relations with Mara was really perfect, just what you can expect from an hotel like this one

), the pools are clean and pleasant, the rooms are perfect, the spa is available and the shows are top-notch. I recommend this hotel to all families looking for a sporting vacation, relaxation and Cretan nutrition

Wonderful weeks break, the hotel location is a short walk into Stalis and on the beach. Plenty of pools to relax for adults or spend quality time with kids if a family

Had a really wonderful massage with Rafaella. Overall a really good massage and a perfect relaxing venue. Going back tomorrow and can’t wait! Would 100% recommend to you guys!

We had a wonderful stay at Arminda with our 2YO daughter. The location is great with easy access to a beach which is excellent for swimming, and close to local towns for authentic dining & sightseeing

There's also a convienient laundry rack in the rooms. The food was fine, maybe needed some more salt at times. We arrived quite late and they even had a cold buffet waiting for us which we didn't expect!

The kids klubb was lovely for my cousins. The entertainment was so nice and put in a lot of effort. My aunt went there last year and the hotel and entertainment has had a great improvement. Wonderful!

Good overall, well managed but has some are Good overall. We stayed in an imperial room on the beach side of the hotel. Very good facilities overall, but some of the rooms need to be updated and soundproofed

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at. They have for sure the nicest staff ever. So accommodating. Great food the breakfast buffet is so so good. Definitely will come back and recommend highly.

We spent the last night of our weeks holiday at this resort as a treat. The room was very good - very clean. Some excellent perks such as welcome drinks / cocktails and a bottle of wine

The breakfast was good but I was told I could not take my coffee out from the breakfast area - whatever we had had to be consumed there. Bearing in mind the pool can literally be 5 steps away from the breakfast area

Would we go back again - maybe - the layout and rooms and gifts were very good

Since not everything is perfect, towards the end of our stay, the room next door got occupied and I could hear them being intimate, so thin the walls are! The cleaning lady filled the shower gel container with water, and did not refill the lotion

The hotel had a very chill vibe, good entertainment but very child focused- but separate from bars so we just stayed at the bar and played uno it was lovely!! There was not many teenagers so hard for the kids to make friends- it’s not a friend making hotel

A lovely family friendly hotel ! good food! Very clean! Wonderful staff especially Anna Maria at the Olympic bar ! All in all great !!

it was great location, sea view room, well organised, friendly staff, clean accommodation, and family friendly environment. Special thanks to Rakesh who was very helpful, kind and professional

We just returned from a week holiday and we had a wonderful time at this hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel

Once some men came in from outside of the hotel without wristbands and drank beer and ate food and swam and then when they got figured out left- it must be a thing they do with hundreds of hotels, so keep phones close

The hotel was extremely safe other than that and it was fine to leave belongings. Right next to the beach it was a few steps away so great for sunset pictures. Overall an amazing holiday I loved it so much, thank you

Without question the best run hotel I have ever stayed at. Every single detail is perfect. Every single staff member is excellent. The food in the buffet and restaurants is exceptional

This was such an incredible resort. The staff is absolutely impeccable and their beachside/poolside service was amazing. The buffet was impressive and the food was absolutely delicious. I’d go back over and over.

Food was epic and the service around the pool really great. Just make sure to download the group app and book your restaurants as soon as you are confirmed. Got upgraded to a swim up room too so that was pretty special

Downloaded Hotel app before we left Canada but unable to book restaurants 7 days in advance of arrival. Also the buffet food was underwhelming at times. Also allowing smoking was annoying

It's a 4 star at best and there's nothing luxury about it aside from the one pool and the sunsets

We can highly recommend a trip to the Agreco Farm for dinner, The White (adults only fine dining), and Asia White - although all of the food, including the buffet, was excellent

We are currently resting here. With children, the best vacation is only here. Food is at the highest level, many thanks to the chef, who cares about his guests and wants everyone to be satisfied

Great hotel regarding price-performance ratio. Clean and good food. However it’s definitely not 5 star hotel, 4 star at most. No nice beach close to hotel, but there is variety of pools to choose from.

The suite we stayed in was very spacious with a private rooftop terrace, the room was cleaned daily and stocked with bottled water every day

The staff is very friendly, the girls clean at the highest level. I liked everything, I recommend it to everyone!

Nice 4 star resort (on some websites it appears as 5 star for some reason). They have three pools and and two small adjacent kinds pools and are located by the sea-side

The buffet is good with always something to choose from despite the fact that some dishes are not so well done. Very nice and friendly staff and very clean

We have always found the Elounda Bay Palace to be one of the best hotels in Elounda, and even though we have been to another in the early days of visiting Crete, we always came back to the Elounda Bay Palace, as we found everything as we wanted, such an nice atmosphere, relaxing place to unwind and forget about your stressful work life

We had a side sea view which was different, but a good view towards the sea. Very clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed. Very close to the restaurant, which was convenient and access to the beach

Breakfast and dinner was excellent with a variety every night, and always hot and well prepared. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and it makes our stay so much more enjoyable

We booked again for the Elounda Bay Palace, staying for 7 nights in June and looking forward to our 7th visit. We were given a lovely reception upon arrival as always, quick check in progress and were shown to our room

Excellent! The hotel is fabulous; staff amazing especially Anna Maria, she is the best , tries so hard to make your holiday the best, we love coming here

All the staff from the restaurant are incredibly friendly and always smiling. A huge thank you to Costas , who made us feel right at home with his positive and professional attitude

I enjoy coming to Anemos everytime, nice resort, has aquapark, is next to the beach, rooms are well kept aaand they make very good cocktails in the bar above the lobby :)

From the moment we arrived till the moment we had to sadly leave, we were absolutely overjoyed with the resorts design, services, and food. We had room with our own pool and it was one of the best things you can imagine

Everything about this hotel was amazing from the rooms to the food and great staff. There is nothing bad to say all excellent We went with my Daughter and her Husband and would definitely go back

Very nice resort with very good and friendly service Nice variety of restaurants and good entraînement . Easy access to the beach .

In my and my girlfriends opinion, this is one of if not the best resort on Crete, and we are visiting this year again

We had good wifi connection around the resort and the beach but very poor connection in the bedroom and the bedroom was very small for 3 adults

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

We made a complaint to the reception regarding our glass toilet door making an aweful noise when opening and closing as it was getting caught on something 3 times we reported it and was told nothing wrong with it

Entertainment was good, but the DJ by the pool during the day may have been a bit too loud and struggled to find the right songs for daytime djing, put me off my relaxation and had to put earphones in at times

The variety of restaurants is excellent – every meal was a pleasure – and in the evenings there is live music, which creates a wonderful atmosphere 🎶

Lovely large hotel with 4 pools! Right beside the beach. ( over the road) Free sunbeds for residents. So much choice on the buffet meals, each breakfast and evening meal. Great shower and all toiletries in the room

i took a video to reception of the door and now small shards of glass. they soon took notice and repaired the fault. Booked a massage/ they changed the time to fit other ppl in so moved our appointment

The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. A special mention goes to the lovely lady in the hotel shop – she is simply amazing, warm, and welcoming 💛

I had a great holidays really loveky 100 proccent recommended and will goo againn we did everything from sport too entertaining and had a lovely massage from maria the besttt the beach was very joyfull and the sea always calm great food 100procent the best

The Crete massage here was 5*, very good and the physiotherapist was very well informed and provided a very good service at a reasonable price

We had a lovely experience it was amazing very beatifull hotel and all workers was really friendly we had a really good massage from aegio spa drom maria and leonidas it was the best and we had an amazing volleyball with liam everything was perfect food great and sea view room also thank you very muchh

Would highly recommend using the service, the person was Boso who was really good

An absolutely relaxing experience! The atmosphere was peaceful, the staff was incredibly friendly (Full Body and Face Massage and Mask done by Pantelis), and everything was spotless.

I had my massage with Maria and it was amazing I had the Cretan massage which is whole body and a face massage and it was very nice gentle and relaxing

The staff were all amazing and we definitely noticed the luxury service in the house keeping frequency, room service speed and professionalism and the mini bar refreshes. Best all inclusive food we have had

We had a wonderful time at the resort. We enjoyed the spa. The food was very good. We enjoyed the community cats also. We will be back. Nick was a very big help to us throughout our entire stay.

We stayed for a week in a suite with a private pool and loved it. The staff were excellent to a fault, especially the bar staff - couldn't rate them high enough

Food, staff, rooms and all facilities are great. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The swim-up was fantastic, quiet most of the time and waiter service to pool side was unexpected but appreciated

We had a wonderful stay at the Stella Palace and can wholeheartedly recommend it to other travelers

Private beach areas are lovely too. The water park for the granddaughter is great too

We booked a massage in the Spa with the very friendly spa manager Hasmik. I got a really relaxing massage from the masseur Stefanos who was able to give me advice for my back problem

Fantastic stay at an extremely friendly and professionally run hotel right on the beach. The rooms are spruce, bright and well maintained. We had a view right over the pool and palm trees

We spent 5 days in the Rethymno Palace as a couple, our teenage daughter and 4 of her friends. It's a nice hotel with indoor and outdoor pool and direct access to beach and sea

​"Our experience at Rethymno Palace was nothing short of amazing. A huge thank you to the Hotel Manager, Andreas, whose leadership truly shows in every detail of the resort

Beautiful setting and ambient! Very attentive and friendly staff! A place I would definitely recommend and return! THANK YOU GUYS!

The food is varied and well presented and the staff are attentive and caring throughout
