Seaside A Lifestyle Resort - Adults Only

Perfect if you want a relaxing romantic vacation! I would highly recommend the suite on the rocks it was amazing ! The views were stunning especially at sunrise! The food was delicious and hats off to the pastry chef as the desserts were the best I have ever had! I highly recommend the spa and the services there were so relaxing! All of the spa staff were so friendly and professional.

Beautiful views, beautiful food, staff were so kind and friendly. worth every penny. Stayed in the suite on rocks with private pool, very clean very spacious room. Bath and shower included. Food was 10/10. Freshly prepared and different variety daily. If you stay in the suites, be cautious there is a lot of up hill walking but you can call reception for them to pick you up in a cart. Will be returning next year.

Just returned from week here in one of the seaview suites. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Staff, food, drinks, atmosphere, views, all first class. This is the first time my wife and I have tried all inclusive and it certainly didn’t let us down. I would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you for making our week away very special.

This was my first solo trip. This resort is truly special. Amazing facilities, rooms I had a full sea view, food, drinks and the staff really make this place. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Truly 5 star!

We really couldn’t recommend Seaside enough. We came here for our honeymoon and it really was the best holiday we have ever been on. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lovely reception staff, and were given a sea view room upgrade. A bottle of Róse was also waiting in our room for us. The room was perfect, and in an ideal location on the site. The food was amazing, we visited the three A La Carte restaurants during our stay, and each one was brilliant (Umi was our favourite!). Even the ‘standard’ buffet restaurant was very very good with plenty of variety. We booked in for Spa treatments on one of the days, and had a facial massage and a back massage (these treatments were fairly expensive, but SO worth it). All of the staff on site were amazing, and each one catered to our every need, they were all very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Our favourite waiter had to be young Denys - he’s such a friendly guy who was rushed off his feet every night, but still kept smiling every night. The location of Seaside is a bit isolated and there isn’t much around, however the hotel has everything on site (such as a gym and a mini market) so there’s no need to leave the resort much - if you do, then Heraklion is only 45mins on the coach. Overall, there really isn’t one reason to fault Seaside. We had an amazing 7 nights. The only downside was having to come home 😢 Highly recommend!

We stayed here for 5 nights and the resort itself is absolutely stunning, so well-kept, and beautifully designed. Everywhere is aesthetically pleasing and Instagram-worthy, with amazing interior touches that give it a really luxury feel. We had a Cape Suite with a private pool, and it was gorgeous. The pool area was peaceful with sea views, comfortable loungers, and the water temperature was just right. The restaurants are beautifully styled with some of the most incredible views, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful , especially the lovely lady at the pool bar and the lady greeting you at the buffet. The buffet food was great too overall. That said, there were some disappointing elements that stopped it from feeling like a full 5-star experience: Dining: None of the à la carte restaurants are included in the all-inclusive package. They cost €98 per visit, and drinks aren’t included either. We arrived and went straight to book a few evenings in the restaurants, only to be told they were fully booked for our entire stay bar 1 the last night. You can’t book in advance before arriving either, which makes it frustrating. We were lucky to grab a couple of last-minute cancellations, and although the meals were lovely, we ended up paying nearly €200 for just two nights, plus another €40 each night for a bottle of wine. No room service or poolside drink service: There’s no way to order food or drinks to your room or your private pool. You have to go get them yourself, which really takes away from the luxury feel, especially when you’ve paid for a private suite it would have been nice to order some lunch to our pool and some cocktails through the day. Cocktails: Only around half the cocktail menu was included in the all-inclusive. My favourite Cocktails like margaritas or mai tais came weren’t included and about €11. The free ones were served in standard glasses or pint glasses with no garnish or presentation even on an evening! more like a bar mixer than a resort cocktail. At other 5-star resorts like IKOS, pages of cocktails are all included and beautifully presented in varied glasses with salt rims etc. Entertainment: This was probably the weakest part of the experience. In the evenings, there was usually a singer or DJ for about an hour in a bar area with not much atmosphere - no one really dancing or interacting, and once the entertainment finished, it was very quiet again. During the day, there were no activities or entertainment at all, which was a surprise given how often this is mentioned in other reviews yet nothing done to enhance the entertainment programme This is genuinely a beautiful, very peaceful resort with so much potential, but a few key areas let it down. With a bit more attention to the all-inclusive offering and the overall guest experience, it could easily be a true 5-star. For now as it has the conditions and venue for it as well as lovely attentive staff but those mentioned above , I’d say it’s a 4
