No entertainment. No activities. Old hotel. The all inclusive was Much too expensive .
8.0 / 10.0
- Definitely the beach was the most important highlight, the silkiest sand I have ever experienced. The waster was shallow for a long distance making it perfect for kids to play. Very low waves, so we were allowed to go to the sea all the days during our stay.
- Nice swimming pools
- Nice beach-bar and pool-bar both included in all-inclusive.
- Abundant variety of food in the restaurant
- Michael at the main bar was the nicest staff in the hotel and he's quite an asset. We really enjoyed his company during our stay.
- The gym old and damaged facilities made it basically unpractical.
- I didn't like the concept that the very basic drinks such as a Mojito or a cappuccino were not included in the all inclusive package and one had to pay extra to have them.
- The hotel is split into a part next to the beach and a part on the other side of the street. They are connected by a tunnel which goes underneath the street. The part near the beach is narrow and therefore the rooms facing the sea are close to the street from behind. The insulation is not very good, therefore you hear a lot of noise such has huge motorbikes in the middle of the night that wake you up.
- The AC was not strong enough to cope with the heat of July. It would take hours until the room cool off.
- The quality of the all-inclusive included house wines that we were offered at the restaurant were all terrible (rose, white and red). They should really see into offering something better. They don't need to be pricey to taste good. My tip to managers: Just use Vivino app and offer any cheap option above 4 in rating.
- There were mosquito showing up as the sun was going down and one could not enjoy outdoor very much.
- We expected variety of Greek edibles at the restaurant such as feta cheese and olive and olive oil and etc, but only basics were provided. In the grill section mainly pork was served which is the cheapest option in our opinion.

Location by the beach was fab
A little bit detached
8.0 / 10.0
The food - both quality and range was excellent.
Location right by the beach - able to sit on the terrace and look out.
Our room was v small. Double bed pushed against a wall. Bathroom also quite tight.
7.0 / 10.0
Sea view was spectacular - we didn't get bored of it within all 5 days (get prepared for ocean sounds). Friendly and helpful staff during breakfast time and also cleaning personnel (it's nice to see happy people during your vacations =] ). Parking lot is small, but yet - we always found that last spot left for us so lets leave it as well thought.
Facilities are quite outdated and need renovation for this price range. Sometimes it felt like in cheap Turkey/Egypt type chaos where beach sunbeds are always reserved with someones belongings and no one's coming during all day (first three days we couldn't find any spare place and when we finally did, we saw the process of elder people early morning madness- why shouldn't they when there's no order actually in place). I asked for early breakfast box and turned out that I did that a bit too late (after 7PM). That's my bad, but at least offer your guests an apple or a banana. That would've been nice:)
Breakfast itself was nice, but could've been better - it was hard to decide what to eat once again in last days of our stay.
My suggestion to the place - try not to waste what's built there, because it looks like it's been a nice place not so long ago.
And think about your own free Chania shuttle at least 5 times a day. That's what we enjoyed in other places nearby;)
10.0 / 10.0
We liked everything, nice staff, amazing room, nice food and it's right at the beach.
7.0 / 10.0
Beach was great.
Dead plants and trees in the garden, the pool view rooms lacked privacy, they could for example use some planting in front of them etc.
Food was ok but not very good, in the breakfast they diluted the orange Juice with some condensed Juice, not something you would expect from a 4 star hotel...
We didn't get the room we booked for some reason, they compensated it only after contacting the booking.com.
7.0 / 10.0
Position of the hotel is great.
Room was a bit on a smaller side. Bathroom and bathtub are small.
6.0 / 10.0
Location on the beach, staff.
There are some rooms which should not be allocated.
These rooms do not look at any rooms depicted on the website. (eg. no. 612)
8.0 / 10.0
beach front and good
a bit dated. rooms could do with a revamp
10.0 / 10.0
Everything was very nice. The location, the view, the gardens from the upper side of the resort, the pools and beach area.
Maybe the breakfast could have been more typically Greek and the music from the front garden could have been less louder for the ones having accommodation with a sea view.
9.0 / 10.0
Very good 4 stars hôtel. 2 pools with children space. Food was correct
9.0 / 10.0
location
Room doors are set to slam closed, resulting in a very noisy environment throughout the night.
9.0 / 10.0
Actually we were relocated to Santa Marina Plaza because we were told that there were'nt enough visitors to open the beach hotel. But overall we were very happy with the stay. We have never experienced such polite staff before. The service were world class!
We had booked a room at Santa Marina Beach with a real doubble sized bed, but after the relocation to Santa Marina Plaza we were given two single beds which were pushed together. Not the same comfort, but still fine.
10.0 / 10.0
Great location. Excellent room size in Pearl section.
Superb service with very good lunch and dinner, drinks in All-inclusive package were very good as well.

More facilities for kids.
8.0 / 10.0
Very clean, our room got cleaned every day and the cleaning lady was very kind and helpful(she deserves a raise). The waiters were very nice too.
The receptionist wasn't the most welcoming
The water in the pool was too cold, the sea was warmer.

Beautiful hotel just on the beach with great connection the city.
Variation on food at the buffet and very attentive waiters.

9.0 / 10.0
Staff, what an amazing feeling when you see always smiling people around. From day 1 to the last day they left us an amazing feeling and we were so excited. Clean swimming pools and rooms also worth mentioning, as well as an amazing view from our apartments. Live music shows in the evening and very closely located private beach, like 10 meters away.
The variety of food could be better, especially there was a lack of sea food like prawns and other. Maybe one day per week there could be something more special than chicken. Also, we had all inc stay and alcohol coctails tasted a bit different what we tried in different places. BE AWARE OF FREE DINNER IN AL A CARTE RESTAURANT. THEY CHARGE 3 EUROS FOR WATER AND THEY OPEN IT FIRST WITHOUT EVEN ASKING. SEEMS LIKE A SCAM.
