Hotel ok but not for the english out numbered 100 to 1 by germans this hotel cannot be bothered with you if you are english had complaint regaurding room reception did not want to know but when we were standing there trying to sort out problem a german couple had same troubles and was sorted out within minutes we never did get our room changed ,also be preaired to be pushed out of queues by our fellow europeans very rude.Hotel is in the middle of nowhere 30min bus trip to nearest town, very dissaponted with the area as a whole also do not go into sea unless you are a very strong swimmer(person drowned whilst we was there life guards not that good).Now the good bit food good , fresh,wll presented,lots of choice.Hotel clean, rooms ok beds very hard ,pool ok but suddenly slops of very deep not ok for children .Entertainment team work very hard but limited as to what they can acheve with what they have to work with.On the whole would give hotel 5 out of 10 but would never go there again.

Chose the hotel for a long time and carefully, because traveling with two kids (6 years and 1.5 years), and were very satisfied. To avoid repeating previous reviews say that the hotel was surprisingly easy it is for our version of the holiday. The beach is sandy and very close to the sea clear and warm (although a couple of days were a wave, then brings all the vegetation), set in the water is good, no sneakers do not need to buy, this is especially important kiddies. They write that there is a pebble, but it's actually less than a meter wide fine mild pebbles along the shore, which, again, the kids liked to play. The territory of well-groomed and blooming in the lobby - fresh roses. Heat is normally due to the breeze from the sea. On the beach and pool are toilets, showers, changing rooms - very comfortable, too. Beach towels every day if I was.

Food excellent, it was always possible to feed all, for the youngest in the morning was oatmeal, but at dinner there is a dietary meal, such as for those who lose weight (for example, boiled beef with vegetables) - that it fits perfectly in children's diet and even the soup too delicious. Beautiful and various desserts and fruit (so that if a child suddenly does not want to eat - you can feed a pudding or cake). For the rest all the time never had a problem with a table, in fact - we always sat at the same table, but came at different times. The soiled dishes are cleaned immediately. Staff is excellent, all friendly and customized for adults and children. In the evening the bar for free drinks (including non-native), cocktails, although they have little alcohol, and ice a lot, but still nice, champagne, brandy, in general, quite convenient to put the kids to bed and go down to drink at the cocktail to the sound of waves - a little joy of parenthood.

Really liked the animation, however, opportunities pouchavstvovat my husband and I almost was not, but went to aqua aerobics on a regular basis - is very positive, good evening presentation, plus a children's disco - our daughter loved it. There is a mini-club, there may be a couple of hours to keep children older than 4 years old daughter also went with gusto.

Disadvantages of the hotel three (and we are in no way overshadowed the rest): 1 - beds on the lawn of hours necessary to take up to eight, but if it's somewhere at a certain place you want to lie at nine - what is left, and later - will have to scour the lawn in search of a solitary lounger and drag him under a palm tree, umbrella, because it is unlikely syschetsya), but our kids got up early, so we had no problems, 2 - Skaleta this village - quiet miserable hole with three mini-shops (in that sell the same thing as a shop in the hotel, and at the same price), we kind of went after dinner with a stroller and realized that nothing - to walk in this village have nowhere and no reason, and 3 - the hotel is a little poiznosilsya is evident from the flaky cranes, and the cracks in the tile pool, but we started to travel as a student with a "dead" Turkish "treshek" so special perfectionism are no different, as long as it was pure.

This hotel is recommended for those who want to rest easy - there are for this condition. We love to go every time to a new location, but if you run out of spas and will go to the second round, then it is possible that back in Creta Star - great hotel

What can I say except fantastic staff great entertainment really wonderfully food and hot weather . The only cons could be slightly remote location and no air con after early September. Overall we loved it and once again the staff were so kind to us!

The Creta Star is a great place to stay if you want lots of sun and to relax and enjoy the facilities. The rooms are spotless and cleaned every day. The restaurants offer a great choice of food, including diet foods, and there were never any queues despite the hotel being failry full. Of course some of our european friends just had to get in front or get the most food possible on a plate however it didnt bother me.
The grounds are well manicured and managed and the outside area is a clean as the inside. There is an area in the garden near the towel kiosk where there is a distinct smell of mothballs but I think it comes from some plant. Pools is salt water but immaculate and cleaned frequently. There is an indooor pool if you prefer.
The beach is okay. I'm not a sand person but take care as its a bit rocky on the way into the water so wear shoes. If you walk a bit further along ( usually where everyone seems to be in the water, you can find a way in without the rocky bits.
Not much to do outside the resort. Get the local bus into Rethmyno. Only takes about 30 mins. But ticket from the wee supermarket outside the hotel and to the right. 1.5 euro to go in and the same back. No return tickets. Get the bus to the station. Its an easy place to remember for the journey back.
Animation were very good and work very hard without being in your face. Give them a chance. The usual day time activites for adults and children and something on every night.
All in all a great place which I have no hesitiation in recommending.
