Best Hotels in Crete

In conclusion, this hotel is an idyllic retreat by the sea, offering not just stunning views but also outstanding food and service. I left feeling completely rejuvenated and can't wait to return

The room was great and cleaned everyday. The food on the buffet was so nice and the view from the hotel was breathtaking. Not one bad word to say. Great visit from start to finish.

A taxi from the airport to the resort was about 30 min and 45 Euros. I recommend coordinating with the resort to schedule your pickup prior to your arrival. Staff was excellent and accommodating

We stayed at this beautiful place for a week and a half during our honeymoon. I cannot say better things about the resort & location!! The service was so accommodating and everyone was so kind

Be sure to go on all the elevators as they take you to different places. A rental car place and an ATV Quad excursion is economical and within walking distance to the resort

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with the food, it was always fresh, tasted good and selection/variety was impressive. Buffet always clean, and well maintained

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

A large hotel with usual facilities. Room was fine, though shower needs improvement as it wets the bathroom floor. Good choice of breakfast items. Location on main road not seafront so some road noise

We mostly lived out of a suitcase. The view was OK but not exciting. Very very noisy from the main road. The food was hit and miss, and not that good. As for the entertainment in the evening I would give it a miss

(Though we went to the wrong hotel on arrival and they said we could use their underground car park for €7 a day)

A hour of a so called belly dancer was limited to a woman dancing around looking bored. Another night a so called singer just talking into his mike, after 20 minutes three quarters of the audience were up and gone

Another night a so called magician entertained, again after 15 minutes or so half the audience had left. The local Greek dancers were great though. Ten PM seemed to be a curfew time as all went dead

Charged an extra 30 Euro above stated 70 Euros because of the type of room we had booked. The room was not that brilliant. A large bed but very little space to put your clothing for a 10 day stay

Our stay was wonderfully quiet and relaxing. The private swimming pool was amazing and the whole place felt peaceful. Both the room and shared spaces were very clean

The pools are inviting and the hotel is right on the beach. The town has loads of restaurants and shops

One word “PERFECT”. Would stay in your suites again and again if I had the opurtunity.

Didn't like the location adn breakfast quality is poor! On the other side, Staff were amazing 10 points. Same at the bar same at the gugine restaurant. Nice cocktails, pasta and good vibes staff..

Marika is right next to the beach which is amazing. What could be better than start your day with good breakfast and ocean view

And about the staff… I could talk about the staff forever! Everyone are so nice, warm and always trying to make your day even better

Our room was described by everyone upon check in as the best of the entire resort and it sure did not disappoint! If you are staying at this place, ask for room 747

Honestly the most beautiful and friendlist hotel i have ever been to. We arrived late in the evening not expecting to be able to eat anything but the restaurant had left us a meal with bread and fruit plate

We made some wonderful German friends. My husband had 3 treatments in the spa, i had a lovely facial on friday

Wendy and Katerina were amazing ( now facebook friends) We will be back thats for sure, we didn't even go off site we were too happy wandering around, although i will miss my cat i called Bobbin

It was hard to say goodbye yesterday. Always on the wall outside the main buffet restaurant and the bar outside with a bent ear. Have a great rest, roll on 2026!! Well done to all the staff, they all work incredibly hard

By the end of day one we were planning our next visit! Travelling with Crohn’s disease isn’t always easy, but Giannis and his staff were so incredibly helpful with food selections that they made our stay so very simple

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

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!

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

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…

We love this property! It’s a beautiful location & all the staff members are so friendly & helpful from the front desk to the buffet servers. Also the buffet is the best I’ve ever seen and tasted

But there was no air-conditioning in the main parts of the hotel except for the main bar, which didn't work when the bar was open because all the doors were open. The air-con in our room was good, thank god

Amazing location views, aesthetic, service, buffet great selection. We loved it here !!!

All so delicious and healthy too!

Travellers should also be aware that the hotel is built on a cliff and there is only one lift in the whole complex so mostly, it is stairs (a lot of them) and slopes. Terrible if you have mobility issues

Despite signs on them to say that people could not put towels on them and then disappear, this happened all the time and nobody rectified it. Suffice to say, we were pool-less for the entire holiday

The staff was very friendly and the yoga teacher was excellent. The property is beautiful and the restaurant is very good. We were disappointed in the private outdoor hot tub because it really wasn't private

Clean Room, staff excellent, service great, good location. Poor breakfast and gym inadequate

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The pool was super nice as well as the beach and the breakfast was good

Beautiful hotel, very well looked after and maintained. Staff were all incredibly welcoming, helpful and progressional. Setting is stunning, direct access to the beach and walkable into the old town. Perfect get away

Fantastic beach for swimming! Very relaxing hotel. Everyone was very friendly and exceptionally helpful

Beautiful resort, clean, outstanding staff. Among the better places I’ve ever been. Highly recommended.

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

I am a 5 star hotel traveller had many an experience good and bad, we ad a fantastic stay and we're treated with loving care throughout our stay, five star + to all the staff who made or stay a special experience

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

we have no hesitation in recommending The Blue Star Resort and Spa, Crete

From our point of view we hope that this calm atmosphere never changes as even when the hotel is full to capacity it never feels so - in fact the hotel just seems to absorb the crowds and remains therapeutically relaxing and laid back

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

The restaurant staff are always attentive at breakfast- special mention to Rokas and Katarina who looked after us every morning, remembering our drinks orders without us having to say a word

The location of the hotel is ideal. It is near all the local amenities. There is a supermarket around the corner which I believe is open until late. We found a little farmers market where we bought gifts

There is a lot do there on and off site. The atmosphere is very peaceful the white sofas in reception give that calming effect. with orange juice and are checked in very quickly

I forgot the lady's name but you checked us and you were lovely. We came off a late flight and we offered food which was very thoughtful. However a tour of the hotel would have been ideal at this point

Really beautiful hotel. Good food. Great location. The rooms opened to the private pool area are really great. Staff are very nice. Really quit and calm.

Fantastic Holiday from start to finish the most amazing experience, service beyond expectation. Breakfast was varied and very nice every day. Dinners were also especially nice

As we often returned late from going out. good selection but often repetitive. We are carribean and we found the food to be rather bland but we were respectful of the culture and ate what was provided

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

Best buffet in the world!!! Truly we couldn’t stop eating haha . Our room was very nice. Lovely pools . Really kids and family friendly. The water park is amazing also for adults

I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable stay in Crete. This review highlights the hotel’s luxury, location, and excellent service, appealing to travelers seeking a high-end experience

Then, behind the screen, it turns out that this particular villa is located right next to the shared outdoor air conditioning unit and the cable car service center! It's good that they noticed the noise right away and immediately requested a replacement, but apparently all the villas were occupied beforehand, along with full booking and so on

It's good that they were smart enough to demand the room they booked. Hurray, they gave it to you, but an hour and a half had already passed, and naturally, dinner was missed

Good afternoon, I'd like to share my impressions from the very beginning! So, here it is: arrival at a wonderful hotel, praised by 1,000 reviews

My stay at The Royal Senses Hotel in Crete was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home

My stay at the hotel 06-11 October was perfect. The workers of the hotel were hospitable and pleasant. Rooms are always tidy and good equipped. I had nice view on the street and the beach

The staff were lovely and hard working, the hotel was very clean and smelt really nice. The location is perfect, you are a 2 minute walk to the nearest beach and there are lots of bars/restaurants and shops nearby

The food was varied and you can order food/drinks straight to your sun lounger when chilling by the pool, there were always sun loungers available too. The hotel had a lovely vibe and it wasn't too noisy

So generous with free wine tasting, cocktail and cooking class experience, very close to the beach and restaurants and surrounding villages - plenty to do ! The staff were accommodating and willing to please answering any questions or requests

Perfect location! Close lots of local tavernas and bars, car rentals and excursions… My holiday couldn’t be better! Thanks to Albatros! Also highly recommend to visit spa. Was there twice for sauna and massage

A friendly resort that felt like coming home. I loved the blend of classical and modern with traditional Greek influences and food, a unique combination which makes it a place you want to come back to again

Our stay for our honeymoon was amazing. The staff upgraded us to the most incredible room, and every single staff member is extremely kind and friendly. The all inclusive food was delicious and plentiful

Palmera Beach Hotel was beautiful, clean and stylish. We had a problem with our first room, due to my disability, but the manager went above and beyond to make our stay perfect

Staff helped us set up taxis and direct us around. We came at the very end of tourist season, so it was exactly the quiet yet adventurous trip we were looking for

I stayed at this hotel for 7 days, and my experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were lovely and attentive, and all my requests were fully satisfied. The food was tasty, with a good variety of options available

Food was well varied and always of good quality, we ate well every day, there were plenty of drink options. The garden with the sunlougers was very beautiful and was a nice place to ay in the sun and relax

We had the best stay there and would definitely go back there

The staff are great here everyone very friendly, Sypro’s at the pool bar looked after us really well and went over and above and made the best cocktails! Thank you! Also the lady at breakfast with red and black braids she was very cheerful every morning always in high spirits

Another place to try is peskesi watch the YouTube video on it, it shows what it’s all about and the food was some of the best we tried, we didn’t drink but starter, main and two sides with a bottle of water and beer came to €50 euros

We went half board which was good we were happy because they said we can swap evening meal for lunch which worked for us as we like to eat out in different places in the evening

Hotel is good food, good variety with all all inclusive hotel food it’s a little samey but I can’t complain

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The staff have been extremely accommodating and so kind. The food and drinks are fabulous. The rooms and decoration is so aesthetic and clean

Entertainment has been so fun and inclusive of guests. Getting everyone up on their feet dancing. The location is beautiful not far from the beach at all

Food was excellent, great facilities, beach was nice, entertainment was good. Good value for the money.

The food in the main room is excellent and with a wide selection, the chef is always there with a big smile

They accommodated my request to have my room and my friend’s room together. Over all hospital and 5star experience was with Madam Tonia, restaurant manager. Thanks for making my birthday memorable

We arrived at the hotel and immediately they upgraded our room to a room with a private pool (very nice, but unfortunately not usable). Everything was perfect and appreciated

Very nice place for families and very nice staff. Walters at the resturant very kind. The cook was very nice also. Great menu and dishes.

On the other hand, in the two restaurants, unfortunately, the food is not made on site, Just heats it up and serves it
