Hotel Petra Mare  

06 Nov 2024

Good location in the real Greek town (not tourist trap) with semi-private beach. Food is great (minimal amount of repetitions, good amount of meat and vegetables, fish and seafood present). Friendly, helpful and not annoying personeel. Note: book taxi from the airport, because public bus travel time is almost 3 hours and const 1/2 of taxi price.

The staff were really polite and friendly - there was a relaxed atmosphere about the hotel. You could see that it was really well maintained and very clean as the staff were readily available throughout the day.

The room was very spacious and it's great that you can separate the kids area from the main bed. The food was excellent all around. Lots of choices in the buffet restaurant and great for kids too. Never had any food-related issues so food safety seemed high as well. It was a perfect hotel for small kids. My 3½ year old son loved it. Everything is close together which is very convenient. The water slides in the kids pool are amazing. The beach is rocky in some parts and sandy in others. There is a great sand playground right at the beach. The entrance to the sea is quite flat, which makes it easy for the kids to enter. There are lots of activities to join. My son especially loved the mini disco, the bouncy castle and the face painting. We never had a problem finding a sunbed at the pool or the beach. I can fully recommend this place to familys with kids under 7 and will most likely come back next year.

There are a lot of facilities for children, including toddlers: inside playground, outside playground, waterslides, beach playground and a really nice beach. The room was huge and had many shelf and drawers so you can have your belongings organized. The food was various and delicious, a lot of vegetarian options too. Everything was sparkling clean, even the inside playground was decently clean. You can rent bikes or go for walks in the town, which is not an usual thing for all inclusive hotels. The gym was well equipped and not crowded. Everyone was extremely nice from the restaurant stuff who never complained about my one year old making a mess at every meal to the front desk ladies who can help you with anything you need.

Wonderful, helpful, polite staff and the efficiency with which everything ran. The resort is run like a really well-oiled machine- meant in the best possible way. Everything is thought of, every request is accommodated. Beautiful surroundings, great facilities. Everything super clean, comfortable rooms and a great view from the balcony in sea view rooms. A great selection of food in the main restaurant for all meals (though for some reason, disappointingly, they don't serve dishes with halloumi at all, even though it's a classic and delicious Greek cheese). The child-friendliness of the resort: the kids in our group (aged 7, 8 and 11) had the best time and there was always something to entertain them. The activities organised by the wonderful,. friendly reps: aqua gym, aqua dance, darts, table tennis, kids' theatre performances.

The highlights are the facilities for the kids, the food and the animation team.

We loved the entertainment team, the food , excellent customer service and great location. The Spa was really good - Mary was worth it - best deep tissue massage. The kids club was a dream - because of them we got to really relax and chill out- my kids were crying when we left. We never got bored of the food and we had local shops next to the hotel.

Very family friendly hotel nicely decorated and not crowded despite the number of people. The FO staff were very helpful and kind, especially Oksana and Maria. The animation team is amazing. The guys are truly doing their best to entertain the guests. They are all very charismatic and fun. They really engage with the kids. Our daughter loved the mini discos in the evening and liked to chat with the guys whenever she got a chance. The room we had was a bit tired but comfortable with a spectacular view of the sea from the terrace. The room was sufficiently clean and the cleaning ladies came every day although they did not really clean it every day, but the floors were washed which is good. The food was tasty and varied. Each lunch and dinner various sorts of meat, fish and seafood available. We don’t drink alcohol so we can’t comment on that. We only drank water. We liked that they didn’t cook too much at once and refilled the buffet when needed. Hopefully it helps to tackle food waste which must be huge for such a property. The beach of the hotel is not bad for a few days but there are many nicer beaches around , so the car is recommended if you want to explore a bit. It’s nice that the hotel is a walking distance from Ierapetra. It was nice to go there for a stroll in the evening and you can do a bit of shopping if you are lucky and the shops are open (10-14:00 on the work days and Tuesday evening as well)

The hotel is very good. The food was tasty and variable every day. The hotel has its own beach with sun-beds and umbrellas as well as swimming pools. On the beach there are different water sports available for extra money. The team of the hotel is very friendly and considerate. We also would like to extra mention Maria from the reception, who was extremely helpful and also organized the surprise cake for my boyfriend’s birthday! Thank you very much.
