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.

This is showing as a 4 star by Jet2 and is officially a 4 star hotel. On arrival, I was charged 15 euros a night, which is the charge for a 5 star, I did complain and got the difference back. The hotel is listed as ideal for a solo traveller, which I was, so thought I would find like minded people there. It took half my holiday to find anyone from the UK, then I found one more just before I left. Lots of French, German, Polish and Bulgarian holiday makers there. The Jet2 rep does not visit the hotel (probably due to virtually nobody from the UK) but I found out she did visit the hotel 10 minutes down the road. There are no entertainment people from Jet2 on site. The lovely girls from the German company Alltours were happy for me to join in their activities. Be prepared to pay for some cocktails such as Pina Colada, and any alcoholic drink after 11.00 pm, so not really all inclusive. The food is so so, but guess that comes down to individual taste. The room was a standard room, the bathroom looked like it had recently been refurbished with a nice overhead shower. No issues with the staff, they were all friendly enough. I was told I had to be out of my room by 11.00am, but not picked up by 7.00pm, however, they did allow me to stay in the room until I left, probably as the hotel wasn't full. The hotel is nice enough, but wouldn't go back and would't rate this as more than 3 stars, this was the same opinion as the 2 people that I found from the UK

Please do not book this hotel if you are expecting 4 or 5 star. We booked with jet 2. The jet 2 side of things was perfect. Hotel not so perfect Thanks to jet 2 for saving our holiday. We moved hotels. We felt we didn't have a choice but to co.plain to jet 2. I had just come from a 5 star hotel in rhodes. Was perfect. The rooms although clean are very dated. And subpar. The furniture hasn't been replaced in a long time it has just been painted over to try and look modern. Our room smelt of paint. Night staff was appalling. No drink on arrival. Some left over scraps that personally I wouldn't feed to animals. That was classed as snacks on arrival. Animation/entertainment solely in foreign. Try doing bingo in a language tou dont speak.lol. The whole experience was bad. From the childs park only have 1 swing on a frame that can have 5 or 6. To the rubber matting with dangerous gaps and not laid properly. Been down that long the tree roots have lifted it etc. Mould on light shades in dining area. Children's food section closed. Strange during kids holidays. Ended up driving our special needs family member 1hr30 to the only mcdonalds on the island for some chicken nuggets lol. Stephano is the guests manager. Unfortunately by the time we spoke the hotel was doomed. He is the only positive from the hotel. Tbh he made us feel a touch guilty moving. But as good as he is he can't bring the hotel into the 21st century over night. Thanks stephano for atleast trying. Surround yourself with better staff and you could carry the hotel. In its current state I cannot see it being offered by jet 2 again.

Total overview 4 stars, not 5! Pluses: 1. First line - beach in 2 minutes from main building 2. Food: enough for everyone. But there is standard menu for every 3-4 days - so if you stay more then 7 days - you will have no diversity 3. Amazing landscapes as from sea view rooms as from garden view. Minuses: 1. Service - we have asked about late departure in 10 days before - were told to ask in date departure, and of course - there was no such possibility. 2. In the description there is no word that all activities only in French. So there is no kid club or any other animation for people who is not French speaking. 3. All public wc in the whole hotel are dirty and smells really bad… it’s almost impossible to visit… 4. queues in all bars. Sometimes you need to spend 15 minutes to get some drinks.

I was actually there in October 2023. The hotel is located near Lerapetra on the beach shore. The rooms are in order. There is a swimming pool for children. The food is delicious. Only with all inclusive was the poor choice of alcoholic beverages. Next to it are several souvenir shops, car rental points. You need to drive to the sights of Crete (they are all further). Water activities can be ordered on the beach.

Very nice resort with very good service. The people are well taken care of , the food tastes good, the staff is very nice and will meet everything in sight. If you don't want to swim in the sea you can use the pool or lots of fun games. I recommend and warm regards.

In general I have to said it was very good. Hotel - who is expecting design hotel will be surely dissapointed, but anyvay rooms was clean and normaly furnished. Cleaning was every day so as changing towels. Beach towels you could change also everyday or not as you want - but these was up to anyone. Restaurant /bar /food - these was totally 5* food was excelent every day and really a lot of variations staff there was also excellend and very nice that was the same in a bars - there I would praise all of them. Beach and the see - was also very nice /clean and I was very happy first two days we have got really nice and than come the storms and was a bigger waves - but it has nothing to do with hotel and beach :) negative - oly what i would tell negative - we could not stay in a rooms longer anyway we would like to pay for it - we have to leave at 12 but our bus was leaving hotel nearly at 20 - they have said they are totally full, but anyway in my view there should be obtion anyway you travel with kids you would appriciate some private space where you can take shower or change clothes or make a rest. Despite this fact i can imagine I would spend holiday in this resort again
