Hotels on first line in Ierapetra

There’s a mini Astro to play football on and the steps down to the beach right next to the pools. On the beach there’s a dedicated play space with a climbing frame

The beach is sandy and perfect for children, with a seabed that gradually deepens — safe and ideal for young swimmers, though the water can be a little cold at times

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 children up to at least 10-12

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

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 is on the peak

Did good for an all inclusive Greek dishes as well and so much choice at breakfast. Plenty of sunbds on the private beach and around the pool. more choice of spirits on all inclusive would have been good

The staff apart from the rude reception lady were so nice and friendly, Stavros the barman was a top man, he made our stay and evenings, very friendly, a funny guy! Maria was also a lovely lady, kind and helpful, Teddy who ran the animation team did a very good job, from beach activities to evening entertainment including, music nites, kareoke and bingo! The beach is just across a fairly busy toad...

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

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

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

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

It had two nice swimming pools and plenty of loungers around the pools and on the beach

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

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

We choose a more expensive room with its own private swimming pool (more of a plunge pool) with separate sleeping and living area. The room was clean and daily cleaned to a high standard

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

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)

Food was very diversified - everybody could find something delicious to eat. Beautiful place with well-kept gardens and swimming pools. I'd a lovely, bright and big apartment with impressing view

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

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 on the whole good although quite a drive from the airport and Heraklion

It got cleaned every day and fresh bottles of water was put in the fridge every day. There was plenty of loungers by the pool and the sea and everywhere got the sun did not matter where you sat

There was multiple activities provided by the entertainment team daily for example aqua bikes, aqua gym and lots of ball games. The entertainment team spoke multiple languages such as French, Spanish and English

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

Water in the pools is filtered all the time and the guys playing the music know their businesses. Chillout after lunch and live music after dinner. Very kind and smiling you the guests

Staff is extremely helpful and willing to make your state a nice experience. Food varies and also Greek specialities are prepared. Amazing views from the rooms and swimming pool

Hotel room with nice seaview, employees doing their very best, food OK also good choice of fruits every day.

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.

Very clean. Lovely hotel. Great food and service would 100% recommend this.

Needed a hotel in Ierapetra to stay at whilst I dealt with a family bereavement here, so glad I chose this one, only minutes away from town centre and bus station and metres from the promenade and the many beachfront cafes

It was 200 meters from the beach and 500 meters from the bus terminal. The breakfast was very extensive, but unfortunately, there were no Greek dishes, and the quality of the food available was very poor

Honestly, for us, the contract was fulfilled. Located directly on the beach near small shops, the hotel benefits from a privileged location and a modern presentation. We had a room with a direct sea view

We also recommend the small Beach Club Waikiki, which is 200 m from the hotel, to take advantage of the deckchairs offered by the establishment for a lazy day

One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast – a wide variety of delicious options, fresh and nicely presented. Overall, a great experience and I would happily stay here again!

The staff are all very friendly and cannot do enough for you. The hotel is spotless throughout, the rooms are large and each has its own balcony

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

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

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

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

So close to the beach and many excellent places for food and coffee!

Nice area, next to the sea. But there was 1 pub on our side with the loud live music. Overall it was a nice experience

Satisfied Wery nice and kind staff with great service, and hospitality. AC was doing its thing working like a fine clock cooling us off. The location of the hotel couldn’t be better. And its a great comunity.

Excellent service and hotel- the beach is close and the staff are all great. It is an easy walk from the bus station and the sea.

Lovely hotel in Ierapetra Stayed for one week in a comfortable clean single room, with a bit of a sea view and a small balcony for relaxing of an evening and watching the world go by

Very clean hotel, lovely balconies and right next the beach.

The apartment was really clean and very spacious. The reception helped me with some issues I had really quickly. The sea near by is very calm and clean.

A very nice place. It is not far away from the beach and also not far from the city center. Not a lot of things to do in the area since the are is open during summer.

Really nice stay! Kind and friendly staff. Quiet complex. Comfortable parking near the hotel. Late check out given for my late flight.

Warm welcome from the host, clean and comfortable room, and a very convenient location. Everything was perfect! Highly recommended.

Excellent apartment, very spacious, well equipped and very bright. Spotlessly clean and with a pretty good view. Good parking availability in the area

A very good place to stay nice rooms nice breakfast and really wonderful helpful staff would stay there again

Beautiful place, excellent service, friendliest stuff. 5 star experience!

Nice place and very nice people, but far away from the city.

🌴 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

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 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

The catering was also great in the main restaurant and at the beach bar. The overall atmosphere was perfect, mostly thanks to the animation team

We really enjoyed our holidays at the Sunshine Crete Beach Hotel. We have stayed in a semi-separate apartment out of the main building

Still, everything was comfortable and well-maintained. Overall, it’s a lovely place to relax, enjoy the beach, and spend quality time

There are many beaches nearby (some of which can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes). The view over the cliff is incredibly beautiful; watching a sunset or the moon reflected in the sea is breathtaking

A dirt staircase leads directly from the property to the sea (note: not a beach, but rocks), where you can also swim or snorkel when the waves are calm

Absolutely excellent place with magnificent views on the sea. In the night you can sit on a bench ,behind you an olive tree garden and in front of you a breathtaking view on the stars and the sea

Maria even lent us snorkeling equipment because we didn't have any with us, and she said the rocks below were great for snorkeling (you really can, if the sea is calm enough)

While it didn't offer much in the way of amenities or comfort, it did have a very nice location, a terrace with a sea view and sun loungers, and very friendly hosts

The hosts are very beautiful warm- hearted and welcoming people! In fact these were the most amazing hosts I have ever had! Beyond grateful for this wonderful experience! Furthermore , the place is very clean and simply wonderful!

A great choice for a stay in Ierapetra. Close to an organized beach and only a short walk to the city center. Clean, comfortable rooms and convenient parking. Highly recommended.

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights and had a solid, pleasant experience. The staff was polite and professional, and the overall organization of the hotel was good

The room was clean, functional, and comfortable, with everything I needed for my stay. I will definitely come back again

The apartment is very noisy—you can hear every tap running, every toilet flushing, and even conversations from the neighboring rooms. The mattress could also have been a bit firmer; I personally found it too soft

On the positive side, all rooms have been modernized, and the stairwell has been nicely decorated with attention to detail. Still, the whole building is clearly a bit older

As other reviews have already mentioned, the rooms are very small. It’s almost impossible to fit two large suitcases. Our kitchen was also very small
