Hotels with sea view in Crete

While this was useful for menus and events, we feel this could be integrated even more by being able to order food and drink through it, make bookings for the spa/restaurants directly, to make the whole experience even more seamless

The highlights of our stay really were Tina's yoga lessons and Petros' fitness courses. We also enjoyed a high quality massage. Surprisingly good for swimming and snorkeling was the private beach of the hotel

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

Due to the rocks (under water), plenty of fish can be seen. (But you should know where the underwater rocks are in case you are swimming in a rough sea. ) Staff was friendly and forthcoming

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

There is a municipal parking 1 min from the hotel with reasonable prices. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast with very big variety and good quality of products

The location is excellent, right next to the beach and many bars

The hotel is in a perfect location, within walking distance to the city of Agios Nikolaos and a number of beaches. It is situated in a quiet location but also very central

The staff doesn't seem familiar with the restaurant's rules. We had drinks included (1/4 wine and 1/2 water per person), and there were no problems with the water, but we had to ask for the promised 1/4 wine

Well located not far from the marina and the city center, this hotel seems to be surviving. The rooms are clean and the bedding is comfortable. In the bathroom, a tiny bathtub doubles as a shower

To secure your valuables in the room, you have to pay an additional €3. 50 per day and request a (huge) key from reception. A strange practice for a four-star hotel these days

Lovely hotel! Brilliant location right on seafront and close to town's restaurants and shops. Staff are so friendly - Pinelopi and Katerina on Reception were extremely kind

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

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!

What make their stay even more lovely was a very attentive staff - Penelope, Catarina, Mohamed, and special thanks to Andreas for his signature daiquiris!

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

Friendly and very helpful staff. Our sons shared a room in which the air conditioning was ineffective and it was very b hot. Altho we mentioned it to the staff, nothing was done to rectify the situation.

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

However to charge 42 euros for room safe is daylight robbery. However, my one niggle is the food. Dry tuna, rubbery steaks, limited starters, congealed sauces, my advice is to stick to the traditional Cretan food

We had a fantastic stay at Georgioupolis Beach Hotel and would happily return. We visited as a family on a half-board basis, and the food was a real highlight of our trip

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

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

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

awesome marvelous hotel! amazing views from early morning to sunset, beautiful seaside sitting area. excellent maintenance of the room, if you can, choose the rooms with the private pool (villa)

My sister and I traveled to Crete for an annual birthday trip. Neither of us had been to Greece before and Elounda Mare and Crete did not disappoint. I cannot say enough positive things about the resort

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

The beach is quite small and the shade of the umbrellas may be insufficient at times, but there is an area under the olive trees that I particularly loved. A few spots on the cliffs are simply spectacular

The location was amazing! It was an easy walk to the main pool (which we only used once since we had our own pool), the bar, breakfast restaurant and lobby area. My bathroom was 200+ square feet

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 location is also very good, right by the sea, opposite the beach is nice, there are two swimming pools in the hotel, the children had a lot of fun playing in the water

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

The rooms are lovely, very spacious, very modern, air conditioned and comfortable beds. We had a sea view room which was outstanding

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!

We enjoyed our stay here. The buffet breakfast and dinner were excellent. We are vegan and could always find healthy options. The staff are very professional and helpful. We also enjoyed the private beach.

Hotel Very close to the beach but there isn't much sand this side of hersonissos. As it's near the end of season many shops/restaurants are closing so it's a more quieter environment and not too rowdy

The only minuses in the room was that the shower (not sure if all rooms are like this) did not have a cover, so made it difficult to keep water from splashing all over

Very handy for the beach, shops and bars. Our room was quiet with a small balcony overlooking the pool. The shower was small but manageable. Staff on the most part were very welcoming and helpful

Very small pool but enough beds for this time of the season. This hotel is definitely not four star rating ( probably more like a 3 star) and doesn't look anything like the photos on the website

Lovely hotel staff were brilliant we have three of us that or disabled the three young lads were lovely they looked after us for the 10 days we were there food was OK pool was a bit small but overall it was nice would recommend it the young lady on reception was very good the moment we got there to the moment we left

loved the food, the location of the hotel was perfect. such a relaxed pool space never had problem getting a sunbed. overall loved our stay in Mari Kristen and would most definitley return , thank you Dave and Sandra

You can enjoy great cocktails until 1am, and no rubbish brands. It was really sad to leave, but this will definitely be our choice of place whenever we’re back in Crete!

Great hotel with some really nice touches. The hotels in great shape with super views from your balcony. The rooms are big with quality large bathrooms. The outside pool in a great size

An amazing stay! The place is well located, in a quiet area away from the busy town, but right across from a bus stop that can take you to Chania centre for €3

The hotel is something out of the “White Lotus” series; fantastic pools, right in front of the sea, great restaurants, and best of all; amazing staff. Everyone is sooooo friendly that you literally feel like hugging them

Feel rather disappointed that we were sold this holiday as a 5 star hotel never in this world is it!! I have been in better 4 star hotels than this

They went over and above providing me with ice daily for my foot, showing us the best wheelchair route to the sea, and so much more. They must have been exhausted end of season but never showed it

stayed in double sea front view room which was lovely, beds where comfy, breakfast was nice

We stayed here last year and when we needed another night in Chania before joining a trip it was the obvious place to come. As before, we were made very welcome at Reception as we arrived even later than we had said

Guest rooms were clean and exactly what they promised, the pool side breakfast and pool area was wonderful and quiet. The meeting space was perfect and the location was so convenient, we could walk everywhere

The staff really stood out- they were incredibly helpful with arranging taxis and even coordinated a medical appointment for me, explaining how the process worked. That level of care made a big difference

I had a wonderful stay here! The location is perfect- you can walk to many areas, and I only needed a taxi to and from the airport. The rooms were impressively quiet; I never heard my neighbors once

The room was a little small, and a 28-inch suitcase wouldn't open horizontally, but that's typical for European rooms. Fortunately, the bedding was comfortable and the room was quite spacious

- The childcare (Baby Club) was fantastic, nursery-quality and a bargain for the price involved. - Separate family-friendly and adults-only spaces worked well given the size of the resort

Amazing hotel in a great location. Beautiful and clean, nothing too much trouble. The staff were really helpful and the rooms well equipped with everything you need

All inclusive includes a fridge of drinks which are refilled each day including fizzy drinks, water and beer. Sunbeds were a little difficult to get around adult pools mid-September but not a major issue

But the "private beach" was very nice. The rooms were nice with a nice view on the sea, but were not cleaned every day

Every evening he brought us excellent drinks and was always so nice and friendly! The cats in the Hotel also were very friendly and nice! 🐱 The Jacuzzi was not heated, unfortunately, even though they said so

All food was presented impeccably, freshly prepared, presented & cooked. High standard of food presented was maintained throughout holiday. All staff were welcoming, very friendly & professional

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

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

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

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

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

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

PERFECT and we will definitely come back when visiting this beautiful corner of dream island Crete again 😍

During our first vacation at Alianthos, we noticed how well this hotel is managed. Many visits later our point of view rests unchanged. Friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble, in short, you feel welcome here

Restaurant Amalthea manages to deliver the best cuisine you could wish for, every year again. All credits to chef Sotiris, who presents refined, flavorful dishes that do NOT become boring after a while

A couple of nights per week they have traditional music from Crete and those that know the traditional dances lead the way. The staff is super helpful and the owners a beautiful family

It is with some sadness that we stayed at Alianthos for the last time as we have always known it. Major renovations, including a new building, are planned for this winter

This is a wonderfully ambitious project, through which the Vardakis family will take the spirit of Alianthos to an even higher level

The transfer is an opportunity to get to know the island in all her beauty. The warmest of greetings at reception is the start of a magical stay. Enjoy a cocktail at Nymphes, the Hotel bar, supplied by friendly staff

Our stay was wonderfully quiet and relaxing. The private swimming pool was amazing and the whole place felt peaceful. Both the room and shared spaces were very clean

The pools are inviting and the hotel is right on the beach. The town has loads of restaurants and shops

One word “PERFECT”. Would stay in your suites again and again if I had the opurtunity.

And about the staff… I could talk about the staff forever! Everyone are so nice, warm and always trying to make your day even better

Marika is right next to the beach which is amazing. What could be better than start your day with good breakfast and ocean view

Nice rooms, super clean, modern, friendly staff, good food, good beach. We had to change hotel from our first, as the standard was so bad, more a getto. Big thanks hotel Marika for helping us

We had a wonderful stay! The view of the Cretan Sea was absolutely stunning, and our room was very clean and comfortable. The pools were beautiful and refreshing, a perfect way to relax

We had a lovely luxury room (522), with a seating area, which was frontline and had a wonderful view of the sea; this did however also mean it was frontline to the very busy road

Room was very clean and spacious. The facilities are modern and the pool overlooking the sea is amazing with stunning views

We had dinner at the bar on two nights and truly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The location was also ideal—very close to Chania Airport and just a short trip to the Old Harbor Town. Would definitely stay here again!

Early April it was pretty quiet both at the hotel and in the area, which was nice. Service at the hotel was very friendly and helpful! Food at the restaurant was extremely good, highly recommend trying the a la carte

When we arrived we were met at the entrance and helped with our bags then given two bottles of cold water whilst we waited to be checked in; we were then briefly shown around and taken to our room

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)

We loved the beach which is just at the back of our hotel. No complaints other than there was no evening entertainment but I am guessing it was because we went end of season

Hey we had a great time. My daughter has coeliac disease. So gluten free. The chefs and catering staff did so much fir her. Everyday they made her fresh food. I will come back next year. I miss so much. Cold here.

Special call-outs to George, Kalimera and Stella on the front desk with their welcoming smiles (and thanks to Stella for the late checkout), to Karim and Hassan in the restaurant who we very much enjoyed chats with every mealtime ("Shukran!"), to George the live-grill chef who was always so friendly (and a great singer), despite having been working long hours, and the effervescent, vibrant Hope in...

The only things I would question is having one person behind the main bar and some times no glasses ( disposable plastic cups) error no and a two drink limit ( Not good if your a family of 4 , join the queue again !! Bar staff and restaurant staff are amazing and work their backsides off to please,entertainment of some sorts nearly everynight , everywhere spotless , great beach ( shame you have to...

The staff was very welcoming and helpful The breakfast was quite tasty and fresh The price also I find quite cheap for 5 nights that we stayed Overall very nice hotel, with nice rooms and location Would recommend

The room also had a fridge/safe Our shower was v powerful and toiletries are provided along with slippers and hairdryer. If I was to return to Chania I would definitely stay in this hotel again

The hotel maintains its Cretan charm and pride with modern and well-maintained amenities and excellent service from all the staff. I look forward to my return!

A hotel right in the centre of everything, yet the location is rather quiet. Very clean hotel and very accommodating staff. A definite recommendation.

1) This is very nice and new hotel. Bathroom shower, everything is perfect. 3) if I could rate the whole hotel, will give 6 stars

Nice staff, great breakfast which you can enjoy outside and nice confortable rooms

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 🤙🏼

Several pools, lots of bars, included in AI, in General, for tourists who are not competing for the highest class of service is quite good. The sea is really close, although it is the second line

The location was very nice, just a few steps away from the sea, where there is a nice beach. There was also a pub at the beach to get drinks and snacks: very relaxing. The Hotel was very well cared for, and very clean

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)

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

A lot to chose from, nice environment, and people helping you to your table, sometimes with time to spare for a little joke. The reception was not consistent. Some were more friendly and helpful than others

We had a room on the second floor with a balcony which had a partial sea and mountain view. It was a quiet hotel, you couldn’t hear any noise from adjoining rooms such as the tv etc

We loved the pool area with the beds and seating. Sometimes it could be chilly depending on the direction of the wind but we never struggled with a space to chase the sun

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, such a relaxing peaceful hotel. Our room was clean with a lovely welcome bottle of wine, some fruit and two bottles of water - of which we had every day

We partook in a few cocktails which were lovely and sometimes we had complementary nuts or crisps. We didn’t use the spa, although the ladies do come around and introduce themselves

There were always girls serving tables are amazingly hard working, making sure you have topped up tea, coffee and orange juice on a morning and ordering your drinks for the night

There were always different dishes and we were spoilt on the Sunday morning with smoked salmon and caviar with Champagne if you wanted it

The rooms are great and spacious for the cost read more below Service is thorough and give you everything you need on the get go such as eating times, WiFi etc There is plenty of activities such as pool, table tennis, karaoke and bar and a pool eith free toys like a beach ball The only downside i can think of for the actual hotel is that the toilet seat in our room wouldn't ever stay up Also the wifi...

Thalia is an amazing host! She gives the best advice helps with everything you need nothing is too small she goes out of her way to help and make you feel accommodated really recommend this hotel

Very friendly hotel ideal for the family with entertainment and good food all the staff were very friendly and the beach is a 30 second walk away ilia’s very friendly

Great atmosphere and feel very welcomed to their hotel and cleaners were very friendly and excellent service provided by them daily

The staff were extremely friendly and made you feel like family and were very hospitable

Food was always excellent and had a great variety for all guests with excellent taste and quality. Great location near everything you need for your stay
