The hotel is very conveniently placed right by the sandy beach. The room was very clean and generally the hotel areas are clean. The staff are very friendly and service was excellent.
Could do with outside toilets and changing rooms, so guests wouldn't have to go back to their room after a swim.

Property is a bit old style. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good breakfast and in general, food is good
Location and s good and got its private beach and sunbeds etc.
But its mainly for certain age group, mostly above 60 or so.
Location is a good to go to Platanias as well as Chania, short cab or bus drive to both those places for bars, restaurants and night life.

My husband and I chanced upon this property as we looked for a beach hotel.
Our first impression was met with a very warm welcome. During our stay we were so impressed we requested to extend our stay. Katerina was a wonderful host and this request was painless. Nothing is too much for her to make sure you are happy and comfortable and walks in and out of reception to the pool checking her guests needs are met. Excellent customer Service. The pool is clean and sparkling. Breakfast service impeccable. We are so impressed with this small private but comfortable hotel. Gold stars!

Amazing hotel with great ocean views and awesome food! They change up the breakfast and dinner every day so you never get bored of the same food! The staff is also very friendly and nice.

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and it was a last minute decision to book there. The position of the hotel is excellent - straight on the beach, with private beach of the hotel, and that’s exactly what we’ve booked this hotel for, together with the wish of having some fresh breeze and sound of the waves entering our room. For this we’ve originally booked a beachfront double, but managed to change for a suite, which had a large terrace overlooking the sea and the beach. As fantastic as it sounded, we could hardly keep the door to our terrace open, as our suite turned out to be just above/next to a kitchen, so instead of fresh air we’ve had smell of kitchen and some grill all the time. The hotel overall seemed to be something of an assembly line, in which there were so many guests, that, either because were not enough hands or time to clean the rooms thoroughly, the room didn’t give us an idea of freshness. The breakfast in the hotel is probably ticking all the boxes in terms of items to choose from in the breakfast buffet, but was very basic and didn’t impress us with the great quality. Then there was some language barrier, too, as a chef at the egg station didn’t manage to understand what “fried eggs” was. That said, the reception staff was friendly and the beach bar was fairly good. To sum up, great location, but only OK hotel.

Great location and amazing private beach. Hotel staff is extremely helpful and friendly.
The hotel per se however is outdated. The pool area is not appealing and breakfast could have been better. The bedroom was old, but decent size. Balcony of our room was dirty and with a broken chair, and the bathroom was a little dirty.

The hotel is nice and staff very careful. Unfortunately the first room we had was directly on the very noisy street in front of the hotel and we couldn't sleep at all because of the noise. We asked if we could have an other room and the one we were given had its air conditionning broken...and it was 40 degrees outside. The room didn t get cooler then 30... when we informed the reception they said the technician came and said the air conditionning was working properly and the room was cool but not at all. So at the end, we didn t sleep for 3 days and all we got was a fan! I was so disapointed and it occulted all the friendly staff's effort to make our stay enjoyable.

We made a reservation and received a confirmation from Hotels.com few weeks in advance, and our credit card was charged. Called the hotel the day before arrival just to ask a few informative questions. Someone answered the phone and told me that the hotel is closed for the season. Few hours after that, I received an email from the hotel that they are indeed closed and proposed to move me to an affiliated hotel (which did not meet our needs). So few hours before the flight, we had to find another place to stay and change our trip plans and itinerary.
COULDN'T YOU TELL US THAT WHEN YOU RECEIVED THE RESERVATION?
Called Hotels.com - they were not aware of the fact that the hotel is closed - in their view we had to pay the entire amount because they thought we checked in. Eventually, this was resolved, but that's certainly not the type of service you would expect

We truly enjoyed our 5 night stay here. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay exceeded our expectations. The breakfast buffet was the best weve ever had with ample choices and variety. The grounds were beautiful and the views breathtaking. Literally steps from a beautiful, private beach. The rooms were cozy - we stayed in room 115 which is basement level. We were pleasantly surprised that even the basement rooms have a private terrace. The beds were very firm, but overall comfortable room. If youre looking for a quiet place to relax, this is the place. Very pleased with our stay. Thank you!!!

Based off the rating and name I thought it would be a much nicer hotel than what it was.

We booked the room and didnt notice that in the paragraph it said basement. Nowhere else was written this. The day we were flying there we noticed that it said basement and contacted the hotel for an upgrade and to pay the difference. The hotel said that they were fully booked and all the other hotels in the group had no available room. They refused to refund us and we checked in the UNDERGROUND room. It was like being in a HOLE, you COULDNT RELAX OR SLEEP because all the hotels engines and fans were at the room next to us. One day we informed the hotel that if they do not change us room or refund us we would call the police due to the TERRIBLE NOISE next to our room. Magically a room was available at another group hotel and we moved there. Very unfriendly staff, terrible staying. Only one man at the reception was very friendly. NEVER AGAIN IN THIS HOTEL. STAY AWAY.

Great location as a base for the whole area and really nice hotel with staff who couldn't be more friendly or helpful especislly the reception and breakfast crew. Hotel almost had a boutique feel about it as it felt that personal.
Great restaurants nearby the staff recommended and would definitely go there again.
Only minor things I would improve would be more fresh fruit at breakfast but that may be a Greek thing and a bed that could handle a passionate night!
We both loved it

We really enjoyed our stay. On arrival we were a bit disappointed with our sea view. We were on the ground floor and had to sit outside to see the sea and was not the view we expected from the photos. However the room itself and the hotel more than made up for this. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was excellent with so much choice of food. I had an accident and dislocated my shoulder. The staff were fantastic at sorting out my trip to hospital and made the remainder of my stay as comfortable as it could be. It was my partners first stay in an adults only hotel and he found this side of the hotel very enjoyable. The hotels location so close to the beach was so good. We would certainly return to this hotel.

We had a wonderful experience in this nice hotel. The staff was friendly and spoke English. They gave recommendations along with a map on how to get to other areas outside of Chania. The breakfast was delicious and had so many choices! The view from our balcony was gorgeous. I loved being able to just walk a few steps on to the beach. There was plenty of choices in the evening including a romantic dinner on the beach or walking/close driving distance to many delicious restaurants. The only minuses was parking could be difficult, and the restaurant forgot our salad that was supposed to come with our lunch. But those minuses were minor and barely worth mentioning. I highl recommend this jewel, especially as an adult getaway for relaxation and romance.

This is a great hotel to use as a base for travelling around the west side of Crete. It is right on the beach and close to restaurants. We rented a car a few of the days that we were there to go to Elafonisa, and the Irini Gorge. The front desk staff were able to arrange anything we needed. We also took a bus and taxis from this hotel as well, so it is easy to get around. The breakfast is quite extensive, but the restaurant staff were not very friendly. The front desk staff on the other hand were extremely helpful and professional.

We had a wonderful time in Greece and this was helped greatly by the hotel and the team. Despite what must have been a challenging week in Greece the attention to the food, our room and assistance was great. Very good value too.

The holiday didn't get off to a good start because they were overbooked and I was shipped off to another hotel for the first night. However, after that, I couldn't fault it. Spacious rooms and en suites, extra large and very comfortable beds, good balcony with excellent view over pool and sea. Very good buffet breakfast; good lunch menu poolside; good dinner buffet.

A problem with availability of our rooms on arrival was dealt with expeditiously and resolved after two days (during which we were offered apartments and free evening meals).

Very nice hotel, clean rooms and all. Staff for the most part very friendly except the server at the buffet who told me my "zaros" water bottle was forbidden (even though we werent using it, just had it with us as we were taking it with us on our day trip).
Also the beach was surpringly nice in front of the hotel and the water was warm and clean.
Only real issue was that on our 2nd night the Air conditioning stopped working and it got pretty hot, so the lack of AC and the generally uncomfortable bed made it not a very restful sleep.

Santa Marina Plaza is overpriced for what it offers. It has very basic amenities, a pretty nice beach and pool, terrible food and spotty service. Compared to other hotels we have stayed in Europe in the same price range, this hotel was very disappointing. The rooms are very sparse (but clean) but the worst part was definitely the food. Breakfast was mediocre at best and dinner was disgusting so we were forced to leave for every meal. Our wakeup call was 20 minutes late when we needed to leave for the ferry. We didn't have hot water for 2 nights. We had hoped for more.
