"Beautiful hotel. Only issue was lack of extra blanket in the room. Couldn’t get the air conditioning or heat controls to work. Was told in the morning that we could have called any time to get help. It was late in the evening so we didn’t bother. Did not have the breakfast. Very convenient location and free parking. Would highly recommend. "
"We stayed 2 nights. The facility is not new and the room and bathroom on the small side, but it was clean and well kept. Location was fantastic, we had an ocean view room and it was a short walk to the old harbour and the vibrant restaurant and shopping streets. Breakfast included hot and cold items and the area was kept clean. Overall good value for the price. "
"First would like to say I'd definitely come back to this hotel on my next holiday to Crete. The hotel is quite massive and lovely to walk around on a warm night. The room and the balcony was spotless. Didn't see much I didn't like about this hotel, many locations to sunbathe, swim and relax.
Some of the hotel staff are polite and helpful especially the bartenders on the 17.00 shift on blue bar and the bar by the Olympic size pool, it was easy to have a conversation with them and they gave good recommendations on where to go and what to see around the island.
The cleanup crew (as nice as they are) do not have patience, my do not disturb sign was on and countless times they knocked and walked in without waiting for an answer back which was an inconvenience cause we was either sleeping or getting changed.
The food at the main restaurants had a good selection, tastey and filling. I personally enjoyed lunch in the restaurant by blue bar and the snack bar. The kebab best I've ever tasted. Although some of the desserts taste like they had been out for quite while.
The hotel had a lot to offer in terms of entertainment every day was something new and was quite enjoyable.
There are shops, restaurants, bars and a bus stop as soon as you exit the hotel which is very convenient."
"We had a stunning stay in the luxury suite with our private infinity pool a few steps from the bed. The room was very comfortable and the food was plentiful and tasty for all meals. Staff were very helpful and friendly at all times as well."
"Really great stay in Chania. Amazing location where you can walk along the water to the Old Town. Clean hotel, spacious room with great amenities and friendly staff. The parking onsite was such a nice feature - best to book in advance of your stay to secure a spot. After a day of adventuring, it was so nice to know we’d have a guaranteed, convenient place to park when we got back to the hotel. Truly only have great things to say about this place after 7 nights there!"
"Had a wonderful experience at Creta Maris. Would recommend booking the theme restaurants as soon as you arrive to ensure you get to try the cuisine outside of the buffet although the buffet was good as well. Sometimes hard to find chairs by the pools but can generally find beach chairs. The staff were very friendly, would recommend the Nami wine cellar wine tour, the staff running it were very informative of the islands history and wines were very tasty."
"Food is disgusting, lots of options but really low quality. Decent hotel for families on a budget. If your a couple or young family (eg just a baby), go elsewhere !"
