“Fantastic hotel all round”

I can’t speak positively enough about this hotel.

I can’t speak positively enough about this hotel. We came as a family of 4 with a 4 year old and a 20 month old and everything about the hotel is so carefully thought about and children are really really well considered. The pools are lovely with the main pool being big enough to swim lengths etc and have plenty of room when it’s busy and the children’s pool was fantastic for our girls and I’d imagine children up to at least 10-12. There’s a mini Astro to play football on and the steps down to the beach right next to the pools. On the beach there’s a dedicated play space with a climbing frame. The kids club was fab, indoor and outdoor space one for babies and then one for 4-12 year olds. Our little girl did crafts, had face paint and made mini pizzas as well as playing games. She’s very very shy and they were so gentle and kind with her that she wanted to go back again and again. The food was phenomenal, lots of choice at each meal and rotation of meals - no evening or lunch was the same twice in a row. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff. Every single staff member, whether they worked behind the desk or cleaned or worked in the restaurant or the kids club etc greeted us with a smile and had a chat etc and showed a lot of patience towards our children. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space - you never feel like you’re on top of other guests. The whole hotel is spotlessly clean indoor and outdoor. I did read another review which said the Mountain View isn’t great. To be honest, it’s not - it overlooks a car park with the mountains behind however we didn’t pay extra for this and could’ve paid extra if we wanted a sea view. We didn’t travel to sit in our room though so really didn’t mind about the view! All in all, we loved our stay in this superb hotel, would rate it 10/10 and will return.

So we stayed here for 7 nights in August as a family of 15, age ranges 2-78 and wow did it cater for all of us. We arrived late at night and was quickly checked in, food available in the restaurant. The hotel was so clean and modern, great sized room for one adult and two teenage boys with a divider door. The food was probably the best I’ve ever had at an all inclusive. Great variety and small portions cooked fresh. It may mean that you may have to wait a few minutes as massive portions wasn’t always put out. Cocktails were also lovely and fairly strong, even aperol spritz included. Pool areas again very clean and the splash pool was great for the little ones. Water polo takes place in the pool in the afternoons. Always plenty of sunbeds available although we did get there early as there was a big group of us. The beach which was attached to the hotel was lovely. Again lots of sunbeds and umbrellas at no extra charge. A beach bar on the beach which you could use as part of the all inclusive. The sea was so calm and clear and would definitely recommend taking snorkels as there were lots of fish. Paddleboards and jet skis available at extra cost. I can’t really comment on the kids clubs or evening entertainment as we didn’t use this and preferred to sit outside and play games/cards. There was always lots of areas to sit in the evenings. We ate at the seaview restaurant one night which again was lovely, would definitely recommend the lamb. We checked out late in the evening so used the courtesy rooms to shower. Again lovely and clean and no extra charge. Overall we had a lovely time and would 100% recommend. If I had to be really picky and find a negative it would be : *transfer time is quite long (80minutes) *drinks wasn’t included in the themed restaurants (I’ve never known this before) *the view from the Mountain View room was awful….. take from that what you will x

Huge thank you to Petra Mare Hotel for making my 40th celebrations so special . Special mention to Maria on reception for liaising with my Husband to order a cake, balloons and flowers. The set up was absolutely lovely on the evening of my birthday . We had a lovely stay. Would highly recommend for families. Rooms and clean and tidy and the food is ample. Also a special mention to the Captain and his beautiful Niece for all the amazing water sports available and at such a reasonable price. We loved it all. Crete is beautiful, we hope to return to explore more of this beautiful island 🩵 xxx
