Top Cretaquarium Hotel Reviews

Mitsis Selection Rinela

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic holiday!"

Niros Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great seaside resort"

Saint George Gournes Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Just a great relaxing experience. Room was clean, new and had a bar fridge & large a bathroom. Breakfast was provided and was delicious & changed daily. Pool & Bar area with cocktails, beers & snacks, lunch & dinners. Just delicious, try the sardines, large beans & pasta. l highly recommend. Nearby beaches, cafes are a 5min walk along the beach. We hired a car, well worth it if you want to see Heraklion & Chania."

Gouves Water Park Holiday Resort

8/10 Good

"Great family resort with multiple pools and activities. Good for younger kids and families who are mostly looking to spend their time at the hotel. A few decent shops and restaurants nearby and nice beaches a 10 minute walk. Taxis are expensive in the islands. €35 from airport to resort. 15-20 min"

Destino Luxury Villas Gournes

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely fantastic stay and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The villa was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. A very special thank you to Eleni for her incredible hospitality. She was always responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about making our stay as enjoyable as possible. Her warmth and willingness to help with anything we needed truly made the difference. Highly recommended—we would love to come back!"

Aelius Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful welcome from wonderful staff. Nothing feels like too much trouble. The standard room was basic but was perfectly sufficient for our needs and cleaned every day. The hotel has a boutique style with 2 nice outdoor pools and one indoor, next to the small but sufficiently equipped gym. Unfortunately we did not have time to try out the spa treatments but the staff were also very nice in there. We were half-board and found the food to be excellent - lots of choice, very fresh and again, wonderful staff. I travelled with my teenage daughter and we were glad to see a variety of different people and age groups at the hotel, couples, groups and families. The location is also very good. It is in a quiet area within walking distance (20 mins) of the beach, some shops, tavernas and bars. There are bus stops close by to take you to busier areas such as Heraklion and Hersonissos, which we used frequently. The hotel also facilitates car rental (for the brave) as well as airport transfers, which we used on arrival and were very happy with. The one and only criticism is reserving sunbeds with towels. The hotel states that they do not allow it but it happened daily and no one acted upon it. It meant that we spent very little of our time in the hotel using their facilities. I think if you have a policy, you should stick to it. It was very frustrating to see reserved beds left for many hours unoccupied."

Creteco Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"W"

Golden Bay Boutique Hotel & Bungalows

8/10 Good

"Great sea front location (beautiful sunset), walking distance to few restaurants, and with friendly staff. Rooms were spacious and clean and very functional, though not the most luxurious (likely 2-3 star). Included breakfast was also good. One thing I did not like is that the access to the hotel and vicinity is not that polished (area looks run down with an under developed feel, even though the hotel itself is decent and well maintained)."

Astir Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Bar closes at 11pm for all inclusive. Local drinks available for all inclusive. Branded drinks your need to pay euros."
