Accommodation was good as was the food. Kids pool was excellent but the adults pool was too deep. 1.7 metres all over, and only accessible from two ends. OK if you are a good swimmer. The walled jaccuzzi was underwater and we saw several swimmers hit their heads on it. The hotel pool staff held games and exercises every afternoon... More

We are a family of 2 adults, an 11 year old girl and an 8 year old boy. What made the hotel for me was the staff (especially reception). Always happy to help, despite the very long hours they work, 7 days a week. The waterslides shown on the travel republic website have been gone for years. It is best... More

We arrived during the middle of the night and the staff... More

Me, hubby and two sons ages 10 and 8 stayed at Hotel Petra Mare for 11 nights in August. We hired a car as we had read that the transfer takes a long time, it took us just under 2 hours to travel between Heraklion and Ierapetra, with beautiful views all the way. The hotel is right on the beach... More

After several years we had the opportunity to get away and wanted a relaxing holiday. We decide we wanted a place that had some historic attractions but really this time we simply wanted to spend most of the time bathing in the sun, sand and sea. Our Travel agent friend here in Budapest gave us a few offers and we... More
