Sunshine Crete Beach Hotel

The name matches the reality. The velvet season is just super!

Not a bad hotel, food is not fancy, but there are also tasty dishes, umbrellas and sunbeds on the beach should be replaced a long time ago, there is not enough canopy and umbrellas by the pools. The beach is gorgeous, clean and big, like the sea! The best in the area, small pebbles are pleasant, lying by the sea on it is just relaxing!!!

The quality of the hotel surprised and pleased me, and my daughter and granddaughter felt at home. Cleanliness, night peace, quality of food, service, and bar selection, beautiful pool, and well-maintained pebble beach (I recommend water shoes), transparent clean sea water, and sea view from the room, all of which met the expected price-performance relationship, or rather the quality of the services provided. As an experienced traveler (here I also include business trips around the world), I greatly appreciated the atmosphere of the hotel and the approach of its staff. From the reception to the aforementioned bars or playgrounds, it was professional, attentive, friendly, and helpful. Programs and care for children, even very young ones, were, thanks to the lovely Czech animators, meticulous and enthusiastically accepted by the children. The evening program for children and adults was also imaginative and pleasant, thanks to the young French artists, accompanied by great dance routines and music. On the beach, you could pay for all sorts of water attractions, and the staff there was also pleasant and helpful. Even though we experienced about 50 hours of constant strong wind, so typical of the southern part of Crete, we found time to rent a car and visit many pleasant and interesting places, including sandy beaches in the southeastern tip and the eastern coast of Crete. I would also like to highlight the unobtrusive, but friendly and very efficient help of Mr. Stephanos Kaminis, the hotel's Guest Relations Manager. I had not noticed such a function before, but he created a relaxed atmosphere here, and as an expert on local conditions, he helped us, among other things, to choose the best routes for our trips. We will definitely be happy to return to the hotel in the future. Milan

I can highly recommend this hotel as our stay was really enjoyable. Rooms had been already prepared when we arrived so we could enjoy our holiday from the very begining. Rooms were nice and cozy, cleaned everyday. When it comes to the beach, there was no problem with sunbeds availability and the water was crystal clear. Food was delicious, especially desserts. Animations, although mostly in French, were really entertaining. Staff was very helpful. I would like to mention 2 persons: the men who was responsible for keeping the area clean and the manager who helped us when we had an accident and the doctor's assistance was needed.

A pleasant hotel by nice pebble beach. There are enough sun loungers and beach umbrellas available on the beach, the sea there is clean. The room was cozy and clean. There is a nice staff, managers are always available to supervise the comfort of the guests. The food was very tasty, but there was no allergen labeling. In case of some diet, it is necessary to make arrangements. It is possible to rent a car and go on trips. Expect the possibility of some windy days.

Nice, clean hotel by the beach, with helpful and kind staff. The pebble beach is nice, the sea is clean. There are always free sun loungers for you to enjoy your stay by the sea. Possibility to rent a car and make trips. The food is very tasty, but allergens are not marked. The hotel managers try to prepare a nice stay for their guests. I recommend a visit.

Great location, friendly staff, very comfortable and clean family room, very very tasty food. We stayed from June 24 till July 1 and we were very happy with the hotel. The food was excellent and there was very friendly personel. The sea was very clean, there are little stones on the beach that´s why we think the sea is so clean. You don´t need any shoes to go to the sea. Our daughter enjoyed herself in the children´s tobogan pool and the kids club. Thank you very much for making our holidays wonderful. We will definetely come back to Blue Mare Sunshine Koutsounari.

Nice area with own beach, without extra cost for sunbeds. The food and beverage in the main restaurant very tasty. Rooms with equipment, simple but very causy. Very nice staff at Reception and very friendly. Guest Relations Stefano cares about everything.
