Erg mooi ruim opgezet hotel. Een dorpje op zich. Met heerlijke restaurants waar je elke avond uit kunt kiezen. Direct aan zee met prachtig uitzicht.

It is a beautiful but simple accommodation. The furniture in the rooms is dated and not inspiring (it was neither Greek or luxurious). The sleeping couches in the living areas are like rock. My 18 year old son slept on one of them in our suite and had troubles the whole week. The extra couch was uncomfortable to sit on as a couch: too wide, too hard and not enough cushions to really be considered ...

It is a beautiful but simple accommodation. The furniture in the rooms is dated and not inspiring (it was neither Greek or luxurious). The sleeping couches in the living areas are like rock. My 18 year old son slept on one of them in our suite and had troubles the whole week. The extra couch was uncomfortable to sit on as a couch: too wide, too hard and not enough cushions to really be considered a couch. The furniture configuration in our living room (763) was odd but the location and view were lovely. Also super was that it had 2 bathrooms!
With regards to grounds they were beautiful and well maintained. This is not a resort for you if you have walking issues: loads of steps, restaurants are far apart and uneven surfaces to walk on.
Situation at the pool with regards to the lounge beds was ridiculous. After 2 days of not having a bed, my husband got up at 7:30 and secured and guarded some lounge beds for us. It was really a thing at this resort. I spoke to the pool staff and they said they couldn't do anything about it. I have stayed at other resorts where they have a system (If they see that you have not been there for 45 minutes they remove your things and leave you a note.) For the money we paid I want to have a lounge bed with no hassle.
I read in several reviews that the food was not great. I felt the food was wonderful. Fresh, tasty and plentiful. Also the inclusive drinks and cocktails were of good quality. Desserts were great too! This was not Michelin star quality food but as far as resort food goes it was really good. Staff in the restaurant was not always friendly (we always left tips).
The overall location of our resort for the younger in our group (we traveled with 6 teenagers between 16-19) was fantastic. They were able to go out within a walk-able distance from the hotel.
I (and my family) also used the Spa and that was of really good quality. Friendly and well spoken staff. Prices were somewhat higher that I was used to paying in other resorts but quality of the massages were great.

Wij hadden Turkije geboekt maar door de corona uitgeweken naar Kreta. Op advies van het reisburo, Creta Maris Beach geboekt. Geen hotel maar een klein vakantie dorpje met meerdere zwembaden, bars en direct aan het strand. Het eten is heel goed en afwisselend. Genoeg keuze voor iedereen. Het personeel bij de zwembaden, restaurant tot managers allemaal heel vriendelijk. We hadden een leuk huisje met...

Het personeel bij de zwembaden, restaurant tot managers allemaal heel vriendelijk. We hadden een leuk huisje met aparte slaapkamer.(die is wat kleiner) Ik was er samen met mijn vriend en met mijn twee neefjes van 9 en 13 jaar die net als wij een hele mooie onvergetelijke week hebben gehad waar we nog heel lang aan zullen terug denken.
