Marigianna Apartments

Exceptional pool and bar area. Attentive staff- dad Manos works so hard. Vasillos and Skye behind the bar very good. Clean apartment with daily maid. Kitchenette a little basic and might benefit from toaster and coffee machine but not particularly an issue as we enjoy eating out

Small peaceful quiet location set a little back from the harbour. So always sunbeds, never queues at the pool bar. Fabulous clean pool side toilets. Small apartment (not being negative just factual) I think this is typical in Greece basic too and for Self catering there was a kettle, fridge, with small freezer two hobs and couple of saucepans. Didn’t matter to us as we ate out mainly and the pool food bar is lovely with great cocktails. There’s tonnes of restaurants around even tho sissi is small, with a fabulous t shirt shop round the corner, and two supermarkets. We had one air-conditioning unit in our one bedroom apartment which worked fine however we kept the bedroom door open so that the air-conditioning would flow into the lounge area where our children slept. Everything worked well, but the shower water does go all over the bathroom floor. No big deal as dried the floor mat out on the line daily in the sunshine. Lovely cleaners. Manos and Skye always busy and friendly. Billy was too until our friends queried their tab at the bar, then he started pointing his finger at us all, started smashing stuff at the bar and got very angry & defensive. Us Brits like an itemised bill and are used to seeing one. Not just numbers written in a book. No maliciousness intended. Overall this is a lovely setting but we won’t be coming back because of Billy and how he made us feel. This is a shame as doesn’t reflect on Skye and Manos who are wonderful. 2 family’s of 4, 4 adults 4 teens. Stayed for 12 nights. Ps we arrived at midnight to our keys left in a pigeon hole, no air con, I know it’s charged daily but would’ve been a nice gesture to have on for when we arrived. We also went out to local bar for bottled water after dumping cases.

Marigiana has been mind blowingly amazing. 1. The staff work super hard and are very kind at the same time. 2. The rooms are nice and clean and have lots of comfy beds. 3. There is a refreshing pool to play/relax in and quite often when people go home they leave there inflatables behind for everyone else to play on. 4. At the pool area, there is a pool table and air hockey that the pool table is 2 euros and the air hockey is 1 euro. 5. There are sun loungers for you to lie on and a climbing frame over on the grass You should definitely come here!

After all the great reviews could not wait to Visit The Marigianna Apartments in Sissi, and the reviews were bang on...Arrived late on Monday 5th of August and was quickly checked in by Manos , a lovely lovely man , then headed straight to the lovely poolside bar and welcomed by Vassilias with a cool beer...well the next 14 days were super.Brilliant relaxed atmosphere were sunbeds are never an issue.Vassilas and Sky word hard at the pool bar and restaurant and Manos is always busy with the upkeep of the whole place. Position wise excellent only a short stroll to the beautiful harbour were there are plenty of restaurants with super sea views..I would highly recommend the apartments and resort.. Thank you to Manos and family for looking after us so well. We will be back

We loved our stay at this hotel. Such a beautiful part of Crete. The hotel is family run and everyone works so hard. Lovely clean apartments which are cleaned regularly. The pool area is fantastic, no fighting over sunbeds as there are plenty. The pool is warm and you can just walk in comfortably. Manos works so hard and never stops. Billy's cocktails are amazing and loved being the guineapig for these. Food here was lovely. Such a friendly atmosphere here and we have booked to return next year. Sissi is a beautiful place, amazing views of the sunset from the Harbour. Cant wait to come back.

This place is a mixed bag. The pool area is absolutely perfect; crystal-blue water and almost obsessively clean. The family who run it are, like other reviews have pointed out, very hard-working and always strive to keep you happy. The apartments are basic, but serve their purpose adequately, so no complaints there. There is a warming, convivial atmosphere around the pool with the other guests, who respect your privacy but readily offer a hello and a bit of chat. There are several downsides as well unfortunately. The food available is rather basic, and for the sake of a few Euros more, you'd be better off going into Sisi (several days in a row no pasta was on offer, without any real explanation). Moreover, when we asked to split our tab for the bar at the end of our stay (as 4 young working men reasonably would), we were met with a rather blunt demand it be paid in full by one person; seeing as you can't view a breakdown of your bill, and how much you've spent on what particular items, it gets very confusing and leaves too much room for financial ambiguity. We were told the onus is on us to initially say we intend to pay separately at the end of our stay, which is a far-cry from a luxury experience. As tourists, this is undoubtedly something that should be explained to you. Having to pay for air-conditioning (€10 a day) was also new to us, but we were told it's quite typical in Greece; regardless, this doesn't exude luxury either. For the sake of a week's holiday, it should just be included in the pre-paid price. Overall, we did enjoy our stay here. As mentioned, Manos works tirelessly around the property at all hours of the day and is always welcoming, and the bar/pool area is absolutely fantastic, but this place could easily reach a whole new level of quality with a few minor tweaks.

I love this place. It’s in the beautiful location of sissi. It’s small but with a really beautiful large pool and gardens and a bar that serves food and drinks all day and into the early hours. Wonderful cocktails and nice food available all day. Apartments are very comfortable with nice balconies and good kitchens. The family that run the place are so welcoming and so hard working. It makes for a lovely holiday. There are lots of bars and tavernas to walk to. A few minutes walk takes you to the harbour where you can have a lovely swim in the sea with fish swimming around you. Great views of the sunset from the harbours bars. You can’t really get buses from here, but you can do excursions and there’s a happy train (which was fun), or hire a car easily.

We had a fantastic time here. The rooms and pool area are immaculate. The Team work incredibly hard here and could not have been more helpful. Our room was cleaned every day and sheets and towels changed regularly. The food served is of a good standard and they do cracking cocktails. Could not have asked for more. Thank you to Manos and the crew for helping us have a brilliant holiday.

Had another wonderful stay at the marigianna. Manos and Billy make every effort to make your stay memorable. Thanks to sky and Claire for looking after us. Thank you also to the cleaning staff, the place is immaculate. Look forward to seeing you again in August when we return with the family xxx

Currently staying at the Marigianna Appartments and you will not be disappointed, lovely location, beautifully clean accommodation and a nice mix of clientele. Manors and family are hard working and attentive, generous pool and area to keep all entertained. A fantastic choice.
