Room - beachfront - absolutely worth paying extra for this, beach is lovely and kept clean. Water clean, warm and can walk in approx 100ft into the sea and still touch sea floor. Perfect environment for families with young children. All staff were impeccably polite , attentive and aimed to please, from hotel reception, bar staff, housekeeping, restaurant staff Food in restaurant was excellent- superb range of foods on buffet, delicious desserts, always topping up fresh watermelon, honey due melon, pineapple, oranges, apples, peaches, bananas in abundance Food was very tasty , great selection of breads, cheeses. Entertainment was available on some of the nights , violin player, singer, saxophone player all were great Lovely range of shops within walking distance , and bus and taxi straight into Chania old town. Had a very relaxing time and will go back again!

The property was inconveniently located. The all inclusive meal plan was the same every day. No variation to speak of. Transportation is tricky since it’s a distance from town. The showers leak.

4/10 Fair

The property is very outdated. The towels are over laundered and the rooms are run down. The rooms are small and severely over priced for what it accommodates. The beach has no attendants and you must wake up early to reserve a lounge chair. We waited for 30 minutes to get clean towels. I have traveled all over Europe and never stayed in such a hotel. I would never recommend this hotel.

Vacation

I stayed at this hotel for one week and paid 170 euros per night. It states that its a 4 star hotel. Its maximum a 3 star hotel. Whoever states otherwise hasent travelled in their life. Rooms are like 100 years old. Bathrooms are old and the waterpipes loud. In the room you cab here your neighbor talk, go to the toilet and whenever a neighbor door closes its like a bomb going of. Impossible to sleep. Mosquitoes in the room and i spent the night killing all of them because it’s impossible to sleep aince they keep biting you. So take into consideration to apend 2 hours every night killing mosquitoes. Pool was old and very few sunbeds. If you are not the first person to the pool you will have to amtry and get a bed at the beach. Beach area not so nice. Too many rocks before getting into the water. Breakfast was the worst experience ever. Very few varieties and tasteless and to so attractive at all. Restaurant had no aircondition so you start the dlday sweating or you can sit outaide and sweat in the sun. The dont have a lugageroom which is important since there are many people with a later flight than morning flights. If going to grecce if you dont book a 5 star hotel dont go there. And for the prices they are charging it’s definitely not worth going. They have such a low standard that it’s ridiculous. Around the hotel area there are shops and restaurants. All the shops prives are ridiculously high. Alomst a scam for what they are charging tourists.

Hotellet består av to forskjellige seksjoner. En ved stranda og en på andre siden av veien. Det er kun bassengområde på hotellet over veien, med tilhørende bar. Jeg hadde allinclusive og dette var helt supert alternativ på dette hotellet - god mat og masse forskjellig drikke å velge mellom.

Oppholdet levde opp til forventingene. Rommet var helt ok, men fasilitetene var veldig bra. Aldri problemer med å få solseng, hverken ved strand eller øverste bassenget (er to bassenger). Vi var der fra 0830-11. Så også gjennom dagen at det var ledig til og fra, så dette hadde ikke vært en bekymring. Kan bli litt fullt i det nederste bassenget, men der er det mest barnefamilier. Øverste bassenget var roligere, og lå tett opptil èn av de to restauratene de hadde. God og variert mat, og drikke. Buffet hadde bra utvalg, og a-la carte var det høy kvalitet over. Litt dårlig isolert akkurat vårt rom, men det var pga problemer med døren. De hadde også et ok hotellgym. Finnes nok bedre barnehoteller, med underholdnig eller lekestativer, men for alle andre er dette helt perfekt.

Front desk did not give any information related to the all inclusive perks. We could not reserve a la carte dining because we did not know we had to reserve 24 hours ahead. We received the info the next day in English. They would not give us a late check out, even by an hour and did not offer a place to shower in the interim. Our room was a good distance from all activities by the beach. People would reserve beach chairs early and not use them. No one was enforcing the rules. No water sports or hotel activities at this location. Housekeeping was good The rooms were clean and large. Nice and clean pools. The beaches are very nice there.

Quattro stelle scadente

La struttura non é un 4 stelle. Sono più strutture assemblate. Salone ristorante con sedie con cuscini sporchi e maleodoranti. Pochi ombrelloni in spiaggia e nelle due piscine. Animazione inesistente, in una settimana i bambini sono stati coinvolti nei giochi in piscina una sola volta e per breve tempo. Bella la zona nuova ma vecchio tutto il resto. Nel bagno la porta sbatteva contro il gabinetto. Lenzuola e teli mare forati e macchiati. La vista giardino era inquietante. La struttura é attraversata dalla strada principale e per raggiungere spiaggia e ristorante c'è un tunnel sporco da attraversare. Personale per nulla cordiale ad eccezione di pochi. Il mare non eccezionale. Cibo nella norma, buoni veramente solo i dolci. Forse un tre stelle. Inesistente il supporto di hotel.com ma le lamentele per questo saranno gestite in separata sede.

Great family holiday,go during UK school holiday

This hotel is made by the staff, they are awesome and all deserve a pay rise. We had some hick ups with the room and the misunderstanding about what’s included in the Ultra All Inclusive upgrade. But everything was sorted promptly by the amazing staff even the general manger knew who we was and come to check we’re happy. Iftihis in a la cart restaurant was amazing and really good with our 2 year old girl. Staveros was amazing and makes the best cocktails(attention to detail) Anna at Guest relations was very friendly and kind and Christina at check in was super helpful and kind. It has to be said that the Ultra Inclusive is still only partially inclusive but it’s WELL WORTH the money!!!!! The only unpleasant we had was with the other guests! But the hotel can’t help that their in the business of filling rooms and large groups of people from the old eastern block do just that!!! It must be a cultural thing but we found them very very rude and unfriendly, a pair of old couples nearly push my daughter down the stairs cause they was in a hurry and didn’t even say sorry. They never say hello or smile and my little girl desperately tried to play with the other kids but they wasn’t interested instead they pushed her over. Maybe we went wrong time of year for guest from UK(early June). I just want to confirm we had an amazing holiday and would go again and I’m only mentioning it so guest can make an informed decision. We will miss Santa Marina, until next 😀

Myg og dårlig internet på værelset

Det var rent og pent på hotellet, personale venlig, men vi kunne ikke sove roligt pga myg om natten... derudover næsten ingen internet på værelset og den samme noget kedelig morgenmad. Vi har savnet pandekager eller spejleg som bliver lavet når vi kommer til morgenmad, maden har tit været lun eller for kold især ved luknings tid.

Sehr Strandnah und gemütlich

Insgesamt schönes Hotel. Ein Teil am Strand der andere durch einen Tunnel mit dem anderen Teil (Straße gegenüber) verbunden. Wir waren auf der Seite ohne Strand dafür hat es den Pool. Essen war gut und das Personal sehr nett. Was man sich sparen kann ist die hauseigene Masseurin, fast das gleiche Preis wie in Deutschland aber wesentlich schlechter!
