Best Hotels in Crete

The staff are lovely and attentive the facilities high quality and well maintained. There is always a club car to take you around the resort if you wish but a stroll through the grounds is pleasant too

I recently stayed at the sister property, Domes Aulus Zante, and I have to say that the staff, location, and service exceeded all expectations here too. Definately you should visit.

The beach bar itself is wonderful—the service is excellent, and all the staff behind the bar are friendly and attentive. But Lambis stands out in the most special way

We had an amazing time at the beach bar, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was Lambis. His name in Greek means “full of light,” and honestly, it couldn’t be more fitting—he absolutely shines

Without a shadow of a doubt, Lambis deserves the award for the happiest person you’ll ever meet. His smile is constant, genuine, and comes straight from the heart

All the staff in the restaurants were also amazing, Georgie at breakfast and the lady who got my olive oil every morning! I cannot remember all the names but all staff were so good. The buggy guys were brilliant

The breakfast buffet was good and all of the restaurants on property are great as well. The golf course provides a nice relaxing round with constant wonderful views of the bay

A Truly Amazing Stay – Like Paradise! We’ve just returned from an incredible stay at this hotel as a family of four from Scotland, and we’re already missing it! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles from the staff, who couldn’t have been more helpful or welcoming

Their kindness made a wonderful first impression and set the tone for the rest of our stay. The hotel itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, with stunning views that made it feel like a slice of paradise

if i could live in this hotel I would. the beach is stunning, staff is kind and helpful, and the rooms are spacious and clean

We stayed at the Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort as a family of 4 (kids aged 8 and 11), and really enjoying their Premium Junior Suite with Shared Pool

Our kids absolutely loved the pool – we could hardly get them out of it! The buffet food was always fresh and delicious

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, making it very easy to explore the area and get around. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a very comfortable atmosphere

Conclusion: The price is too high for the shortcomings, and it's also not a good choice for us because we like to explore different countries on our travels, and there's nothing at the Astrom that has a Greek character

Needed a hotel in Ierapetra to stay at whilst I dealt with a family bereavement here, so glad I chose this one, only minutes away from town centre and bus station and metres from the promenade and the many beachfront cafes

One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast – a wide variety of delicious options, fresh and nicely presented. Overall, a great experience and I would happily stay here again!

The staff are all very friendly and cannot do enough for you. The hotel is spotless throughout, the rooms are large and each has its own balcony

There is a wide selection of hot and cold breakfast items so there is something for everyone

Some of the best selection of Bourbons and whiskeys I have seen outside the United States

The location was great - nearly in the middle of Chania and within walking distance of the old town and the port. The service was great, with the staff really trying to be very helpful

Breakfast was great with lots of choice. Parking was interesting tho, but the staff helped heaps to ensure that we could arrive and leave without too much fuss. The rooms were quite roomy and the beds comfy

We stayed at Samaria Hotel for four nights as a couple with a toddler, and the experience was simply wonderful. The hotel is charming with a perfect location, everything is spotless and sparkling clean

The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, making the stay very comfortable. Breakfast is amazing, generous, and delicious. Above all, the staff are exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and warm

Georgio in particular became the face of the hotel, always smiling, friendly and familiar, what one wants and needs first thing in a very early morning, and last thing after a long day! Overall the hotel was truly exceptional! Clean with all the amenities you would want and expect whether traveling for business or on vacation

Service was excellent and special mention to Kostas at La Strada and the drinks waitress (sorry I didn't get your name) at The Steak Restaurant

There was a lovely water channel outside our room and a water station nearby which was useful. The toiletries were very nice and we also had a free mini bar. The hotel is very clean and the grounds well maintained

Food was excellent and the a la carte restaurants were the best ones we've ever experienced in any all-inclusive hotels we've stayed in

The indoor pool was very cold and you had to wear shoes and dry yourself between being in the pool and going to the steam room etc. as well as having a shower in between also. It was very strict and not relaxed

The food was a very high quality and the cakes etc beautifully presented. The staff in the restaurant were very pleasant. There was a Dr there 6 days a week. We were less impressed with the Spa

We went with TUI and there was no welcome meeting. We spoke to some German representatives who were not that helpful or pleasant

All the staff was so nice and friendly and eager to help! Special thanks to Hara (the name means happy in greek) so we called her happy because she was always smiling and so serviceminded and friendly and made our stay even better 🩷

Michallis in the mainbar was also so nice and the other barman in the poolbar witch we unfortunally forgot the name of. Do not hesitate to book, you will have a lovely stay

The sunbeds fill up very quickly, it’s advisable to get up early if you are spending your day on the beach. It’s so worth it though! The beach bar provided a great service too

We just arriwed home after spending a week here and even tho it was early in the season we had a lovely time at this hotell

Just spent a fantastic week here. Yes the rooms are small but perfectly adequate, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The towels were changed every day and the bedding every other day. I found the food to be very good

The rooms are big ( we got an upgrade), the amenities are excellent ( multiple pools) and the location is right on the beach. You might stay across the road but many resorts in this region have similar design

21 Room9 Was absolutly a perfect Holiday. The Hotel is perfect and every day you feel like home. They clean the room's perfect. But the best was the 3 lady's and 1 guy at the pool. Georgia, Sofia, Despoina, Manolis

Amazing food (actually too good). Only downer is a 100 euro "climate crisis tax" slapped on your bill at the end. If you're going to obligatorily add 100 euros to a bill. You should say this at the time of booking

Flawless Excellent staff and property truly amazing experience

Beautiful place to stay! Highly recommend!

Gem in Greece Absolute best surprise hotel. Loved everything about it. From service to very big rooms, lovely food, other guests etc. Will definitely return.

All amenities are great - likely recently renovated. Food was delicious, didn’t feel the need to leave the hotel for 7 days. Sun loungers are high quality and comfortable. The staff is on another level of professionalism

One lady from Romania ( so sorry I forgot her name) made such an effort to speak and better her English with us (which was very good anyway) hats off to all staff!! How the aqua aerobics lady manages in that heat is beyond me! I never participate is things like that but we loved it

Been here a week and what a lovely hotel from rooms to food to staff had the best time would highly recommend thanks you sunrise village hotel for making our holiday we will definitely be back

Highly recommended for families and couples. Nice clean hotel with phenomenal food and service. Friendly atmosphere. We spent there 10 nights and we could always count on excellent service and staff.

Fantastic hotel in a beautiful area! We arrived late night and were greeted by a bottle of water & plate of food in our room which we were incredibly greatful for! The room a support studio was perfect for the 2 of us with everything we needed

There are different tastes for every day and, best of all, wonderful local food. The rooms are bright and very clean. We warmly recommend this wonderful place to stay

Very Nice, fresh place, good food and fun staff. Close to everything. Only missing a gym. But you can find close by. Highly recommend! From sweden.

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

Was bought as present for our honeymoon and the room wasn’t the best so I emailed them explaining and next day we got the best upgrade with private pool only thing I’d say is the pool was ice cold, but free robes slippers a bath with an amazing view the food was lovely the staff was amazing the shows were good the bar staff was so lovely and chatty! I’d 100% recommend sad to leave but had the best...

What truly made our stay unforgettable was the customer service — it was honestly one of the best experiences we've ever had

Beautiful hotel and surroundings, the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, the food was superb and freshly made and refreshed in a timely manner, our entire family were extremely happy with the food choices each day and the all inclusive aspect meant we never missed out on any snacks or ice creams around the pools

The hotel is close to the little beach at the bottom of the hill and this is well worth a visit and we often enjoyed a few hours down there soaking up the sun or getting a different view over sunset

We had an amazing holiday in September at this hotel and would highly recommend it for families looking to relax and create unforgettable memories. The hotel itself is lovely and very clean

The views around the hotel are beautiful, and there’s a stunning beach nearby that made our days even more special

Very good city location by walking distance to the Port, Bazaar (Central) and short driving distance to the Hanya Beaches. Excellent and very warm hospitality! Good room with good-brand almost new furnished bathroom

The view of the hotel pool from our balcony. The staff is extremly friendly (and funny), the hotel looks very good, the breakfast buffet has a big variation of products

The staff at the hotel were warm and welcoming, friendly, helpful and made our holiday better!

Very special thanks to Michael, Vassilis and Alexandros from F&B Team and Anastasia from the Reception for their utmost kind and smiley care on all

Very expensive for what you get, rooms are adequate at best, pool is small, surrounding area to pool is tight, breakfast was good however. Location is OK, 10-15 mins into old town harbour.

Less than a fifteen minute walk to the old town and main seafront area. There was a great supermarket close to the hotel, which was good to pick up a few extra things for my stay. Overall, I loved my stay here

There was a queue for checkin so the receptionist / porter told us to use the restaurant and come back when we had eaten, which was good, tea/coffee machines were working as well as wine/beer and soft drinks, limited food available, rolls, salad, ham and cheese

Second problem the room the family 2 girls and a boy (family 2 of them were adults) was allocated was a double bed and a bed settee we had asked for a family double room, 1am in the morning we told them to use the room and was assured the room would be changed in the morning - to give credit to the reception staff in the morning the room was changed, the night porter had said they family would be moved...

No kettle in the room, the porter told me tea and coffee was available 24/7, I don't know where as the tea / coffee machines in the restaurant were closed after breakfast if tea / coffee was required you had to go to one of the bars

No water given there is a fridge in the rooms, all inclusive water should be available. The reception team did give me a kettle and later cups to be able to have a cup of tea either in the morning or before bed

The pool bar near the childrens pool did not serve alcohol apart from beer and wine, if you are on holiday you would not leave children at the pool while going to the adults pool to get a drink

The information for the hotel said activities, I asked the guy who was in charge of this he seemed surprised, no water activities as the polo net had been broken but nothing put on instead

Lovely stay for a good price! Vangelis was very helpful and kind. The room was clean, modern and stylish. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay here at the hotel. The Spa team around Mikaela is awesome. If you catch a rainy day (or not) it‘s an absolute recommendation to get the full Cretan body massage - Aspasia and Ifigenia are awesome! 5/5 stars!

Spa experience with Aspasia was absolutely exceptional. From the moment the treatment began, she created such a calm and soothing atmosphere that I was able to completely switch off and relax

Aspasia clearly has a real talent for what she does. Her professionalism, care, and attention to detail made this one of the best treatments I’ve had

I took a "Sweet Love" package for my treatment option. Ifigenia, who executed the treatment, was very professional, friendly and clearly experienced at her job. Would heartily recommend the spa!

Location is good Rooms are nice but not sound insulated Really clean Employees are all really nice At the spa, we met Ifigenia and Aspasia for an extraordinary massage (both are incredible) Food is good and various

It was an amazing stay! 3 days of relaxation in a small quite hotel! The daily buffet was really tasty but the highlight of this hotel is the nice behaviour of the staff!

The service is at a good level, very friendly people at the reception. I hope to come here again or send my parents)

Amazing hotel! At first I was a bit worried about the bad weather but everything changed by my arrival! One of the most cleaned hotel with staff like family

Amazing staff really welcoming and friendly very upbeat and happy, good choice of food to pick from all inclusive drinks with wide range! Clean hotel overall atmosphere amazing very helpful with what things to do if stuck! Food served pretty much all day and of course drinks

The stay at the hotel was very relaxing. The food is healthy and tasty. The staff is attentive and very friendly. I had a deep tissue massage with Sofia, which was excellent

This hotel should be a 5 star, one of the best we’ve ever stayed in and will definitely be returning

room, beautifully designed and that seemed to be new, good, big bed, excelent bathroom with big towels and bathrobes, and a good view to the sea from the nice balcony

According to locals, the day before the hotel opened, Crete experienced an unprecedented weather phenomenon – a Saharan sandstorm that left unmistakable traces and completely undid the extensive cleaning work carried out beforehand at the hotel complex

Despite this unprecedented crisis situation, the ENTIRE staff welcomed the guests with a warm smile! That's truly a great achievement! A very special thank you goes to the both managers LIA and YANNIS, who so professionally, sovereignly and prudently navigated their team through this exceptional situation, ensuring guests a carefree and unrestricted stay! This achievement deserves the highest respect...

Yannis's singing was particularly impressive and surprising (singer and manager - what a rare and extraordinary professional combination!) We will definitely come back! Most warmest regards from Claudia and Sven!

The High Beach Resort is a very well-maintained and visually appealing hotel complex. We arrived on April 2nd, 2026, the official start of the season

Furthermore, there was a very well-equipped and very modern indoor fitness room. In the evenings, the bar offered a varied program of live music

I don't like to write too much, I'll just say this: I give the highest praise to the entire hotel staff!! With a plus for Gina and Luminita!! I know, I'm subjective, but we can't escape certain affinities!!

The internet drops off often. Shower head was cracked and water would just pour in

The only good part of staying here was their food, the kitchen staff were nice people, and I liked their pool area, but that’s it

I highly recommend staying at this hotel. They pay great attention to cleanliness, and the food is typically touristy but good. And then, something very important to me, the staff is really kind

I'm a little clumsy at times, but they were incredibly patient

Clearly the receptionist lied to us, which is not very nice if you ask me. Moreover, there was no shower gel in the bathroom (and from my experience, hotels usually give you little bottles of shower gel among others)

We enjoyed our week long break in this lovely, family-run hotel. Our room was modern and comfortable. Cleaning standards were high. Breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice

Eva was so helpful in explaining the bus services so we went to Rethymno and Ponormo which were both lovely! Breakfast at the hotel was really good and we ate a la carte at the restaurant most days, the food was lovely and fresh and we loved it at lunchtime for a break from the beach and the views are incredible

My husband was equally pleased that he could eat fish every night. Sfakaki is a good location for those who would rather stay in a real village than in an artificial resort

The breakfast buffet was the same every day, but there were plenty of options to choose from. The pool side bar had a good range of drinks and snack food options to buy

A lovely little hotel,well presented & clean. The food was good,both at breakfast & Dinner,not massive choices but adequate for us. Drinks were a little pricey,comparable with Rethymno in the old town

(I would suggest that anyone who is considering a stay at the Thalassi Hotel uses Google Street View to 'drive' through the village. That way, you'll know exactly what you're getting and whether Sfakaki is for you

Great location to all the best beaches and the Marina which is about 15/20 minute walk across the beach

Hotel centrally placed just off the main road. Restaurants close by, 5 mins walk. Best ones , turn left at hotel exit and walk up the hill. Lunchtime meals on the main road or overlooking the beach

Ours was 70 euros for 2 weeks. Monkey Bar does good Lunches for good prices as does Gorgon on the beach. There is a small supermarket opposite the hotel entrance. Small number of gift shops on the main street

You could order drinks and snacks from your sunbed using a QR code. Waiter Sudesh was particularly pleasant and also worked in the restaurant in the mornings. Breakfast was good and the selection changed every day

Please be aware of the 10 euros per day tourist tax, that was a shock [we only paid 2 euros a day in July visiting another Greek island, and it was a 4 star hotel] Would highly recommend The Atrion

Our room allocation made our stay perfect. We had a sea and pool view, lovely. There's plenty of storage too which we were pleased with [we don't travel lightly]! Nice balcony

The lifeguards were excellent though, really friendly, helpful and good when my son ripped open a scab on a slide! Food - this was a big one for us

There were other activities too such as Pilates - possibly the best view I’ve ever had doing Pilates! There could have been a bit more for teens, and it was a shame the games room wasn’t in the centre of the hotel but a bit further out, but that was only a tiny thing

We have recently come back from our stay on the 4th of October for 7 days. We were in 1514 Positive points Food was good including the buffet Greek and Italian

But we were pleasantly surprised! The food was really good, varied every day and most importantly for us they were very accommodating for a coeliac

All in all a nice hotel, good food and friendly staff

If you are looking to hire a car this can be done easily from the hotel for a reasonable price, but there are also a multitude of car / quad bike/scooter hire companies on the doorstep and bus connection is just outside the hotel
