4 star hotels in Ierapetra

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. 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...

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. 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...

Petra Mare is a very good place for a relaxing family holiday. The food quality is above average, and although it’s prepared in small batches (which sometimes means a short wait), everything is fresh and tasty. The dessert bar is a bit limited, but the salad and side dish options are very good. The restaurant is well organized — there are always available tables, and the staff are friendly, polite...

We had a wonderful stay there. Everything was perfect! The beautiful location by the sea offered fantastic swimming pools for both children and adults. The food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was amazing, and the kids' room provided engaging activities every day. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!

A true gem! Petra Mare is an absolute treasure. Its location is simply breathtaking, right by the sea, making you feel surrounded by the beauty of the water. The rooms are spotless, perfectly maintained, and very comfortable. The buffet is outstanding, offering a wide variety of options to suit every taste. The pools are wonderful, especially the infinity pool at sunset – it is truly magical. If you...

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Petra Mare and the hotel met our expectations. We travelled as a couple without children and appreciated the separate dining area for adults only. We didn’t join the animation programs, but the animators were friendly and not pushy. Beach & Pool The beach is right in front of the hotel, sandy with a gradual entrance to the sea. Most of the time sunbeds were available...

After a 3.5 hour bus ride from the airport arriving late pm, the last drop, we were so looking forward to getting to the hotel. The greeting from an older lady at reception couldn’t have been more unwelcoming, rude with not even a hello or a smile. They left us some food out which was awful, the room also had no balcony, we booked this hotel as it stated every room had one. We spoke to the receptionist...

Beautiful hotel almost on the beach. Very clean rooms, perfect service. We prefer adult friendly hotels, so this hotel is the right match. Excellent food every day, great program (aqua gym, games, karaoke, culture evening etc.). And last but not least: the best personel ever, nice people doing perfectly their job.

Staff at this hotel made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Fruit plater in room and Bottle of wine.Dorian n the restaurant was fantastic nothing too much bother. Always smiling and so good at her job. Stavros in the bar very attentive. Entertainment duo worked very hard. We were in a party of 12 and had a fantastic time also got engaged on karaoke night so such a memorable holiday. Did...

We went on holiday with my friend looking for pure relaxation and an easy, peaceful stay. We mainly chose this hotel because of its location right by the beach and it really delivered. From the moment we arrived, everything matched our expectations, a beautiful clean beach just a few steps away, super friendly staff and amazing, varied food. Every day there were plenty of options meat, vegetarian...

I stayed at the beginning of September with my parents for a week in this beautiful and comfortable hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. Our room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and very clean. We were given a room with a front balcony, even though we had originally booked one with a side sea view. I had read beforehand that these rooms might be noisy, so I was quite curious...

The hotel was excellent, fantastic staff and food wonderful ..better than many of the surrounding restaurants. Plentiful and as an adults only hotel free from fast food. No complaints at all. Rooms clean and the ladies who serviced them friendly and efficient. The reception staff were multi lingual and a fountain of information. We loved sitting on the terrace outside in the evening. I made good use...

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. 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...

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. It had two nice swimming pools and plenty of loungers around the pools and on the beach. It was booked as a British Airways package holiday, and notably came with a discount but also during this end of season period complimentary half board...

We thought that from every perspective, this hotel provided an excellent service, in a quite remote location, and that the staff team made every effort, all of the time, for our comfort. The food was excellent, the facilities in the spa and gym were first rate (Petros was very helpful and supportive, and the masseuse was top class) and the bar staff looked after you at the pool side in a every way...

Stunning hotel! Beautiful views and great service. The best pool area we have ever had. Good variety of food. Some live music in the evenings would be a nice touch. A very relaxing week in a secluded spot…it’s at least one and a half hours from the airport.

If TA allowed 2 separate reviews I would do a 1 star review for management and a 5 star review for hotel and staff. Here’s why…. The 5 star bit…. The hotel is beautiful - set on a lovely stony beach. There are plenty of comfortable sunbeds and lots of places to sit and have a drink or just relax. The rooms are good although I wouldn’t recommend paying extra for a room with terrace as ours was nothing...

Beautiful adult only resort with 2 swimming pools. And beach access. The rooms are very nice with a spacious patio. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is decent but is mostly buffet only unless you choice to eat at the upscale restaurant. Which you need to turn in your selections the night before Ierapetra is a $10 euro cab ride with many wonderful restaurants.

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. This I really appreciated. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and there was 2 sachets of coffee and 2 of milk. Also a bottle of water. Bathroom was clean and towels were provided. Breakfast was...

we were a family of 4 (2 teens). We had breakfast buffet each morning. The hotel is steps away from the beach. The sea view we had was gorgeous . Lots of stores and shops within walking distance. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful. we have stayed here each time we have come to ierapetra and will return

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. 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. Breakfast was included...

Beautiful spot on the boardwalk! Close to everything in the city. Breakfast was included and it was delicious. I would highly recommend and would stay here again.

We were greted and made to feel at home. We were upgraded to a suite and it was very spacious and comfortable with amazing views. Breakfast was excellent taken right beside the sea. Lerapetra had everything including quiet beach, wonderful old town ans limitless places to eat fantastic cretian delicacies.

Hotel is in a good central position, with the rear of the hotel overlooking the sea, as does the restaurant, which was nice at breakfast. Room was basic, but we were only there one night so was adequate for our needs. Good shower. Very nice buffet breakfast with choice of hot and cold food. Staff friendly. Private car park available.

🌴 Review I had a wonderful stay at Sunshine Crete Beach & Village. The location is perfect — right by the sea, with a beautiful view and easy beach access. The pools are large, clean, and great for relaxing. The hotel staff were very friendly, polite, and always ready to help, which made the experience even better. The breakfast was enjoyable, with enough variety to start the day well. Booking through...

Very nice hotel, old but well kept. The staff is wonderful and always smiling, and the rooms on the ground floor with a garden are a paradise for children. 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. Greetings from Serbia.

We really enjoyed our holidays at the Sunshine Crete Beach Hotel. We have stayed in a semi-separate apartment out of the main building. It was clean and quiet. We asked for a sea-view room but we could barely see the sea as it was mostly hidden by other buildings which was not so big issue at the end as we did not spend much time in the room anyway. The catering was also great in the main restaurant...

An amazing two weeks at this wonderful hotel. Everything was excellent - the room, food, staff. They welcomed us at 4am and were so kind and helpful, it was a great start after a long journey with young children. The hotel is just lovely, with so many facilities. Everything for kids was perfect and the food was delicious with plenty of choice. Even if you don’t have children, there’s plenty to enjoy...

Me and my family we have a great time in Sunshine Crete Beach. The staff was amazing from the reception desk to the animation team. The team deserve a 5 stars rating. But big disappointment with our room conditions, we have dead flies, cockroaches. The food was “ok”, nothing special about the Italian night restaurant, no idea where the drinks are coming from, but I will recommend not drinking...

We just got back last week. The resort Is great, especially for families with children. Everything was always clean, enough sunbeds And umbrellas on the beach. The sea Is beautiful, ideal for snorkeling. Food was amazing, various choices every day. And mainly, the staff were all amazing, Smiling all the time so we Felt very welcomed. Even though they were working very hard they all were just so friendly...

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. It is a bit visible the hotel is older, but things were clean and stuff was always willing to help. Lots of activities for children, every day animation programs from various travel agencies who...

Although this appears to be an older hotel nothing is out of order or tatty , it looks like it has had a recent refurbishment and is in very good order . 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...

We had an amazing holiday here and would like to share our experience. The accommodation was absolutely perfect – the rooms were clean, well-maintained, with regular housekeeping, and the maid was always kind and helpful. The food was fantastic. There was a wide variety to choose from – every day there were different options of chicken, pork, beef, lamb, fish, plenty of vegetables and fruits, and...

Our stay at the hotel was unique. The room was very beautiful and well taken care of. The hotel is right next to the beach, which is very convenient. The restaurant had many meal options, and we enjoyed them all. Their desserts were incredible. The spa staff is amazing… We enjoyed our massages, felt refreshed, and completely relaxed. All the staff were always very helpful and cheerful. They made...

We had an amazing time at Mare Blue! The beachfront location was perfect, and we loved lounging by the pool and trying the local food at the buffet. The vibe was fun but not too loud, and the staff made everything easy. A great place for two friends to relax, explore, and enjoy some sun in Crete!

We booked a last minute family week away. We arrived at 3.30am and had an efficient check in, reception advised that a cold plate of snacks, drinks and access to coffee, had been left in the dining area in case we were peckish after travelling - nice touch. We had booked a family room which had everything we needed but as my 2 sons are older we realised we needed a bit more space and privacy. I spoke...

My husband and I stayed here for one week in mid October. The hotel is stunning and so amazing to be on the beach. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind and friendly. The hotel is immaculate and very clean. We had the half board and the food was great with plenty of choice. The pool bar food was also delicious. We had an evening meal in their al carte restaurant which was excellent. The pool...

I had a wonderful stay at NUMO Ierapetra Beach Resort. From the warm welcome at check-in to the consistently friendly service throughout my stay – everything was pleasant and highly attentive. My room was stylish, spotlessly clean, and featured a lovely little terrace – a perfect place to unwind when I wasn’t at the pool or the beach. The pool and beach areas were fantastic – clean, comfortable, never...

Stunning hotel! Beautiful views and great service. The best pool area we have ever had. Good variety of food. Some live music in the evenings would be a nice touch. A very relaxing week in a secluded spot…it’s at least one and a half hours from the airport.

A very very special hotel, with special staff and very special facilities. The food is exceptional, the drinks options fantastic and the upgrades in report for 2026 are total quality. A fabulous week. A calm location and relaxing atmosphere, spotless through out.

After two wonderful stays in 2025, we've already booked for 2026. We can't wait to return to this resort. For us, it's one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean (…and we've stayed at many others). The staff are exceptionally kind, and the security is top-notch. Ostria is so wonderful that we plan to return every year as part of our Mediterranean summer itinerary.

The hotel itself was very nice — clean, comfortable, and in a great location. However, we did feel that English guests weren’t treated as warmly as others. As a young couple, we sometimes felt we were dismissed or not taken as seriously, which was a shame. Some staff also came across as a bit rude or uninterested when we tried to communicate, and we noticed we weren’t kept as up to date on activities...

The rooms were extremely comfortable with everything needed for our stay. The hotel was very well thought out with quiet areas away from the nosier entertainment area along with an adult bar and pool where you could enjoy the surroundings and relax. The beach and sea were very pleasant with beautiful clear sea. When we first stepped inside the hotel it felt calm and relaxing. The location was...

Me and my partner stayed at the hotel the first week of September. We arrived at the hotel around 2:30am, the staff at reception were very helpful and had food set up in the buffet for our arrival. We got taken by a kart to our room and showed around the resort and given lots of information by the driver. The room itself was beautiful and spacious and there was plenty of storage. It got cleaned every...

I stayed at Ostria Resort & Spa in Crete with just my daughter, and it was truly a holiday we will never forget. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that instantly made us feel at home. The resort itself is stunning – beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and set against the most breathtaking backdrop of the Cretan sea. The atmosphere felt both luxurious...

It's cool despite the strange entries on the internet

Very good place. Barman George is the best!!!

Wonderful hotel! Incredible view!

Great hotel. Lovely pool with a sea view. Food is great and the staff are very nice. 10 mins walk to the beach. The water is beautiful and clear. Go for it

Great loction well away from busy areas. Its quiet a drive from the airport so if travelling outside a package holiday check taxi fares. Beautiful views and you can hire cars really cheaply to explore other parts of the island of Crete.

The rooms are good, with nice airconditioning, a nice view and a spacious bathroom. The staff is very helpfull, exept the restaurant personnel. The food is mediocre at best. Quite far from the beach.
