Best Hotels in Crete

Excellent place to stay . Food is great , location right on the beach and staff brilliant

Another thing is that although there are enough sun beds for every guest, unfortunately many choose to block the best located ones for themselves by sprinting each morning before breakfast, covering the sun beds with towels and using them much later

Other than the beach, the large pool is also a great place to chill (I think it was a good idea to remove the diving boards one can still see at some pictures). The resort is very calm and peaceful

I understand there are bugs and stuff outside which can get to the room sometimes but I believe the hotel should try to limit the chances by taking good care of the rooms

Even though this is mostly the cheeky guests' fault, I'd appreciate the hotel to prevent this from happening. Sandy, very clean, actually not very crowded compared to the other beaches nearby

Beautiful resort in a beautiful location, however, few things are missing to give it a full score. The hotel offers great views at the mountains on one side and the open sea on the other

Excellent quality hotel with a large and beautiful swimming pool, very comfortable rooms and professional and attentive staff. A true 5* hotel, a 5-minute walk from the historic center of Heraklion

This hotel is on the island and it can be said to be a very good living environment. The swimming pool is very beautiful, the breakfast is also very good, and the small bar in front of the door is full of atmosphere

we could not find a hotel in the southern crete, and luckly it is only one hour drive back to heraklion. this is the best hotel we could find in the souther area of keraklion.

The location is very good, quite close to the airport, walking distance from the city center and the archaeological museum. Driving distance is not far from Knossos

It should be the best hotel on the island? There are so many delicious things to do on Ke Island! The slow-roasted lamb is really delicious! !

Nice hotel. Very good breakfast.

Not far to walk to the two pools although steep in parts but manageable and buggy’s were around the resort. The swimming pools aren’t heated like most aren’t abroad but were amazing to have a good swim in and never busy

The ladies on reception couldn’t do enough to help especially Maria. Always helpful and with a smile. The spa and staff were excellent. I had two massages and facials which were amazing the products organic and Cretian

Oversaw the area brilliantly everyone felt special and looked after he is a legend. George is also amazing and excellent at his job and in quieter moments it was so interesting to talk to them both

We always were able to get a sun bed and lots of shade if you wanted it. Loved the aqua aerobics classes three times a week too! Music was played a few evenings a week too which was very good

It was the lovely staff that really made our holidays special we have had three holidays there. Dimitris who usually managed our area we sat in for our meals was excellent

The location was excellent about 10 minutes flat walk along a promenade to a lovely large sandy beach- Almyros beach or a pebbly beach just in front of the hotel

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

Set times for breakfast, lunch and dinner and there was also food available outside of these times at the outside bar. Service for drinks during meals was very good and staff were really friendly and accommodating

A quiet atmospheric family place. Clean rooms. Excellent service. Friendly staff and professional manager. Tasty food. Highly recommend!

David is best animator, he is good and very friendly, Rafa is also a good man he is very funny and kind, bar is very good and the beach is very worm I am very proud that I was here

Just returned from a 10 day holiday at hotel have no negatives to give, The hotel is stunning, the staff are amazing and go out their way to make sure everything is perfect, food is best I have had in an all inclusive, beach is lovely, recommend sea shoes as rocky getting in water, lovely and shallow and warm, drinks are great with lots of cocktails made properly, Rooms are a bit tired but we couldn...

Great place, food was very good all was very tasty and well made , small hotel almost like a village, make you feel like you are in a private area, small and nice sandy beach only for the hotel, rooms were very simple but to be honest you dont need more than that

5 * EXCELLENT STAY Highly recommend, great for families, couples or single person. Staff very friendly Rooms always clean

There is 2 mascots Captain T & Tui the robot who again my little girl just adored and they also do a healthy eating scheme which encouraged my daughter to eat super well this holiday in order for her to collect stickers and get a certificate! Also another special mention for Freyja who was on the desk in the lobby ready to greet us every morning, she paid extra attention to us and our little girl which...

My review is based on what we paid for a family of 4, all inclusive, it was definitely worth the special offer price, however it is not a 4* hotel (though we didn’t pay 4* prices)

The stone amphitheatre was uncomfortable and the bar service was minimal at best. The main bar has zero atmosphere but the bar service is good (shout out to Irish girl who was brilliant)

We had two balconies but only set of furniture 🤷🏻‍♀️ Food: This was very mixed; breakfast was great, lunch in the snack bar was great but the restaurant wasn’t, the evening meals in the restaurant were generally ok and the two al la carte were really good

The outdoor seating is good if you can get a seat but again lacks atmosphere. I’m not a fan of loud music but it would really benefit from some kind of holiday music, a live band and some lighting

All in all for what we paid for it it was good value. The staff on the whole are very good and the views are stunning

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!

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 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!

Good located between chersonissos and malia. So it's a quite place and so you can relax. Take a taxi for 10 euro and you are in malia / chersonissos

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

Anyone visiting this hotel will not be disappointed. Food good location excellent,Cocktails /drinks really good. Hopefully will be returning in a couple of yrs

When i booked this hotel it was because weve never been to Crete but id heard of Stalis so decided to try it and wasn’t disappointed, the only thing i would say is before you book check if your actually in hotel grounds or in the annexe, because if your in the annexe its about 100 yards up the road from the main hotel

From the first welcome there was an excellence about the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, when we went to breakfast we came back to a room made up with fresh towels every day

We didn’t use the pools due to the wonderful beach and loungers. The hotel gym was excellent for a solid workout, rowing,step and running machines together with a balanced and safe selection of loose and fixed weights

There are excellent restaurants in the area, roots and Sirrocos being particular favourites. A bus takes you into the old town of chania for 2 euros and it is a 20 euro taxi journey back

Breakfast was excellent in quality and choice. The view from room 427 was amazing. The beach is stunning sandy and safe. In the middle of October we spent our days swimming in the sea

This is the perfect hotel if you’re looking for peace and relaxation, as it’s very calm and not lively. We took a taxi into Chania a couple of times, it’s a beautiful place and definitely worth visiting

There’s also a little jewellery shop by reception with a great selection of brands and very reasonable prices. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel, it’s ideal for a relaxing, luxurious getaway

Just excellent. We went here with our 1 year son, Big Baby. Nice aquapark and good view over sea. Also very nice food.

If we ate outside the hotel, The gentleman who worked at the entrance by the gate gave us some good options to choose from. I would def stay again and do recommend it

My daughter and I had such a good experience with this hotel. The staff was spot on and the food was wonderful. The view from my balcony was gorgeous

The hotel is good, the managers are fantastic with great attitude. There was a very lovely young girl at the entrance of the restaurant during breakfast - she was so lovely and welcoming

At the end of August, my wife and I organized a wedding in Crete. We accommodated all our guests in the Horizon hotel, which was a hit. The reception staff were very helpful, the cleaning team was thorough

The food optios are great and the food is always fresh, the chef is there to assist with allergies or food intolarences. Upon request early breakfast and lunch basket is available

This hotel is very good value for the cost… The staff are all amazingly friendly and attentive. The rooms are clean / room serviced everyday with fresh linen/towels. Its more than adequate for 4*

The food is excellent and rooms very clean I would definitely recommend this hotel it gives a family atmosphere

Always a good selection of food for all 3 meals even with 2 picky eaters in our group. Good selection of cocktails at the bar. Have stayed in better 5* hotels but standard was definitely above a 4* hotel

We recommend this and say look beyond any negative reviews as it lovely!! Theres a lovely jewellery shop inside hotel with the man that makes the jewellery his name is Thanossis and he is lovely, i bought an earring and pendant set handmade that is beautiful!! All in all for the price we recommend this hotel as a lovely stay , relaxing with nice surroundings, beach and bars! Hope to see them again...

I have read bad reviews on the food here and all i can say is you must expect gourmet food at 4* prices- the food is delicious !! Cocktails are nice , again not fancy but you can pay if you want that, all inclusive drinks are adequate and generous served by friendly bar staff The entertainment team are super fun and so friendly

This is our last full day at Serita Beach hotel. We have been here for 9 nights and was here the same last October 2024! After having such a lovely holiday last year we came back with the family and grandchildren

Because of these numerous goodies and entertainment, one can’t help but notice that the management spends a lot of money in order to make their guests happy; whether it pertains to the variety of food, numerous Staff or the many programs offered

I can’t speak positively enough about this hotel. We came as a family of 4 with a 4 year old and a 20 month old and everything about the hotel is so carefully thought about and children are really really well considered

The pools are lovely with the main pool being big enough to swim lengths etc and have plenty of room when it’s busy and the children’s pool was fantastic for our girls and I’d imagine children up to at least 10-12

There’s a mini Astro to play football on and the steps down to the beach right next to the pools. On the beach there’s a dedicated play space with a climbing frame

Petra Mare is a very good place for a relaxing family holiday. The food quality is above average, and although it’s prepared in small batches (which sometimes means a short wait), everything is fresh and tasty

I don’t mind kids, but in dining area was like 30 kids screaming all at once it’s crazy, similar problem is loud rooms. i would make 1 hour eating time only for adults. Otherwise everything about hotel is on the peak

We struggled a bit with the toilet door lock which seemed to be old and the door handle wasn't very stable. This was our first time with all inclusive and we absolutely loved the food in the buffet restaurant

There was never a dull moment, yet we could also find quiet spots to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Overall, this all-inclusive hotel exceeded our expectations

Blue Marine has a very peaceful location, so if you're looking for a relaxing experience and amazing views, this might be a great choice

Excellent as usual 13th time at his hotel we love it, food excellent and varied choices at each meat, staff very friendly and always helpful . This year he man pool is heated which is a plus

I wouldn't bother to reserve a table from the a la carte restaurants. We tried the Italian one, but the food there was a disappointment. The service was excellent, though

The sun loungers by the pool were all reserved at 7 am so it was nice that there were plenty of sun loungers also on the beach. Just beware that the lift between hotel and beach could be unreliable

Perfect location! Best value for money! Excellent service!

Very good location, perfect breakfasts ,will be better if new bottles with water will be available every day

We even took 2 more pieces on purpose, but it turned out to be a bit sour when we ate it, an overnight watermelon in summer; in addition, we stayed for two days, and 2 drinking water bottles were provided on the first day, but not on the second day

Although the service staff helped to take the boxes downstairs, the hotel was on the second floor, and we had to move one floor by ourselves after leaving the hotel; the hotel had watermelon for breakfast on the first day, and we were very happy

This is the worst service of the four hotels we stayed in during our trip to Greece, and it is also the only one we gave a bad review

Because it is close to the port and attractions, I booked it for 2 days. Unfortunately, this is the worst hotel in my trip to Greece. There is a weird smell in the hotel

Lots of good local restaurants, the nicest overlooking the sea or a little way up in the hills behind. Dimitri, our very helpful and friendly host, made some useful recommendations

We had a lovely week at Aetheras Beach, Dimitris took care of us in an excellent way

We’ve searched for this year holiday for 6 months because one bad review put us off. But decided to spend this year at Caldera and that was the best decision ever

We got the room at the lowest ground which was a bit dark but travelling with a toddler was very handy as we weren’t woken up at the sunrise 😅 and the bushes around the balcony (we complained about them at first) turned out to be very handy at evenings when we sat there during heavy wind

Water and wine waited for us in the fridge, he served us with fresh orange juice 🍊🍊🍊 and gave us local raki when he found out that we like that 😄 Beautiful apartment with a very high standard 👍 We can highly recommend this place and we would love to come back!

Everything you need is within walking distance: the Atlas supermarket, bus stop, and other conveniences are just across the street. The host was absolutely fantastic—kind, welcoming, and always ready to help

I have to mention especially the young team led by restaurant manager Alexandros and Soula who lead them with friendliness kindness and humour. We loved staying there and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone

I cannot praise the hotel enough but what makes it so special is the friendliness and helpfulness of every member of staff from front desk restaurant staff and room attendants

The evening entertainment program is gentle and enjoyable - none of the obnoxious loud music other hotels offer. Overall, our experience was heavenly and I would highly recommend this place!

We stayed at Caramel last week and can only praise the hotel. The accommodation was fantastic. We stayed in a bungalow with private pool

The hotel accommodation is arranged in separate buildings surrounding an amazing central pool and has a relaxed village feeling

Every single staff member (and there are many) was friendly, courteous, and extremely dedicated to giving their guests top notch service and a pampered experience. The food was absolutely amazing with so many choices…

1) Location : The Royal Blue is just an oasis of calm , tucked away in an unspoilt area of Crete. There are no tavernas nearby or rowdy bars so this is not for you if you are looking for a party hotel

Who was travelling? Family, 4 adults How long was our stay? 10 days We had an excellent experience in the Royal Blue Resort in September 2024!!! More Details: Rooms: We stayed the first days for full relaxation in the Azure Blue Residence and it was amazing

If they say ‘Home is where the heart is’ then The Royal Blue has certainly become our second home as it steals a small piece of our hearts every time we leave

In summary The Royal Blue is the perfect destination for a truly relaxing holiday but what truly makes it is the staff and there are two individuals who need singling out because they truly understand what five star service means - Anastasia and Vasillis , thank you once again for treating us like royalty for the week

The buffet was excellent, with great variety and quality, and the resort itself had everything we could possibly wish for

If you are fortunate enough to meet her then you will encounter a smile and an attitude that is wonderfully warm and friendly. You know that she will do her utmost to ensure your stay is as perfect as possible

The hotel exudes luxury with top-notch amenities, including a stunning pool area with comfortable sunbeds perfect for relaxation. The beautifully decorated rooms also offer breathtaking views and are impeccably clean

This is included free of charge in other hotels in the area (Atlantica Caldera). Our room was cleaned every day and the cleaners were excellent and very friendly. Really kind people and we are grateful to them

Alright, I've removed "Crete, Greece" from the review: From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of unparalleled luxury and warmth. This hotel isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience

The staff are the heart of this establishment, each member radiating genuine friendliness and attentiveness, making every interaction a pleasure. Their dedication to guest satisfaction is truly remarkable

Our stay at Senseana Sea Side Resort & Aquadventure was truly exceptional, and what made it unforgettable was the incredible people who work there. From the very first day, we felt genuinely cared for

It was the combination of these luxurious accommodations, the staff's genuine care, the hotel's prime location, and the ease of exploring the area that made my stay truly unforgettable
