Hotel Cretan Park

An introduction to Hotel Cretan Park

If a quiet, relaxing break is what you’re after, the Cretan Park’s location takes some beating. It’s perfectly positioned on its own private sandy beach, backed by acres of countryside. And it’s close to neighbouring islands, so you can go exploring and be back in time for dinner.

As for the hotel complex itself, it's got plenty of natural beauty, too. In the grounds, palms and old olive trees share space with brightly coloured flowers. Sitting pretty among all this are attractive pools and a lazy river bordered by decked terraces with comfortable wooden loungers.

Heading inside, it's clear to see that style is important to the owners. There's an eye-catching mixture of traditional and modern styles, evident in the glamorous reception area. Classic wooden beams and whitewashed walls form the base, with a modern twist of furniture and fittings straight from an interior design magazine.

But don't think this place is all style and no substance – far from it. There's plenty to keep you amused. As well as the swimming pools, there's watersports, tennis, aerobics – you can even try your hand at making your own T-shirts.

The Cretan Park’s secluded position outside Malia is what attracts many of its guests. It’s quiet and there’s no noise from clubs. But at a distance of just one kilometre it’s an easy trip for anyone who wants to party. And those who decide to stay around in the evening won’t feel left out – most nights there’s a show by the entertainment team or a live band by the pool.

Hotel is spotless, staff are very pleasant and helpful and speak English. Food - very good variety although not as hot as the English would like it to be. Evening entertainment was very low key and had an end of season feel to it - disappointing.... more on this review
