Creta Maris Resort

Everything was perfect @ Creta Maris !!! ...... The food delicious... The hotel/bungalows beautiful... We stayed here for 11 days with a 1.5 year old child. Everyone was really friendly We will definitely come back. ευχαριστώ για τις όμορφες διακοπές

Today I had a deep tissue massage at Creta Maris Spa. This was my 56th birthday present from my wife. My experience from Dimitris was outstanding. He was fully professional and a master of his craft. He showed skill and knowledge. He definitely removed all the notts in my back and thoroughly massaged my neck either side of the spine. He deeply massaged my shoulders. He passed on advice to help alleviate the neck pain I suffer from. I came away from the Spa an inch taller and completely relaxed. I commend you Dimitris. You are a credit to the resort and Spa. I would recommend everyone pay a visit to see Dimitris. You will not be disappointed. Thank you.

One of my fav all inclusive resorts in Europe. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. So much to do 12 pools to sit by 8 restaurants to eat in and 10 bars for drinks. Luxury beds by some pools What I loved Adults only bar , comfy beds and pillows , quality of food at the speciality restaurants , smoothie juice bar. Great cocktail menu great spa treatments. The service everywhere. We stayed in the bungalows which was a lovely quiet area. The water park. So clean everywhere. Great cinema playing current movies every night. What I didn't Lack of variety in the speciality restaurants many being Greek or Mediterranean food. No adult only pools. Need more bar staff the wait times for drinks at times was too long. Only able to book speciality restaurants from 7.30am so you have to set your alarm and wake up early on your holiday if you want one of the good ones. the road that runs through the resort splitting it in 2 although there are bridges that connect there is a lot of traffic noise in some of the rooms the mini golf is disappointing Although it was expensive I thoroughly enjoyed our week and it felt luxurious

The best hotel I have ever stayed at. The hotel is just stunning and it’s like staying in a little Greek village. Everything you need in one resort! My 5 year old absolutely loved everything about the holiday and we will 100% return! Worth every penny!

Creta Maris Resort. Well what can I say, having been caught up in the Crowdstrike debacle, TUI managed to negotiate emergency accommodation for one night then another.  We all arrived around 11:30 but were held up on checking in until the restaurants were closed. After Which we were processed very quickly, I get it; they hadn't expected a late rush for the restaurant and so were not prepared. That said when asked if they could perhaps give some fruit or anything we were told no. Some of us hadn't eaten since lunch! We ventured out into the town where we eat at Mammos (very nice by the way as were the surroundings). The next morning we arose and had to check out of our rooms as TUI had only negotiated one night's stay. No problem, the staff were very accommodating and friendly, we were still allowed to use the facilities and still had all inclusive privileges. The staff tried to make us feel very welcome despite our circumstances,difficult given the low mood. They were as much in the dark as we were about what was going on. Around 5pm we were informed that we would be staying a second night; and that we would be updated on our repatriation flights at 5 pm the following day. This had a relaxing effect on us and we could finally enjoy the environment we found ourselves in. The staff were excellent, I know its unfair to single out one person but, Panagiota was outstanding in her compassionate and friendly care of my wife and I.We almost forgot we were stranded in Crete!  The resort was very nice but sun loungers were difficult to get as mos guest were reserving them with towels, something which was not allowed at our original resort The Elounda Village. It is a larger resort and very busy, but the staff work hard to help you enjoy your stay. I will always  be grateful for their hospitality and kindness. If you are looking for a good family resort I would definitely recommend this one.

The resort is amazing. The all inclusive is amazing. The personell is super friendly and lovely. But the rooms in the Terra building are never near 5*. We did an maintence request at the reception. But it was never fixed. The shower head was leaking and the airco worked but didnt blew cooled air. The terra rooms are super outdated and i was dissapointed in them. And also the are very far located from the main building. So if you want to have a central room book one in the maris ( i didnt knew this) or sea sight rooms. Although we are very far on the resort every building or bungalow area has a pool and snackpoint/bar. But in my humble view Enomy is a great restaurant and from our room it was quite a walk every time. And dont take the dress code to lightly with diner you cant show up in slippers/ flip flops or sports wear. During breakfast/lunch isnt a problem. But never show up in swim wear. I know in other countries they arent this strict but just an heads up.

We stayed at Creta Maris resort for 14 days. We extremely enjoyed our stay. It is a very big resort but at no stage we felt the resort was very crowded. There were 3 restaurants one could have breakfast and lunch at, apart from pool bars and food courts and 6 other restaurants where one can have dinner at. Apart from the main restaurant the others have to be booked a day or by 3pm on the day. What impressed us about all the restaurants and their menu was how clearly all items were labelled. We are vegetarians and at the main restaurant there was a vegetarian/vegan counter, but food items at all other counters were clearly labelled. All other a la carte restaurants had vegetarian/vegan and gluten free menus. they all catered for people who did not have cows milk. We were also very impressed that the resort was step free for families with young child on a stroller, people in wheel chairs or people with limited mobility. if one wanted to go to the waterpark, gym, indoor pool , restaurants not near the main part of the resort, the buggy drivers were very happy to take and bring you back. I would like to specially thank Konstantina, the reservation agent. We were communicating before my trip about my special needs and dietary requirements. She met all my requirements and more. Dimitra helped us to book the other restaurants. Eleni with her broad smile was always ready to welcome everyone at the main restaurant. George, Maria and super charming Stella at the main restaurant were always ready to serve us. Stella knew exactly which drinks we liked and only asked if we would like the same drinks. Ionna and Maria in the food court served us always with a smile, hand made ice creams, fruit juices or smoothies.. Theofanis at Pithos restaurant welcomed us both times and always asking us how he or his team can make our dinner a pleasant experience. The buggy drivers Mario and his team were very polite and calmly waiting for us to get in and off the buggies and if they saw us ready to get back to main hotel when on other jobs, always asked us to wait or even reverse to take us. Anne our room maiden cleaned our room and always asked us if all was fine and if we needed anything.

We are currently staying at the Creta Maris Resort. Myself and my 15year old daughter have come away for a 10 night stay. It is absolutely brilliant here. We are having an amazing holiday. We booked a Mountain View room and are not disappointed. Our room is 515 and we’re in one of the bungalows. Yes it would have been nice to have a sea view or pool view, but we’re only in our room to get ready and then to sleep, so a Mountain View was not a priority. There is so much to do on this resort. Plenty of pools and sun beds and also right on the beach. One tip I’d say if you’re coming to this resort is to bring beach shoes. There’s a lot of rocky areas as you walk out in the sea. Also bring snorkel equipment as there are loads of little fish to see. The food is outstanding. As well as 2 buffet restaurants there are also a la carte restaurants that are included free of charge. The food is 5* quality and you can have as much as you like. The scenery around the hotel is beautiful. They offer a professional photographer to take you out in the evenings and capture special memories. Yes it is a little pricey, but worth every penny. There is also water sports on the beach to experience. We did the jet skis. It was 50 euros for 15 minutes. Overall this has been the best holiday we’ve been on. We’re already planning to come back next year with more of our family. If you’re undecided about coming here, please don’t be.

Excellent for families but also for adults, you can find something for everyone. Restaurants and bars are among the best i have experienced at a resort. I had a deep tissue massage with Dimitry and that i highly reccommend. October is a giod month to visit, as it is not corwded
