The first thing worth mentioning is that I was nervous about going to Creta Maris. An all-inclusive — and concerningly affordable — resort 25 minutes East of Heraklion, Crete, which in its peak months houses 2,000 guests. But we had a totally fantastic holiday, and after six days at the hotel I can honestly say I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m also a massive convert to all-inclusive holidays, which I’m surprised by myself.
As the type of hard working professional Rachel Reeves is determined to squeeze until the pips come out, it was such a relief not to have to constantly shell out £100 for family meals. To have a holiday where money no longer really exists was unbelievably liberating. Not to mention how great it is that a holiday you think is going to cost 'X' actually costs what you predicted.
