5-star beachfront resort with 3 private coves in Crete
Location
Iberostar Selection Creta Marine sits on a cliff edge overlooking 3 private coves, each with small sandy-pebbly beaches and direct access to the sea. Guests can swim in the crystal-clear waters or rent jet skis, banana boats, and other water sports from Lottie Watersports at the harbour cove. The hotel also offers a food truck on the beach serving fresh gyros and souvlakis, included in the all-inclusive package.
Dining
The hotel has 3 restaurants: Dias buffet restaurant, Thalassa Mediterranean restaurant with sea views, and La Locanda Italian trattoria, plus a sushi wine bar on the Thalassa terrace. Guests can also dine at Vegghera, a Cretan taverna run by a Masterchef finalist, and enjoy snacks at Helios Pool Bar or the beach bar. All-inclusive covers premium-brand drinks like Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray, with cocktail service at Saloni lobby bar and Thalassa Cocktail Bar.
Pools & Waterpark
The resort has 3 swimming pools: a large saltwater main pool with swim-up bar, a quieter Ouzo pool overlooking the sea, and a small children's pool with slide and water umbrella. A brand-new waterpark shared with the sister hotel Iberostar Waves Panorama & Mare offers slides and play areas for younger kids. Sun loungers with thick mattresses are available throughout, and the hotel enforces a no-reservation policy before 10am by removing towels.
Amenities
The hotel runs Star Camp with age-specific activities for children, plus a kids' club and a mini-disco every evening at the outdoor theatre. Children have their own pools, a playground with gravelled area, and a dedicated buffet section with pasta and sauces. Families can book bungalow rooms with separate sleeping areas and enjoy the land train to Panormos village or the waterpark.
Spa, Sports & Sustainability
The spa offers massages, a hammam, sauna, hot tub, and beauty services, with therapists providing treatments like Cretan body massages. Sports facilities include tennis, archery, diving, aerobics, table tennis, and cycling routes along the coast. The hotel is committed to sustainability by reducing plastic waste, using glass water bottles, and avoiding plastic straws.
