Le cadre, le personnel sympathique, à l’écoute et bienveillant, les buffets copieux et variés, la possibilité de manger aux restaurants de l’hôtel.
Les grosses pierres sur la plage et dans l’eau à certains endroits, la période d’arrivée en masse des vacanciers, niveau sonore très élevé aux buffets, nous avons choisi la bonne période pour notre séjour.

Eine wunderschöne Anlage mit gepflegten Garten, meheren Pools und kleinen Stränden. Vom Zimmer bis zu den Pools alles sehr sauber. Das Essen ließ nichts zu wünschen übrig, große Auswahl, abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker. Die Mitarbeiter des Hotels waren auf allen Ebenen ausgesprochen freundlich.
Es gab keine Fliegengitter aber viele Mücken. So haben wir nachts statt der frischen Meerluft die Luft aus der Klimaanalage geatmet. Die Betten waren mir etwas zu weich. Der Innenpool wurde gerade renoviert. Gut das es draußen warm genug war.
4.0 / 5.0
The staff is super friendly and speaks, besides English, French, German and Spanish. Our room was amazing: big and very modern (the light switches were electronic / touch).
The food was good but it could have more variety thoughout the days.
I think it isn't a hotel for young couples, because of the animation program and the whole vibe. Also the afternoon snacks almost non-existent
4.5 / 5.0
Resort stretched within well kept beautiful mediterranean garden with big variety of palms, trees, bushes and flowers. We chose one of sheltered lagoons for perfect sea swim in calm water. One could also swim out into the unsheltered area and enjoy floating in the waves or snorkelling as some guests did. Free sunbeds and umbrellas available on the beach. Nice pools which we didn´t take advantage of though as we prefer the sea. Friendly staff and tasty food for breakfasts and dinners, for these with daily varied offer. We enjoyed a relaxing week at sea.
We took advantage of beach bar above the lagoon for drinks such as frappé, cola, lemonade and beer, but missed an offer of fruit or vegetable bowls or salads or some simple dishes (here there were just some sandwiches or pastries). There is a great offer of these for b´fast and dinner, but some would be appreciated at the beach bar also during the day.
4.0 / 5.0
1. Stuff is very friendly, especially in main restaurant!
2. Nice view from balcony (of my room:)
3. Quite rich breakfast and dinner
4. good animation program
5. room is big enogh for 2 adults family with one child. There is a space even for luggedge
6. good smart home solution to manage light and air condition
1. lack of sand beach - only with stones
2. Parking located too far from the entrance (for my point of view). Need to dropp off luggedge, then re-park a car and then return back again to make a check-in. The same during checkout
3. When I checked-in to my room, I found out that there is a jacuzzi inside, but it doesn't work. When I came to the reception, they said that its activation will take a lot of time (about the whole night). And because I stayed only for 2 nights, it didn't make sence - but if I could know about this option beforehand, I would agree to pay extra 52 euro to have it activated when I checked-in to the room
4. No anti-moskito net on balcony door or repellent inside the room
5. Bodyguard in main pool doesn't speak english at all
6. Towel station works very short period of time with a break for lunch
4.5 / 5.0
Meals provided were of a high standard and the layout of the complex was easy to navigate.
Traveling by car, the directions could have been more clear as the facility was outside Rethymnon. Also the car park was some distance away and not easily accessable

Hotel was nice, rooms totally renovated, alot of choice at brakefast, allot of activities. There is a dresscode for dinner!!!! Grate for people who stay in one location
The location it was a bit remote, the staff will call you up in your room to ask how the room is, verry annoying if you are sleeping at that time.Because of the renovations, we had no mirror in the bathroom.... if you don't respect the dress code at dinner they will annoy you.

5.0 / 5.0
The whole place is exceptional in quality, service. look and feel. Excellent variety and quality of food. Terrific facilities and landscaped surroundings, easy to navigate and lots of choice (pools/beaches/etc). We were upgraded to the 'Presidential Suite' from 2 Waterfront bungalows - hugely appreciated. Its one of the best resorts we've (parents + two children (16/21)) ever visited.
Of special note, the Animation team are incredibly professional, hard working and seriously talented. The Animation evening entertainment in the Theatre was also of a really high standard, far exceeding other similar events. Non 'Animation' / 'external' shows were far less successful however. The onsite Animation team should be cherished.
The bar in the Creta Marine would function much better in the evening if the lights were dimmed / lessened to create a more relaxing environment. Having high light levels doesn't support the function of the bar at this time. It would also then relate better to the external terrace area and be more cohesive and appropriate.
The separation of the Panorama from the Marine seems a little artificial. Flexibility between the two 'sister' facilities would make more sense. Reasons given were regarding Covid restrictions, but this didn't really make sense. Not a major issue and may be driven by other factors not understood.
Small point - the main general shop in the Creta Marine seems to be missing an opportunity to be better and more comprehensively stocked. It has a captive audience but felt slightly 'skeletal' in its offer.

territory, location, food, stuff
Awful hairdryer. Doesn’t work at all, most annoying that there is no power socket in a bathroom so it’s impossible to use your own hairdryer as well.
4.5 / 5.0
Spacious room, great sea views.
Varied and delicious breakfast and dinner.
Friendly and professional staff.
Private beach, clean and calm (no waves)
Excellent entertainment staff
The shower wetted the entire bathroom, and we had to wipe it again and again.
3.5 / 5.0
There are 2 hotels Iberostar, close situated, on a surface of many hectares, situated on a large rock near the sea, consisting of a main building and many bungalows Greek-houses type. Most of the tourist came from France and Germany, half of them over 65 y old. Good position, very clean, nice pools, small beaches available, green and flowers everywhere. Some people from the staff try to do their best
A lot of reasons why I will not come back:
1.I have payed half-board. For dinner they didn't give anything to drink, except for all inclusive, and bottled water was at the price of 1.5 l Diesel !!!. Their wine was of low quality. Despite asking for long trousers at dinner, half of the people came in shorts and tongs. Reservations were needed for the table, however nobody respected them - the only thing working for a table on the terrace was tipping the waiter. Guys from grill/roast sector should be sent back to cuisine school.
2. Electricity was working in the rooms only when a magnetic device connected to the key was there. This means most of the day no fridge, no A/C, no charging of cell phones and tablets. I asked for one such spare device - answer was no for reasons of "economy"
3. Low offer of Tv channels, only 50 of them, among which half non functional. BTW some 3-4 Russian channels, among them Rossya24
4. Wifi working good in the main building, erratic in the bungalows and near the pools
5. Entertainment...??? maybe due to the start of the season

4.5 / 5.0
This is a quiet location with not much of interest in the area, but there is plenty to do in the hotel/resort. It covers a large area with lovely gardens and grounds. The buffet food was very good.
The beds were very hard and uncomfortable. We do not like having a shower over the bath, it is not safe stepping in and out . Water ran hot and cold intermittently.
