Kimpton La Mer Crete by IHG

“Had the best time here. The hotel is stunning, the room is very comfortable, with an amazing view of the beach. The drinks and the food are amazing too. If you have time, watch the sunset and sunrise from the beach. It’s magical. Everyone is very friendly — from reception to the bar, restaurant and housekeeping. But there are two people who deserve a special mention. They were always friendly, kind and helpful: Maria from the dinner buffet and Eleni from breakfast. I am vegan and constantly needed help with dishes and ingredients, and they were always there, making a huge effort to help me. The experience wouldn’t have been the same without them. Thank you so much! ❤️”

“Me and my partner fully enjoyed our time here. We arrived late after a long almost 25 hour long travel day and the staff were quick to get us checked in, bring our luggage to our room then we had a lovely late dinner at the à la carte restaurant. The area may not be near anything major but this allowed us to fully relax, enjoy the sheep next door, kittens and their mama on the grounds and disconnect from our busy life at home. We had a whole week to just swim/snorkel in the sea, enjoy the warm pool, and the great hotel food/drinks before moving on to another area of the island. Staff were all great! Always greeted us with a smile when passing by, bringing our food/drinks or whenever at meal times. Food at the à la carte restaurant was exceptionally good. We fully enjoyed every meal and the service that was provided by the staff. The younger blonde Ukrainian girl (sorry I didn’t catch her name) working was always happy to make me fun drinks I found on TikTok!! The grounds are beautiful, we enjoyed how this hotel is in a more rural area surrounded by animals and farms. Would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend anyone also looking to relax and disconnect from the city to stay here as well!!”

“What an amazing holiday! This is without a doubt one of the best hotels we've stayed in. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely incredible- so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. They genuinely went above and beyond to make our stay special. The cleanliness throughout the entire resort was outstanding. Everywhere you looked there were staff constantly cleaning, tidying, and maintaining the grounds. The hotel was absolutely spotless from morning until night, which really stood out. The vibes at the pool and beach were really great and we loooooved the activities such a great touch. The food was fantastic with plenty of choice, and every meal was fresh and delicious. A special mention has to go to the breakfast- it was honestly the best hotel breakfast I've had in years. The quality, variety, and freshness were exceptional. The whole resort was beautifully maintained, had a wonderful atmosphere, and everything was organised so well. Overall, I genuinely can't fault a thing. Everything was 10/10, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be returning!”

“We wanted a relaxing place to unwind after getting married and we were not disappointed. Penelope made check in very smooth. When she learned we had just got married, she sent us a bottle of champagne. It’s little touches like that from the staff that made our stay. The hotel itself is beautiful and very relaxing. There are superb facilities. The place is slightly remote, but you can get around easily by bus, car or taxi. The food is out of this world, making breakfast and other meals a real pleasure. The games room is a really nice touch too! However, it’s the staff that makes this stay. Both Penelope and Uxue gave us so many local recommendations for food and activities and they never let us put a foot wrong. We had the time of our life and would definitely return. Just a wonderful stay in every way. Thank you. Highly recommended.”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Le Mer during our stay at Kimpton Crete. The setting is simply stunning, with beautiful views by the sea and pool creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing meal and drinks. The food was excellent, the cocktails were superb, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. What truly made the experience special, however, was the outstanding service. Manolis and his team were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring guests had a great time. Their friendliness and professionalism elevated an already wonderful experience. The massages we had at the spa were excellent! Just what we both needed! Whether you're looking for a memorable lunch, sunset drinks, or a special dinner by the water, Le Mer is a must-visit. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Crete. Thank you, Manolis and the entire team, for making our visit so memorable!”
