I have stayed here this week with my husband and our 19 year old daughter. We have been made to feel welcome by all of the staff, they are helpful and so friendly. The rooms are beautiful and spacious and fully equipped with and clean every day. The pool areas are clean with lots of bed and plenty of clean towels. The food has been delicious every morning dinner and evening. So many wonderful choices and fresh fruits always available. The entertainment in the evening has been brilliant. Would highly recommend this resort to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay at the Seaside Lifestyle Resort in Crete. The hotel offers a fantastic atmosphere, attentive service, and breathtaking sea views. The food was absolutely delicious – every meal was a true delight! We felt completely at ease and will be very happy to come back.

We came to Crete for our honeymoon and absolutely loved our stay at Seaside Crete. We are vegan and the food here was absolutely incredible. There are several restaurants you can book for a sit down and order meal – these were very good. The remaining meals we ate at the Veranda (main dining hall) and it was great. All food was clearly marked with allergens. There were many vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options which were changed often.
There are 2 pools with lots of seating and a poolside bar. We splurged and got a Casa Swim with a sea view. There were four rooms that looked out onto an infinity pool and had a chair for each room for seating. It was an awesome setup. There was no bar at our infinity pool so we spent a lot of time at the general pools, but it was great to spend the afternoon with the view.

Absolutely LOVED this resort!! My husband and I booked it for our honeymoon and it exceeded our expectations. Lots of romantic spots, stunning views, 10/10 service and the variety of food options was impressive. Would 100% come back to this resort in the future. We reserved a suite that had our own private pool was very romantic. Anyone going for their honeymoon or a romantic getaway definitely get the floating breakfast it was sooo delicious!!

We stayed four nights at Seaside A Lifestyle Resort and absolutely loved it. This adults-only, all-inclusive hotel delivered exactly what we needed—peace, relaxation, and great food. The property has two beautiful pools and lots of amenities, and we were especially glad for the no-kids policy. Major plus.
The hotel itself is stunning. The views from nearly every angle—whether it was the mountains, the sea, or the sunset—were absolutely breathtaking. The architecture and design throughout the resort were modern, elegant, and so aesthetically pleasing. It just felt good to be there. Every corner of the property was well thought out and picture-worthy without feeling overdone.
We stayed in a side sea view suite and were surprised by how spacious and comfortable it was—the photos really don’t do it justice. Plenty of room for two people, with a gorgeous sunset view from our balcony.
The buffet exceeded expectations. This was not your typical all-inclusive experience. Everything was fresh, hot, and constantly replenished by chefs cooking right at the stations. Tons of options, including local dishes, and everything was super accommodating for different diets—we saw plenty of vegan and gluten-free selections. We never got bored of the food and always found something we genuinely wanted to eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
The upper pool was our go-to since it was a bit quieter, but both pools had a relaxed vibe. If you’re looking for a change of scenery, it’s easy to walk down to the beach from the hotel path. There’s even an elevator that takes you down to the ground level so you can enjoy a dip in the sea.
The drinks included with the stay were great—plenty of options and everything we tried was delicious. The staff was amazing across the board. Every question or request we had was met with kindness and helpfulness. One windy night, our bathing suit flew off the balcony and got stuck in the bushes two stories below, and the staff went out of their way to retrieve it for us. Just above-and-beyond service.
There were also evening entertainment options (we caught a Ricky Martin-style cover band!), though we usually headed to bed early after long days in the sun. For anyone wanting to stay active, there’s a full sports complex with tennis courts, pickleball (we think!), and a beautiful yoga studio.
We usually plan lots of excursions when visiting Greece, but this time we just wanted to relax—and Seaside totally delivered. Next time we’re in northern Crete, we’ll definitely stay here again.
