Hotels with beach in Crete

Hotel is very good, clean and staff is great, very kind. Rooms are clean and tidy! Breakfast is great, we loved it! Location is perfect, you have the beach right in front of the hotel, and others are close by foot too

Great hotel, really nice owners. Enjoyed it a lot! I would recommend it to everyone who loves chilling near the beach and having calm holiday. I was there for 5 days and I had a beautiful view from my balcony.

As 2* hotel Zorbas was perfect for trip aruond Crete. We stayed for sleeping and breakfast. Our room was cleaned everyday, fresh towels also. Breakfast and service was very good

We will come back:) location also good, 50m til the sea, good street, you will find everything you need - from food til fun. Other beaches also not very far away

Cheap and clean. If you need to save money and be near of two beaches in the same time, this is the place. It's in front of the beach! Wonderful landscape! The apartments are simple but the people are nice.

Very nice hotel, near the beach and walking area. Rooms are clean, hotel stuff is very peacefull, communication on English is good. I would recommend this holel if you want be near the beach

Amazing half term holiday in October 2025. I highly recommend The Star Beach Village Hotel, we’ve had a super relaxing week

I was too late to check in for lunch, so I can't comment. Lots of pools, beautiful beach. I booked the scrub massage and armpit waxing. Perfect! The staff is very friendly; nothing is too much trouble

Beach is lovely, sand and big rocks to walk on. Did a safari club jeep experience which was highlight of the holiday. Rooms a little noisy when people are coming back from bar but nothing too crazy

As parents with picky kids, we really liked the lunch and dinner buffets, but we also visited the snack bars frequently. You could easily walk between your hotelroom, the different pools, the snack bars and the ocean

It’s the little touches that make a BIG difference. The only thing that I’d mention to anyone visiting is if you find stairs hard, make sure that you make that clear when booking, as there are no lifts to the rooms

This was the first flight and holiday abroad for my kids, and we would love to visit you again. I even had the time to read the book I’ve packed… Thank you, hope to visit you again! Annelie from Stockholm, Sweden

The hotel is great! The food is good, everything is very clean, and the staff are friendly. The spa area is also highly recommended. I had a back and neck massage with Chrysa and it was fantastic

So overall its definetly 5/5 for me, although there is one thing i really have to add here as it really surprised me at such a nice hotel: The loudness of the shows in the evening

I had 2 massages at Aegeo spas. Kallia gives very good massages in a beautiful atmosphere.

Excellent service and care with a delighfully relaxing experience. Breakfast and the evening meal buffet options were the perfect bookends to each day.

is absolutely irresponsible and dangerous, especially as there is always kids in the front row. Musicians would have been really good but because it was so loud, it wasnt really enjoyable

She knew exactly what she was doing and it was very pleasant

On the minuses, gym is quite old, and was lacking such simple things as towels, water and yoga mats, whether it was always like that or because of Covid, difficult to say but they should do some real improvements there

Breakfast was decent, while dinner offered a wider selection and was quite tasty. The beach itself was not very convenient,there were many corals, which made entering the water uncomfortable

Beautiful hotel, staff were friendly and professional. Food was great, location nice and quiet, easily accessible. We hired a car but not essential. Rooms were clean. Overall wonderful stay!!

Made a pedicure with the lady named Boso who was super sweet and made me feel like a princess for an hour. I loved the ambiance, her professionalism and the calm and relaxed atmosphere of the place

Due to the wind, we lost several days and had to use the pool instead, which was very crowded during that time. The hotel had its own parking

We are holidaying in this glorious part of Crete in this glorious hotel. The location right on the beach is superb. Staff are so helpful and genuinely friendly. Lunch at pool bars very good too

We were offered another hotel for the 1st night however we didn’t accept and decided to stay with my daughter. The staff were extremely apologetic and agreed on our departure we could keep our room on till 6pm

Can be tricky securing sunloungers by the pool areas and the nighttime entertainment can be a bit noisy if staying near the amphitheatre. The beach is clean and super accessible

Thank you for amazing vacation here! Place, beach, service throughout the resort absolutely perfect, professional, rooms and toilets everywhere in the area absolutely clean! We CAN recommend, our dream vacation came true right here

I was pleasantly surprised!! We all had a great time and will be back, We were a family of four, young children, and the room was cozy! I imagine with older children it would be cramped

Food was ok and plenty of choice. Ordering drinks from the main bar in the evening was a task and we could be waiting up to 40 mins as only 2-3 staff making drinks

Food selection was good and tasty with different themed nights. Breakfast got a bit boring by day 6, lots of choice just the same every day

The room (we've got upgrate to Family Superior Sea view, duplex) was clean and fresh. 🤌 Staff was friendly and helpful 🧡 Plus, there are a few new bars and a new ropftop pool

Everything was 10/10 Thank you Porto greco and see you next time 🌞

Porto Greco Village was a good and clean hotel with many possibilities and friendly staff. Located on the side of Hersonissos and no noice in our room, maybe also because I think the rooms werre not fully booked

We had the all-inclusive formule: food was very diverted, only bad is that warm food was not really warm, what many times is a problem with all-inclusive formula's

The only issue we had was that the mini fridge and the wine fridge didn’t work, but we just got on with it, and towards the end of our holiday the air con in the bedroom just stopped working? Either way this was fine because the living room one worked fine so we just left the bedroom door open to let it cool the bedroom down, although we would have preferred it had worked

The only options we had to drink were (from memory) your basic soft drinks, a small selection of juices (apple and orange) and the alcohol was mainly vodka and rum, with a couple of cocktails, which was ok for my boyfriend but I’m not a big rum or vodka drinker, so I stuck with apple juice

Through my travel agency business I politely asked for upgraded rooms and we were not disappointed. We were given 3 rooms at the front of the pool, which were without a doubt the best rooms in the hotel

Wonderful stay spotlessly clean , room beautiful staff friendly the vip night was brilliant and loved the food in filema, plenty of sunbeds at the hotel and the waterpark, loved the free sunbeds on the beach opposite, ⛱️ this is my second visit to stella village and yes I would return thankyou to all the staff who all work so hard

We’ve just returned from an incredible stay at Stella Village and I honestly couldn’t fault this hotel from start to finish

Loved the cocktails, well made and some of them very strong Lots of sunbeds to be had at most times of the day, including the beach area, people tended to adhere to the “no reservation” rule

Hotel is well situated, we went out twice during our stay for food around the small town. Beach across from the hotel is good, pretty clean and really shallow, kids loved snorkeling as lots of fish

The hotel itself was spotless throughout, and every member of staff we encountered was beyond helpful and genuinely friendly. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and the service really stood out

There are several pool areas and a beach side sunbathing Terrace with a nice but expensive pool bar. On balance, this being the end of the season, the whole place felt very tired and cleaning standards were not good

The buffet breakfast and evening buffet meal in the main restaurant were very good as were the other restaurants. The staff were excellent and went out of their way to make out stay enjoyable

This is a lovely hotel built in the style of a Greek village going down a hill to the sea. Our room was modern with a lovely sea view

Great buffet breakfast with plenty of choice the alternative restaurants where an affordable treat with an extensive wine list offering both local and regional mainland options

Clean room and nice quiet room, all staff excellent and inviting, sea was warm, pools could have been warmer. The views from the property were very calming.

Great Base to Explore Elounda area Lovely staff Location of hotel very scenic A La Carte restaurants were excellent

And finally, all of the staff (receptionists, waitresses, cleaners…) were so kind, attentive, and accommodating, and they made us feel welcome and safe

The hotel area is beautiful and quiet, and the breakfast and dinner were excellent with a variety of local dishes in addition to more generic choices

The breakfast buffet was outstanding, the staff at all locations in the hotel were very friendly and welcoming

Literally the best hotel experience ever!!

Clean room, excellent staff, great spa

The hotel is in a great location, 19 minutes from the airport. The bathroom was small for our family of four. The buffet restaurant was average, and the food was pretty much the same every day

And as some have commented it gets very busy and noisy as the beach is small (but lovely) so really the pool is where everyone is. Breakfast buffet was brilliant. The shop and ice cream parlour and Kafe also great

It’s a very family orientated hotel. Pool area is ok although sun loungers get reserved very early so be quick! Ditto down by the beach. Pools are very cold but to be expected in October

The guys at the receptions were stars! :) The ladies in the Kids Club, the staff at the reception, the people in the restaurants, the cleaning ladies, the Golf Car drivers (I hope I remembered them all) - everyone were so nice and helpful! We want to come back! THANK YOU!

The pool and the beautiful sea are very close together, and you have a free choice between different pools, the sea with a beach and the sea with steps

I also want specifically to mention and thank the personnel. Despite we were in the end of the season, they were still so enthusiastic, so helpful, so polite and so simply nice after all these months of hard work

There is a pool bar, a Gelateria, a mini market, a tavern, a great kids' club and much more – the full range of amenities, but without that typical club atmosphere that we don't particularly like

But for some reason, this hotel charges a 10-euro deposit when you give out towels, which you get back when you return them. Bottled drinking water is only provided upon check-in; they don't refresh it after that

Great location, near to the beach, center and bus stop. The room was good but there was no daylight during the day (economic room). It has been cleaned every day

Towels are changed every other day

They took care of everything – from upgrading our rooms, recommending excellent restaurants, and assisting us with every request we had. Their warmth, kindness, and personal attention truly made us feel at home

Our stay at Kahlua Boutique was absolutely perfect! The location is unbeatable – just 10 meters from the sea, offering stunning views and the sound of the waves right at your doorstep

Our rooms had a breathtaking sea view, were clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed every moment. A very special thanks to *Maria* and *Athena* , who made our holiday unforgettable

Fabulous week at the Filion Suites Resort and Spa. The location is stunning and Bali Beach is certainly breathtaking

Our stay at Filion Suites Resort & Spa was absolutely wonderful! The hotel is located in a beautiful, peaceful area with breathtaking views of the mountains — a perfect place to relax and unwind away from the crowds

A big thanks to Regina and her reception team who were always helpful with everything we needed. The staff at the restaurant, bar and the cleaning staff were all friendly, welcoming and efficient

We definitely feel like this place is our second home, and we are already planning to return next year! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful and welcoming experience

The service was outstanding—every staff member was incredibly kind, helpful, and always smiling. They really go above and beyond to take care of the guests

Every evening, there were fun activities in the hotel, adding to the lively atmosphere. The hotel was spotless, and cleanliness was clearly a priority

If you prefer the beaches outside the resort, there are beautiful beaches that you can visit. Apart from the restaurant area, where we noticed certain things, the rest of the person was very helpful and kind

The hotel boasts a stunning location, blending naturally into the surrounding mountains right on the seashore. Relaxing by the pool, you can enjoy the surf

Three pools offer plenty of choice, along with a picturesque beach and stunning views

Shallow beaches in beautiful bays and other interesting places to visit are a 10-15-minute drive away

The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, offering a selection of traditional Greek dishes, as well as fish and several meat options daily, delicious desserts, a selection of salads, and several types of cheese

The pools are very nice although some of the sunbeds need an upgrade I’ve not had an issue to find one. The little cove beach is beautiful and really handy right there

The best hotel in Rethymnon. Very spacious and nice rooms, clean and tidy. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. Third time we are staying here. The private beach is also great.

Had a great massage & facial at the Meldody Spa. Kindly helped by Nicol, Alex and Christina. I would definitely recommend it!

We have just returned from an excellent stay at Ikones Seafront Luxury Suites. The location of the hotel was fantastic being right in front of the beach

Everything was perfect!!! From the location, services, staff, food, amenities, private beach, EVERYTHING!!!! Every night at the bar was another show (live music, dj),

The staff were all wonderful with a high level of service. Nothing was too much trouble for them to make our stay a good one. Food in the buffet restaurant was excellent and there was variety and choice in abundance

The long flat promenade was ideal for my wife who has some mobility issues as she was able to walk easily with her rollator. Our room was very comfortable and well appointed with modern fixtures and fittings

It was gorgeous—spacious, comfortable, and came with a heated private pool overlooking the most beautiful bay with crystal-clear water. Waking up to that view every morning felt unreal

Lovely sandy beach with a grassy shore and plenty of well-maintained sunbeds. We enjoyed sunbathing and swimming there every day. However the dining options were very poor

Excellent suite (a beachfront junior suite with private pool). It was spacious and well-furnished, with a sitting are inside and table and chairs and loungers outside

Everywhere you look, it’s just beautiful—sparkling water, immaculate grounds, and such a calm atmosphere. Overall, we had the best time at Elounda Peninsula. It really is a little slice of paradise

We spent so much time in the pool, it was just perfect. Our girls also loved the kids club. The team there were brilliant—super kind, fun, and full of great activities each day

We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend for families looking for a luxurious, chilled, and memorable holiday in Crete!

Wonderful stay at Kassavetis Center! We had a great experience during our stay at Kassavetis Center. The location is perfect — close to everything you need, from the beach to shops and restaurants

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is perfectly located, with the beach and everything you might need just a short walk away. The sea view from our room was absolutely stunning

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the facilities were well-maintained. A special thanks to the reception team, who were always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help with anything we needed

I stayed at the hotel for 7 nights during last year and booked a city view room. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with a stunning view of the city square

Their hospitality truly made a difference in our trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hersonissos!

evererything was good like always.perfect location and nice people

What can I say Wow what a great holiday my husband and I had , from the management to the chambermaids we were made so welcome nothing was too much for the staff specially John and Maria , we will be coming back 100% Miss Lou and Keith

Really good food in the evening. Every wednesday really good live music with a choice of fresh fish or steak (you also can choose from the menue if you like). Breakfast ok but room to improvement

The hosts are really nice, friendly and made a good Service. Air condition costs extra but it is ok if you need it. Location near by the sea and also a Pool and a nice taverne at the hotel

Near by many tavernes and shopping locations. We dont need more than we had and had a really nice vacation at this hotel :) big thank you to everybody that make it a great vacation for us

What an amazing experience! The super kind staff made us feel like kings . It was our home away from home for the last week. Looking forward to come back in September

Amazing location. Food and drinks were excellent...Guest oriented and polite staff! I would definitely recommend it. See you soon!

I had to write a review for this amazing hotel! I had 5 days here with my grown up daughter. Everything was amazing! If you can, book the pool rooms…what a treat! The gym was well kitted out and not too busy

The overall cleanliness throughout the property was also great. Rooms, public areas, and even the pool spaces were spotless and clearly well cared for (the beach could do with a little maintenance)

The staff are all super friendly, and do all they can to make your stay memorable. We stayed half board in a room with a private pool and terrace

The taxi back was €10 so good value. Defo take cash as some restaurants wouldn’t take card. We would definitely return to this fabulous place

I loved the interaction with staff and other guests at breakfast and dinner. Food was varied and of good quality

We recently stayed at this hotel as part of a family holiday, in which we shared many of the same observations as others, but our main call out is that our overall impression was hindered, and this very much came down to the moment we checked out

The gentleman who runs the bar is also very welcoming. Beach towels are provided and there is no charge for sun loungers

We are just back from a week’s stay. The decor is modern and stylish, especially the bar, pool and restaurant area which is at the top of the hotel with views over the beach. The rooms are very nice and spacious

Toiletries and towels are provided. There is a lovely central courtyard where movies of your choice can be projected in the evening. Breakfast is varied with all the usual options and more

The service is really slow, you can wait up to an hour for your food but just order then go back to your sunbed ! They will bring it to you on your sunbed if you want

If you want to eat out, there are lots of restaurants within walking distance and the surrounding area is buzzy. We had booked another nearby hotel, owned by the same company

As it was nearing the end of the season we were upgraded to the Atermono. Couldn’t be happier with the service

The location of the accommodation was perfect for us, just a few minutes from the beach and a few minutes in the opposite direction for restaurants bars and clubs

I went there at the start of October, which is right about when the season ends so it was very nice and quiet. We've got a welcome drink which was a nice touch and we've gotten help with our bags as well

Great location, 50 metres from beach. I would like to give thanks to all the staff here, but a special thank you goes to the manageress Victoria. She was a great help with anything we needed

The location of the hotel was also perfect, as there are shops and places to eat at nearby. A nice sandy beach is just two minutes down the road from the hotel

The hotel also serves food, I've had their souvlaki and they were very good. The only minor issue was the slow WiFi. If I was to be in Malia again I'd stay there again, highly recommend

The poolside is nice with plenty of sunloungers and the poolside was also illuminated at night which created a nice and quiet atmosphere
