Fabulous 1 bed apartment with beautiful sea views. Bed was comfotable and good aircon. Pool areas were good and gardens were beautiful. All in all a great place to stay and relax.

Everything was quite well, expect two things that I didnt like. We had a private pool, which during our stay (12 nights) was not cleaned, the floor of the pool was very dirty. We requested a late check-out due to our cruise leaving at 9 PM, and our request was to stay up to 4 PM, which was not accepted. Hotel was quite empty, there was nobody check-in in our room that day, they approved only till 2 PM.. I suggest Marni Village to be more friendly with its guests!

lovely swimming pools, attractive gardens and views

We enjoyed our stay at Marni Village! The room was relatively basic but had everything we needed and most importantly, a comfortable bed. The walls are pretty thin and we heard some noise from the driveway but nothing horrible - it wouldn't stop me from staying there. I can't speak to the food because we didn't eat there. It was nice to have the option of different pools to go to, because the main one fills up very fast. People "reserve" chairs starting from 7:30am, so if you want to get a nice spot, you have to wake up early. You do need to bring your own beach/pool towel as they are not provided. The town is also very adorable with great restaurants (Nikos the Fisherman and Iokasti Cafe in particular). The souvlaki place nearby is also delicious and inexpensive!

Lovely place very pretty gorgeous rooms with views, lovely villages immaculate pools, very good food at bar, best meatballs ever.

I had a chance to stay on one of the Luxury villas. You could tell everything was new by how clean it was. The views were spectacular and having the private pool really made the trip.

All the staff were so friendly & helpful right down to the cleaners. Everything was spotless and clean. Location was nice & quiet. However our room 218 was not as expected from looking at photos online. The room was alot smaller and gardens not as nice as others. Maybe we were just unlucky with the room allocation. Overall we would recommend and return as we loved Koutoulafari.

Lovely place really enjoyable.

Lovely place, staff are really friendly. It is situated on a hill so great views but not so good walking to your room, you do need to be able bodied to stay here

Helpful, friendly staff. Rooms a bit basic but still comfortable

Loved the location and friendly staff. Pool bar food was sublime as well and great value for money. The bbq they do is brilliant value for money and they get everyone involved dancing!

Good hotel, family friendly with live entertainment and well priced spa treatments available

Area is lovely with beautiful village of Koutoulafari right outside. Wonderful to stroll around. Marni has loads of potential but they really are minimalistic - absolutely nothing in the rooms or bathroom besides some liquid soap. we assume this may not be the case in the height of summer and that they were busy closing up for the winter.

great location for evry amenity nice time had by all

Comfortable apartment surrounded by beautiful gardens. Location was ideal: close to bakeries and restaurants, and a short walk from town. A very nice stay at the end of the season.

Lovely hotel with a choice of 3 pools, top one quieter and lovely view. Great food at the pool bar but stays open very late so noise isnt great at 12 - 3am in the morning most nights (music and laughter)

Arrived very late, 1.30am, we were greeted by a very friendly cheery receptionist who showed us to our room. The rooms are adequate, beds comfy but nowhere indoors to sit comfortably. Thankfully we could sit outside most of the time. Staff were very friendly at all times. Only issues were ants! On the patio is ok I suppose but in the bathroom is not. Our son found one in his bed one morning. Views from our room were good and the hotel is only a short walk into Koutouloufari which has lots to offer by way of eateries. A good choice no matter what you want to eat.

Arranged with hotel for pick up from the airport which was helpful as the flight arrived late around 11pm. On arrival the receptionist Oxi was so helpful and we were upgraded for 3 of our 4night stay, we paid extra for the air con and safety deposit box and also to stay in the room for a late check out. The hotel is clean and we didnt have a problem getting sunbeds, we are in the hotel a couple of times and the food was good. There are sometimes singers etc in the evening. Room has hairdrier towels washing up liguid liquid soap fridge microwave. We walked down to the beach but took a taxi back for 7 Euro. The staff are so helpful and organised.

Was very good

Lovely place in beautiful and picturesque setting. Traditional Cretan village. Welcoming and friendly. Great for a relaxing holiday.plenty of places to see, lovely walks, lots of great eaterys serving traditional Greek menu. Highly recommended.

Marni village is a lovely garden complex with 3 pools, high up overlooking the coast, but only 20 mins walk down to the beach. The village of Koutouloufari is a few minutes away & contains numerous great restaurants & bars. We had a very large (superior) apartment, which was lovely & spacious, although rather dark & somewhat tatty in places. The area we were in had the apartments quite close to one another, so that our bathroom window overlooked others terraces - which was a slight privacy issue. It looked like the units higher up the hill were more spaced apart. Good reception, great book swap, showers in the reception for late check out.

Loved the patio, large rooms, kitchen area! The pool was nice with fab views. Easy check in, room was as promised, beds were okay, bathroom was clan and fine.

Great place generally though have to be selective about rooms and few have a decent view or position. They need to get their act together with better WiFi, English TV, and slightly less basic kitchen facilities.

Our third stay at Marni. We were very late arriving thanks to a dodgy sat nav, but they left the key in the door for us and let us check in the next day! We opted for the larger apartment and the value for money is ridiculous. The grounds are a credit to the gardeners- it really is very well kept and beautiful. You look out to sea in one direction, and up to the hills in the other. Bliss. The water wasn't massively hot the first couple of days but that soon sorted itself. Koutouloufari is a stones throw away and you'll be hard pressed to have a duff meal there. We really like Nikos The Fisherman and Emanuelles. I'm sure we'll be back again in years to come.

Two studio rooms side by side for 2 adults and 2 children. absolutely ideal. Lovely choice of eating places in local Tavernas. A long walk down to the beach, but all downhill and got a taxi back. Visited a reptile recue centre which everyone enjoyed, the owners informative and really delightful.Everyone we met in Crete were friendly and welcoming. My Grand-daughter had an ear infection and the local medical centre diagnosed the problem, took a no nonsense approach and gave her penicillen, and followed her up with 3 further appointments. Certainly not the medical help we have been used to.

Had a wonderful holiday here at Marni Village, again. This is our 2nd time here. Certainly we would go back again. If you are looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday, this is the place to go. We stayed in a studio which was very comfortable and suited our needs. Everyone at the resort goes out of their way to make sure you have the holiday you are looking for. The setting is very beautiful and relaxing.

Lovely family run place. Very cheap and jut what I needed. Huge bed, kitchen, TV etc it is only 3* but truly good for its class. Would go again if in Crete for sure. So cheap!!! The nearby beach is not so nice though but the bus stop to the centre is near enough so you have better options there. Do visit this hotel!!!!

Stayed a few nights before heading of to main place of stay. All good, hope to come back here for another two nights before flying home.

Very good value for money. Good facilities. Great pools.

My friend and I stayed at Marni Village for four days and had a wonderful experience. The price was extremely cheap for everything that we got - an "apartment" type room with a kitchenette, dining area, balcony, two beds and spacious bathroom. Plus, there was free wi-fi in the lobby, which was important to us since we're traveling students. The Village was walking distance to the main town and sea and very close to supermarkets and bakeries. The staff was wonderful and very helpful with helping us plan our excursions.

Marni village was very pretty, set in the hills away from the hustle and bustle noisey night life, yet close enough to get there if that's what you want! Hotel staff were very helpful. Rooms were cleaned, sheets changed regularly, which was lovely - had beautiful view of the sea. Highly recommend it, as long as you can manage hills or hire a car!
