Relaxing Massage
The complimentary massage voucher was a good surprise! I booked a longer session after my initial 15 minutes with Gianna. It was such a treat to unwind and feel completely rejuvenated.

We had a wonderful family holiday at this hotel, enjoying the picturesque surroundings and the beach just steps away. While the overall stay was pleasant, the dining experience had some drawbacks, particularly with the drinks service, and the room's bathroom could use some updates. Despite these issues, the warmth of the staff and the nice beach made our time here enjoyable.

I had a lovely time at Civitel Creta Beach Hotel, with two great features being the spacious and comfortable bungalows and the direct access to the beach. The staff went out of their way to make our visit enjoyable, and the varied dining options were a highlight. However, there were some windy days that affected swimming in the sea, which might be a downside for some guests seeking calm waters.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Civitel Creta Beach. The spacious bungalows offered a peaceful retreat, and the staff’s warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, especially at the a la carte restaurant; however, we were hoping for more traditional Greek dishes instead of international options. Overall, the location by the beach and the pool area added to the experience, but we did encounter some issues with guests reserving sunbeds early in the morning.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is just a quick drive from the port and airport. What's fantastic is the peaceful location away from the hustle of the city center, yet close enough to explore. The rooms were spacious and offered a pleasing ocean view. The staff was always supportive, and the food was decent, but I felt it could use some variety. Plus, the pool area was very inviting. However, I must mention that the water at the beach was still a bit too chilly for swimming during my visit.
