Location

Positioned in the middle between Chania and Heraklion, it is an ideal option for those wanting to explore these two towns. While a little secluded, it makes for an excellent destination for families and those seeking a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle. A car rental is recommended for exploring further afield, though affordable and regular buses run to Rethymnon. Though some reviews noted the hotel's distance from nearby shopping centers, the hotel's location facing the sea and surrounded by stunning views more than made up for it.

Rooms

The sea view bungalows are a highlight, situated in a stunning garden area. Guests feel instantly at ease upon arrival and appreciate the good sound insulation in the rooms. The rooms are well-equipped and the towels, robes, shampoo, gel, hairdryer, fridge and slippers are all provided. Many guests describe their rooms as huge and larger than expected, offering plenty of space to relax. While some reviews suggest that renovations may be necessary in some areas, the cleanliness of the rooms is praised with regular changes of towels and linen. Some guests report issues with the air conditioning and uncomfortable beds, but overall the room experience is positive with lovely views of either the sea or the private bay.

Beds
The beds at Iberostar Selection Creta Marine may not suit everyone, as they tend to be on the firm side. However, many guests found the beds to be comfortable and spacious with good sound insulation in the rooms. Some guests had requested twin beds but were given double beds with a topper, which caused the beds to separate. Despite this issue and occasional shortages of lounge chairs by the pool, many guests appreciated the cozy rooms and comfortable bedding.

Cleanliness
If you're looking for a beautiful and clean vacation spot, look no further than Iberostar Selection Creta Marine. The property is spotless and well-maintained with comfortable common areas that are always clean. Guests appreciate the attention to detail with cleaning staff even leaving flowers in some rooms. While there were a couple of reports of inadequate cleaning in individual rooms, most guests had no complaints. The hotel grounds are also lovely and well-cared for with beautiful gardens to enjoy. Just be aware that some rooms only receive cleaning every other day. Overall, Iberostar Selection Creta Marine is a great choice for travelers looking for a clean and beautiful vacation destination.

Staff
The staff at Iberostar Selection Creta Marine are amazing and professional, going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. They speak multiple languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Ukrainian. The animation team is talented, making the entertainment exceptional. The receptionists Anastasia and Nikos and the restaurant team, especially Maria, are friendly and helpful. Overall, guests had a positive experience with the staff, who were always smiling and eager to assist. Some guests noted that certain individuals did not follow the Covid protocols, but the majority appreciated the extra effort made by the staff during these challenging times. The friendliness, professionalism and attention of the staff added to the enjoyment of the hotel and its location facing the sea.

Pool
The Iberostar Selection Creta Marine has a terrific pool area with multiple pools to choose from, all of which are well-maintained and surrounded by a beautiful landscaped garden. The hotel doesn't charge extra for sunbeds and there are plenty to go around. However, it can be challenging to find a free sunbed by the main pool as guests tend to reserve them early. There is no dedicated space for little kids in the pool, but there are several bars and plenty of activities to keep guests entertained. The pool opening time at 10 pm is somewhat late, inconvenient for those wanting to avoid the UV peak of noon or plan afternoon activities. The hotel has several sister properties and the main pool can get crowded quickly. The hotel strictly prohibits early reservation of sunbeds, but this is not enforced by the staff, so guests need to get up early to find a spot. Some guests complained about the material of the sunbeds, which they found uncomfortable. The opening hours of the pool were limited and some facilities were closed during specific hours. Despite this, the pool area was generally very pleasing and the pool water was clean with many pools having a sea view.

Beach
The Iberostar Selection Creta Marine boasts terrific facilities and landscaped surroundings, along with its own beach and a variety of small beaches available. Guests have the option of seeking a peaceful spot by one of the other pools or liege areas by the sea, or actively participating in animation and party events at the main pool. While some guests found the nearby beach less-than-stellar, the open sea is nice and there are several cozy coves in place of actual beaches. Overall, the location by the sea and green park is a highlight and guests recommend visiting the island's stunning beaches.

Family
The Iberostar Selection Creta Marine is an excellent destination for families with many activities for kids, including a disco at 8:30. The staff is great with children and there are many options for dining. While there are many pools and beach areas, the property is not very child-friendly with few places to change diapers and no dedicated space for little kids in the pool. The buffet does not offer baby-compatible food. However, guests appreciated their upgrade to the Presidential Suite and enjoyed a relaxing family vacation at the resort. The only downside was the noise level during meals with the passage of personnel carts and children shouting. Overall, the staff was friendly and made the vacation fun and comfortable for families.

Outdoor Pool
The outdoor pool at the Iberostar Selection Creta Marine hotel is a highlight for guests with many positive comments on its facilities, maintenance and size (with 5 different pools to choose from). The landscaped surroundings make for a relaxing atmosphere and there are plenty of options for sunbathing or finding a quieter spot. However, some guests note that reserving sun loungers is a problem and that there may be a shortage of available seating. Opening times can also be an issue for those wanting to avoid midday sun with the pool not opening until 10 pm. Nevertheless, for guests seeking a top-notch hotel experience, the Iberostar Selection Creta Marine's outdoor pool is highly recommended.
