The best vacation ever! We are so grateful Arina Beach for our amazing stay! That was our first trip to Greece and we fell in love with this country! This is all due to this great Hotel! From the first minutes of our stay we were feeling ourselves as special guests. Our room was upgraded till bungalow. And we thank a million for that! We were able to see smell and to hear the sea all the time! The apartment was clean and gorgeous! We must admit the food. The variety and quality is the best! There are plenty of seafood, fish, meat, salads and fruits every day. There is a corner with special food for kids. The bars are having cocktails like in the best restaurants. Every personnel was attentive and super friendly. The water park is a great addition to this fabulous hotel! Arina is in our hearts forever! Thank you for the superior hotel!

We used to go to arina sands when our children were younger. My husband and I have gone back to arina sands for the last 3 years and the food staff are all amazing. The rooms are spacious with an iron and ironing board. This year we are going for 3 weeks in September. We really can't wait to see everyone again for a big hotel you are made to feel really welcomed.

Already dreaming of visiting again. The hotel’s beach is very good for walking, long and sandy. Some days the sea brings a lot of seaweed onto the shore and the next day it takes it back again. That’s just nature. There are many places to relax around the hotel area and we never had a problem finding a new spot to sit during the day. Everyone spoke a good level of English, so we had no problems with communication. Our room in the main building was very comfortable and spacious. We especially liked that the toilet was separated by an extra door within the bathroom. The interior design in the room and throughout the hotel was very cool, with lots of small, clever details. Our cleaning lady was such a lovely person and our room was always very clean. In fact, the whole hotel was consistently spotless. The hotel also has very comfortable washrooms available for guests to use on the last day, which is a really thoughtful touch. The best part of the hotel was the food selection. We loved that you could get the house wine by the bottle during meals. The a la carte restaurants were very good too, the morning a la carte was very relaxed. In the evening, Avra served me the best lamb I have ever eaten, it was tasty, sticky, moist, everything a lamb should be. We also enjoyed the Asian restaurant, the pork belly was excellent. It was very clever and convenient that the hotel has an app where you can book everything and check dinner times and the hotel map. During the daytime the water park pool bar area was our favorite place. The barman there was a genuinely kind, fun and caring person who really made our vacation even better. Special Yamas! from us. In the evening the lobby bar brothers Albi and Dimitris, made excellent cocktails and were just as friendly and genuine. And of course, all the other staff from table cleaners to the beach bar ladies, were wonderful too. The entertainment team did a great job. They organized fun activities, were approachable and had a great sense of humor, which made everything feel relaxed and friendly. A special compliment to the restaurant manager for his shirts. He wore a new stylish shirt every day and clearly has a great sense of style. Even though he was always busy organizing things, he still found time to be polite and friendly with guests. I really struggle to find anything negative, perhaps the only small issue was that the elevators were a bit slow. The hotel location is very convenient. You can walk to the nearby village where there is a market and the bus stops are right in front of the hotel. The hotel is located between two bigger cities, so the distance to both is similar. The bus system is easy to use, you check the time, wait, get on the bus, say where you want to go, buy the affordable ticket and ride. Just make sure to have extra time, because sometimes the buses are full and one or even two buses may pass without stopping, which can mean over an hour of waiting. There is a flight corridor in front of the hotel, because you have to get to the island somehow. For me it was actually fun to watch the planes while lying in the sun and after a while you get used to the sound and do not really notice it anymore.

Having stayed for a week in September 2025, i can not praise the hotel and every single member of the team enough, My wife and I felt instantly at ease as soon as we arrived, even the often stressful check in process experienced at hotels was handled with absolute professionalism, care and respect. We were taken to our room and found it to be spacious and very well finished throughout. We had upgraded to a Superior Double Room with sea view and were very pleased to have done so. The hotel is large enough to offer all that you would require whilst still retaining a feeling of extreme care and consideration from all employees. The food was amazing throughout our stay, at no point did we feel that it was in any way repetitive, a common issue with all inclusive breaks. We used all three bars during various points of the day and found that the drinks were perfectly served, very enjoyable and fast flowing, no real ques at any point of our break. The gym, indoor and outdoor pools are very well maintained, all equipment worked and was of a high caliber. There are water flooms and a separate area for younger children within the hotel grounds and it sits directly onto a lovely sandy beach. We will return as soon as we are able.

Highly recommend! Rooms5.0Service5.0Location5.0 Hotel highlightsLuxury · Great view · Kid-friendly

All-inclusive, Zimmer mit Meerblick. Man konnte hier sorglos mit der Familie Urlaub machen. Buffet mit wenig täglichen Variationen. Jeden Tag verschiedene Programme im Entertainment Area. Schöner Strand, auch nah genug zu Heraklion. Wir haben einen Mietwagen gebucht nur sehr selten genutzt. Rooms5.0Service5.0Location5.0 Hotel highlightsGreat view · Quiet · Kid-friendly

First off, let me just say that despite the relatively poor location of this hotel, it is in fact a 5star rating from myself and my family: Pros - CLEANLINESS: The hotel is IMMACULATELY presented. Rooms are cleaned daily. Didn t see a single bug in the room. This goes for the food and bar areas also. - FOOD: Top notch food here. Loads of choice, mostly Greek food (you re in Greece afterall) with some chips and pizzas etc for fussy eaters or kids. Certainly enough choice for a weeks stay. The stuffed vine leaves were fantastic. - DRINK: The alcohol served here can and will get you a bit squiffy rather quickly if you re not careful. You don t have to drink your own bodyweight in order to feel the effects (my wife can vouch for that). - STAFF: In our week here we didn t meet a single staff memeber who wasn t kind, curteous and considerate, whether it was a cleaner, front of house or a bartender. All great. - KIDS ACTIVITIES: Thankfully within the ground of the hotel there is an aquapark area consisting of 3 large adult slides (our son is 10 and loved these) as well as a smaller kids play area with a shallow pool, slides and splash area. The kids pool also has toilet facilities and a pool bar which serves drinks and a mix of crepes, waffles etc for some tasty snacks. There is a heated indoor pool which is open for kids from 10:00-13:00. Cons (there aren t many) - LOCATION: Really the only drawback of the hotel is its location. To get anywhere lively or with things to see and do you will need to get buses or taxis. Thankfully the hotel has a nearby taxi company which they have on hand for the more adventurous. We travelled into Heraklion for 30Euros each way, which I thought was a reasonable price. Heraklion was a really great day out. Lots of shops and cool things to see and do including a cathedral, a venetian fort amongst others. Overall the hotel is absolutely fantastic and if you re the type of family that just likes to chill out in a hotel and maybe have a walk along the beach then I could nt reommend it highe

Φανταστικό κατάλυμα για παιδιά και οικογένειες! - - Το μόνο αρνητικό ήταν στο μπουφέ του ξενοδοχείου, μας συνέβη ένα άτομο του προσωπικού να πιάσει φαγητό με γυμνό χέρι -

It was a great experience staying at Arina Beach, Crete. Excellent service, excellent location, and excellent staff.

Tolles Hotel, sauber und und immer alles an Ort und Stelle. Hier wird sich gekümmert. Personal immer freundlich, Essen von sehr guter Qualität und super im Geschmack. Hier kann man einen wundervollen Urlaub verbringen. Sandstrand und sehr wenige Steine im Wasser und das nur im sehr flachem Bereich. Diese sind auch sehr gut erkennbar.

Das Arina Beach ist ca. 10 Min vom Flughafen entfernt. Man kann auch gut mit dem öffentlichen Bus anreisen, die Haltestelle ist direkt vor dem Hotel. Das Hotel ist sehr gepflegt, hat ein Main Restaurant, ein Asia und ein à la Carte Restaurant, welche man beide via App nach Verfügbarkeit reservieren kann. Das Essen ist sehr vielfältig und sehr gut. Auch gibt es viele Salate und Früchte, Dessert, Kuchen und Eis. Der Wein zum Essen wird in Flaschen serviert, ist mild und bekömmlich, es gibt in in rot, rosé oder weiss. Das Personal ist auch am Saisonschluss noch immer sehr freundlich und aufgestellt. Die Zimmer sind großzügig und neu renoviert, wir hatten eins mit Balkon und Meerblick, was zu empfehlen ist. Es gibt einen Kühlschrank mit Süssgetränken und einen Wasserkocher für Tee und Kaffee. Ebenfalls hat es einen Tresor sowie ein Bügeleisen mit Bügelbrett, Bademäntel und Slipper für das Spa und Sauna. Die Sauna muss man buchen, aber sie ist gratis. Es gibt einen schönen Indoorpool und ein grosses Fitness. Ebenfalls hat es Internetplätze sowie eine Autovermietung vor Ort. Der Strand ist lang und man kann gut spazieren. Das Wasser war noch im November warm und wir konnten viel schwimmen gehen. Es gibt viele Familien mit Kindern gross und klein, das macht es zum Teil sehr laut. Wir konnten bis zum Abflug im Zimmer bleiben, weil Saisonschluss war, was wir sehr schätzten. Ein Touristik Bähnli haltet ebenfalls vor dem Hotel und man kann damit für 13 Euro eine Umgebungsrundfahrt machen. Alles in allem, war es ein sehr schöner und erholsamer Urlaub, welcher in diesem Hotel zu empfehlen ist.

Overall, my stay was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious holiday and private escape.

beach was beautiful, Personal was friendly. Everyday was also various programs for Kids. One don't need to care about anything.

Als Familie ein super Hotel. Alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Essen ist gegenüber anderen Hotels sehr gut und frisch. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Danke für die tolle Zeit.

Would highly recommend the Arina Beach Hotel. - Attentive and friendly staff - Photos on the hotel's site are highly accurate so give a good sense of what to expect - Great facilities and very clean (children being able to use the indoor, heated pool between 10 and 1 was particularly good for families) - Would highly recommend booking a maisonette with a private pool. Lots of space for a family (ample wardrobe space, two bathrooms etc ) - Beautiful location with it being right on the beach. Water still warm enough to swim in late October/early November - the food was a real highlight, particularly the buffet restaurant. Lots of variety and changed each day. - kids club staff were lovely and great with the little ones but quite limited facilities.

Had a fantastic massage done by Albora...she is very professional and great at what she does. I had a very relaxing experience

Die Massage bei Albora war fantastisch! Sie ist super freundlich und weiss ganz genau was sie macht! Definitiv weiter zu empfehlen!

Die Massage mit Albora war mega gut. Sie hat sich Zeit genommen und geht super auf den Kunden ein. Komme jederzeit wieder. Kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen

Sehr erholsamer Urlaub. Gesamte Anlage, Zimmer, Service - wir waren sehr zufrieden. Alles sehr sauber und top in Schuss. Die Mitarbeiter waren allesamt immer freundlich. Auch der Spa Bereich war hervorragend. Die Freundlichkeit am Empfang bei der Buchung der Termine und natürlich auch die Behandler. Habe meine Rückenmassage bei Albona sehr genossen. Wir können das Haus guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen und kommen gerne wieder!
