I had an amazing time at this resort, enjoying both the relaxing environment and the beautiful beach access. The facilities were top-notch, with a good variety of pools and entertainment options. However, the dining options were quite repetitive, which became a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, but there is room for improvement in the food variety.

I had an incredible 11-day stay at Creta Maris that truly felt like a honeymoon dream come true. The resort combines beautiful greenery and multiple pools catering to all preferences, making it easy to find your perfect spot to relax or enjoy some fun. The food was mostly fantastic, with a great variety at the themed restaurants, although the dress code for evening dining was a bit strict. While there were a couple of minor issues during my stay, such as mattress comfort and Wi-Fi connectivity, the staff handled everything efficiently, making for an overall wonderful experience.

Overall, I had a delightful stay at Creta Maris. The resort is expansive with lovely bungalows and tons of enjoyable dining options. The food quality is exceptional, but the busy atmosphere during peak times was a bit overwhelming. Additionally, the reservation system for specialty restaurants could use some improvement, as I struggled to secure a table. Nonetheless, the attention and friendliness offered by the staff truly enhanced the experience.
