Bungalow

The bungalows at Creta Beach were originally designed in the late 1960s by visionary architects who wanted to preserve the natural beach character and build discreet, low-rise chalets instead of towering hotels. Today, this concept is very important to Creta Beach's eco-friendly philosophy, which retains the charm of the original bungalows while completely modernizing them from the inside out. They feature the same amenities as the double rooms (B2A/B2B). Optionally available for single use (B1B).

Family Room

The spacious family rooms have four single beds and a balcony or terrace with a view of the hotel garden or the sea. The family rooms feature an additional bedroom (without a door). Authentic influences and modern, minimalist style meet, while guests can expect a clear, calm color scheme with vibrant accents and a traditional flair. It has a private bathroom with a bathtub and free toiletries. (Partially 1 bunk bed or 2 sofa beds, DF2).
