Why choose an all-inclusive hotel in Crete?

What to do in Crete with your family

1. It reassures the whole family

All-inclusive packages offer many advantages. They reassure first-time travelers, who may be worried at the idea of setting off alone to a country they don’t know, and whose language they don’t speak. Some establishments even offer to pick you up when you land at the airport!

2. Parents’ relaxation time!

As a family, they give parents a chance to breathe and relax, as they can leave their children to do their own thing in complete safety, either in the club or with the activity leaders.

3. A more economical type of stay

An all-inclusive holiday in Crete is economical! You won’t have to take out your wallet for meals: you’ll be provided with a minimum of board and lodging.

4. Everyone does what they like in Crete

And, contrary to what you might think, they offer a great deal of freedom. There’s no obligation! You can choose to take part in the activities you like, or just relax by the pool.

What to do in Crete with your family

  • the Lassithi plateau
  • or the Dikteon cave.

For activities more suited to children (and parents), La Crète Autrement recommends the magnificent Cretaquarium in Heraklion (capital of the Greek island), the Acqua Plus Water Park in Heraklion, and visits to the unique Greek sites of Elafonisi and the island of Chrissi, off the coast of Crete!

Frequently asked questions – All inclusive hotels Crete

Why choose an all-inclusive hotel in Crete?

Opting for an all-inclusive hotel in Crete means you can enjoy a no-holds-barred vacation on a magical island: Greek meals, drinks, activities (beaches, archaeological sites, tours) and services are all included in the price. It’s the ideal way to control your budget, avoid unexpected expenses and enjoy a totally relaxing stay. As Crete is a very touristy island, “all-inclusive” also guarantees easy access to food, facilities and entertainment, even in high season.

What does an all-inclusive package in Crete usually include?

The package generally includes accommodation, three main meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), drinks, snacks, access to the pool, beach or hotel activities. Top-of-the-range establishments may offer additional services: themed restaurants, spa, entertainment, kids’ club, shows, or even areas reserved for adults. Offers vary from hotel to hotel, so it’s important to check in detail what’s really included.

Is all-inclusive suitable for all travellers?

This formula is particularly suited to families and couples looking for comfort, as well as to travelers looking for an unorganized stay. Entertainment, swimming pools, buffets and kids’ clubs will appeal to those who prefer to relax. On the other hand, travelers who like to explore Cretan gastronomy, discover the villages and get out of the resort may find the formula a little restrictive, as it encourages them to stay within the confines of the hotel.

When is the best time to book an all-inclusive hotel in Crete?

The ideal periods are May, June and September: the weather is excellent, the sea is pleasant and rates are often better than during the high season. In July and August, prices rise sharply, and hotels are busier. To get the best all-inclusive rates, it’s advisable to book several months in advance, especially for the most popular seaside hotels.
