Sol Marina Beach Crete  

On Crete’s sun-soaked north coast, set on the seafront promenade of Gouves. The beach is literally at your front step—about 15 meters to sand—and the spot sits roughly 15–19 km from Heraklion and the airport, with Hersonissos a short drive away. An all-inclusive, family-friendly base for beach days and island nights.

Greek architecture meets local charm amid lush gardens and low-rise bungalows. There are 396 air-conditioned rooms, many refurbished in 2018, plus family-sized Cretan‑village bungalows. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, refrigerators and safes; minibars and in-room child care are available for a surcharge.

All-inclusive operations with two outdoor pools, a full spa offering massages and facials, outdoor tennis courts and a health club. Three bars and lounges, beachfront access, daily entertainment and a mix of family zones and adults‑only options. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and dive straight into the pool or sand.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a guest computer station. Concierge and 24-hour front desk service, plus dry cleaning/laundry and free self-parking.

A fully renovated main restaurant serves Greek, Mediterranean and international dishes with an emphasis on local Cretan flavors. Complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily (7:30–10:30). Three bars keep drinks and light bites flowing through the day and into the evening.
