It is rare to have such nice staff who are really genuinely friendly and take a lot of time to talk to the guests. The service was truly unique and there is nothing that could have been done better. Our stay at La Mer was simply fantastic and exceeded our expectations in every way!
From arrival to departure the service was absolutely flawless. The whole team was incredibly attentive, friendly and accommodating. Our every wish was practically read from our lips and they really looked after us personally. We have rarely experienced such outstanding service.
The hotel itself is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The pool area was really great, as was the private beach. The food in the restaurant was also excellent.
I can highly recommend La Mer. If you're looking for a relaxing stay with first-class service, this is the place for you! We will definitely be back!

Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend for anyone looking to relax! The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food was amazing and the pool and beach were perfect.
My only recommendation will be that the indoor gym equipment gets a bit of an upgrade, but I still managed to get my workouts done and also used the outdoor gym.

This hotel is one of the best I’ve been to. At first welcome, the beautifully designed and spacious lobby greeted us along with the kindest staff. Check in was super easy and everything was explained well. The pool and beach area are some of the La Mer’s best features. People didn’t hog sunbeds and they have these amazing umbrellas with ropes that diffused the sunlight so you had a perfect sun/shade experience. The sun beds with curtains are great for days you need to heal from sunburn. There is an indoor and outdoor lounge area with gorgeous views of the sea and mountains.
The beach starts out sandy then is rocky as you approach the water, then becomes sandy again a few feet in. I was worried about a rock beach but with some beach shoes or those rubber slippers, you get used to it. The water is amazing. I appreciated the gentle soft music playing outside. It was never too loud or annoying.
We used the indoor gym almost everyday. Great facility.
And now, to the food. We were so impressed at every meal. The staff is so welcoming as we come in, and the variety of food is perfect. Everything tasted fresh, and full of flavor. We felt we experienced the whole of Cretan cuisine in a few days. I appreciate the large variety of vegetable appetizers and dishes. We were full but never felt bad.
The location felt somewhat private. There is a hotel two lots over but no one directly next door. If you like walking along the beach, there isn’t much opportunity for that but there are treadmills!
There is also a cool game room with ping pong, pool tables and some board games. It’s a great place to escape the heat a bit.
The rooms are definitely a bit small and water gets into the toilet area from the shower. That felt a little dangerous at times but the cleaning staff made the rooms spotless everyday. There is great attention to detail in the decor and the whole facility is super clean, thoughtfully designed and felt luxurious.
Thank you for a great stay!

Worst experience ever!
Rooms are tiny! Except for reception and management, the staff looks annoyed by your presence and makes you feel miserable. The beach is not comfortable, is small, and you need to walk over rocks to access the water.
There are not enough umbrellas for all the guests, so if you get late to the beach, you will bake in the sun!!!
The structure looks nice, but do not get tricked. This hotel is not worth the price!!!

Everything at La Mer was absolutely perfect. The view from the hotel room was unbelievable, the bed was comfortable, and the food was phenomenal. The buffet for breakfast and dinner was perfect - lots of options so that you could try a little bit of everything. The loungers by the beach and the pool were comfortable, and provided just enough shade.
The staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome, especially Theodore and Marianna. I’d go back in a heartbeat!
