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 for Creta Beach's eco-friendly philosophy, which retains the charm of the original bungalows but has completely modernized them from the inside out. They have the same amenities as the double rooms (B2A/B2B). Also 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 have an additional bedroom (without a door). Authentic influences and modern, minimalist style meet, while guests can expect clear, calm color schemes with vibrant accents and a traditional flair. It features an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub and complimentary toiletries. (Some with 1 bunk bed or 2 sofa beds, DF2).
