We (2 adults and 2 children, age 6 and 8) stayed in June 2026 and had a fantastic time. The resort is a good size, great selection of pools, slides and splash area plus a beach. There was entertainment all day, suitable for kids and adults that you could join in as you wish. Our children were never bored! A special thank you to Michele, Kieran and the whole entertainment team. They made us feel so welcome and made the kids feel really special. The food was also excellent. Highly recommend!

I chose this hotel because of its "Best of the Best" award, and I arrived with high expectations... AND IT EXCEEDED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! On the flight back home, I kept thinking: I absolutely have to leave a review. I don't do this very often, but Arina Beach Hotel truly deserves it. Value for Money: Unbeatable Cleanliness: Exceptional Food: Exceptional (both in the main restaurant and in the themed restaurants) Hotel Staff: Exceptional Special Features: The resort is very thoughtfully designed and planned. Families with children are accommodated close to the playgrounds and water slides, while couples and solo travelers can enjoy quieter areas without being disturbed. For Families with Children: Absolutely perfect! There are plenty of playgrounds and water slides, all maintained in excellent condition. If Arina Beach Resort is already on your list, book it without hesitation! If it isn't... add it! I will gladly return, and I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Brilliant ???? very good, Eleanna is professional and amazing at what she does. I highly recommend her.

Just back from 7 night stay at arina beach. What an amazing time. The hotel was so clean and rooms kept to a very high standard. The food had an extensive menu and would defy anyone to not find something they liked at the buffet. The entertainment was good every night and most of all the staff were so polite and helpful. The bar staff deserve a special shout. Nothing is too much trouble and at the exclusive bar Dimitris and team Albi,Entik and Sabin made our stay special. So big thanks. We would definitely recommend this hotel and plan a return visit next year.

First time in Europe as we like long haul , went with family so wanted a good hotel with something for everyone. We definitely weren’t disappointed, in-fact we were extremely happy with our choice of hotel as we can be quite fussy. The grounds are very clean and not too big. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful and keen to make your holiday memorable. We had two rooms a bungalow with its own pool, positions right next to the beach with beautiful views. The room had everything you needed and was a nice size. Lovely balcony and a good size pool which was very clean. Then there was a grass area with your own sun beds which is nice. However be warned there are steps into the pool from the balcony but none at the other end to get out to your sun beds. If you are young and fit you could pull yourself out. We couldn’t so had to go out of the door and walk around the rooms , although not a far walk it’s very inconvenient if you are sunbathing and fancy a swim to cool off. Other than that we loved everything else about the room but probably wouldn’t book and pay the extra for the inconvenience. Second room booked with the family and small kids in mind , ground floor direct pool access in the family area was absolutely perfect. Large room with 2 single beds a partition and a double bed. There was a microwave in the room which was great for baby bottles etc.The room was close to everything and easy access with a pram. Food was great probably one of the best hotels for choice of places to eat , variety and quality. We travel a lot so have had a lot of experiences. To be honest the buffet was definitely one of the best buffets we have been too. Bars are good with friendly staff and good choice of drinks. Evening entertainment was good and something for all ages. Great water park, small but our grandson loved it. The beach was beautiful, lovely sand and clear water. Went to the spa twice and although family members had good experiences mine was only fine. I found the spa not to be up to the same standard of the rest of the hotel. Hard selling of treatments by staff, my massage was fine but after the treatment and feeling relaxed I went downstairs to have a iPad pushed in my hands for feedback which of course your going to say it was excellent with someone standing over you. Then I felt slightly pushed into another treatment and then told I had to go get my card to pay for it in advance within an hour. All my relaxation gone. My second treatment was a waste of money. I believe the spa is run by a separate company. Thinking of booking do it you won’t be disappointed, the hotel management have done an amazing job here. Something for all ages, doesn’t matter if you go as a family or a couple you will have a great time. Beautiful place, amazing food lovely rooms how could you not enjoy it.

Location is very good, roght next to the beach. Staff is very kind, food is also delicous and very diverse in buffet. The spa treatment is very good and Mariana, the massage therapist, was amazing. Overall would recommend.

Last day today, so thought if give my honest opinions on this hotel. Location good. Buses easy to navigate to nearby things to see and do like heraklion. Hotel. Staff very nice, seems very clean and tidy. Food was probably best ive had on an all inclusive. Always cooked well and plenty of choice. The bookable restaurant. We booked the Asian one and thought it would be a menu, but it was just a Chinese buffet style place. Something to bear in mind. Pools very nice and clean. Splash park is good for the kids, one or two parts of it not working as they should so maybe a bit of TLC needed. Nothing major though. The only issue I have with the pools is the one closest to the splash park is adults only, which doesn't really make sense. Smoking around the pools and out door areas on an evening is annoying and anti social. Maybe make smoking areas for people who wish to smoke. Beach lovley, and obviously part of the hotel. Sun loungers very comfy. Hotel transfer super fast. Evening entertainment was good.from what I could see. Need a stage area though as its hard to see the show once a few people gather round the floor area where its situated. Overall, had a great time and would come again.

Definitely our best all-inclusive stay so far. This hotel is pure magic! Everything was excellent: the staff, the food, the entertainment, the location, and the breathtaking views. We highly recommend it and would love to come back. Thank you so much for everything, you are doing a fantastic job!

Absolutely lovely hotel - spotlessly clean, fabulous food with good choice of restaurants, great pools and sandy beach literally right on the doorstep. Staff are kind and friendly and whole atmosphere is very relaxed and accommodating. Nothing much to walk to outside of hotel but bus stop right outside with good service.

We stayed in the annex of the hotel,with its own poolside bar, Dimitra, the server looked after us so well all week making the stay extra special. The hotel was great , everything I could have hoped for and more

Sehr schöner Familienurlaub. Tolles Essen, Personal extrem freundlich, alles sehr sauber. Können wir absolut weiterempfehlen.

Ich hatte eine perfekte Massage bei Eleni im Aegeo Spa im Hotel. Die Ruhe und die Räumlichkeiten sind wunderbar. Jedem, der ein bisschen zusätzliche Entspannung sucht, kann ich die Spa Anwendungen sehr empfehlen.

מלון ברמה גבוה נקי מאוד אוכל בשפע שירות מהכי טובים קרוב מאוד לשדה תעופה מהמלונות הכי מפנקים שהייתי בהם

Ich hatte heute eine Rückenmassage bei Emma. Diese war einfach wunderbar. Absolute Empfehlung. Jederzeit wieder.

Très bon hôtel, je recommande vraiment. Très propre et bien entretenu. Les restaurants sont excellents aussi, beaucoup de choix et très qualitatif. Je recommande sans hésitation.

Die Anlage ist in einem sehr guten Zustand und alles ist sehr sauber. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch das Essen in allen Restaurants ist sehr gut. Besonders positiv fanden wir, dass kaum Liegen reserviert werden und selbst dann noch genügend verfügbar sind, wenn man erst am Mittag an den Pool oder an den Strand möchte. Die Zimmergrösse unseres Familienzimmers mit Meerblick war in Ordnung. Die Sauberkeit im Zimmer war grundsätzlich ebenfalls ok, allerdings hatten wir einige Ameisen im Zimmer. Die Zimmerreinigung beschränkte sich hauptsächlich auf das Bettenmachen und den Wechsel der Tücher. Der Boden im WC wurde beispielsweise gar nicht oder nur oberflächlich gereinigt. Insgesamt ist das aber Jammern auf hohem Niveau.

Quelle splendide séjour! Tout est parfait! Les chambres sont propres, spacieuses avec une vue magnifique. La nourriture dans chacun des restaurants est excellente, ce qui est rarissime en all inclusive. Le personnel est très sympathique...seul bémol, les transats sont accaparés dès le matin par les autres clients peu soucieux des règles du bon savoir vivre en communauté !!!

Une expérience remarquablement positive, surtout niveau massage emmental est très compétente

Where do I even start!! This hotel has been the absolute best hotel we have ever stayed in. We booked through Jet2 and it definitely was worth every penny we paid! The facilities are fantastic and it is in a fabulous location situated on a beautiful private beach. Arina beach will always be a special place to us even more so that it was the place we got engaged!! We stayed in the annex. The room was great, very clean with a stocked mini fridge every day and air con- which we were grateful for!! The food was absolutely amazing with so much selection. We loved how you could book into the different restaurants throughout your stay too alongside the main buffet area. The staff go out of their way to make your stay perfect and when they found out about our engagement they organised us to have a meal in a private dining area which was fantastic. We are so grateful to every single member of staff but especially Dimitra in the Annex pool bar. She really went out of her way to look after us and ensure we had a great holiday. She made the best drinks and we really enjoyed sitting with her and talking! We will really miss her that we are now back home! Thank you Arina beach for giving us an excellent holiday!
