9 days B&B Breakfast good with lots of choice. Paid for evening meal once but not worth it so wouldn’t suggest all inclusive. Good beach with lots of free beds & umbrella’s. Pool beds always reserved early so never got to use it but beach good anyway. Beach bungalow could do with updating but was cleaned daily and fresh bedding. Complimentary drinks in room, fridge, storage. Resort clean and tidy. Would recommend.

Civitel Creta Beach was an absolute wonder to stay in. The staff is what really made my experience stand out. I was in the EU for a couple weeks and I stayed here for only a few days and this place was by far the best place I visited. It was very clean and the food was amazing! The staff deserves all the credit for making my experience very special.

Beautiful design that was quaint, cozy, and welcoming. Onsite services were great, but we actually spent a lot of time traveling all over the island, and Civitel Creta Beach helped us with transportation throughout the entire journey. Everything was absolutely amazing! Whether you want to stay on resort and enjoy the amenities, or traverse the beautiful island that is Crete, Civitel Creta Beach is your spot!

We really enjoyed out stay in this hotel! The bets thing about it is the people - we were made to feel welcome and everyone working here was atentive and warm and made us feel super welcome! (Thanks for all those extra treats - fruit, coffee, ouzo!). The food is lovely and fresh, the pool was incredible and the beach and sea beautiful. We were walking distance to different restaurants and shops, and it was easy to go to Knossos too. A fantastic stay! Thank you!

If you stay in Crete you must stay at this resort!!! We were right next to the beach!!! They have plenty of lounge chairs and umbrella’s on the beach. The pool is nice also with lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas. The breakfast buffet is excellent there are so many choices. George at the front desk was amazing. This is a must stay at resort!!!

What a lovely break - we haven’t been on holiday in over 4 years.. this was the perfect one back! It was super relaxing, the all inclusive food was always interesting and had a large range to choose from. The staff (especially in the restaurant) where wonderful I believe his name was Sofkolis (apologies if wrong) was a star, he already knew what drinks we wanted as we were arriving. A lovely place for a relaxing break!

A very nice hotel. The food at breakfast and dinner was superb! Our room was very clean. Lots of sun loungers by the pool and on the beach. They gym equipment on the beach is in poor condition which is a shame, as is the mini golf course. Also, on our final day we wanted to have the early breakfast at 0630. Unfortunately, staff only opened the breakfast room at 0640 and therefore we only had 10 minutes to eat as we needed to leave for the airport. Overall, a very good hotel and staff were very friendly.

Honestly had the best time at this hotel. We loved the really varied buffet and also devoured the dessert buffet omg so good every night. The rooms were cute little mini-villas with a terrace that felt like you were in a pretty tropical garden. Lots of birds and butterflies on the grounds. We arrived late but there were still staff to greet us and there was even a goody bag with fruit and a sandwich. Super convenient to get to from the airport and then there was a bus stop right outside or you could easily walk westwards and get to the trails by the Almiros Gorge which had so much wildlife. You could step straight onto the beach with a dedicated lounger area and they provided towels to use on the beach. Our room had a fridge which was such a blessing to keep milk in as we are keen tea drinkers! All in all we had such a nice stay. I’d recommend the bus tour to chania and lake kournas which you can organise using one of the companies along the main road and they’ll pick you up from the hotel.

From check-in to departure, the hospitality and service were high. Upon arrival, we immediately received a room upgrade and a voucher for a free dinner without asking. We arrived late at the location and the reception was attentive enough to inform us that - if we wanted - we could quickly use the buffet in the restaurant before the kitchen closed. Check-in was possible later. Very nice! Upon departure we received a nice bottle of Greek olive oil. Other wishes during our stay were also no problem. We even received a packed lunch one day when we visited the city. In short: super hospitable and it gave us a wonderful holiday feeling. The only downside was the leaking shower, which meant that the bathroom floor kept getting wet and we had to (unnecessarily) sacrifice a towel every time. Although reported twice, the leak was not resolved during our stay. It caused an inconvenience, but is especially inconvenient for the hotel itself if this is not repaired.

The checkin was terrible due to a discrepancy between the booking with Expedia and the resort. Expedia was quick to provide info to the resort but the resort wouldn’t accept the information. We spent 2 hours at the checkin counter and asked to have a room and then I continued to work on getting a resolution, which didn’t happen until the next day. Gianni’s at the front desk was terrible, rude and disrespectful! However the other staff were very friendly at the buffet restaurant and at the bar pool. Mario at the bar was excellent! The room was very clean. Thongs were not fully open and so the a la cart restaurant was not available for us to book during our 3 night stay, there were no shows or theme restaurant available. The beach is beautiful, you can walk for miles in both directions but it was difficult to find a chair that wasn’t dirty, lots of bird poop. The buffet restaurant food was great but they have set hours for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so food is not available 24/7 as an all inclusive, I am used to having that service. We played mini putt golf and it was fun even though it is in rough shape. Ball went into the hole and never came out so we had to go and ask for another ball! We went out to a Thalassina Aura restaurant across the street and they had live entertainment and was a lot of fun! Crete is a beautiful island and would highly recommend!

The property is located on a beach with good facilities. The pools are lovely and the resort was very peaceful even though there were a lot of families with kids including ours. The food was good but the best part - the staff. They were simply excellent. Very kind, courteous, friendly and the famous Cretan hospitality shines through. Would definitely go again.

We had a wonderful stay with a room that looked out directly on to the beach – perfect! The pool was lovely and clean. We enjoyed breakfast a lot, especially because they had dietary information and gluten free bread available for me! The star of the holiday was the a-la carte restaurant, Onirókipos, though, because the food was incredible and the service fantastic. Can't fault our stay!
