The only good things about the resort are the staff who tirelessly keep it running smoothly, and are super friendly; and the location which has nice views. There's a small public beach nearby as well. Everything else was average at best. The food gave my partner food poisoning on our last night there. Our room had a very inconvenient layout. The toilet was right behind the bed's headboard with no exhaust or ventilation - and you cannot flush TP at this resort. We got spa services which were quite nice and again, the staff was great, but the spa area itself smelled bad and was not very clean. We stayed at multiple other smaller hotels in Greece and had much much better experiences. I would avoid this resort unless you're absolutely sold on the all inclusive idea. The pictures of the amenities and common areas are a lot nicer than their condition in real life.

Property is quite isolated which was fine for what we wanted but if you’re not here to relax it might not be ideal. There are some stunning views from the hotel, we did have a private pool but unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side and we didn’t get much use but still enjoyed the views. The staff are very friendly and helpful, they do respond to issues very quickly for example our bathroom window wouldn’t close but maintenance was at our room in less than 30 minutes to fix. The food was excellent and the buffet was different each night which was nice.

They get instagrammers there for free and give them a luxury experience to promote but it’s not like that for the real paying guests. Wrote a lengthy detail review as to why on Google. Expedia only has a certain amount of characters & no way to cut down how awful & fake this resort is. My advice, please do your research before you get fooled by the gram. Plenty of other wonderful places in Crete to stay at

Honeymoon stay for 6 nights. Overall a good hotel. Had a great room with private pool overlooking the water which we really didn't leave most of the trip, Well worth the extra money for this type of room after seeing the rest of the property layout. Staff were all exceptional and friendly. It did lack however in the drinks category. Very weak selection of cocktails at the bars and the drinks themselves aren't that great and very small. One issue I really had is that the All-Inclusive really isn't all-inclusive. They have 3 restaurants on property but these are only inclusive with a 7+ night stay. We however stayed 6 nights and if we wanted to do these restaurants it is $25 per person and then regardless of length of stay you have to pay for cocktails/wine which is unlike any all-inclusive I have stayed. The buffet was really good however which saved it for us (the pizza maker at brick oven makes an awesome pizza). One must do is go down the the Tavern (last one on the right) at the beach it is incredible. Overall it was a good stay but wouldn't quite give it the 5 star it is rated. Definitely room for improvement.

Would be good to have more sun loungers- get rid of the bean bag loungers, they look dirty and probably have a lot of mould in them. There were a few areas that need a bit of health and safety review- wobbly railings, gaps in fence on a ledge. Beautiful location, rooms were nice, restaurants were lovely, staff FANTASTIC.

Nice choice for couples
This hotel is very nice for lazing by the pool and an unrushed feeling of relaxation. There are few children - understandably as it's on a hillside and there are many places that children could fall off of barriers/sides of pools etc. This means the general feeling of the hotel is quite grown up and it was particularly quiet. It's also not suitable for those with mobility issues due to the hills. The rooms are nicely furnished, the beds and bedding are very comfortable and good quality. We heard every single bit of noise from our neighbours through the (closed) patio doors. We couldn't hear anything else, just the sea and the parties in the room/balcony next door. The room with shared pool is completely worth the extra cost. I loved rolling out of bed into my sun lounger. The restaurant is nice, lots of choice for all, but for vegetarians you'll find very few 'main' choices and will be relying on salads etc. The beach is quite dull but with a car you can hop along to any of the pretty local beaches. You will need a car if you want to go anywhere from the hotel. Overall, we would return, and would recommend this hotel.

The beach should not be mentioned! it is to small and even off-season crowded. For the long chairs you have to pay 3.50 Euros. There are several pools, one for kids and one for adults. The long chairs are reserved early in th morning…! too small considering that the beach is not what could be expected.

Lovely hotel with great views and close to beach.
Overall we had a great stay at the Seaside resort. The views were fantastic and there is two beaches nearby. The sea view room we had was beautiful right next to the sea and very quiet. The hotel had two pools, an action pool and an adults only pool with a bar which is great if you want some quiet time. Would recommend hiring a car as the area is quite isolated, which is good if you aren’t looking to go clubbing. The food was fantastic, large selection on the buffet, which is good if you are a vegetarian. They was also other specialists restaurants, however we never used as the buffet food was always great. Would recommend going full board as it includes alcohol drinks and snacks, we decided to upgrade towards the end of the holiday. There was some good entertainment such as folklore dancing night and a pool party. The staff were exceptional good they where always very accommodating and friendly.

Sea Side Resort and Spa
The hotel is beautiful, perched upon a hill side, commanding fantastic views over the sea. The location does mean that there are plenty of steps and hills but the hotel does offer a 'golf buggy' service if you are too relaxed to walk. The hotel whilst full didn't seem to be too busy and had the benefit of an adults only pool for a more relaxing break. The hotels food was varied with plenty of choice but like most all-inclusive hotels did seem a little repetitive after several days. There was also the choice of 3 excellent a la carte restaurants available. The 'entertainment' was a little poor but personally enjoyed the quiet evenings by the bar overlooking the sea with a few cocktails. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel but could be better.
We booked a junior suite with a sea view and it was 100% worth it! We were upgraded to a room with a private pool and the experience was just incredible. (As a side note, it’s definitely worth booking a nicer room. On our last day we wanted to keep the room until 6pm and therefore were moved to a much more basic room. Had we had a room like this from the start of our holiday we definitely wouldn’t have had as nice a time. It was very basic and not as fresh and modern as the newer rooms). The only problem with the room was that the floor always felt dirty or covered in sand and we never felt like we had clean feet. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The thalassa pool was lovely, comfortable and very relaxing however the drinks were definitely better from the pelagos bar because they weren’t as watered down. The most disappointing part about the hotel was the food. Breakfast was ok, lunch was definitely better in Pelagos instead of the main restaurant and dinner was of poor quality and pretty much always the exact same food. The Taverna restaurant wasn’t our favourite. Jasmine was ok. But the kullinarium was lovely and with beautiful views overlooking the sea. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel and would return however not until the food has improved. 4* maximum overall.

Beautiful hotel with great sea views
From the time we arrived, to the date of our departure we found all the staff to be friendly, helpful and nothing was too much for them. The hotel itself was great. Lovely sea views. Wish we had booked the shared pools. We were very envious. That said, we spent most days at the adult pool bar. Time to chill and relax. The quality of the food at the main buffet was superb, very varied and excellent quality. The restaurants were all lovely. Got to try the Jasmine and Kullinarium restaurants. Easily our favourites. Took a taxi to neighbouring Agia Pelagia beach. Had a great day at the beach, with lots a bars and taverna's. Great prawns and lovely wine at Le Gourmet. Really nice family run restaurant. Overall we had a fab time.

Nice enough but wouldn’t go back
Good room, nice size. I think we were in one of the newer ones. Adult pool was nice although salt water. The children pool looked old and outdated, with loud (bad) music playing on very poor speakers. Again salt water pool. Food was ok, although the buffet was very much the same every time (lunch and dinner) which made it a little boring after day three. They had theme nights which didn’t really translate to the buffet as it looked and tasted same. Lot of miscommunication with reception like no baby cot on arrival, forgot to bring and pick up luggage. Taxi issues and unhelpful when we asked to get water as housekeeping didn’t show up that day. Housekeeping very flakey. Waiting staff extremely friendly and nice.

Good panoramic views, although somewhat remote. Rooms are basic, although clean and functional (Junior suite). The food in the main buffet restaurant could be hotter & the quality of the meats/main course better. The a la carte restaurants were much better, especially the Asian restaurant.Staff were friendly and helpful. Entertainment could also be better. All in all for us it was a nice relaxing break. I would recommend hiring a car, which is very good value at 100 euros for 3 days all inclusive & no hidden extras.

Amazing views and friendly people
This was my first time staying at this hotel and island, me and my husband had an amazing time. From the time we arrived we were met by friendly and a warm welcoming staff. The food was great, the rooms were clean, the beach was just a quick walk down a path or by taking the hotel elevator. I was very satisfied with my stay and would love to go back there in the future.

Good value all inclusive
If you like all inclusive hotels, then this is ideal. Good range of food, including 3 a la carte restaurants. 2 of which you can dine at once during your stay and the third is chargeable, but we had a lovely lobster meal there. We ate at the Tripadvisor No.1 restaurant, Taverna Bar Vasilis, which was 5 mins walk where we had such a good meal that we went twice. We hired a car from the airport at €119 for the week and this was useful even just for the airport transfers (we were quoted €45 each way), as we went to the next bay to hire a boat for 3 hours (Blue Water Club) which would have been to far a walk. It's very disappointing that people reserved the sun beds with their towels in the best locations prior to eating their breakfast, despite their being a rule not to. All in all a very good value holiday.

nice hotel, very relaxing
We stayed here for a 4 night break. Our room was really nice. A 2 storey apartment very modern. The resort was clean and the staff nice enough. Not a practical resort for people with walking issues as it built into the side of hill. There are ramps around but would be hard going. The drinks are premier brands.eg Smirnoff, Gordon's etc. There are nice touches like crisps and popcorn available in the afternoon as well as the regular snacks. My only moan would be the food. A big choice of food but not a great selection plus it was barely warm. We opted for the omelettes at breakfast because they was freshly made and the kebabs or carvery for the same reason. Generally a nice hotel in a quite location.

Great relaxing trip
Overall the trip was awesome, nice service, food and entertainment. The only problem was that we ordered a room with a shared pool and the pictures on the site don't represent all the shared pool rooms. We got a room with a sea view balcony but the pool wasn't sea view and wasn't so nice as the one shown on the site. Only after we talked with the reception they helped us and moved us the next day to the room we wanted. I recommend to send them e-mail when ordering the room to ensure you get the one shown here in the photos.
