The property is located on a beach with good facilities. The pools are lovely and the resort was very peaceful even though there were a lot of families with kids including ours. The food was good but the best part - the staff. They were simply excellent. Very kind, courteous, friendly and the famous Cretan hospitality shines through. Would definitely go again.

We had a wonderful stay with a room that looked out directly on to the beach – perfect! The pool was lovely and clean. We enjoyed breakfast a lot, especially because they had dietary information and gluten free bread available for me! The star of the holiday was the a-la carte restaurant, Onirókipos, though, because the food was incredible and the service fantastic. Can't fault our stay!

We really enjoyed out stay in this hotel! The bets thing about it is the people - we were made to feel welcome and everyone working here was atentive and warm and made us feel super welcome! (Thanks for all those extra treats - fruit, coffee, ouzo!). The food is lovely and fresh, the pool was incredible and the beach and sea beautiful. We were walking distance to different restaurants and shops, and it was easy to go to Knossos too. A fantastic stay! Thank you!

Beautiful design that was quaint, cozy, and welcoming. Onsite services were great, but we actually spent a lot of time traveling all over the island, and Civitel Creta Beach helped us with transportation throughout the entire journey.

Everything was absolutely amazing! Whether you want to stay on resort and enjoy the amenities, or traverse the beautiful island that is Crete, Civitel Creta Beach is your spot!

A very nice hotel. The food at breakfast and dinner was superb! Our room was very clean. Lots of sun loungers by the pool and on the beach. They gym equipment on the beach is in poor condition which is a shame, as is the mini golf course. Also, on our final day we wanted to have the early breakfast at 0630. Unfortunately, staff only opened the breakfast room at 0640 and therefore we only had 10 minutes to eat as we needed to leave for the airport. Overall, a very good hotel and staff were very friendly.

Honestly had the best time at this hotel. We loved the really varied buffet and also devoured the dessert buffet omg so good every night. The rooms were cute little mini-villas with a terrace that felt like you were in a pretty tropical garden. Lots of birds and butterflies on the grounds. We arrived late but there were still staff to greet us and there was even a goody bag with fruit and a sandwich. Super convenient to get to from the airport and then there was a bus stop right outside or you could easily walk westwards and get to the trails by the Almiros Gorge which had so much wildlife. You could step straight onto the beach with a dedicated lounger area and they provided towels to use on the beach. Our room had a fridge which was such a blessing to keep milk in as we are keen tea drinkers! All in all we had such a nice stay. I’d recommend the bus tour to chania and lake kournas which you can organise using one of the companies along the main road and they’ll pick you up from the hotel.

We checked in July 11 around 2pm. They gave us a room for 3 even though in the records they had us for 2 and paid the extra charge. The room bangalow style looked rather old, there were aunts in the floor and AC unit was not working properly. It had a piece of tape on one site which I took a photo. We notified the reception about the aunts and AC and a lady came and sprayed around. They promised to take care of the AC. We thought they would and went to the beach. We came back and the AC was still bringing hot air. The phone in the room was not working and every time we need to contact the reception we had to walk in the hotter sun for about 500 meters. They said no problem we will check and fix the AC. We went out and came back 11pm. The room was awfully hot and had to walk back to the reception and this time yelled at them that this is unacceptable. They told us that they will move us to another room and gave us the keys but under the condition that we need to walk back and bring the old keys back to them. Instead of apologizing they appeared that they were doing us a favor and us moving to a proper room with AC working was conditional to bringing the card keys of the first room back. In addition they offered no help to transport our luggage to the room was not next door but to walk around to find it. The new room had no light working outside and took us sometime to find it. The new room was a bit bigger, clean and the AC was working fine. We did waste however one night.

The checkin was terrible due to a discrepancy between the booking with Expedia and the resort. Expedia was quick to provide info to the resort but the resort wouldn’t accept the information. We spent 2 hours at the checkin counter and asked to have a room and then I continued to work on getting a resolution, which didn’t happen until the next day. Gianni’s at the front desk was terrible, rude and disrespectful! However the other staff were very friendly at the buffet restaurant and at the bar pool. Mario at the bar was excellent! The room was very clean. Thongs were not fully open and so the a la cart restaurant was not available for us to book during our 3 night stay, there were no shows or theme restaurant available. The beach is beautiful, you can walk for miles in both directions but it was difficult to find a chair that wasn’t dirty, lots of bird poop. The buffet restaurant food was great but they have set hours for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so food is not available 24/7 as an all inclusive, I am used to having that service. We played mini putt golf and it was fun even though it is in rough shape. Ball went into the hole and never came out so we had to go and ask for another ball! We went out to a Thalassina Aura restaurant across the street and they had live entertainment and was a lot of fun! Crete is a beautiful island and would highly recommend!

This hotel is absolutely phenomenal in every way. The gardens are immaculate and well maintained, the pool is great and lots of parasols and sun loungers and the private beach is also great. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and the food is absolutely delicious and you have a lovely view of the sea at meal times. I can't recommend this place enough. Suitable for everyone and only a 10 minute taxi from Heraklion airport and you can book the transfer through the hotel. The facilities are amazing; lots of activities throughout the day like aqua zumba, yoga, mini golf, table tennis, volleyball etc etc. So many things to do - I even did a Greek lesson! 10/10 and would stay here every time.

This is a beautiful resort, not too big, right by the sea. It has a lovely sandy beach, with sun beds and umbrellas. At the time we were there, it was not crowded.
The rooms in the bungalow were clean & spacious. It was also fairly quiet.
It’s clear the season is new and this was apparent in the gardens which needed attention. This is perhaps my only criticism. There is potential for them to look way better once they’ve been attended to.
The staff were attentive and helpful. Special mention to George at reception as well as Eva. They were very helpful to us. The hotel manager (maitre) was also always very helpful to us when we needed it.
We travelled for my cousins birthday and we got some complimentary alcohol & sweets in our room. This was very thoughtful and we appreciated it.
I managed to get my upgrade to a bungalow as well as late checkout as I’m an Expedia VIP member.
An altogether very good stay.

My husband and I spent a week at Creta Beach. As the hotel had just opened for the season a few days ago, we were effectively the only guests. A few school groups of teenagers were there, but were gone during the day and only kept us up one night.

Check in was very easy, we were upgraded to a garden view bungalow as we were on our honeymoon. It was a lovely surprise, and much appreciated! The room was very spacious and clean.

Due to our timing, the hotel wasn’t completely set up yet, which was a little disappointing. We still had a very relaxing time, and received superior service in all aspects. The dining staff, especially Marios the bartender and the maître d’hotel were outstanding. The food was always delicious, varied, and well presented. We were often the only guests for lunch, and were cooked our main dish to order. Our one complaint would be the house wine tap lines didn’t seem to have been cleaned out, so there was a lot of sediment in the glasses, and one or two small insects.

All in all, we had a good holiday, and would return again!

Tranquil and relaxing

We spent a lovely week here at the end of Oct.
The staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly.

The weather was not the best, but that didn't put a damper on things.

There was plenty to do to keep you entertained if you wanted to stay on site, board games in the bar area and activities on the beach if you wanted them.

On site food is as you would expect for mid range site trying to cater for lost of people of different nationalities. If not all inclusive eat and drink off site, its a lot cheaper and nicer.
There are lots of places to eat just outside the hotel, but as we were just out of season, most were closed. The ones that were open were all great. Petousis Restaurant 15 min walk (to the right, look for the windmill) do amazing grills and pizza.
Auto Stop across the road do great cocktails.

Don't get car hire from across the road. We were warned by the hotel receptionist, but we did not listen. rubbish battered car and additional charges on our card once we got home. Use the hotel car hire.

Room ok, quiet location

After commenting that we were disappointed with the room we were moved to a nicer one very quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately after having time to settle in we found the bed to be just as uncomfortable (very hard). But even more disappointing was that we had no hot water. After complaining three times we were told to run tap for 15 mins to get hot water. Both thought it ridiculous but we tried and only ever got lukewarm water. Otherwise, staff friendly and food was ok. Hotel was not far from airport but didn't appear to much within walking distance. Think there was a bus that went into the town but we didn't leave hotel.

Bus service NO.6 to city centre was irregular, packed when arrived and took long time due to continuous traffic. We would recommend a walk along the beach to Heraclion centre. Quicker and nicer route. Takes about 35 min.

Hotel bungalows in Mediterranean garden setting

Stayed from 3/8/15 to 15/8/15, all inclusive. Great staff, great facilities, great location, hotel has private beach with a decent number of sunbeds. Although I have food allergies I could have a substantial meal at each sitting, chef being very helpful with advising as to ingredients of each dish. Whether you prefer the beach or the pool for lounging, get out there early as the hotel was predominantly occupied by French and German guests who seem to have an ethos of put your towel on the sunbed and turn up when you like. No disrespect to either nationality but seems to be their norm.

Having said the above about sun beds I can not think of a holiday which was more relaxing than this.

A true misrepresentation!

We are to professionals from New York who came to Crete for a relaxing European vacation. Based o. The pictures on the website I thought the hotel was nice and would be to our liking. When we arrived the staff was accommodating and friendly but the place reminded me of a trailer park. we were told we were being upgraded and when we traveled the dark path to our bungalow I was nervous and concerned. As we opened the door from our cement Parkin, which was poorly lit I felt my anxiety rise. The rooms were minimal with dated finishings. The room I was in did not compare to the rooms that were displayed online. There was a door connecting our room with another room, which was unlocked and At first I thought was a closet. Upon opening it I realized I was walking into someone else's room. We were taken to the cafeteria, as it is an all inclusive and the food was old and unattractive. The wine was hot and the overall feeling of the place was unsettling. We quickly got our bags at left the establishment within 25 minutes of our arrival. We do not recommend this hotel at all.

we went all inclusive for 1st time and found nothing was too much trouble. staff all very good from maids to matre. D. situated as semi detached bungalows with own patio. set in green and well maintained garden setting. pool and beach also well maintained. kids said wifi was ok not great. food was buffet style, think too high good quality staff canteen, plenty of it and refilled quickly and constantly, fresh bread evey meal time, desert bar and salad bar as well as main buffet usually with a fresh grill meat optoin. meals went along loosely themed days ie monday greek night tuesday mediterainian etc. when we got bored of the food we had t bone steakfor 13.95 euro outside , the resturant had a couple of special nights , pool side bbq and al a carte night as well as a pool side snack bar. near airport but all air traffic turned away from resort so no disturbance, we had a car but you can do without one taxi from airport 20euro local cabs 5 euro for couple miles and regular buses into city 1.50 euro each way, ( seem to run 24 hrs). book 3 or 4 excursion from the many care hire places on the strip and all this would still be under the cost of an economy car (just) creta beach is at one end of a strip of local bars shops and resturants. when we were there the site entertainment ( all day evey day and evening shows) is geared towards french and german language, if you ask or get involved english translation will be done, it did not bother us much as we are used to holidays on camp

A calming, comfortable place to stay.

The bungalows were good and laid out with plenty of space and privacy and no sense of sameness - each is different and the whole style of the place is well designed by a thoughtful architect along modern clean lines. Some have been renovated smartly and some which have not yet been renovated are fine .. a bit battered by careless clients, but spotless and cosy. The food is good and plentiful, with a wide selection, particularly in meats, pastries, breads and desserts. There is also a salad bar. An all inclusive holiday will give you three meals a day plus the services of an all day snack bar by the pool and a free bar offering soft drinks, cocktails, various wines and spirits. It's rather like being on a cruise but you're on dry land!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

This was truly the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. This was absolutely not a 4 star hotel. The pictures on their website are completely fabricated. They post numerous photos of food that you CANNOT actually get at this hotel. All meals are a buffet, and not nicely plated meals as shown in the pictures. The bed is probably worse than sleeping on the tile floor. The blankets are disgusting. The walls on the bungalows are paper thin and you can hear everything going on right outside your room (especially if you're close to the amphitheater where they put on nightly entertainment). The nightly entertainment also can result in the hotel blowing a fuse numerous times (leaving you in the dark). The staff is extremely rude (except for Theo - he is the only competent, nice person at the hotel). I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and am extremely upset about it's poor quality.

Nice clean friendly hotel on a popular location

Went for a 4 day break to attend a friend's wedding. The accommodation we stayed in although basic met our needs needs and was spotless - there are more luxurious rooms available but for the price this was very good value.
The beach was less that 30 secs front our front door, the restaurant and pool areas less that a minute. The animation was mostly in French and not too much in your face which was good for us - it was there if you wanted to use it.
You can have lunch at the poolside if you want and the only critique or improvement would be for more food/snacks to be available throughout the day. Not really an issue as the high street and supermarket was a short walk. Enjoyed the stay.

Would stay again

Excellent hotel in well kept gardens. As advertised, conveniently located, really enjoyed my stay. 3 things you should know:
1 - They have a large contingent of French guests for whom they run a lot of loud sessions behind the pool, but you cannot hear this on the beach, sun loungers usually available. My room was next to another hotel which blasted out noise more loudly during the day, although not all the time.
2 - The restaurant was a bit like upmarket school dinners, but nice basic salads and edible food available, you won't go hungry. Soft drinks, beer & wine on tap (wine a bit rough). No probs as a single traveller.
3 - There are some small problems with the rooms: You have to use the room key to lock the door from the inside before putting on the lights & there is not an internal latch. The shower in my room was squeezed into a corner between the sink & loo.

Love French disco music? This is the place for you!

This was the least satisfactory of the 6 hotels we stayed at during our recent trip to Greece. French package tours stop here--which is great if you like loud French disco music until midnight. Otherwise, ask for a room as far from the pool/restaurant as possible.
The water in the rooms is non-potable and the management does not provide bottled water; you have to buy it from a nearby convenience store. They try to nickle and dime you, e.g., there's a safe in the room, but you have to rent the key for 3 Euros/day. The coffee served at breakfast is execrable, and the hot water for to is too cool to be useful.

The best thing about this hotel is the staff, very friendly and ready to help in any way they could! The food is good and having wine and beer included in the meal plan was very convenient. The beach is very nice and well kept. The rooms are clean and spacious but feel a bit \"basic\": no desk, no wake-up clock, no waste paper baskets and the closet and drawers space is quite limited. There are lots of souvenir shops, small grocery stores and restaurants around the hotel, so that is very convenient but that's it. Not much else to go and not in very good shape either.

In die Jahre gekommenes Hotel, saubere Bungalows mit dringendem Renovierungsbedarf im Bad (Duschkopf ohne Halterung, Handtuchstange fällt herunter) Essensauswahl nicht besonders, in Warmhaltebehältern präsentiert. Wenig frische Zubereitung, wenig lokale Küche. Schade! Minibar im Zimmer (all inclusive!) enthält nur Wasser und zu Beginn zwei Limonaden und wird nicht nachgefüllt. Safe muss für €3 pro Tag zusätzlich bezahlt werden, man erhält einen Schlüssel, unpraktisch! Insgesamt stimmte für mich das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis nicht und den \"Umgangston\", z.B. \"bei Verlust des Badetuchs Gebühr von 15€\" kenne ich so nicht.

Fint overnatningssted i udkanten af Heraklion med busstop lige ved indgangen. Store værelser med terraseByder på mange forskellige aktiviteter, som minigolf og tennis, godt for børnefamilier. Lækkert med en stor pool med direkte adgang til stranden. God morgenmadsbuffet, aftensmadsbuffeten var medium.

Es gibt zwei Vorteile im Civitel Creta Beach: die renovierten, schönen Premium Bungalows und die tolle Lage direkt am Strand. Begrüßung hätte etwas ausführlicher sein können (z.B. Erklärung Essenszeiten/Leistung All inclusive, Vorstellung der Hotelanlage etc…).

Das Essen (Angebot und Atmosphäre) hat uns nicht gut gefallen. Als All inclusive Gast erhält man noname Sirup Getränke im Pappbecher, die geschmacklich leider enttäuschend sind. Das Essen kann in buffetform (Kantinenfeeling) entweder in einem großen Speisesaal oder einer Terrasse (begrenzte Sitzmöglichkeiten) eingenommen werden.

Wir konnten an einem der Abende kostenfrei (Getränke mussten bezahlt werden) das Premium Restaurant neben der Rezeption nutzen. Die Speisen dort und der Service waren hervorragend. Unbedingt ausprobieren.

Fazit: Das Hotel eignet sich für Urlauber, die den Fokus auf Strand und ein schönes Zimmer legen und sich ggf. außerhalb verpflegen. Zur Wahrheit gehört jedoch auch dass wir Gäste gesehen haben, denen es scheinbar gut geschmeckt hat :D

Personal super, freundlich & zuvorkommend.
Essen ist okay, Fleisch immer zu lange gebraten. Poolbar top.
Allerdings bei All In nicht alle Cocktails inbegriffen, wie zB Caipi oder Mojito.
Lage ist sehr gut, direkt am Meer & mit dem Bus ist man in 30 Minuten in Heraklion.
Durch die einzelnen Bungalows sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, kein riesiger Hotelkomplex.
Liegen am Pool und am Meer umsonst und immer genug da.

Sehr schöne Hotelanlage mit Privatstrand

Wunderschöne Bungalow-Anlage mit Privatstrand. Frühstück verbesserungswürdig. Strand könnte sauberer sein. Wegbeleuchtungen zwischen den Gebäuden teilweise kaputt und werden nicht zeitnah repariert. Bungalows renoviert, aber Kleinigkeiten müssten erneuert werden (z. B. Duschbrause). Besonders empfehlenswert für Familien mit Kind(ern). Restaurants quasi vor der Türe an der Hauptstraße. Bushaltestelle direkt am Hoteleingang.

Un jour au Covitel Creta Beach.

Sejour très correct et agréable. Nous avons apprécié le calme, l'environnement, la plage, ainsi que la qualité du restaurant Onirokipos qui est dans l'enceinte de l'etablissement. Un seul mais, le reseau wifi de l'hotel ne marche pas toujours et n'est pas securisé: c'est un wifi public.

Nicht ganz klar gewesen ob die All inklusive oder nicht bei der Buchung ersichtlich.

Vor Ort dan erfahren das kein All inklusive bei der Buchung dabei ist.

Strand war sehr schmutzig und aufgeräumt.

Das Rudergerät bei der Fitnessplatform war defekt und konnte nicht genutz werden.

Sehr teuer für Griechenland, z.B ein Ice Tea Dose kostet 4 Euro und im Laden nebendran 1 Euro. Wie au eine Portion Eis kostete 4 Euro, Cafe 4 Euro etc. Fast so teuer wie in der Schweiz.

Personal war sehr freundlich und Provesionell

Die Gartenbewirtschaftung und der Strand im Allgemeinen sehr schön.

Ho soggiornato in questa struttura a metà ottobre con mio marito e mio figlio.
Siamo rimasti estremamente soddisfatti da tutto.
Ottimo cibo ed in grandi quantità, personale cortese e disponibile, struttura recentemente ristrutturata e tenuta in modo impeccabile.
Camera molto spaziosa ed insonorizzata.
Posizione che ti consente comodamente di raggiungere qualsiasi posto.
Nulla da dire, lo consigliamo assolutamente!

From check-in to departure, the hospitality and service were high. Upon arrival, we immediately received a room upgrade and a voucher for a free dinner without asking. We arrived late at the location and the reception was attentive enough to inform us that - if we wanted - we could quickly use the buffet in the restaurant before the kitchen closed. Check-in was possible later. Very nice!

Upon departure we received a nice bottle of Greek olive oil. Other wishes during our stay were also no problem. We even received a packed lunch one day when we visited the city.

In short: super hospitable and it gave us a wonderful holiday feeling.

The only downside was the leaking shower, which meant that the bathroom floor kept getting wet and we had to (unnecessarily) sacrifice a towel every time. Although reported twice, the leak was not resolved during our stay. It caused an inconvenience, but is especially inconvenient for the hotel itself if this is not repaired.

We had an amazing week at Creta beach hotel. We arrived in middle of night and were warm welcomed at the reception. We stayed in a bungalow/little villa which was 5 star experience. Really nice style and spacious. Bathroom amazing too. Location is perfect! It’s AT the beach with private beach for guests, nice swimming pool with bar. Very close to Heraklion to visit but also very central to make trips to other part of the island. Very close to airport. The beautiful mini golf at the hotel is also such a nice activity and looks so cool. We had an outstanding diner at the a la carte restaurant and also diner, lunch and breakfast at the normal/main restaurant was very good! Lot of choice and variation. Very good! Minor detail: the wine of the house was actually also very good..;-)..! But their wine menu is also TOP! Staff is super friendly, nice, helpful (the reception staff is SUPER! The girls and men are so kind and helpful! And so nice for kids too!). Giannis and his bartender team are great too! So friendly and know how to shake the best cocktails!
Overall all staff was really good and friendly and make you feel at home. DEFINITELY recommend this hotel! If you like to wake up AT the beach/sea, ask for the rooms AT the beach. They are situated right at the beach. Really nice!

Personal, Service, Essen und Sauberkeit waren alles super.
Dass man sich in der Anlage aber quasi in einem französisch dominierten Club-Urlaub wiederfindet, erfährt man leider erst vor Ort. Die französische-sprachigen Animationen/ Veranstaltungen dominieren zu stark und stören oft nur, wenn man z. B. abends im Restaurantbereich oder auf dessen Terrasse seine Ruhe haben möchte.
Aus dieser Sicht können wir die Anlage nicht weiterempfehlen.

Bezugnehmend auf den bezahlten Preis waren wir mit der Unterkunft sehr zufrieden. Wir haben ein Upgrade auf 2 Bungalows erhalten und lagen an einem guten Punkt in der Anlage. Leider war die Speisenauswahl für ein 4 Sterne Hotel etwas begrenzt und sehr auf deutsche Touristen ausgelegt. Hier hätten wir uns doch sehr mehr abwechslungsreicheres Essen gewünscht. Man merkt das das Hotel schon etwas älter ist und man sieht es an vielen Stellen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist jedoch das Personal. Alles sehr freundlich und nett. Das Zimmer wurde jeden Tag gut gereinigt und damit waren wir auch sehr zufrieden.

Come rovinare una vacanza!

Per quanto riguarda la struttura e la camera sono sicuramente eccellenti. Purtroppo durante il mio soggiorno il comportamento del personale della struttura ha rovinato la mia breve vacanza: durante una manovra nel parcheggio ho urtato uno scooter parcheggiato dietro la mia auto facendolo cadere. Avendo però constato, insieme al del personale presente, che non c'erano danni mi sono allontanato. Durante tutto il soggiorno e anche al check-out non mi è stato contestato nulla salvo scoprire alla consegna dell'auto noleggiata che ero stato denunciato per aver distrutto uno scooter nel parcheggio. Purtroppo per non perdere il volo di rientro a casa ho dovuto subire il ricatto di accettare ciò che mi veniva contestato. Credo che sia evidente la malafede e la voglia approfittare della situazione da parte di alcuni dipendenti e dell'hotel e della compagnia di autonoleggio.
