Das Creta Maris Resort erfüllt den 5 Sterne Standard eines Ferienhotels/einerFerienanlage (also kein Luxushotel) in vollem Umfang, - was bemerkenswert ist. Die Anlage ist groß und teils in Form eines kretischen Dorfs nachempfunden. Die Sauberkeit der Anlage ist bemerkenswert. Das Essen am Büffet ist gut, die Restaurants sind sind sehr gut. Im Büffetbereich ist aufgrund der Größe der Anlage mit ordentlichem Betrieb zu rechnen. Ich würde das nächste Mal als Paar den adult Bereich buchen, da sehr viele Kinder anwesend waren. Die Anlage scheint für Familien mit Kindern gut geeignet. Der Strand ist gut gepflegt, allerdings liegen große Steine im Uferbereich des Meeres, was den Badespaß etwas trübt.

I’ll start with the good • The resort is really beautiful the attention to detail in the design is just incredible • The food is really good. Even as a vegetarian there were so many choices • Rooms are really spacious • Beach is beautiful • Lots to do if you want to and spaces for everyone whether you like busy or quiet and relaxed • Great family resort The could be better • It is impossible to book the a la carte restaurants • Mini bar doesn’t get refilled • While some areas are maintained beautifully others aren’t very clean. The Terra pool was disgusting and lots of stained sunbeds at both it and the bungalow pool. • Some unfriendly staff at both reception, bar and golf buggies • Housekeeping wasn’t the best there was a urine smell in our bathroom from beginning to end of our stay • No drinks service at any of the pools and bar service was slow • Difficult to get around if you have mobility issues. I had asked in advance for room allocation to allow for this and it wasn’t taken into account - also wasn’t sure easy to get a golf buggy to help with getting around.

Mostly Amazing hotel Definitely upgrade to an adult only room, well worth it Staff can't do enough for you, on arrival our room was not satisfactory and we asked to move, it overlooked a very busy road and hire car garage, meant to be pool or mountain view... you cld see the tip of the mountain. We were originally told we would have to wait till the next day to be moved, I flatly refused this and was quickly found another room. Room was clean, big, huge bed but does need updating, and the door didn't fully open, it also overlooked another less busy road and a hotel next door, but it was ok. Apart from this little hiccup, this hotel is great we have to give thanks to Ilias and his team at the pool bar who tirelessly made our fabulous cocktails all week. Also our two waitresses in the buffet restaurant, Eva and Kalliopi they were both so friendly, great customer service All staff offered an excellent service. An army of cleaners cleaned the pool areas every evening. Gardeners were always tending the beautiful gardens The a la carte restaurants are great and we had no issues getting into them, the ribeye steak and sea bass were particularly good, but all food was excellent. The buffet restaurant has a different theme every night and the food here is so well presented and always a good variety. The adult only cocktail bar is also excellent. Only other negative, the bali beds on the beach are in desperate need of a revamp there very tired and dirty also the beach in front of them is a public beach, which wasn't busy in October but it isn't private, however this is normal for Greece, and didn't bother us to much Seriously considering coming back next year

Location was beautiful. Staff were fantastic. Food was amazing.

Very good size, easy to get around, plenty to do. A budget friendly Ikos option. - - Our room was a bit noisy as about the entertainment (that always finished by 10pm) -

Coming here every summer for the past ten years has become a cherished tradition for me and my family. This time, as soon as I got back home, I felt an irresistible urge to book a second stay and a new flight to leave the day after— the longing was simply too strong to ignore. I guess that when a place makes you feel like this, it’s clear that the people behind it are doing their job with true excellence. Everything here makes you want to come back again and again. This year I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Roussakis and the gentle Lady who is part of his staff at the cocktail celebrating the 50th anniversary of Creta Maris, and of sharing my feelings and thoughts about this place. He is an open-minded manager, always ready to listen to his guests’ point of view. I truly appreciate his ideas and the remarkable improvements they have made. The idea of reserving part of the resort for adult guests +16 only was simply brilliant. The rooms, beach, restaurant area and pool were absolutely quiet, wrapped in an elegant atmosphere. The evening live music show was delightful. The bars are incredibly elegant, with an highly professional staff and the restaurants truly refined (see photo). Your warm "welcome back again" instead of just a simple ‘welcome’ touches my heart every single year I come. This year, I have no wishes left for the next summer — everything was simply perfect. Thanks.

Property was lovely, really appreciated the adult only zone as well as the choice of restaurants. Staff were really lovely as well! - - A bit more transparency on the pricing of additional services such as the spa and the photography would have been helpful. -

I stayed in the mountain view deluxe adult only room, quite nice clean and comfortable but could do with a little updating. Staff are brilliant throughout the hotel very friendly and if you do encounter a problem quick to sort it out for you. Food in the buffet is good but doesn't change much in the week so you get bored of it pretty quickly. The a La Carte restaurants were mostly disappointing. The worst was the so called Steakhouse, I have what was supposed to be ribeye steak but it had no flavour at all was just horrible sent it back and asked for lamb chops same totally tasteless horrible food. The best place to eat is Pithos this was fantastic The food was wonderful, enjoyed every mouthful. Hotel is very nice but be prepared to do a lot of walking, if you're not very mobile you might struggle a bit. Getting served drinks is another problem at most of the bars you have to wait for the waiter/waitress to come to you take your order then come back this can take a while sometimes. If you stand at the bar they just ignore you. Apart from the pool bars where you just walk up and ask for a drink as normal. Overall enjoyable stay , few bad points but also quite a few good ones too. Not a massive choice of premium drinks if you're a whisky lover like me it will be disappointing, the best whisky on offer was Jim Beam and some cheaper brands, If you want Jack Daniels it's an extra charge!

Great resort, with a great location and nice ambiance. We selected the adults only, only way to go! Accommodations were nice and very well maintained with only a few opportunities for improvement. The AC didn’t perform well and it never felt like the temp on control, this was observed in a coupe of other rooms, for us it was manageable. Our family enjoyed all of the various areas and restaurants, the Steak restaurant was impossible to get into, we tried every day and night, in person and via app, concierge no luck-that was a big drawback for our entire stay. Service for “us” seemed a bit slow and we tipped well even though no one else seemed too- I get it, it’s a US thing, still I would recommend this site as a 4 out of 5 stars.

The bed was huge and comfortable The saxophone evening was really nice The variety of restaurants and bars was great The adult deluxe areas (the pools and the dining area) were quiet and relaxing - - The restaurants reservation system is not ideal because you can only book a table after checking in and then you have no tables left for this evening and the evening after So in a three night stay you only get one special restaurant. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything. The wifi in the rooms and in some public areas was awful. -

I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. We have just returned after a faultless stay. We had a Sea View Deluxe room which was superb, the food was amazing, so much choice and also different restaurants to choose from. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff went above and beyond our expectations. The adult only part of the whole is wonderful. Well worth a visit.

The hotel was beautiful with lots of amenities. It was kept clean and overall we enjoyed our stay. Good selection of pools, nice beach and pretty grounds. Unfortunately, I would not some back to this resort as for us, it is important to have variety with restaurants. Although this resort does offer a good selection at the buffet, it is very difficult to get into the A la carte restaurants. Bookings open at 8am for the following day and even at 8:10am, I was STILL unable to get booked into the grill restaurant. I also spoke to reception and the restaurant concierge service who didnt seem to be able to help. In my opinion, this means there is an issue with over booking the hotel for the size ir number of a la cartes as we should have been able to get in at least once durimg our stay. We ended up eating outside of the hotel on out last night to have a change of scenery and food.

Great location and good varied restaurants - - Although all inclusive and plenty of ‘free’ bottled water in the rooms charges were made for bottled water in the bars. Very strange. There was free tap water but it was pretty awful tasting. Also smoking pretty much everywhere -

Great service from the reception to the restaurants! Warm 28-30 degree C pool for kids, sea access is great and towels are provided with cocktails and service / snack / bars all over. - - Can’t throw toilet paper in the toilet. -

Amazing hotel 10 stars, absolutely world class, the all inclusive has amazing restaurants and proper shaken cocktails. Really friendly staff. Impossible not to love it.

We stayed from end of September & We had a great stay and really would recommend this hotel, it’s beautiful, very clean & well kept, and offered a 5* holiday We stayed in the adults deluxe area which we cannot recommend enough, the adults pool & bar is stunning and very relaxing, there is lots of reserving of sunbeds early in the morning, we always got a bed between 8-9 but would all be full shortly after this The sunbeds all have tables & umbrellas next to them, and nice seating areas around the adults pool too Pool was cool but refreshing & nice options of the 3 smaller adults only quiet pools which were heated The sea is beautiful, lovely beach with clear waters, water sports available from the hotel including paddle boarding, kayaks & jet skis Lots of sunbeds on the beach although by late morning they were all full too. The adults pool/beach bar -sima was fab, with a friendly & efficient service from Ilias & Iosonas, great range of cocktails & the best coffees, there was also snacks available (salads, fruit bowls & sub rolls) water & soft drinks on tap, bottled water provided in the rooms each day We loved the adults cocktail bar of an evening, overlooking the pool & sea, really lovely setting with the most amazing cocktails & the best service from Niki and Giota. The buffet restaurant is excellent, the choice is great and we loved the adults only seating area which felt calm & provided a great drinks service with the friendliest staff The buffet was well laid out with sections to include fresh breads, salads, vegetarian options, meat, fish, other hot food, fruits, Greek pastries & ice cream and desserts All drinks were table service and it’s a lovely setting overlooking the sea Zambia & the other ladies in the buffet were amazing, so chatty & remembered your drinks order - their service was 5* We also tried the Mademi - grill a la carte which had delicious steaks & a great service The weather was lovely and hot, a few cloudy days/afternoons as we went into October. There are a few shops on site - gift/snack shop, jewellers & clothing shop The town is a few mins walk along the road or beach, lots of restaurants, bars & shops. We found the town to be a little dirty & dated and preferred the luxury of the hotel. The staff work tirelessly to keep the resort spotless, everywhere is so clean and tidy & they are all so friendly & welcoming the whole resort which is huge, the bungalows are beautiful & like a Cretan village, there is a hill and bridge up to the family water park, the crepe & waffle snack bar was nice, there were also golf carts to take you to this side as it is a little walk, however we felt this side of the hotel was a little more dated and could offer a whole different experience if staying on this side. Suggestions for improvements Overall we absolutely loved this hotel and have stayed at 4&5* hotels all around the world, we would say this is a true 5 star but there are a couple of improvements that could be made - more sun beds around the main pool and adults pool - We found the service to be very slow in the lobby - Bigger non smoking area in the cocktail bar (lots of inconsiderate smokers around) - Poolside bar opening one evening a week to use fire pit near adults pool - Manage the reserving of sun beds as lots reserved early morning and not used until afternoon!!

Het was een geweldige ervaring. Alles was oké. Ontzettend klantvriendelijke medewerkers voor wie geen moeite teveel is, heel veel vertier, fijne zwembaden, lekker eten en vlakbij de boulevard en de zee. Mijn zoon en ik kregen een gratis upgrade naar een appartement met vier kamers, een keuken met wasmachine, keuken en badkamer en een enorm dakterras.

Location - - Bedroom we asked for a king bed and got 2 single beds together they kept moving! -
