I again want to recommend this beautiful hotel to everyone visiting Crete! I’m writing this review on the last evening of our wonderful stay and both my daughter and me are sad to be leaving. This was our second stay at Creta Marine Iberostar and again it did not dissappoint. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful from the reception to the gardeners. I want to mention especially Snizhana who welcomed us at the restaurant every day and made everyone feel special and Konstantinos the maitre D and Alexandros Petros who waited on us at our table at the buffet restaurant Dios. The food was very good and everything very clean. The rooms are beautiful with view of the sea. The animation is very good and their shows are even better. A special mention for Jacques who took my daughter under his wings, Rafa for the friendly chats and for making us feel at home, and last but not least to Tony, Stacey, Nadya and the rest of their crew who made us laugh until we were crying! Thank you again guys for the perfect holiday from Peter and Britt❤️❤️❤️
We spent 9 wonderfull days in Iberostar Creta Marine. The hotel, renovated in 2024, is very comfortable with 3 swimming pools & direct access to personal beach, with sport devices & Spa, nice food and great view on the Aegee sea. The Kappa Club team made it even better : the animators Cassandra & Allan with Manager Anne. Great welcome and cultural animations. Thanks! The hotel deserves its 5* and we may come back.
Christos gave an amazing massage and brilliant therapy. 10/10
Had a lovely couples massage from Dimitra. She was great at asking the pressure. She made me so relaxed that I feel asleep.
Sylvia also gave my daughter a kids spa, and she was so caring because of my daughter's eczema. Thank you
We have just got back from 10 days at the Creta Marine & had a fantastic time. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We had evening meals at both the Italian and Greek restaurant which were both amazing! We tended to have lunch at the Italian or from the food truck which were also great. Big shout out to the animation team, they kept everyone entertained during the day, a big shout out to Jack who ran the teenage age group during the day, our son had a great time and didn’t want to leave!! We went to the beach party which was great fun, the guys put a lot of effort in making sure everyone was happy and entertained!
