5-star beachfront resort with three private coves on the Cretan coast
Amenities & Pools
Iberostar Selection Creta Marine has three private coves reserved exclusively for hotel guests, offering direct beach access and water sports like diving and banana boat rides. The property operates three swimming pools: a large saltwater main pool with a swim-up bar, a smaller quiet pool near the Ouzo Bar, and a heated indoor pool. Guests also find a shared water park with the sister hotel Creta Panorama, open until 6pm daily.
Dining
Creta Marine offers three à la carte restaurants - Thalassa Mediterranean, Locanda Italian Trattoria, and Vegerra - plus the main Dias buffet with themed nights including seafood and Asian sushi. All-inclusive guests receive two evening reservations at the à la carte venues, and the Helios Pool Bar serves cocktails and snacks poolside. A food truck on the beach provides gyros and souvlakis included in the all-inclusive plan.
Children & Family
The hotel's Star Camp offers age-specific activities for children aged 4-12, run by an international animation team that also leads mini-disco and evening theatre shows. Children have their own pools and a playground, plus a dedicated kids' buffet section in the main restaurant. The family-friendly bungalow rooms accommodate up to three guests with separate sleeping areas.
Wellness & Activities
The on-site spa includes a hammam, sauna, hot tub, and massage treatments; access to the indoor pool and sauna is free for guests booking spa treatments. Sports facilities cover tennis, archery, table tennis, aerobics, cycling routes, and diving in the crystal-clear coves. The hotel's eco-friendly approach includes bore water irrigation and a ban on plastic straws.
Location & Surroundings
Iberostar Creta Marine is set on a privileged beachfront overlooking three private coves, 3km from Panormo village and 18km from Rethymno town. A tourist train runs between the hotel and Panormo for 5euro return, and buses stop directly outside the property for trips to Heraklion and archaeological sites.
