I had an amazing experience at this hotel with great food options and a lovely atmosphere. The spacious rooms and variety of pools made it easy to relax, although the room I received was a bit further from the beach than I'd hoped. Overall, it's a fantastic resort, but a little further walking might be a consideration for families with small kids.

The resort offers a unique experience with its spacious accommodations and family-friendly atmosphere. The animation team and staff all contribute to a warm ambience, and the well-maintained grounds are delightful. Although the dining options could use improvement in quality, the variety is commendable. The pools are decent but not extraordinary, and the beach area could be cleaner, which slightly detracts from the overall experience.

My stay at the Creta Maris resort was fantastic! The atmosphere was vibrant and the layout was charming, resembling a Cretan village. The staff went above and beyond, especially in the dining areas, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Although the food options at certain restaurants were limited, the quality was outstanding. The diverse pools were a big hit, but it was a bit chaotic at times, especially around the waterslide area. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I look forward to returning.

I had a fantastic stay at the resort! The atmosphere was vibrant with multiple pools and dining options. The staff was incredibly attentive, making our time even more pleasant. While the dining room, especially the breakfast, could use a bit more variety, the overall quality of food was excellent. The bungalows were spacious and cozy, though some slight noise from the entertainment area was noticeable at night. Overall, great value for a family vacation!
