With four restaurants and three bars, Serita Beach Hotel makes all inclusive dining feel varied and easy.

The Main Buffet Restaurant is the social hub, serving buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner with international dishes, Greek favourites and a dedicated kids’ buffet. Highchairs are available, and the dress code is relaxed but smart – no beachwear, and full-length trousers requested for gentlemen at dinner.

For a change of pace, you can book into one of the three à la carte venues (usually once per restaurant per stay with reservations):

• Italian Restaurant – A la carte Italian specialities for lunch and dinner by the pool, open seasonally.
• Ellinadiko Restaurant – Greek taverna-style dinners serving local Cretan dishes and meze.
• Asian Restaurant – Poolside Chinese-inspired dishes in the evening (seasonal, subject to occupancy).

Snacks, crepes and waffles are available at the Creperie Pool Bar for at least three hours daily, while drinks flow from the Lobby Bar and Pool Bar from mid-morning until late evening, with local beer, wine, spirits, selected cocktails and soft drinks included for a minimum of 12 hours per day.

Facilities, opening dates and reservation policies can vary by season and occupancy; check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Pool days are a highlight at Serita Beach Hotel, with three outdoor saltwater pools spread through the palm-dotted gardens.

• A spacious main pool with a separate children’s section, lined with sunbeds and parasols and allowing inflatables, sets the scene for relaxed family time.
• A second large saltwater pool offers extra space for a swim or lazy lounging.
• Kids get their own dedicated children’s pool with slides and a shallow splash area – inflatables and water toys are permitted, and there are plenty of sunbeds nearby for parents to keep an eye out.

All pools are typically open between mid-April and the end of October, weather and occupancy permitting.

The beach is just across the road from the hotel, giving you the freedom to mix poolside days with salty swims and seafront strolls with ease.

Stay as active or as laid-back as you like. The on-site gym (18+, seasonal opening hours) offers cardio equipment for a quick workout, while the daily activities programme mixes:

• Aqua aerobics and pool games
• Darts, table tennis and volleyball
• Five-a-side football and small team sports
• Yoga sessions

For downtime, the modest spa area provides massage and beauty treatments for guests aged 18+ (extra charges apply; seasonal opening).

Around the resort you’ll also find a handy mini-market for essentials, plus attractive landscaped grounds and terraces to wander. In the evenings, entertainment ramps up with quizzes, bingo, karaoke, in-house shows, live DJ sets and a kids’ mini-disco in season.
