Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, the Spanish hotel and resort chain, has reopened its 5-Star Iberostar Selection Creta Marine resort after a 2-year renovation project.
The seaside village resort – located in Panormo, in the north of Crete, will reopen on May 10 under Iberostar’s Selection brand and upgraded to 5* category, employing 150 people in the local area.
The resort boasts exclusive access to three picturesque beach coves on the Aegean Sea. It has been built to emulate the charming Cretan village it is neighboured by, with a mixture of brand new and refurbished airy rooms and sugar cube style bungalows designed by Greek architect Marios Ninos under two themes: Colonial and Palm Leaves.
The 361 rooms range from Sea-View Doubles with balcony whirlpools to Waterfront Family Bungalows and Deluxe Swim-up Sea View Suites.
“We have undertaken the renovation of Iberostar Selection Creta Marine with the utmost care and consideration to offer guests a premium home-from-home to enjoy the essence of a Greek seaside holiday village. The resort is defined by its privileged sea front location and its proximity to several charming Cretan villages, as well as a renewed and upgraded culinary offering that we hope will satisfy the needs of our guests,” said Finn Ackermann, Chief Commercial Officer at Iberostar Hotels & Resorts.
