Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"It has been one of the best resort experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. A special thank you to Aman, Sofia, Effie, Fotini, and Claudia at the front desk for making our first visit to Crete so welcoming and memorable. We'd also like to thank Chef Stelvio, Chef Eva, Christian, and the restaurant team. I have a gluten allergy, and Chef Stelvio took the time to explain the food labels and even noticed that I had chosen something that wasn't gluten-free before I ate it. That level of care, along with Chef Eva's attentiveness, made me feel safe and able to truly enjoy every meal. The sea is close by , two beautiful swimming pools and the staff also have many excursion options available for booking at the front desk. The beautiful resort, exceptional service, and genuine kindness of the entire staff made this an unforgettable stay. We can't wait to come back and will gladly recommend the Peninsula Resort to our family and friends!"

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I arrived late in the evening due to a flight delay and on entry the hotel initially felt a little soulless, but the staff changed my mind instantly. Proper five star hospitality. I was immediately offered a glass of water and was automatically upgraded as a silver member. I felt welcome very quickly and this continued throughout my stay. Rooftop pool area is nice and quiet (no thumping music). Generally an understated and private place to stay and a great location for exploring Heraklion on foot. Would stay again."

8/10 Good

"Lovely resort, that’s like a smaller version of IKOS - minus the all inclusive and certain extra touches. Scenic resort right by the beach. Of the three à la carte restaurants on site, Almyra is the best. We didn’t enjoy the food at other spots. Service across the restaurants is great - with some lovely staff. We noticed some of the older staff (particularly at the buffet restaurant) weren’t the most welcoming and struggle the smile. The rooms were cleaned promptly every morning. We found reception/room service quite slow to deliver water/replenish glasses in the room and had to call multiple times for our order to arrive. The beach shack is really cool, great staff and lovely cocktails. If you’re looking for a resort with minimal brits abroad, this is the perfect option. Very European clientele, many young families like ours, all very friendly and wanting to have a chat. I would definitely recommend but to be aware of some of the cons I mentioned above - particularly if you’re used to IKOS resorts."

Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning all-inclusive place with exceptional food and customer service. Rooms were meticulously cleaned, The beach was incredible and the restaurants had different themed food days throughout the week. The Spa is also something that must be experienced as the Cretan message is unique on its own.-We were really able to unwind and enjoy after hopping the islands. Highly recommended!"

Bella Beach - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We are having a wonderful stay at Bella Beach Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff have been friendly, welcoming and very helpful. We had a small issue with our original room, and the team listened to our concerns. They kindly upgraded us to a room with a much better sea view and even helped move all of our luggage, which we really appreciated as we are travelling with a baby and a toddler. The food has been very good, with plenty of choice at every meal, and the hotel is clean, well maintained and in a great location right by the beach. A big thank you to the reception and all the staff for their excellent customer service. They made us feel valued and helped make our holiday even more enjoyable. We would happily recommend Bella Beach Hotel and would love to return in the future."
