Guest Reviews
- Audrey (9/5): Excellent séjour : personnel adorable, confort et situation au top ! - Accueil de qualité, grande gentillesse du personnel. Très beau buffet de petit déjeuner. Situation géographique parfaite pour profiter du front de mer et de la ville.
- Adrian (10/5): Great value and delicious food - I arrived late and they never kindly let me get my dinner (half board) before checking me in. Breakfasts and dinners were fabulous. Close to bus stop. Nice comfortable room. Loved it. Nothing
- EMMANOUIL (10/5): Άνεση, καθαριότητα, ευγένεια, γνήσιες παραδοσιακές κρητικές γεύσεις. - Η τοποθεσία είναι ιδανική, διότι βρίσκεται στον κεντρικό δρόμο, οπότε είναι πολύ εύκολη και γρήγορη η πρόσβαση στα καταστήματα, στα εστιατόρια, στα κέντρα διασκέδασης και στη θάλασσα. Το δωμάτιο ήταν άνετο, πεντακάθαρο και με όλες τις ανέσεις. Το πρωινό και το δείπνο είχε πολύ μεγάλη ποικιλία για όλα τα γούστα, άριστη ποιότητα και αναδείκνυε τις γνήσιες παραδοσιακές κρητικές γεύσεις. Πολλά συγχαρητήρια στους μάγειρες! Επίσης όλα ανεξαιρέτως τα μέλη του προσωπικού διακρίνονται για την ευγένειά τους. Δεν υπάρχει κάτι να αναφερθεί.
- Gábor (7/5): - - A szállás elhelyezkedése ideális: a strandhoz közel, a nyüzsgő belváros határán, de a zajos bulinegyedtől mégis távolabb fekszik.
- A szoba megfelelő méretű, az ágy kényelmes. Az erkély is feldobta a hangulatát.
- A medence is kellemes, mindig volt szabad napágy.
- A büféreggeli nem túlságosan változatos, de a felkínált választék finom. A pincérek kedvesek. - A kávé ihatatlan volt. (Egy közeli kávézóban azonban nagyon finom, igazi kávét lehet kapni.)
- A vacsorák minősége összességében elég vegyes: a zöldséges ételek finomak, azonban a főételek kb. fele nem volt fogyasztható (rágós, csontos, zsíros húsok, elsózott köretek, stb.). A desszertek közül is csak pár volt ehető. Ezek alapján a félpanzió ár-érték arányban nem éri meg.
- A WiFi silány minőségű, akadozik.
- A takarítás felületes: az ágyra ugyan felkerült a törölközőből hajtogatott szív, de rendszeresen elmaradt a fürdő takarítása, illetve többször nem kaptunk új tusfürdőt, kilépőt, törölközőt - ezeket a recepción kellett utólag kérni.
- Johann (8/5): -
- Geza (8/5): -
- Péter (8/5): Kellemes, barátságos légkör. - Finom ételeket készítettek reggelire és vacsorára egyaránt. Túl hangosak a szobák, minden zaj behallatszott a folyosóról, illetve a szomszédos szobából, mert vékonyak a falak. Aki 10 órakor ment le a medencéhez, annak nem volt helye, nem tudta letenni a törölközőjét, mert egyesek törölközőikkel foglalták a helyeket, pedig csak délben vagy délután jöttek a medencéhez (a medence is üres volt, abban sem volt senki).
- Leandro (9/5): - Wi-Fi era fraco. Deveria ter melhores serviços de internet
- Diana Siria (7/5): -
- Yevgen (9/5): - Відпочивали на початку серпня 2025 року. Розташування готелю просто супер. Дуже смачні сніданки і вечері. Ввічливий і привітний персонал. Рекомендую для бронювання.
- Gianluca (9/5): - Posizione eccellente, vicino al mare ed al centro. Personale molto gentile ed accogliente. Struttura moderna e curata nei particolari e sempre molto pulita. Molto carina la terrazza dove si fa la colazione e la cena.

- davidsT2941RI (8/5): Great location and good value for money - Very handy for the beach, shops and bars. Our room was quiet with a small balcony overlooking the pool. The shower was small but manageable . Staff on the most part were very welcoming and helpful. The bar was open all hours and pleasant after an evening out. Good value for money. The only downside for us was the food, which most seemed to enjoy but we ate out most days. I would however use this hotel again.
- Marina (8/5): - Good food Very tiny territory, you look in the neighbours window
- Bruno Louis (8/5): Séjour très agréable - Personnel à l’écoute.
Situation géographique.
Propreté
Restaurant RAS
- Marcela (10/5): - Vše bylo v naprostém pořádku. pokoj byl moc pěkný, čistý, voňavý. Jídlo bylo výborné. Lokalita úžasná, kousek od pláže.
Personál byl velice milý. Nic mě nenapadá.
- Céline (8/5): - Très bon accueil et emplacement
Chambre confortable
Repas variés Mites dans la chambre
Les chambres ne sont pas faites le dimanche
Le personnel en charge du bar et du restaurant est un peu trop distrait par le portable (mais malheureusement, c'est devenu courant)
- Felix (10/5): -
- joannehB5619WP (6/5): More 3 star grading than 4 star - Hotel Very close to the beach but there isn't much sand this side of hersonissos.
As it's near the end of season many shops/restaurants are closing so it's a more quieter environment and not too rowdy. The atmosphere is calm and quiet.
The rooms are very small and not enough storage space, although it does have kettle and fridge (to keep their four star rate) Our clothes are piled on top of each other due to suitcases taking up the space.
Very small pool but enough beds for this time of the season.
This hotel is definitely not four star rating ( probably more like a 3 star) and doesn't look anything like the photos on the website. The rooms look bigger on the photos.
The food is minimal and cold, ( mainly because the plates are cold too) by the time you sit down. Staff are pleasant but
We probably wouldn't visit again.
- Del Sorbo (7/5): -
- Gabriela (8/5): Plăcut - A fost curat , mobilier nou, aproape de plajă Au fost cam mici camerele, piscina mică, plaja îngustă, nu avea plajă privată, trebuiau închiriate șezlonguri pt cei ce vroiau , mâncarea putea fi mai variata
- Ilona (9/5): Cochet - Este un hotel aproape de mare micuț și cochet !
Am avut mai multe experiențe care au fost interesante.
Prima noapte ne-a cazat în alt hotel într-adevăr aproape dar a fost neplăcut am avut o cameră care a avut vedere la mare .😂 și a compensat .
Am avut un mic accident cu un cui în scaun la masa și fără obiecții mi s-a decontat pantalonii rupți !
Masă de dimineață un pic sărac dar bun !
Cină delicioasă !
Bucătarul morocănos !
Doamna de recepție din rep Moldova o drăguță și foarte amabilă!
Am avut un sejur plăcut cu familia și prietenii! Nu pot să zic nimic rău doar că nu este pentru pretențioși cu fițe !

- seano949 (10/5): Would recommend this hotel to everyone. Staff are brilliant - Lovely hotel staff were brilliant we have three of us that or disabled the three young lads were lovely they looked after us for the 10 days we were there food was OK pool was a bit small but overall it was nice would recommend it the young lady on reception was very good the moment we got there to the moment we left
- G7975RJpatriciaf (6/5): Not bad - The hotel is great so are the staff the food is awful it was cold every time and there is not enough sunbeds no hand rails down to the pool and to get to the beach are about 20 steps which is not disabled friendly
- Dusa Nicoleta (6/5): - Personal plăcut, locație curata Prăjeli, totul este prăjit, în 6 zile nu am avut posibilitatea sa mănânc un peste ...
- Yuliia Yastrebova (10/5): - At check-in, I got a free upgrade to a room with a sea view. The location is excellent, and the breakfasts and dinners were tasty, but not very diverse. The room was cleaned every day. Wi-Fi worked well. There is a small swimming pool. You can also leave your luggage if your flight is late. The only disadvantage is that the hotel doesn’t have its own beach. There is one nearby, but it is dirty and costs extra.
- ericpU4912MV (10/5): Great start to a holiday in Greece - Good location near the beach and restaurants.
Atmosphere very friendly
Staff in the dining room very helpful with my gluten free allergy
Room adequate despite location quiet in the evening.
- louis (8/5): Bon séjour dans l ensemble - L emplacement proche de la mer et la qualité de la restauration . La femme de ménage très sympa. La difficulté de stationner car l hôtel n à pas de garage .
Des odeurs de refoulement dans la chambre régulières hélas
Du bruit dans la rue du fait de la proximité de la grande avenue et des hôtels voisins
- Aldito (10/5): El mejor lugar para relajarte - Our stay at Mari Kristin Beach Hotel was truly delightful. The location is perfect, just a few meters from the sea, making it easy to enjoy both the beach and the lively atmosphere of Hersonissos. The hotel itself is spotless, with excellent standards of cleanliness maintained throughout the property. The facilities are modern, well-kept, and provide a sense of comfort and relaxation. We especially appreciated the food – both breakfast and dinner offered a very good variety, with fresh, tasty dishes that catered to different preferences.
The highlight of our stay, however, was the staff. A special mention goes to Inna at reception, who welcomed us warmly and was always ready to assist with a smile. Giorgos in the restaurant made every meal a pleasure with his friendly and attentive service. Eva in charge of the rooms ensured everything was perfectly clean and organized. Highly recommended!
- ovidiu (9/5): -
- Aldo (9/5): El mejor lugar para relajarte - Nuestra estancia en el Hotel Mari Kristin Beach fue realmente encantadora. La ubicación es inmejorable, a solo unos metros del mar, lo que permite disfrutar fácilmente tanto de la playa como del animado ambiente de Hersonissos. El hotel está impecable, con una limpieza excelente en todas sus áreas. Las instalaciones son modernas, muy cuidadas y transmiten comodidad y relajación. También destacamos la comida: tanto el desayuno como la cena ofrecieron una muy buena variedad, con platos frescos y sabrosos que se adaptaban a distintos gustos.
Lo que más nos marcó, sin embargo, fue el personal. Queremos dar un reconocimiento especial a Inna en recepción, siempre amable y dispuesta a ayudar con una sonrisa. Giorgos en el restaurante hizo que cada comida fuese un placer gracias a su servicio cordial y atento. Eva, encargada de las habitaciones, mantuvo todo perfectamente limpio y organizado. ¡Muy recomendable!
- Sunna (5/5): - Menchen sind alle freundlich
- Berty (10/5): -
- Justyna (10/5): -
- Stefan (10/5): - Propre, beau, personnel gentil Le bruit autour
- Dounia (9/5): Si vous voulez passer de bonnes vacances, choisissez le Mari Kristin ! - Mon séjour était top ! Je suis tombée amoureuse de la Crête. L’hôtel était super ! Petit déjeuner et buffet du soir très bien avec quelques spécialités locales.
L’accueil est à la hauteur ! Tant à la réception, que les serveurs ou les personnes en charge du ménage.
Mention spéciale à cette magnifique brune de la réception présente le soir ! Son sourire n’a d’égal que sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme.
Les serveurs ? Avenants, drôles et serviables ! Ils savent créer un lien avec chaque client. On a adoré !
Les petites attentions du personnel de ménage et le respect de l’écologie.
Tout pour vous faire sentir comme une reine.
La literie est super confortable, l’emplacement est parfait. Pas besoin de voiture pour flâner dans la ville sur la corniche.
Choisir le Mari Kristin c’est ne pas se tromper !
Merci à tout le staff d’avoir transformé ce séjour en une super expérience ! Tout était top !
- Johnston (8/5): -
- Victoria (10/5): - Very good staff, chefs, waiters, receptionist man was sooooo kind and lovely mannered gentleman. Room comfortable, beach near by, food fresh, tasty and lots of different dishes for all sorts of preferences. Thank you all. Nothing
- Dominique (6/5): Hôtel juste 3* - Hôtel bien placé front de mer Pas de parking/ piscine souvent à l’ombre/ manqué de services (aide aux bagages par ex)
- djida (7/5): -
- Danielle (9/5): - Our room was upgraded for our honeymoon which was amazing. The room was gorgeous.

- DaveP2917 (10/5): loved it - After getting there late, we were greeted with the most warm welcome from Mike( who is definitely a credit to the Hotel) right from start of holiday to end. could not find any fault with hotel at all. loved our room. loved the food, the location of the hotel was perfect. such a relaxed pool space never had problem getting a sunbed. overall loved our stay in Mari Kristen and would most definitley return , thank you Dave and Sandra
- Charles (7/5): -
- Giulia (9/5): - I consigli e la cordialità del signore alla sera per cosa visitare, sempre molto disponibili alla reception
Orari comodi per i pasti e posizione centrale
- Sifa (10/5): Top, on recommance le ms yeux fermés - L’emplacement de l’hôtel était très bien. Nous étions en plein centre ville ce qui a rendu le séjour encore plus agréable. La chambre était très belle, assez spacieuse et très propre. Les personnels de l’hôtel sont juste incroyables. Ils étaient au petit soin tout au long de notre séjour. Les femmes de ménage aussi étaient très gentilles et les chambres étaient nettoyées et les draps changés tous les jours selon votre convenance. Le petit dej n’était pas très fameux, ce qui est assez dommage. Le jus d’orange industriel dès le matin, j’ai eu un peu de mal. Cependant, le buffet le soir était assez convenable et varié.
- Alexandra (9/5): -
- Luca (8/5): - Struttura molto pulita, e con un tocco elegante.
Stanza non grande ma dotata di tutto il necessario.
Nelle vicinanze comoda fermata del bus sia per raggiungere spiaggie sia per aereoporto.
A due passi dal centro di hersonissos con tutti i locali e ristoranti, la maggior parte affacciati sul mare.
Il mare in alcuni giorni era più bello mentre in altri non ne valeva la pena, sicuramente non è un mare da farci la vacanza ma solo da passarci una giornata, magari appena arrivati.
Per quanto riguarda il cibo di buona qualità con tante ricette anche del posto mentre la colazione rivolta più al turista inglese o tedesco, vista la presenza di tanto salato e poco dolce ma comunque buono.
Il bere è a parte, quindi tutto quello che viene preso può essere pagato subito o al checkout.
- Jázmin (10/5): Bármikor visszatérnék! - Ilyen kedves személyzettel még sosem találkoztam! A recepciósok mindenben kérdés nélkül azonnal a segítségünkre fordultak, a pincérek és a bartender nagyon barátságosak és nyitottak voltak, illetve nagyon segítőkészek bármiféle ajánlással kapcsolatban. A takarítónők is tökéletesen végezték a munkájukat, gyönyörű szép rend és tisztaság várt minket minden nap amikor visszaértünk a szállásunkra. Illetve a hotel is nagyon jó helyen helyezkedik el. És, hogy ki ne hagyjam, az ételek isteni finomak voltak, minden este legalább 5-6 féle ételt ettünk, olyan választék volt és egyszer se kóstoltunk rosszat! Tökéletesen éreztük magunkat ezalatt a hét alatt és nagyon szépen köszönünk mindent!
- Gabriel (10/5): - The quality of the services and breakfast and dinner. Excellent location. Very professional and friendly staff. Nothing to complain.
- borji (8/5): - Gut
- FAUSTO (9/5): Creta estate 2025 - Posizione ottima
Le nostre camere lato strada confortevoli
e sufficientemente grandi
Cucina ottima e sempre varia
Personale molto gentile e disponibile per ogni necessità Spiaggia davanti all'hotel molto piccola e poco curata
- Adriana (7/5): -
- Elisa (2/5): - Posizione Pulizia-cibo
- Christel (7/5): - La literie était confortable, les chambres insonorisées, donc on n'entend pas le bruit de l 'extérieur.
Le personnel est serviable, les petits déjeuners superbes.
Bien placé car à proximité des commerces, tavernes et arrêts de bus Nous n'avons pas eu d' eau chaude 2 soirs d affilé. La piscine est petite et le nombre de transats insuffisant, d'autant que la réservation des transats reste malheureusement toujours à la mode 😕. La plage la plus proche est également très très petite et décevante.
Les plats du soir étaient assez répétitifs.
En outre, il faut savoir que ce lieu est très prisé par les jeunes pour faire la fête, donc il faut s'attendre à subir des réveils forcés au milieu de la nuit ou au petit matin par des vacanciers indélicats qui rentrent de soirée.
Et je ne mentionne même pas les conversations ou visionnage de vidéos sur haut parleur, qu'il faut supporter à la piscine et au restaurant .
En outre, la plupart des boutiques autour qui se touchent littéralement ne proposent que du made in China.
Conclusion ; si vous souhaitez vous ressourcer au calme dans un lieu authentique, je déconseille fortement cette localisation.
Il est fort dommage également de ne rien trouver dans les chambres qui résume le fonctionnement du restaurant, de la piscine, les bonnes pratiques attendues au sein de l établissement, etc. Certes c'est un "Adults only", mais les incivilités devenant malheureusement monnaie courante partout, on ne peut plus compter sur le savoir vivre des voyageurs qui se croient tout permis, d'autant plus lorsqu' ils sont à l étranger.
- gianni (7/5): Buona soluzione per una vacanza a Creta. - Vicino alla spiaggia, ai servizi ed in particolare ai trasporti pubblici. Cucina buona con specialità del luogo. Nulla da segnalare
- Filip (6/5): Helt ok, kunde varit så mycket bättre. - Läget - låg precis vid havet. Helt ok rum, städning var ibland. Personalen var ganska loj. Ingen personal vid poolen. Gäster la ut handdukar på solsängar och solstolar(var väldigt få av vardera) utan att dyka upp på hela dagen så det var svårt att finna plats under poolområdet under veckan. Frukosten var undermålig och ej utmärkt som det stod innan. Valde ej att äta på kvällen då frukosten var så pass illa.
- Grace (10/5): We definitely want return to Crete and stay at this hotel. - All was amazing. Staff was very friendly, excellent location, breakfast and dinner very good. We definitely recommend! All was excellent.
- Nevena (10/5): -
- Shayegh Boroujeni (8/5): -
- FABIO (7/5): Good Option for a quick stay , no half board. - Lovely place well located
Friendly and polite reception staff
Comfortable, quiet and spacious room
Breakfast Jams selection excellent
Bar Staff very professional Restaurant kitchen staff was not very friendly, the elder man refilling the buffet pushed me twice coming out from the kitchen and didn’t even apologized to me. The other elder man standing behind the hobs barely answering to any questions.
Considering the hotel is a 4 STARS, the half board package was average, dinner with very basic menu courses and no seafoods whatsoever. Only poached eggs as egg option for breakfast is not acceptable.
The pool lounges were very crowded with rude people occupying them with clothes and going out for lunch.
- Paul (9/5): -
- clairematheson (10/5): Relaxing, friendly hotel in a perfect beachside location - Just returned today from a very relaxing break at the Marie Kristin Beach Hotel. It was perfect for the three of us — myself, my husband, and our 15-year-old daughter. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or friendly. in fact, every Greek person we made was incredibly friendly.
We arrived late at night (around midnight) and, even though we’d missed dinner, they kindly prepared a fresh salad plate for us — such a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the whole stay.
The hotel is in a fantastic location, just steps from the beach. The pool is small but ideal for chilling out. No need to set an alarm to reserve sunbeds! Everyone just came and went as they pleased.
There are several beaches within walking distance. You do need to pay for sunbeds and umbrellas at those, but the prices were very reasonable.
We stayed on a half-board basis. The food at the hotel was fine - buffet style. The hot partner with a restaurant just down the road which was absolutely amazing — definitely worth trying. And you also get a restaurant discount for staying at the hotel
The only small downside is that the rooms are quite compact. It was manageable for three of us, but a bit tight — I’d recommend no more than two people per room for maximum comfort. For all the things in your room, though. We were out and about every day either at the beach on a sailing trip, visiting Heraklion town or shopping.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would absolutely recommend this hotel for a chilled, friendly, beachside holiday.
- Gebrehanes (9/5): Yirgalem
Swizerland - Comfortable lit, Petit dej varié,,repas du soir simple et efficace â prix..pres de la plage et des restaurants. Rien
- gabriel (8/5): The hotel's restaurant on the beach is amazing. - The staff was great and contributed a lot to the feeling Frequent checks of the facilities
- Camilla (10/5): -
- Troels (5/5): -
- Antonio (9/5): - A due passi dal mare e dalla movida di Hersonissos
- Domenico (10/5): Mary Kristin for ever - Tutto perfetto, professionalità, simpatia, organizzazione, semplicità, insomma ci hanno coccolati e fatti sentire come a casa. Un grazie di vero vero cuore per averci reso ancora di più una vacanza super super fantastica. A chi dovesse dirmi dove potrei trascorrere le vacanze a Creta? Non avrei dubbi nel consigliare questi albergo e sicuramente se dovessi ritornare a creta non avrei dubbi di prenotare e alloggiare presso questo albergo.....grazie grazie mille per tutto. Mimmo e Angelo, Italia, Milano Se proprio devo trovare un difetto è la non possibilità di avere un parcheggio riservato ma nei dintorni lo si trova
- Sergey (10/5): Отличный отель, рекомендуем! - Замечательный отель, дружелюбный и внимательный персонал, вкусные завтрак и ужин!
Отдельная благодарность девушкам на reception: Инна и Катерина всегда готовы помочь, посоветовать, и, что немаловажно для нас, на русском языке.
Номер убирали очень хорошо, вовремя и аккуратно, полотенца меняли ежедневно. Большое спасибо уборщице Ema.
Завтрак и ужин весьма разнообразны, а для обеда или напитка у бассейна, рядом ресторан Petalida с отличной кухней и скидкой 10% для гостей отеля. Рядом также много магазинов и других таверн, на любой вкус и кошелёк.
Многие критиковали бассейн, но он вполне комфортен и тщательно убирается.
В общем, по соотношению "цена/качество" 10 баллов из 10! Это, ни в коем случае, не минус отеля, а информация для будущих гостей. Рядом, на берегу, много вечерних дискотек и пожилым людям, тем, кто как мы, рано ложатся спать, трудно уснуть под громкую музыку. Молодёжь, я думаю, будет в восторге.
- Arnaud (9/5): - The hotel staff was perfect. Very kind and helpful. The room was quiet and comfortable and the restaurant was with quality food and a good area. Everything was perfect !

- Tamara (10/5): - Hotel je na samo 2 minute hoda od plaže, lokacija je odlična. Osoblje preljubazno i prijateljski nastrojeno. Doručak i večera svaki dan drugačiji i raznovrsni, za večeru smo probali mnoge grčke specijalitete. Sve preporuke za ovaj divni hotel🌸
- Deborah (9/5): Ein kleines, familiäres Hotel mit sehr freundlichen Personal. - Sehr freundliches Personal, gutes Essen, großzügiges Zimmer. Defekte Klimaanlage, Reinigung hätte gründlicher sein können, keine Beschilderung (Orientierung für Pool/Strand)
- Anoosha (9/5): - Das Hotel bietet eine insgesamt solide und ausreichende Ausstattung – alles ist da, was man braucht, ohne besonderen Luxus, aber völlig in Ordnung. Was dieses Hotel jedoch wirklich besonders macht, ist das unglaublich liebevolle und aufmerksame Personal. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und bestens umsorgt.
Ein weiteres Highlight ist das Essen: frisch, vielfältig und qualitativ wirklich herausragend! Die Auswahl ist groß, es ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei, und man merkt einfach, dass hier mit viel Liebe gekocht wird.
Ohne diese beiden Punkte – das engagierte Personal und das fantastische Essen – wäre das Hotel eher durchschnittlich. Aber genau diese beiden Aspekte machen den Aufenthalt zu etwas Besonderem und sorgen dafür, dass man gerne wiederkommt.
- Anda (10/5): - Exceptional hotel, exceptional staff..beautiful location. helpful, kind hotel staff...Great food
Thank you everyone, it was wonderful.. ❤️❤️ -
- Melanie (8/5): Sehr schön und erholsam, gute Lage, freundliches Personal - Zimmer mit Meerblick, grosse Zimmer Klimaanlage hat teilweise Wasser getropft
- Jennifer (7/5): - Das Hotel liegt super zentral sowohl zum Strand, als auch zum nächsten Supermarkt. Wir hatten Halbpension. Sowohl das Frühstück als auch das Abendessen waren leider nicht besonders gut, sodass wir außerhalb essen waren.
- 003Rosie (10/5): Relaxed environment. - Small hotel with a very relaxed environment, friendly staff and in a very good location close to everything, we managed to walk everywhere, the sea the harbour the aquarium nothing was further than a 25 minute walk. we really enjoyed our stay thanks again!
- raybans247 (8/5): Friendly hotel vibe great location - Really liked this hotel. The facilities were OK but the shower was very small and the door didn't close fully but enough not to complain about it as was only there 3 nights. What made this hotel was the staff were very good the night reception/bar tender Mike was great. I decided to go bed and breakfast, which had a good selection, as wanted to experience the restaurants in the area. Everything was stones throw. Alot of Spars convenience shops and restaurants were almost directly out of the hotel less than a couple minutes walk. Also gave a discount for staying at Mari Kristin. Beach was also 2 minutes walk from the hotel.
Only down side was the poolside was small and as such had annoying people putting towels out before even going for breakfast so only swam there once preferring the beach.
Nice stay due to location more so than anything else recommend for a short stay.
- Mária (9/5): Máskor is szívesen meglátogatjuk, jó szívvel ajánlom az ismerőseimnek. - Tágas, szép szoba, olyan mint a bemutató képeken. Kellemes vízű medence, pihenőágyak. Kedves személyzet, kiváló ételek, part közelsége. A központ, a bevásárló és sétáló utca pár lépésre. heti 2 alkalommal görög est a közeli éttermekben. A tengerparton a napágyak fizetős volt. A tenger erős hullámzása miatt viszonylag keveset fürödtünk itt.
- Volodymyr (10/5): Polecam! - Wszystko było dobrze Nic
- joshp780 (10/5): Clean hotel, really nice stay! - Really nice hotel situated only a 30 second walk from the beach, offers nice breakfast and dinner with a bar to purchase drinks. The hotel has a nice swimming pool. The location of the hotel is also about a 15 minute walk to the main strip with bars and restaurants, however there are other bars and restaurants close by. The hotel is very clean. The only two things which could be improved is the wifi which is very slow and drinks being included with dinner (we were half board).
- Anneke (9/5): - Er was eigenlijk niets wat tegen viel. Het buffet zou, ondanks dat het heerlijk en gevarieerd was, iets uitgebreider mogen zijn.
- Xiaoyuan (9/5): Awesome stay in Greece great food - Room is reasonably spatious A bit too many stairs and places not accessible for limited mobility people. I have friends with mobility issues and feel it’ll be hard if I happen to bring them
- Maryna (9/5): Чудовий вид з балкону - Чудовий номер і розташування, гарний вид з балкону, рум сервіс чудовий. Харчування досить непогане, зручно що багато вішаків для одягу у шафі (їх завжди не вистачає у відпустці))))Приємний досвід, чудова відпустка. В номері немає великого дзеркала)
- Matthew (8/5): - Great breakfast buffet. Central.
- Patricia (10/5): Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel - Tout Rien
- עדיה (10/5): -
- CHANTAL (9/5): - Personnel charmant propreté de l'hôtel
Cuisine variée et délicieuse Espace piscine assez petit
Difficulté pour se garer
- sylvie (9/5): Beau séjour en Crête - Très bon accueil. Gentillesse des hôtesses d'accueil et de l'ensemble du personnel
Hôtel bien situé a proximité des commerces (beaucoup de supérettes pour l'achat d'eau et autres), frigo dans la chambre. Plage également à côté 50 mètres et plein de restaurant (je vous conseille le PETALIDA, très bon et bien servi)
Petit déjeuner correct , beaucoup de choix .
Ville à 25 minutes en taxi d'HERAKLION ou bus ligne 202.
Plein de loueur de voitures aux alentours (l'hôtel a également sa propre agence) pour visiter le Crête (voie express mais plus sympathique par la vieille route). La piscine est très petite et manque de place autour. Pour la plage, parasol et fauteuil payant 6 euros par personne et 2 euros pour le parasol appartenant à l'hôtel. Billet valable pour la journée.
Si vous louez une voiture, parking très limité, difficile de se garer aux alentours (1er arrivée , 1er servi et tout dépend de la taille de votre voiture).
- STEFANO (8/5): - Lo staff è gentile e disponibile .
La colazione varia e abbondante come anche la cena tutto a buffet La pulizia un po' discreta
