Petra Mare Hotel - Ierapetra (Crete)

the fine underwater world right next to the beach

varied menu, family-friendly activities

crowded beach area

I had spacious, panoramic room with good air-conditioning, had good night's sleep. The staff were all really friendly and amazingly nice and provided excellent service...

The hotel had a special menu and a games room for those with kids. The building was nice.

Friendly staff, great kids' activities. Gym equipment needs maintenance, treadmill is faulty.

Well, it was a really nice stay of our holidays. The location of this hotel right by a seaside promenade with restaurants was perfect and marvellous. Besides, the property was 3 km away from Zamzam Well.

The panoramic sea view from the upper floors provides a amazing sight that you won't forget. The children's pool area has a pirate ship with slides, keeping the little ones entertained for hours.

During peak hours, getting food can turn into a mini-quest with queues stretching to five minutes. The dining areas become sweltering on non-windy days due to a total absence of air conditioning. Plus, the furniture in the rooms appears dated and in need of a makeover, which can detract from the overall vibe. If you're looking for a decent gym, prepare to be disappointed. The treadmills are hit or miss, and the rowing machine needs fixing.

The animation team is very nice, engaging kids with activities like mini discos. The beach bar serves refreshing cocktails right by the sand!

would want to stay there again

The family suite with sea view was comfy, having air conditioning, a kitchenette with necessary kitchenware, and a big balcony for evenings. The food was super tasty with diverse options like grilled meats and fresh fish. Animation team kept kids entertained with mini discos. There's a gym and a nice outdoor pool area. Beach was right there, mix of sand and smooth pebbles.

Gorgeous room view!

The amazing sea views from our room were absolutely unforgettable! The animation team was so engaging, especially with the kids. Downsides? The food quality could use some improvement. we had a relaxing stay! 🌊

The location is perfect with direct beach access, great for fine coastal views. The infinity pool offers a serene escape, and the staff is friendly, contributing to an inviting atmosphere for families.

The gym equipment needs maintenance, which can be frustrating for active guests.

The hotel features beautifully maintained gardens, easy access to all areas, and thoughtful ramps, made navigating with my walking aid easy. The warm and cute ambiance combined with attentive staff.

Wi-Fi quality needs significant improvement.

The suite had a amazing sea view that added to the stay, complemented by daily room cleaning and attentive service, including water delivery. The buffet offered an excellent variety of regional products, ensuring fresh and diverse meal choices. While the beach was decent, it felt crowded at times, and the dining area lacked air conditioning were nice. The need for an updated decor in the rooms was noticeable but did not detract significantly from our experience.

100% recommend for short stay

Spacious room, relaxing atmosphere, with a beautiful sea view, made our stay more enjoyable and accessible amenities including free wi-fi in public areas ensured we stayed connected while exploring the nearby beach.

For us it was ideal.

The room was clean and had a great view, plus they provided a wake-up service.
