What a lovely break - we haven’t been on holiday in over 4 years.. this was the perfect one back! It was super relaxing, the all inclusive food was always interesting and had a large range to choose from. The staff (especially in the restaurant) where wonderful I believe his name was Sofkolis (apologies if wrong) was a star, he already knew what drinks we wanted as we were arriving. A lovely place for a relaxing break!

The checkin was terrible due to a discrepancy between the booking with Expedia and the resort. Expedia was quick to provide info to the resort but the resort wouldn’t accept the information. We spent 2 hours at the checkin counter and asked to have a room and then I continued to work on getting a resolution, which didn’t happen until the next day. Gianni’s at the front desk was terrible, rude and disrespectful! However the other staff were very friendly at the buffet restaurant and at the bar pool. Mario at the bar was excellent! The room was very clean. Thongs were not fully open and so the a la cart restaurant was not available for us to book during our 3 night stay, there were no shows or theme restaurant available. The beach is beautiful, you can walk for miles in both directions but it was difficult to find a chair that wasn’t dirty, lots of bird poop. The buffet restaurant food was great but they have set hours for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so food is not available 24/7 as an all inclusive, I am used to having that service. We played mini putt golf and it was fun even though it is in rough shape. Ball went into the hole and never came out so we had to go and ask for another ball! We went out to a Thalassina Aura restaurant across the street and they had live entertainment and was a lot of fun! Crete is a beautiful island and would highly recommend!

This hotel is absolutely phenomenal in every way. The gardens are immaculate and well maintained, the pool is great and lots of parasols and sun loungers and the private beach is also great. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and the food is absolutely delicious and you have a lovely view of the sea at meal times. I can't recommend this place enough. Suitable for everyone and only a 10 minute taxi from Heraklion airport and you can book the transfer through the hotel. The facilities are amazing; lots of activities throughout the day like aqua zumba, yoga, mini golf, table tennis, volleyball etc etc. So many things to do - I even did a Greek lesson! 10/10 and would stay here every time. It's exactly like it looks in photos, if not better!

Creta Beach has a unique peaceful ambience with greener outdoor spaces. Hotel facilities and services are good. The property stayed in is quite old, only one power socket. Hotel is backing into to sandy beach and had a large swimming pool. There are daily evening shows to entain guests. Breakfast is excellent, other times we eat out, so can not comment. Staff are friendly and helpful.

This is a beautiful resort, not too big, right by the sea. It has a lovely sandy beach, with sun beds and umbrellas. At the time we were there, it was not crowded. The rooms in the bungalow were clean & spacious. It was also fairly quiet. It’s clear the season is new and this was apparent in the gardens which needed attention. This is perhaps my only criticism. There is potential for them to look way better once they’ve been attended to. The staff were attentive and helpful. Special mention to George at reception as well as Eva. They were very helpful to us. The hotel manager (maitre) was also always very helpful to us when we needed it. We travelled for my cousins birthday and we got some complimentary alcohol & sweets in our room. This was very thoughtful and we appreciated it. I managed to get my upgrade to a bungalow as well as late checkout as I’m an Expedia VIP member. An altogether very good stay.

Genuinely had the best time here in Crete. The room i stayed in had everything you needed for a comfortable stay, the pool area is beautiful and the hotel is located right on the beach. You are walking distance from shops, restaurants and a supermarket is about a 20 min walk. There was a good selection of food for each meal and the staff are THE FRIENDLIEST people I’ve ever met. So welcoming and so kind.

It was low season but still excellent service. Breakfast bar huge availability of freshly laid out food. I expect very crowded in high season but served us very well at end of March. Sea and pool too cold. Excellent base from which to explore the island with hired car. Very good local restaurants. Did not use hotel amenities much but was our choice.

The property was beautiful and well laid out. There is only one pool but it is quite huge. The massages are currently indoor/outdoor facility which was very relaxing with the breeze blowing through. There were built in racks outside to hang wet towels and clothes. It stated not to drink the water. There was water in the refrigerator but no note to say it is free. We received water at our door on the last day.
