The Greek air, that Cretan sun and awesome Aegean Sea - welcome to another Destination MAXIM as we explore the opulence that is the Sea Side Resort & Spa...
DESTINATION MAXIM

THE CRETE ESCAPE

After a two year hiatus, Destination MAXIM is back! Last month we returned to the epic Acro Suites in Crete, Greece, and shortly after we took a stroll down to road to the amazing Sea Side Resort & Spa, where we turned up the fun factor! Two groups of stunning models joined us to bathe in the Cretan sunshine across various pools in this sprawling resort over Mononafis Bay. Besides basking in the opulence and enjoying the all-you-can-eat (and drink!) bars and buffet, our first group went on a thrilling quad bike adventure, while our second stepped into nature for a spot of mountain horse-riding.

Sea Side Resort & Spa is among the best that Crete has to offer unique location, consistent high standards, true hospitality, luxurious amenities and diverse dining options that will make your stay a unique holiday experience. Words cannot describe the incredible experience that Sea Side Resort & Spa provides. The service is unparalleled, the views expansive, the weather perfect and the food... just, wow! Every day we all looked forward to what the buffet would deliver and we were never disappointed with both the quality of cuisine and vast variety. And if we were after something a little more romantic and lavish, the finer dining experiences offered by UMI and Kullinarium were ready to deliver something extra special. UMI offers a harmonious synthesis between the culinary traditions of Peru and Japan, while at Kullinarium only natural products are used, supported by the "we do local" community of the island.

We are already planning our return trip! Thank you again for your incredible hospitality, Sea Side. Sea you soon!
