Creta Maris Resort

We were accommodated in a room near the theater and found the evening program to be very loud, preventing us from sleeping. When we informed the reception about this, we were surprised by how quickly and courteously the staff reacted. On the same morning, we were offered a different room, which we were even allowed to view before having to make a decision. We were immediately assisted with our luggage and the move to the new room. We have rarely encountered such accommodating and helpful staff in hotels. From our perspective, the hotel itself is located somewhat away from the cities; however, you can rent cars at the hotel, providing maximum flexibility. It's a shame that the sun loungers by the pools and on the beach are reserved as early as dawn. Officially, this is not allowed. However, many towels and belongings often lie on the same loungers all day without anyone being present. The hotel offers several pools and is located directly on a non-public beach. So, if you are looking for summer, relaxation, and beach, this is the right place for you. There is also a wide selection of restaurants. If you have booked all-inclusive and visit the main restaurant, you should expect it to be very crowded. Therefore, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, you should rather opt for the à la carte restaurants. We felt very comfortable there and would gladly return.

I had a Cretan Full Body Massage at Aegeo Spa in Creta Maris with Giannis. He was amazing – professional, skilled, and attentive. The spa atmosphere was calm and soothing, and I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommended! The hotel and area is also amazing!

My massage treatment at the Creta Marie spa was outstanding, Angela is a wonderful massage therapist! I have had lots of massages but I have never felt so relaxed after one as I did today. Thank you so much Angela!

Our second holiday here and we realized that the resort is getting even better than the first time!!! The separation of adults only areas is a brilliant idea! The staff and the service is absolutely fantastic! The food is outstanding! You can have dinner every night at a different restaurant with an a-la-carte menu! The whole place is extremely well managed and maintained! This has to be the best resort in Crete!!!

Just returned from our first stay at the Creta Maris resort, and had a wonderful time. This is a wonderful resort, and while there are some small things that could be improved, I still think this deserves 5 stars. I wanted to leave a detailed review, as I find these so useful when searching for holidays, so hopefully people reading this find the same. Check in My husband, 8 year old daughter and I, arrived at Creta Maris, for 3am on a Sunday morning, for an 8 night stay. We were immediately helped with our bags, and went through the simple check in process. I’d already checked in online, so this was super easy. We had booked via TUI a “deluxe double room with inland view and balcony or terrace”, which is pretty much the most basic room they do, I believe. The room The room was ok, lots of storage, also lots of amenities such as a nice large TV, hairdryer, sewing kit, shoe horn, dressing gowns and loads more. The AC worked really well, black out curtains were fab and the beds were extremely comfortable (albeit the king beds are just 2 single beds pushed together - but I liked it). However, I will say, the room was a little tired. Upon arriving, I initially thought the bath was dirty, but it was actually just tatty with some scrapes and discolouration. The room could use some fresh paint - but overall, it was a decent room. The shower was also decent, but the shower guard didn’t cover far enough meaning water got on the floor. I did have one big disappointment, and that was the location of the balcony. We were right above the dumpsters… which was disappointing at first. But it also meant we had a lovely view of the mountains, so in the end we accepted we can’t have it all. Overall the room was pretty good. Importantly, the mini bar came with quite a few drinks, and then was topped up with water only for the rest of the week. I think, as a 5 star, this should be topped up more often. The main hotel building The reception area sure has a wow factor! It is stunning and leads straight out to a bar which has an incredible view of the pool and the ocean. There are some shops in the main building too, these were pricey but specifically the mini market was very useful for small things we needed. My room was in the main building and was very convenient. The main buffet restaurant is in the main building, and is technically on the ground floor (which oddly is floor -1, because reception is at 0). The main pool is right outside of the main building as well. The grounds Every inch of this resort is stunning. I walked around all over the place, and it was just beautiful wherever you went. The gardens are kept perfectly manicured. The resort is huge.. BUT contrary to what I’d read, we didn’t struggle walking it (we are all able bodied with no push chair). As it’s so huge, the resort seems peaceful, even though we were there during peak school holiday time. It took us 10 minutes, with an 8 year old, to walk from the main pool/beach area, to
