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.

I booked this holiday with a friend for a week of pure relaxation. It was one of the nicest hotels I have ever been to. The room was very comfortable and well furnished, common areas were not too busy and it was always possible to find somewhere nice to sit. However, for me the reason I would return was that the food was absolutely outstanding. We canceled a reservation in one of the hotel restaurants so we could eat at the buffet again as the range of food available and the quality was simply superb. Staff for always on hand and extremely friendly.
The only thing I would say about this hotel is that you need to be aware it really is quite isolated and so it isn't possible to go out for a walk in the evening-you are very much stuck at the hotel. However, there are definitely worse places to be trapped!

Cannot Recommend this hotel anymore. Everything was absolutely phenomenal.
Staff were amazing. everyone is so friendly and happy to see you. If you have any problems at all they are more than accommodating. I got stung by a jelly fish on my first day and they delivered cream from the pharmacy by taxi straight to my room.
Cleaning was never an issue. Maids were always cheerful and happy to speak to you. Fresh towels replaced every day as well as water.
The best food we have ever had at an all inclusive holiday. Everything was fresh and flavourful. With 3 extra restaurants on sight that were absolutely delicious. Bar staff were always cheerful and happy to make drinks whilst having a chat.
Location was perfect, 2 minutes from the beach with amazing views everywhere.
For adults only this is the perfect place to go on holiday !!

It was my second time staying at this hotel, and I loved every second of it! The facilities, service, and food have all seen noticeable improvements, even though they were already excellent. I want to give a special thanks to Mara from the main restaurant, who made us feel welcome and looked after at all times. She is truly the warmest human being! The reservations team, along with everyone else, were genuinely friendly and accommodating. Thank you for another fantastic stay, and we will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing holiday hot hot hot pools are great with great ambient chill out t to tunes to relax too the food is absolutely first class the hotel staff can't do enough for you. The hotel is very hilly to yes their are lifts but the top pool and getting to the small beach can be a challenge for some. The rooms are very nice well looked after the entertainment is ok it's not what I'm used to but enjoyable all the same if you want to go out site seeing their is a bus to the center or a hire car if you want to explore further as the hotel resort is remote as it's designed for you to stay. Loved our holiday at this resort absolutely loved it
