Creta Maris Beach Resort

There is great attention to detail - the hotel is spotless and the staff are so attentive and seem to genuinely enjoy working at Creta Maris: we were greeted with friendly smiles throughout the hotel. I was slightly nervous about there being a lack of choice food-wise at an all inclusive, not having been to one before, but there are plenty of restaurants all with a different feel and food choices. The water park is new this year and our children (9 and 6) loved it. There were generally plenty of sunloungers there and the food is good. The waterpark was big enough for our children but not so big that you can’t keep track of them. Overall, we had a fabulous time at Creta Maris and would certainly like to go again in future.

It can be tricky to find sunloungers at the main pool, in spite of signs everywhere saying not to reserve them, a lot of people do reserve several at a time and then don’t use them for long periods.

This is our second time in Creta Maris! No words can describe the fun we had :) We have arrived with our 2 small kids and friends who also have 2 small kids. The Hotel arranged transportation for us to the hotel from the airport and also upgraded our rooms because we have requested not to be far from the main building (because we are with small kids). The food and restaurants are amazing. The amount of pools the resort have is endless. The service is spectacular and our kids had the best time!

stairs with a stroller can be hard... but we managed. The hotel has made sure our rooms are close to the main building because we had a stroller with a small child.

- Huge resort, but doesn't feel like that. Plenty of pools, plenty of space. Only the main pool and the main restaurant would get crowded - I like the fact they are 'green' and do lots of stuff to reduce their impact on the environment - Very clean resort - Very good facilities for kids (pools, beach, kids' club, sports, waterpark) - Waterpark - Friendly staff, very helpfull. - Food! The buffet is very good, although a bit noisy and crowded at times

- Neighbourhood: Crete is a large island and Chersonnisos (where Creta Maris is located) is very touristy. It is not a noisy or dirty area, but it is just far from a lot of interesting sights. It is about 30 min drive to Eraklion and Knossos, but I think it would have been more convenient to be located at the western side of Eraklion. - The rooms are a bit outdated and dark (not much daylight). Also, at the last day there were suddenly lots of ants in the bathroom. I reported this to the receptionist during our checkout and he apologised and thanked me, said he would have someone take care of it. Since we left, I do not know if it was actually taken care of.

Location! 20 min from HER airport. The sea is super clean. The pool is clean. The staff is helpful nice and polite. The water park is great! Both of adult and for children.

Food quality is medium, but this "tasty-medium". You do have a variety of restaurants and kitchens, but it's hard to book a seat in some.

Such a beautiful location. The hotel/resort is huge but still feels very homey. It’s clean and flowers are blooming everywhere. Lots of pools, bars, snack bars and restaurants. Really a paradise!

The property itself is perfect. But there isn’t much to do outside of it. Not a nice place to walk around. But really no reason to leave the property!
