JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I looked forward to this review 7 nights stay #5017 -Hotel overall beautiful. Extremely well done. Modern and peaceful. -Beach is beautiful (mostly on rocky outcrops with a sandy area as well, stunning water) -Room, Superior Suite was perfect, very luxurious for two people. Private pool -Breakfast: inclu,exemplary. Even when tired I would get up to go. Closes 11am, classy to give us that extra half/full hour comparatively. Chef Michael came to ‘help’ me first morning as he saw I was somewhat overwhelmed. It’s complete, regardless of where you come from. They have it all and it’s fantastic. I went nuts for the croissants. Better than Paris. We sat inside Emanuela’s section daily. Warm welcomes from Antonia as well. -Staff: even with a perfect structure and location, this hotel stands out because of its staff. I travel quite a bit, this young staff is a crown jewel of Marriott. From greeting to the time we left they were impeccable. Charming, courteous, welcoming, yet very professional, never got a ‘we can’t’ Front desk Alex (mostly interacted with the moustached one, other one great 2) accommodated anything I could ask. Small Ex: room serviced a cheese platter, realized there’s no bread included, called front desk and asked ‘for a small piece of bread and honey, happy to pay for it’. No no no Sir, it’s our pleasure and there will be no fees. They warmed it up, delivered a beautiful loaf Can’t remember all the names, truly great staff Bravo Marriott for this one"

The location is excellent as well with a lovely view of the beach, and a nice pool if you don’t want to travel in the day. The rooms are always kept to the highest level of cleanliness I have seen in a long time. I absolutely recommend. It is a bargain for this price"

"We stayed here with our three children, and I can honestly say this is one of the best holidays we have ever been on. The accommodation is beautiful, and the setting is simply incredible. So much time, care and effort has clearly gone into ensuring that the guest experience is second to none. Panos and Miranda, who run the resort, are two of the nicest people we have ever met. Their welcoming smiles and positive attitudes make sure that everyone feels looked after and truly valued. We also hired a car during our stay to explore the island, which I would strongly recommend. It was a fantastic way to discover everything the island and local area has to offer. One thing I can say for certain is that we are already looking forward to returning! 😊"
