Crete late deal, 7 nights, £699, May

Crete late deal

Secret Escapes has a Crete late deal from £699 per person, saving £171. 

They are offering seven nights full-board at the five-star Aldemar Royal Mare & Thalasso, from Gatwick and Manchester on May 13, 20 and 27.

The hotel is in the resort of Anissaras on the outskirts of Hersonissos, just 25 minutes transfer from Heraklion Airport. It gets great reviews on TripAdvisor with one recent guest saying: “This hotel and all its staff totally exceeded our holiday expectations. We had a beachfront suite with private balcony, sun loungers, table and chairs for al-fresco dining and amazing sea views. The only noise at night was of the sea gently lapping against the shoreline.

“The weather was perfect at around 28 degrees with a cool breeze. We preferred to eat outside in the restaurants and there was always room to do this. The choice of food was excellent and varied with ‘Theme’ evenings keeping the whole family happy. In addition to the main restaurant there were also other restaurants to choose from.

“The staff were extremely professional and courteous and always willing with a smiling face from Elena the Reception Manageress to the restaurant and bar staff.”
