Hotels with sea view in Crete

No parking was available when we arrived, had to find parking in the very busy streets. A lot of night life happening right infront on the boulevard. The view over the sea was amazing

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

Best location for sea lovers! Room with sea view. A bit noisy at night from the restaurants below. Spa is really great, had a massage with Nikos, suoer kind and knws what he's doing; it was amazing

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

From the moment i arrived at the Palmera Spa Hotel, i knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation, modern comfort wrapped in a serene, welcoming setting

Great facility, prefer to go into the sea with bathing shoes

An absolutely relaxing experience! The atmosphere was peaceful, the staff was incredibly friendly (Full Body and Face Massage and Mask done by Pantelis), and everything was spotless.

All the staff are welcoming, friendly, and work hard to be sure you have a relaxing holiday. The rooms and facilities are super clean, the food is fresh and varied

I had my massage with Maria and it was amazing I had the Cretan massage which is whole body and a face massage and it was very nice gentle and relaxing

We had a lovely experience it was amazing very beatifull hotel and all workers was really friendly we had a really good massage from aegio spa drom maria and leonidas it was the best and we had an amazing volleyball with liam everything was perfect food great and sea view room also thank you very muchh

The Crete massage here was 5*, very good and the physiotherapist was very well informed and provided a very good service at a reasonable price

Georgia at the hotel bar, made me feel equally welcome The room was perfect! Overlooking the sea. Just wonderful Facilities, perfect! Used the gym, and spa. Both pools great with superb views

Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the sea, was my favourite place every morning. Location, perfect! In the middle of Stalis, I ran minimum of 4 miles very every morning

The staff here are friendly and accommodating and went out of their way to ensure that our large group were always seated together in the dining room

Caught the public bus (3 min walk from hotel) to Heraklion. Had to speak with the general manager before I left, expressing my gratitude to the team. Only one issue, I wish I found this place sooner! See you in 2026

Bus stop 29 is a a 5 min walk from the hotel and takes you to Héraklion for only 4 Euro per person! Ignore the review that says no direct access to the beach from the hotel (unless you require step free access)

This was my first solo holiday. A single 50 something female, wanting a hotel that was big enough for me to blend, yet small enough for staff to care! I was anxious when I first arrived

What really stood out was the incredible service from all the staff. They were so kind and helpful throughout our stay. The pool food staff were particularly great, handling a special food order for us with a smile

We had a wonderful time at the resort. We enjoyed the spa. The food was very good. We enjoyed the community cats also. We will be back. Nick was a very big help to us throughout our entire stay.

Food, staff, rooms and all facilities are great. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The swim-up was fantastic, quiet most of the time and waiter service to pool side was unexpected but appreciated

We stayed for a week in a suite with a private pool and loved it. The staff were excellent to a fault, especially the bar staff - couldn't rate them high enough

One thing I will mention is that there are planes flying low overhead every hour so more during the day so if you’re looking for a super peaceful escape this may not be the one

The food was much better than your average all inclusive resort, especially the Veranda for breakfast (courtesy of our room) and Abrazo Mexican

You absolutely must book this hotel for the unforgettable panorama and the exceptionally friendly staff, who truly go above and beyond to make your stay fantastic! We stayed in a Panorama Blue room, which also gave us access to the bar and the second swimming pool

The hotel had a lovely relaxed feel to it and meal times were all the better for this. The food was of a high quality and varied through the week we stayed. The quality and variety of meat dishes in particular was noted

We traveled in October, so it was relatively quiet. The breakfast was excellent, and dinner was buffet-style. Not everything was perfect, but there was plenty of choice

We would happily stay here again and recommend this hotel to those considering the Chania area

We didn't use the spa or the bar

There's a convenient bus connection to Chania from the hotel, and the value for money is definitely recommended!

Just got bk frm staying at the blue sea beach hotel with our friends. Fantastic holiday frm start to finish. The staff were Amazing couldn't do enough for you. They were all so friendly and made our stay so enjoyable

Wacko the entertainment Guy(Crete David ) was our knick name for him worked so hard keeping everyone entertained day and night with different activities. He was so funny along with the bar staff who joined in with us

Just come back from 10 days staying here, lovely hotel brilliantly placed facing sea, the food was amazing and catered to all countries, while we was there it was mainly Germans and Latvians but we didn’t have any issues about it, everyone was friendly enough

When i booked this hotel it was because weve never been to Crete but id heard of Stalis so decided to try it and wasn’t disappointed, the only thing i would say is before you book check if your actually in hotel grounds or in the annexe, because if your in the annexe its about 100 yards up the road from the main hotel

Some rooms have pools that you pay extra for but please be aware if you pay for 1 the hotel should be opposite way round because the sun hits the door going into the room and doesn’t really hit the pools to warm them enough to use

We stayed in an annexe building ( alil away from the hotel) which is fine, only slight disadvantage was having to walking to the main hotel for the facilities( didn’t spoil our holiday tho) Would definitely return again

We spent 5 days in the Rethymno Palace as a couple, our teenage daughter and 4 of her friends. It's a nice hotel with indoor and outdoor pool and direct access to beach and sea

We booked a massage in the Spa with the very friendly spa manager Hasmik. I got a really relaxing massage from the masseur Stefanos who was able to give me advice for my back problem

Food is very different, so everyone can get something to eat, but every day breakfast is the same, some different meals at lunch and some days supper was with fishes. At pool after 11 o clock you need to pay for a drinks

This hotel has everything you need for a great relaxing vacation. I had two massages there, and I’ve never been more relaxed thanks to Stefanos and Hosmik

Fantastic stay at an extremely friendly and professionally run hotel right on the beach. The rooms are spruce, bright and well maintained. We had a view right over the pool and palm trees

The room was very spacious and clean, the grounds are beautiful, the beach has stones but you get used to it quickly. Overall, a vacation I didn’t expect to be this good, especially since it was my first time in Greece

Breakfast was excellent in quality and choice. The view from room 427 was amazing. The beach is stunning sandy and safe. In the middle of October we spent our days swimming in the sea

We didn’t use the pools due to the wonderful beach and loungers. The hotel gym was excellent for a solid workout, rowing,step and running machines together with a balanced and safe selection of loose and fixed weights

There are excellent restaurants in the area, roots and Sirrocos being particular favourites. A bus takes you into the old town of chania for 2 euros and it is a 20 euro taxi journey back

Had a great honeymoon stay at the resort. They treated us well and we had an amazing upgraded room. The hotel is very nice and the all inclusive option is nice. Their drinks are good and the food isn’t bad

Very comfortable hotel in excellent position. Lots of restaurants nearby and bus outside every 15 minutes to Chania. Hotel provided fruit, bottle of wine and biscuits in the room.

This is the perfect hotel if you’re looking for peace and relaxation, as it’s very calm and not lively. We took a taxi into Chania a couple of times, it’s a beautiful place and definitely worth visiting

Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the sea with a touch of luxury

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

Unique and vastly expansive property. It was so large that there was a whole other pool and another beach we didn’t even discover until the night before our last day

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

There’s also a seaside village not far from the resort with amazing restaurants and shopping. We walked to it and took a taxi back. The taxi ride back was only 10 Euros

Just excellent. We went here with our 1 year son, Big Baby. Nice aquapark and good view over sea. Also very nice food.

At the end of August, my wife and I organized a wedding in Crete. We accommodated all our guests in the Horizon hotel, which was a hit. The reception staff were very helpful, the cleaning team was thorough

The food optios are great and the food is always fresh, the chef is there to assist with allergies or food intolarences. Upon request early breakfast and lunch basket is available

If we ate outside the hotel, The gentleman who worked at the entrance by the gate gave us some good options to choose from. I would def stay again and do recommend it

My daughter and I had such a good experience with this hotel. The staff was spot on and the food was wonderful. The view from my balcony was gorgeous

Great view from the room, super friendly staff from reeption through husekeeping till the restaurnt staff everyone was very kind and helpful

The hotel is in a perfect location next to lots of shops, the beach and lots of restaurants! Will definitely be retuning again in the future!

Beautiful hotel, right in the city center. I had a suite, but unfortunately, the room’s hygiene was disappointing. The air conditioning blew out strange dust clouds — it turned out to be extremely dirty (see photo)

The location is great too being only a 5 minute walk from most busy restaurants at the seafront

In addition, the shower seals were full of mold, so I didn’t shower. The room faced a derelict building, which also came with a terrible sewage-like smell

The music in the day was not too loud which was great and almost sunbeds were in sunlight most of the day too which was great for October! The pool was always very clean and not too busy even though the hotel was fully booked, and rarely had reserved sunbeds too

The Pool facilities were excellent as well, you got two cards for pool towels at the hotel, members of staff coming around asking if you wanted drinks etc or you could go to the bar if you wanted too and they would bring you them to your sun loungers

A big positive was the beautifully clean sea. I would not return to the hotel

We have struggled a bit with the cleaning service coming when our children had their afternoon sleep. But other than that we have had a great time. Food was delicious, every day there was something we liked

the highest praise for the pirates animation team, our twins enjoyed their time. Sea is wonderful, but quite cold in the second half of June. all in all a wonderful experience

Lots of activities for children, every day animation programs from various travel agencies who never asked if you have travelled with them or someone else

I went all inclusive and glad I did as it is a bit isolated ( 15 mins by bus to Irapetra for 2 Euros ) , I enjoyed the food so much that I had no urge to leave and try another place , the variety quality and was excellent , great salad bar and proper Greek main courses

Inclusive drinks - quality spirits good known brands , wines passable , beer not great , Mythos would have been nice. My room , facing inland , was very spacious and there was very little traffic noise at night

Not only are there 2 pools, but also a sea down the street. You can ride jetskis in the sea. There's also a bar, an 8-ball place and a lot of shops nearby from this hotel

The only problem that I had an issue with is that the drinks after ordering took a long time to come. But I understand that the staff is always extremely busy (just giving some feedback)

I really love this place! I like the food from the buffet, you can choose what to eat in the morning or in the evening. The rooms are a little small for my liking though

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

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

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

Our room had a nice view to the main swimming pool, with the sea in the background. We received a complimentary wine bottle at checkin. There was always nice live music playing somewhere every evening

Since not everything is perfect, towards the end of our stay, the room next door got occupied and I could hear them being intimate, so thin the walls are! The cleaning lady filled the shower gel container with water, and did not refill the lotion

I am very satisfied with the service. Ctrip's customer service is also very professional. Thank you very much.

Good overall, well managed but has some are Good overall. We stayed in an imperial room on the beach side of the hotel. Very good facilities overall, but some of the rooms need to be updated and soundproofed

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at. They have for sure the nicest staff ever. So accommodating. Great food the breakfast buffet is so so good. Definitely will come back and recommend highly.

The resort grounds are very beautiful! The beach area is nicely kept, from there you can see breathtaking sunrises & sunsets

There were plenty of sunbeds available on the beach and by the pool. You could find a spot at any time. 4 meters deep, and the entrance into the sea is gradual, so you can walk in barefoot without needing water shoes

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

Hotel is great, food is amazing, staff is very kind and helpful. Pool is great and sea is clean and many free sunbeds with umbrellas. Drinks at bars are good and strong. Only downside for me are kids

To be honest, it’s not - it overlooks a car park with the mountains behind however we didn’t pay extra for this and could’ve paid extra if we wanted a sea view

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

The beach side infrastructure is very good and this was our favourite spot for most of our stay. Of special note is the spa, which has been newly renovated and has a clean, relaxing vibe

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

We had a large balcony facing the sea and it was really nice in the evenings when the temperature got milder. The room was all in all clean

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

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

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 was pleasantly surprised by the very reasonable prices, especially given the prime location and the quality of service. It’s one of those rare places that balances charm and convenience perfectly

Wonderful Stay by the Beach! 🏖️ I had a truly lovely experience at this property. The location is unbeatable—right by the beach in a quiet, peaceful, and exceptionally clean area

His hospitality and many tips made the stay feel warm and personal. The room itself was fresh, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable

Peaceful location on a beautiful sandy beach, just off the busy main road. Agia Marina is a few miles west of Hania with frequent buses

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway—and I’ll definitely be returning! 🌅

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

From the beautiful location, excellent restaurants (the breakfast buffet is delicious), plentiful amenities and most importantly the wonderful personnel, this place is a must if you are staying near Rethymno, Crete

We stayed at Caramel last week and can only praise the hotel. The accommodation was fantastic. We stayed in a bungalow with private pool

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…

Beautifully designed hotel with amazing lagoon shaped saltwater pool in the center. Village-like plan but very upscale. Wonderful gardening, perfect maintenance and squeaky clean. Great service by real professionals

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

The sea, although within walking distance on the steps or the road, is very beautiful, take slippers, there are pebbles and slabs

Beautiful resort! Great staff, amenities and food options. Beach was a quick walk away. Would definitely go back!

Everything was lovely, pool bar staff was very friendly and there are a few resident cats to pet that roam freely.

“An unforgettable stay at this 5-star hotel in Crete! 🌅 The sea view was breathtaking, making every morning feel special. 🏖️ The food was outstanding – diverse, fresh, and full of authentic flavors

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

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

Senseana Sea Side Resort My partner and I, and our ten month old son, Jaxon, have just spent 10 nights at Senseana. We stayed in room 1614 ( standard double with jacuzzi)

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

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

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

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
