La Mer Resort & Spa - Adults Only

Very nice place to relax. Great pool. Good breakfast. Nice room however a bit small. Location a Bitburg the beaten track.

The place is fabulous and the stuff are so nice

Small quiet with attention to detail, Cretan kitchen at its best presented every day, nice beach and really friendly and kind people that catered to our every need. Sustainable sources and eco friendly approach. Best spa experience we had in a decade

Stayed here for 5 nights and can honestly say it's the perfect place to come and relax. Our room was kept clean and serviced to a high standard daily with an amazing view of the sea and mountains. Bed was really comfortable and the shower was amazing. Food was cooked to perfection with plenty of choice. All the staff were really friendly and courteous, especially Marianana (pool bar), Demitris (main bar) and Eva (reception). Thank you for making our 40th wedding anniversary so special.

Absolutely unbelievable. We loved every minute of our stay. The hotel, facilities, room, drinks and food are stunning. All the staff are super friendly and could not do more for you. Could not fault it! We loved our short break and will be back!

Brilliant hotel and wonderful service. The beach, spa and gym facilities are great and all are located conveniently close to each other. The food is delicious and there were new options each evening. Will definitely be looking at returning soon.

My partner and I (both 31) are very sadly nearing the end of our 10 night stay at La Mer and I’d love to share some of our experience here as I could not recommend the hotel enough. From arrival, the staff (everyone) have been extremely friendly and keen to provide a 5* service. An extra special mention for Lampros (service / restaurant manager we think) for his constant eager attitude and lovely, friendly demeanour. He couldn’t do enough for us throughout our stay, and it seems he has the same attitude for all the guests -he is a huge asset to the hotel. Both Nektarios (working in the restaurant and pool bar) and Dimitris (working in the pool bar) have also been extra friendly and great to chat to with brilliant English. The hotel is extremely quiet and peaceful - even in the evenings only a small number of people sit around the pool bar area. Not many make use of the lovely ‘playroom’ with table tennis , snooker and board games available free of charge - perhaps this could be promoted a bit more. We are here half board and both breakfast and dinner, Cretan style, are of great quality & selection. Similarly the cocktail offering and lunch menu from the poolside restaurant are yummy and good value for the quality. I agree with the comments on the bed being a good size and comfortable, the shower excellent. The room overall, a little small and more space for clothes would be beneficial, particularly for those on longer trips like ourselves. However the cleanliness and general upkeep cannot be faulted. The hot tub which is part of the garden area of the room we selected is a personal highlight for my partner who insists we are now buying one (!). The stunning aesthetic of the whole hotel a personal highlight for me - the view over the pool watching the sunset looks too good to be true. We must call out the cat family that have made a home in the plants outside the rooms on the 1st floor nearest the restaurant - a gorgeous bunch of 5 kittens + their mum & dad being extremely well fed by all the guests (and sometimes staff!) although we are worried where they will go when the hotel closes at the end of the season as the hotel is situated just off of a main road with only other hotels nearby and no locals/ village etc. We don’t usually return to hotels as we like to explore new ones but on this occasion - we would both love to come back. Well done La Mer team!

La Mer is a gem in Crete. It is a great place for couples to totally recharge and relax. Food is excellent. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. A particular thanks to Lampros who has been so welcoming and friendly - a true asset to the hotel. There is so much choice at breakfast. The fresh orange juice is amazing and you can get omelettes made to your taste. I also recommend going half board because the food at dinner is incredible. The octopus stew was a highlight. The pool is lovely and it was easy enough to get a space around it. It has an indoor and outdoor gym as well. The indoor pool in the spa is amazing too. It is lovely to watch the sunset in the evening from the beach in the hotel! I totally recommend going to Lake Kournas which is a 10 minute drive from the hotel. Also recommend going to Rethymno and Chania by either car, or by the local bus service. The bus stop is about 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
