Hotels with beach in Crete

The restaurants near the hotel had a huge variety of different foods & they were all great. However, none of that would stop me coming back to this little gem of a hotel, situated right on the beach in Agia Marina

Food in the restaurant is not something to write home about, but if you are on the beach, lazy to dress and go literally 2 small blocks to the main street, this restaurant is very helpful

it was on the ground floor, no steps or stairs. We had a room with disability access. Neither of us have great mobility. The room was cleaned every day, fresh towels every day too

Myself & my partner sent a fabulous 10 days at the Elia Marina Hotel. Firstly the staff, every single one of them was so friendly & helpful. They always had a smile to greet you

The room itself was spacious & very clean. Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of choice & some lovely surprises some mornings eg pavlova, spring rolls

yum The only thing that I think let the hotel down was the menu in the restaurant. I didnt think the selection or variety of food was great

The Adele Beach Hotel is ideally located with a 25 minutes bus (number 20) journey/ride away from the nearest historic town of Rethimno which literally has something to offer everyone but just remember to purchase bus tickets in advance from all local stores and shops at 2 euro per trip

The Adele Beach Hotel is centrally located near to the main high road with numerous bars, ATM's, supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants and activity venues along with a pharmacy, hire car centres and a medical centre

would we stay at the Adele Beach Hotel again in the future. 100% yes! If you're toying with the idea to visit Crete in 2026 then seriously consider reviewing their website and book your accommodation asap

The hotel is set back and away from the main road so there are no noise or pollution issues. As for the Adele Beach Hotel itself. WOW! The hotel is shown as 4 star and they certainly deserve that rating

From the moment we arrived - staff were truly professional, smartly dressed, approachable, friendly, informative, accommodating, ready to assist and help to exceed all levels of customer service to ensure every single guests stay expectation were met

During our stay in Oct there was no evening entertainment at the hotel but there is an idyllic evening bar where guests played board games and playing cards to be utilised at your leisure

Beautiful small hotel and lovely staff By the roadside we had a sea view which was lovely rooms at the back can hear the traffic Enough beds for guests not always enough space outside for breakfast though Pebbly beach so take beach shoes Location great to walk into the old town Can walk this in 15 mins Hundreds of shops bars restaurants so we visited every evening and got a taxi back for about 6...

Although we were not guests of the hotel, Panos welcomed us with such kindness and hospitality. By ordering drinks, we were allowed to use the wonderful sunbeds on the beach

The rooms were always clean and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay

I called the hotel, and they immediately found it and arranged a taxi delivery to the airport — truly excellent service. I’m very grateful and would definitely recommend this hotel to others

The most impressive part was their quick response when I realized — already on the way to the airport — that I had left my phone in the room

A very cozy and pleasant hotel. It’s located about a 20-minute walk from the Old Town, which makes it easy to explore the city on foot

Decent sized pools, could be abit bigger though. The actual location is not the best, its just okay. Kinda on the outskirts from the city centre. The actual beach is also not really a beach

Its pretty terrible as its not a beach with proper normal sand. You'd imagine a resort with the name "beach" would include a better beach experience, but it is what it is

This hotel had a great location right next to the beach. We only had a few metres to walk to take a swim in the sea, and it was easy to travel to and from with public transport

Very high quality food in the buffet. Nice pools with plenty of free beds. Bus to chania stops right outside dor 2. Not safe to cross the road for kids! But that's not the hotels fault

We spent 7 days at Santa Helena beach in 2024, 13/7–20/7. The hotel is very clean, architecture is nice and we had a 2 room ground floor apartment with a terrace to the pool area and evening sun

Good and free sun beds both at the pool at the beach (if you buy from the bar which is easy) The restaurant has a good variation of easier snacks, excellent pizza and burritos and good dinner dishes

We had one of our best holidays here, the pool area overlooking the beach is just beautiful, with an infinity pool that was really quiet throughout our stay. Sunset from the restaurant was out of this world

We had a wonderful stay here! The location is absolutely fantastic—just a few minutes’ walk to a beautiful beach, and the hotel itself is right on the ocean, so the views and atmosphere are amazing

The receptionist was fantastic—friendly, helpful, and always welcoming. There’s also a pool on the property. It was decent, but we barely used it because the ocean was so close

The private beach is much nicer than the photos, perfect for snorkelling, the two pools are great and all the amenities kept in great condition. It’s probably the best hotel anywhere near this price, fully recommend!

Garden and hotel grounds: Beautiful garden, grounds were maintained and cleaned every day. Beach towels provided free of charge. Location is great, just a few minutes away from Chania and some great sandy beaches

We arrived end of season with a baby and child. The weather was amazing (some days a little windy)- but due to the hotels great location we could walk to the beach within 3-4 mins or take the bus to Chania

This may be attributed to several factors, including its limited room capacity, direct beach access (though not a private beach, with a daily fee of 6 EUR for a couple), and its proximity to the higher-priced regions of Rethimnon and Chania

The hotel itself is commendable, particularly its restaurant, and the service throughout the premises was consistently prompt. A recommendation would be to update the guest room towels

The location offers convenient access to the major cities and popular attractions such as Preveli Beach, Elafonissi Beach, and Balos Beach

Nice place, nice staff, great beach but boring Restaurant

During our recent stay in Crete, we experienced three distinct hotels, including two five-star establishments and one four-star, the Orpheas Resort

My mother had a smaller, more modern room, which she enjoyed. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The beach is beautiful and the garden as well

Thank you Silver Beach for hosting and taking care of us!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing holiday here! From the moment we arrived until the very last day, everything was perfect

The food was also fantastic – with delicious Aegean dishes and a very wide selection of vegetarian options, there was always something fresh and tasty to enjoy

The reception, restaurant, bar, and housekeeping staff were always so kind, helpful, and smiling – they truly made us feel welcome

The complex has several buildings with a few rooms each, so you don't feel crowded. The sea view rooms are right on the beach, those on the ground floor don't even need to use the door to get to

The hotel is new, modern, and very practical, while at the same time surrounded by beautiful nature

Great hotel a few meters away from the beach. Verry clean, nice rooms, and friendly staff, especially the chefs. The food was exceptional (breakfast and dinner)

If you are looking for relaxation, rejuvenation, a clean and quiet environment and above all very, very kind people, this is the ideal place. They treated us like family, and we can't wait to go back next summer.

Everything was perfect ! From the bar to the buffet, including cleaning service and reception. The staff is smiling and pleasant no matter the time or location of the hotel. I honestly have nothing to complain about.

The reception girls were absolute stars!A huge thanks to them for making our stay so comfortable. The whole staff was lovely—always smiling, greeting everyone, and checking in on us 🫶

The hotel, just steps from the sea, charmed us with its cozy vibe and exceptional service. From the very first minute, we felt welcomed and very comfortable

The beach in front of the hotel is a pebble beach, bring shoes for swimming. It is certainly not the most beautiful beach in Crete, but free deckchairs and parasols provided by the hotel are available

I recomend Ledra Maleme hotel!! Nice, modern and friendly hotel. God food and a nice pool. Private beach 200 meters from the hotel. Quiet and peaceful, but short distance to Platanias sentrum.

It was spotlessly clean, perfectly located just 5 mins from the beach, supermarket and local restaurants, the room was modern and beds comfortable and clean

Nice Pool. Quite. Natur around Hotel. 5min walk to the beach.

Greek style and perfect place!Everything at this hotel was lovely. Such a beautiful,quiet and clean place to stay with your friends and family. We really enjoyed our stay and the owners are lovely people

Spacious rooms for the whole family, nice pool, walking distance to beach. Nice to have a kitchenette to prepare breakfast. Busses to Platanias for lots of restaurants.

After many years of resorts we decided to go on a smaller place for a more quiet experience. Our choice was excelent! We found a very nice, quiet and clean hotel with very nice people

We opened the door a little to listen to the ocean but that let in some mosquitoes. Breakfast was very good, and could be enjoyed outside overlooking he beach

The staff were very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. On asking when I had to vacate the room I was told that as I had a problem with my car I could leave everything I the room until it was resolved

Lovely large room with balcony and sea view. Our room was clean and tidy with a large comfy bed, air con, fridge, hairdryer, towels, robes, slippers and toiletries in the bathroom

The room was clean, bed was comfortable and there was 2 sachets of coffee and 2 of milk. Bathroom was clean and towels were provided

Breakfast was included in the price and very good. Close to shops, restaurants and beach. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay

Good communication with hotel for organising parking and a later checkout on our last day. Parking at the hotel was close by. Check in was smooth and all staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful

The crew is very nice, the rooms are clean, The shower is nice and the bed is very comfortable. If you are 3 in 1 room the sofa is okayish. Just a lovely place by the beach

My friends and I stayed here for a week at the very end of the season and had the most fantastic time. The rooms were nice and clean, the staff were super friendly and great fun too

The food in the restaurant was delicious and we absolutely loved the rooftop bar. Elounda is the most fabulous place to visit, full of charm and friendly people

This hotel is right in the heart of it all, a wonderful place to stay

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at this beautiful hotel we booked here as attending a family wedding nearby , staff couldn’t do enough for you. Couldn’t fault anything about this hotel

We had a jet 2 week holiday at this lovely hotel. We had a superior grove room, which was well equipped and spacious but lacking in a view. I think the main building has the better views, but much smaller rooms

The hotel is right next to the beach and within easy walking distance of local restaurants and bars. It’s also only about a 7-minute drive to Lake Kournas, which is well worth a visit

From the moment we arrived at Georgioupolis Beach Hotel, I felt instantly at home. We had Dinner and drinks at the rooftop lounge which was amazing

There are lots of facilities to enjoy, including a good-sized swimming pool, a gym, and extras like a pool table, bike hire, a hot tub, and a sauna—so there’s always something to do. The location is another big plus

It has a beautiful outside heated pool with super comfy sun loungers (which was perfect for us in April) , a beautiful spa, rooftop jacuzzi, gym area and rooftop bar. I 100 percent recommend this hotel

The service throughout the hotel was consistently friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference to our overall experience. We stayed in a poolside room, which was very convenient and comfortable

Overall, a great hotel with excellent food, friendly staff, and a perfect location

its "Acai Berry Bowl") every day, calling the service from the beach lounger's call button. Both breakfast buffet and dinner buffet were nice. (The dinner buffet repeated after 1 week, but we stayed only 8 nights

If you do not like the music at the main pool, you can use the other (quiet) pool or the beach loungers further from the pool bar. We enjoyed the pool bar service (e

We went for a quiet holiday, choosing this adults only hotel as it was situated by the beach on what seemed (and was) a quiet spot on this south coast of Crete

We were also extremely lucky with the weather: 22° water and 26° air temperature in the first week of November; so we did not do a lot of sightseeing, but rather enjoyed the snorkeling, swimming, fitness courses and yoga lessons

And the flax seed ran out three days before the end of the season (and was not filled up again). The door knob in our room was not properly working, so we could not lock the front door from inside

Compared to Tenerife, this was less expensive and equally enjoyable. Overall, the hotel is a great place to get away from the busy world and relax

Very close by there is a small port where you can rent a boat or take a ride on a motorboat. In the town, you can rent a car or enjoy a train ride around the surroundings. The hotel also offers free bicycles

Beautiful boutique hotel in a peaceful seafront location in the centre of Platanais. Excellent service, all the staff from housekeeping, landscaping, bar & restaurant always had a smile & greeted you with Hello

The hotel exceeded all expectations: it is located right by the sea, with a beautiful pool, an amazing view from the window, clean, and tastefully decorated

We stayed for a week in September 2025 in a 2 apartments, both with sea view which was a real bonus, a 2 bed and a 1 bed. Thank you to everyone at Blue Dome, we had a wonderful time

Just a five-minute walk from the hotel there is a local boulevard with a huge number of restaurants, a grocery store, and an excellent butcher’s shop

Location is great, it’s calm yet just minutes away from shops, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, mini golf…. Chania is less than a half hour drive (but difficult to park)

Food was awesome once again and the hotel itself very clean and spacious on a lovely Sandy beach with great snorkelling and water activities around. Definitely going back and my family loved it and want to go back too

We had a room on the 4th floor accross the road from the beach but had a nice sea view. The room was large and we had a fridge, kettle and cooking facilities even though we were all inclusive

We stayed at the iolida beach for a week, there was two adults & a 10 year old! All in all we had a fab break! The hotel is split in two halves connected by a bridge over the main road! Our room needed abit of updating & tlc however it was absolutely spotless as is the rest of the hotel! The pools are clean & well maintained there were no issues with getting sunbeds! Location of hotel is good, 17 euros...

There are 2 pools and even though there are signs everywhere saying you cannot reserve loungers some people chose to ignore this and staff didn't remove their towels

We never had a problem getting a lounger though on our side of the hotel, the beach side pool was always over crowded with no free loungers. You have to pay for sun loungers on the beach though

The local area did not have any bars open with music or entertainment either so we played yahtzee whilst sat in the bar. There are 2 tvs in the rooms but no English channels so no good for us to watch

Towels were changed daily, sometimes twice, which felt excessive compared to most eco policies. Dressing gowns were a little rough for a hotel of this level

This is a beautiful resort run by a fanatic, friendly team of people. A gentle 5 minute walk down the hill to Plaka Beach. Full of lovely little places to eat and drink

Also, the bright fire exit sign in the room could disturb light sleepers. The beach bar and included sunbeds are a fantastic touch. The hotel felt peaceful and relaxing despite being full

Location in is amazing set in the hills so the views are incredible, we booked a room with pool, but point to note £60euros per day to heat it, which was a bit disappointing, however the room was large and very comfortable, the bedroom is separated by a partition so there is a lot of lights at night from security lights

Secondly think it’s also due to this wind that the pools are very cold. I actually don’t mind a cool pool, but during our stay there were a few days where I just couldn’t face going in

There is a free shuttle service to a private section of the beach which is pebble but it us decked and really comfy bed and full bar service

Excellent location right on the beach in the centre of the resort but wasn't noisy. Staff were very helpful, friendly and hard working

The wonderful breakfast they serve in the morning really sets you up for a day exploring this lovely part of Crete. In the coming days the hotel taverna right on the beach will also be open as the weather hots up

We were visiting Plakias for the first time, our requirements were simple, a hotel close to the beach, a clean room with a sea view and a comfortable bed. The Alianthos delivered all this and more

I've just returned from a wonderful stay at the Alianthos Beach Hotel/Anthos Apartments. I have visited this family run hotel a number of times over the past 15 years and it never disappoints

Great hotel in Plakias Great stay in the middle of Plakias beach. Very comfortable, nice sea view, great breakfast - all very good.

With recent renovations including the seaside restaurant right by the wonderful Plakias beach it just gets even better

Really really good food for good prices! nice service and the location is top! We were here in the Restaurant and the beach lounges (not in the hotel) and it is so nice and food is super delicious!! Would give 10 stars if i could

The hotel provide sunbeds for an extra fee, which we maybe were not expecting but it was totally fair and worth it. The breakfast buffet is simple but filling

That being said about the restaurant, the breakfast at the hotel doesn't have a lot of variation, and most food tastes like nothing. The location is right in front of the beach, and close to the strip

The beaches are better if you walk a bit further, but the view from the hotel is pretty great

When we first arrived, the service was phenomenal. We were early, and were provided luggage storage until the room was cleaned. We were also provided som breakfast

We have frequently been walking over to the "pub street". It's super loud and busy, so it's great to stay on the more quiet side

Super destination, beautiful garden, very nice and profesional personal. Beach is very close to the hotel and the food is really good. It was one the best holidays me and my family was on. Thank you

We were surprised when they gave us a room in a building above an Italian restaurant, some 30 m far from the E75 highway (Chania - Rethymno). We couldn't even guess this building was a part of the hotel

Maria from reception), a beautiful beach just beside the hotel, tasty food, a jeep safari, and trips to near towns and places of interest (from the bus stop a couple of steps from the hotel) nearly healed us from our traumatic experience

Close to the beach, room are very clean. Pros: clean rooms, great food, nice setting, close to the beach. Restaurant personel are very professional. Private beach with free umbrellas and beach chair

Nice staff,especially at the restaurant.The food is diversified so you never get tired of it.

Wonderful place, nice hotel, professional staff.

Gorgeous property right in the beach with a nice pool and bar, rooms are spacious with great balconies. Highly recommend!

There is a sandy swimming beach a few meters from the hotel. Beautiful clean swimming pool in the hotel area which faces the sea. Tula was amazing organising a taxi transfer for us to and from the airport

Honestly I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to appreciate the beauty of Malia. We love our walking so everything was easily accessible by foot either along the beach or the back roads

Without doubt the best Hotel we have ever stayed at. From the location to the facilities everything was perfect. The owners Manos and Tula helped by their lovely children couldn’t do enough for us

Away from all the party places , yet still in walking distance if we wanted the night life and the huge selection of amazing restaurants. We had a constant view of the sea

She was so helpful in recommending authentic Greek restaurants. The bar area at the hotel ended every night perfectly with a great selection of night cap drinks
