Seaside A Lifestyle Resort - Adults Only

Wow, wow, wow! What can I say about this trip! I decided to do this trip on a whim and I'm so glad I did! It was just what the doctor ordered. I went during the last week of the season, so the weather was warm enough to sit out in the sun during the day but not scorching. The views were GORGEOUS. But I have to say that the best thing about Seaside was the staff. I was traveling alone (which I am used to), but it was nice to have such a friendly and warm welcome! I felt very taken care of and seen -- and not just because I was paying to be there, but I was treated with genuine kindness. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and was a little sad to leave once my stay was over. The views are amazing, the food is delicious, I had a wonderful spa day there but what makes this place truly stand out are the people!

The staff are the best, most attentive, polite and helpful people you could ever hope to meet. They bend over backwards to accommodate requests and could not be more forthcoming in offering solutions or suggestions to meet your needs. Cannot fault the staff in any way whatsoever, they are the most wonderful people. The food in all the restaurants is fantastic, the buffet is varied and extensive for all meals, with staff constantly monitoring, topping up and replacing dishes. The a la carte restaurants are fantastic - Minoan is Cretan, Oceano is Mediterranean and Umi is Asian fusion. We tried all three and enjoyed them very much. The menus are relatively small but there are usually 2 x meat, 1 x fish or seafood and 1 x veggie option available. The views from all three restaurants are stunning. Plenty of places to lounge, sit, and relax through the day, be it in the sun or shade. Great selection of drinks included in the all inclusive package including wines, cocktails and soft drinks. Towels are available from 10.30am onwards.

To begin with the SPA facility was wonderful, as well as the hairsalon, besides these the Japanese Restaurant was an extraordinary culinary experience. The lobster menu was a delicacy, but as a location, the view was out of this world and beautiful. We really appreciated the promptitude at which the personel responded to our requests, the personel was really kind and very professional. Their services were top of the line.

The Hotel is a real 5 stars, with extraordinary facilities! Since we arrived, they welcomed us with champagne and offered us the access to all the facilities even if the room wasn’t yet ready (arrived around 11 am). We had a sea view room with astonishing views, extremely clean and very beautiful style. The hotel is amazing, situated on the edge of a cliff, very nice architecture, modern look but classy at the same time. They also have access to a beach (the water is very clean). The food is very good! Very tasty and diverse, amazing sweets, and there are also the a la carte restaurants. Also the drinks are very good (imported, not local), bartenders are professionals, high quality products, from coffee to spirits or cocktails. The Staff is also professional, everyone is kind, polite, well trained and they really do their best to make you happy. The pools are great, with clear salted water, and bars around. I can say it’s the best hotel we’ve been in the whole Greece (not only Crete), and we saw more than 10 5 stars hotels in Greece till now. There is nothing I didn’t like, this is a truly 5 stars! 10 of 10 from me, and will come again for sure!

From the moment we got to Seaside Resort we were greeted by the most friendly staff, to the guys minding our bags to the ladies in reception, we couldn't have asked for a warmer and simpler check in process. We arrived early on our check in day and was kindly offered if we would like to avail of the buffet breakfast, this was not expected as we were arriving so early. We also got kindly upgraded to a fantastic room. The view from our room was nothing short of spectacular. We were only able to stay at the resort for two nights but we would love to return for a longer stay in the future! The food was very good with a good selection as the buffet. I didn't realise that the a la carte menus were an extra cost however I believe you are entitled to a meal if you stay seven nights. We did eat in one of the A La Carte Menus on one of our nights and it was really nice and the views are fantastic. We also need to mention the Gym Facilities, they are truly fantastic and the trainer was so friendly and accommodating! We also visited the spa for a massage on our stay which again was fabulous. We will definitely be back and will recommend to other friends visiting Crete
