Iberostar Creta Marine

Set by a series of small sandy coves, the pastel-washed buildings of this modern hotel gaze out to the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean, with two private beaches and the hotel's own marina. Within the spacious grounds are three saltwater swimming pools, set in extensive terraces for sun-soaking with a sea breeze. A Jacuzzi and massage is offered for that all important interlude of indulgence, and there are lounges for relaxation and a fitness room for a muscle-toning workout, so your day can be as lively or lazy as you like. Beachfront and poolside snack bars let you enjoy a light lunch or long iced cooler without missing a minute of tanning time, and a disco bar on site means your evening entertainment is equally effortless. Offering high standards of comfort and service, the hotel is close to the fishing village of Panormo, about 18 km from the centre of Rethymnon.
