Hotels with beach in Crete

Special mention to Michaela who welcomed us at our arrival, showed us all the place and gave us some tips; to Leandros who took care of our concerns, to Valentina and Claudia in the swimming pool and Eleni, Chara and Eva for the special evenings at the Buddha Bar, great team! Hopefully we will come back

The best and most luxurious hotel we’ve ever stayed at! We truly felt at home. everyone was so kind and dedicated. The food was of exceptional quality, and the entire experience was amazing

The rooms are spotless but more attention to refilling teas coffee and replacement of towels would be better than the little treats left

The hotel is great, but the service is amazing. The water are good and the beach is great, food is good but use the menu instead of the open buffet, it had great things like pesto pasta and grilled meat

A very smart hotel with excellent sea views and a lovely main swimming pool. You can have room with its own jacuzzi and garden, or one with a plunge pool or a share infinity pool

The bath by the bed and open plan wash basin is a bit odd, and if you do feel like having a bath, it would take an absolute age to fill

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

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

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 cool elevator had Greek music while you are inside! Pleasant relaxing smell in the lobby lounge made me feel like home and always welcomed. To the beach was 3 minutes walk

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

The pebble beach at the end of the road is ideal for a swim then you can use the sunbeds of the beach bar at no charge. Make sure you take your beach shoes

Lovely, clean villa of a complex in a very convenient location — within walking distance of the local beach and just a short drive from Kissamos restaurants and nightlife, Chania, and the world-famous beaches of Falassarna, Elafonissi, and Balos (reachable by boat)

A shared pool is available if you prefer to relax away from the seaside. The property is starting to show its age and would benefit from some light renovations, ideally done soon to prevent future issues

Excellent hotel with an excellent location in the west part of Crete, very quiet and near a lovely beach. It is modern, very clean, comfortable and very pretty as well. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Armela

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Azure Beach in Crete, and it was truly an unforgettable experience

What a superb place to stay, right from the start we received a lovely welcome from Aramela who quickly sent us her what’s app address and sent links to recommendations of restaurants, supermarkets and beaches that were so useful

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

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

Every single staff member, whether they worked behind the desk or cleaned or worked in the restaurant or the kids club etc greeted us with a smile and had a chat etc and showed a lot of patience towards our children

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

Plenty of indoor and outdoor space - you never feel like you’re on top of other guests. The whole hotel is spotlessly clean indoor and outdoor. I did read another review which said the Mountain View isn’t great

3 pools and less than 100 sunbeds for the whole of the hotel which supposably has well over 100 rooms, only 1 bottle of water on arrival rest of the time buy your own, the hotel water tasted as though it had purification tablets in, food very hit and miss one night my sister and myself had fish in a sauce, both of which were not cooked in the middle, taken away by a very reluctant manager

Friendly staff, rooms very were clean, service very good. On departure day they allowed us to keep the room with no extra charge. They have bar at the beach which you can use in your inclusive, welcoming

Certainly not a 5* hotel, the bar at the hotel was round the pool, so sat on plastic chairs at night, staff working there not very friendly, the beach bar was fabulous and Mike is a lovely chap who certainly knows how to run a bar and make good drinks

Been here one day good service,nice food ,in central location 100 yards from the beach can't complain for the price we have paid

It was very quiet when we went, so no waiting for food/ drinks at any point. Know Bar by the beach was great. Location is good; short drive from airport - 25 mins, just a one minute walk down to the beach

Beach was good - a short sand bit, but then it was like a huge stone slab - great for snorkelling. Plenty of shops/ restaurants within a short walk

The hotel's location is wonderful: two excellent beaches: pebbles on the left and sand on the right

Beautiful sea views and sunrise Wonderful room with perfect sea views and spectacular sunrise. 25 minute walk into the main town (Agios Nikolaos) and lovely taverna close to the hotel and on the beach

Beach near the hotel was perfect. We hope to go back next year!

Went in October and there were lots of sunbeds available around the pools

The point that we didn’t like that much was the bathroom in our room, a little bit small with a small cabin shower, no individual hygiene products such as shampoo or bathing gel and there was no much attention to the fact of refilling the products available

Facilities: A bit dated Cleanliness: Okay Environment: Beautiful with blue skies and white clouds Service: A bit slow, but generally friendly. Mostly white people, no discrimination against those with yellow skin.

The beach area is rather lovely and designed to be safe for children - shallow, gently shelving sand - you have to go out a long way to get out of tour depth. Staff are friendly and well trained

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.

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

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

It is impossible to get away from Piped Pop Muzak ! - not just in the hotel bars and restaurants but outside too and even at the beach. This is also true of most bars and tavernas in the area

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

This hotel is casual and that’s good but When we where here our neighbors were drinking vodka whiskey and smoking so we couldn’t swim in our private pool the service is not good and the rooms are small but the beaches and spa are normal

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

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

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

Amazing Spa facilities with great view! The Spa personnel and manager are very friendly and professional. The treatments I did were absolutely incredible. The environment is relaxing and inspiring

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

We recently stayed for 14 nights and really liked the hotel. We didn't use the beach or pool so cannot comment on that

We had room 402 which was lovely and spacious for the two of us with a nice size balcony and bathroom. There is a safe at a cost of €4 a day and AC which was free

Brilliant hotel, stayed here 7 nights and no complaints whatsoever! Brilliant view, room was clean and staff were very friendly. Great location with lots of shops around within walking distance

We stayed in room 513 and the housemaid is a super sweet and warm and lovely lady, please send my greetings to her again and Kevin the young waiter in the restaurant by this message😄

Thank you for giving us such a big room with a balcony. We had a late flight home and the hotel still let us to use the pool and a shower room after we have checked out

Rarely writing reviews but this hotel is the best! I can tell, od course, just from my experience! Best hotel ever! It justifies every single money spent on it

The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and offer breathtaking views of the sea, especially during sunset. Every detail, from the comfortable beds to the high-end amenities, was thoughtfully curated for maximum comfort

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

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

The hotel itself is beautifully designed, combining modern luxury with traditional Cretan touches that create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere

Property was visually beautiful. Lots of nice pools and great views. We were switched into a different room “equivalent” than what was booked. Need to have a car rented or you will be stuck in the property

Value for the money was not there

Amazing, very family friendly resort, sparkling clean, very friendly staff, amazing food, mini club, animation team-all was great. Rooms of a great size, special thanks to our cleaner

The food options are great, and as a vegan I had a number of options every meal which is different to usual holiday locations

We’ve stayed with own pool and it was of a great size, very private, we could relax by the pool while our baby slept inside

A great hotel for families A great hotel, with lots of activities and entertainment for kids both big and small

The new and old buildings mean there's plenty of space for everyone and you can always find a sunbed

Stayed for all inclusive family holiday. Initially thought lunch starting at 1pm was a little late for family with small children but we got used to it soon

My parents came from Azerbaijan for one week vacation here and absolutely loved it: nice and clean hotel, access to the beautiful beach, a beach bag with toiletries

Great room overlooking the beach, breakfast was very good, pool area was nice, Sparkling Spa was great

Welcome drink on arrival and a voucher for a free drink at the bar also. Pool area is relaxed and there are loungers on beach and round the pool so best of both options. Rooms are clean and comfortable

Sunbeds are also not available at the pool on most mornings despite the pool not opening until 9am the sunbeds are all occupied well before that time

We stayed here for only a few nights on our honeymoon and we were very happy with how clean and friendly the staff was! We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to everyone!

We arrived very late and went to the sister property where we waited half an hour only to learn we were at the wrong place - so be cautious as they have three adjacent properties

We visited the beach bar and chairs and loved them but really found the chairs on the rocks on the edge of the ocean were our shangri-la! We ate at all of the resorts restaurants as well as several of the sister resorts, all easily accessible by the resort's shuttle boat and the food was scrumptious at every one of them

Private beach is peaceful, with a fun bar area. Thomas and crew will get you favorite cocktail and some finger foods

The atmosphere at each restaurant is completely different, as is the menu, so be sure to venture out and try them all! The staff went over the top to accommodate every request, leaving us special gifts and treats in our rooms

The champagne breakfast started every day out right! The breakfast buffet was the best I have every experienced anywhere in the world. The variety allowed us to not be bored in the 11 days we indulged in the offerings

Our rooms were cleaned multiple times daily, including an evening turn down service. Our pool was spotless and the water was pleasantly refreshing. The pictures of this resort and the rooms truly do not do it justice

Everything was a gorgeous marble, floors and walls alike. The closets were so elaborate and beautifully appointed my sister took pictures of how they were laid out as she was getting ready to do a remodel of hers

Great spot if you plan on taking a ferry to santorini, its a 20 minute walk. Breakfast was nice here. Only downside was paper thin walls on the first floor, youll be able to hear your neighbors if they are loud!

The hotel I booked included two meals, the taste was great, very satisfied. The fee for one more child is 48 euros. It is reasonable according to its facilities, I hope to have the opportunity to go there again next time

Wonderful hotel in good location. Just a short walk to the old town for shopping, dinning, etc.

It was about a 5-minute taxi ride from the bus station, we could use the beach in front, and our room was spacious and open, so we were able to relax

Great pool bar, there were even inflatables in the pool for the kids to use. The staff here are all absolutely lovely, they are so friendly and helpful. They can’t do enough for you and always with a smile

The staff were absolutely brilliant. So helpful and friendly. Room was so comfy, lush decor and really relaxing. Food was gorgeous. All fantastic and really reasonable, affordable price. Thank you!

The staff was nice and helpful, the rooms were beautifully cleaned every day, the food was very very tasty. Overall, the hotel was clean, the pools were clean, the sunbeds were washed regularly, as were the sidewalks

We took our water shoes, but in the end they were not needed, as the beach was just clean sand, nothing else. A shop with groceries and other things right next to the resort if not part of it

The beach with the sea right across the road from the resort, so it was a great location! The sea was beautiful, clean and the beach was also the cleanest I have ever seen

We spent 8 days (7 nights) at the Astir Beach Hotel and it was the best and most beautiful vacation I have ever had! It left strong memories and feelings in me

Beachfront property with 3 pools , restaurant with full all you can ask for, breakfast and comfortable rooms. Although we were here October swimmers were enjoying the facilities.

Since the all-day animation programs were full of various activities and a different special program every evening, we didn't have time to go see much anywhere else, it was so delicious and fun

The location of the hotel is very good, and the room you booked has a sea view as soon as you open the door, and the beach is just a few steps away

Ioannes, who was so kind, devoted and made our stay very warm! ❤️😘🙏

The hotel also provided fresh towels to use at the beach The restaurant buffet was great. The kitchen staff were very chatty and helpful as well

Breakfast was exceptional. Sorry we stayed here only for one night

Nice premium bungalows with plenty of space for 3 persons. Nice beach with free sunbeds and good service if you want to order drinks and snacks. All the staff were friendly and helpful

The food is lovely and fresh, the pool was incredible and the beach and sea beautiful. We were walking distance to different restaurants and shops, and it was easy to go to Knossos too. A fantastic stay! Thank you!

It was amazing, from the beginning we arrived until we checked out, everything was beyond exceptional. The staff was always very polite. The hotel is very modern and has everything you need for a good stay.

The services were excellent, from well-kept facilities to smooth, hassle-free arrangements throughout my stay. Everything felt thoughtfully managed and designed for comfort

I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is very convenient, close to Heraklion city and near many other places to visit

The team goes above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable and well cared for. Overall, NEMA Design Hotel & Spa provided the perfect blend of relaxation, comfort, and outstanding service

My experience at NEMA was 10/10, so much so, I’ve already booked again for next year having had such an amazing stay. Every member of staff from the reception, to the dining room, to the domestic were exemplary

The hotel’s design and facilities are truly impressive, creating a comfortable and stylish environment throughout the property. What really stood out was the exceptional service

This was my third stay at Eliros Mare, and yet again it reminded me why I keep coming back: it is one of those rare places where you immediately feel at home while still enjoying the benefits of a beautifully run beachfront resort

We had a great experience: the hotel is very well located in front of the beach, facilities are great, the staff is extremely helpful and the food was very good. Highly recommend.

They create a warm and relaxed atmosphere that feels naturally hospitable rather than staged. The cleanliness of both the rooms and the public areas is impeccable, and the beach is maintained with great care

The food, greek and international, was great at all occasions (don't miss out the traditional greek dinner you can have at the beach bar). Only, during dinner the restaurant could be a bit crowded, loud

The location is absolutely stunning — directly on the long sandy beach of Georgioupolis, with crystal-clear waters and enough space for everyone to relax comfortably

I once again chose a beachfront room, because nothing compares to stepping outside and being only a few steps from the sea. The view is truly breathtaking, especially at sunrise

The hotel itself is very clean, with good size pools and plenty of sunbeds (with a strict "no reserving sunbeds" policy). It's perfectly located next to the beach which again, was very quiet at this time of year

Be prepared to pay extra for sunbeds on the beach, although we didn't bother - the sand was perfectly comfortable

If there's any room for improvement, I'd suggest that the hotel invest in some decent, brand name soft drinks - the cola on offer, for instance, wasn't great

Very beautiful furniture and the bed was really comfortable. The bath had great design! Everything wa really clean!! Anybody we met in the hotel, was really willing to help us!

We stayed at this hotel in the penultimate week of the season so had the benefit of great weather at a quieter time

The hotel is located a good 30/45 min walk from the main hustle and bustle of Malia with very little nearby (although a nearby restaurant by the port and Eva Taverna are worth venturing out to, both only 10/15 min walk)

Hotel beach is a short 2 min walk from entrance of hotel payment for sunbeds at 10 euros each but bar and snacks very accessible from the hotel beach bar. Alchol menu is vast lots of cocktails to choose from

Hiii! This May i went to the Cactus Beach Hotel in Stalis, Greece with two of my best friends

Room was modern clean and bed comfortable ( lacking storage) housekeeping was every day and towels changed every 2nd day. No kettles in room but there was a hair dryer

We had the best time there!! The resort is beautiful, the food was so nice and all the people were so nice and helpfull! The Pink Wave animation team was the best!! We had the best time with them and we did a lot of fun activities, Thank you very much to Nas, Lynn, Samuele, Gabriel, Lina and Alessia! We will definitely be back! Greetings from, Ilse, Tess and Nadine 🤙🏼

The Spa, actually belonging to the Cactus Royal hotel but also on our terrain, was excellent, I had a massage from Anja, she was great! What really was lovely was that the people from Cactus beach knew so many languages

We arrived late at night where we were greeted by polite reception staff. We were given a bagguet each as we had missed the evening meal water was provided in our room (this was not replenished during our stay)
