Atlantica Ocean Beach Resort ★★★★

"This is not a 5 star hotel and does not even compete with 4 star Greek ones we have visited. We are 2 families of 8 with kids 8, 15, 18 & 20. We booked 3 rooms and this review is from all of us who thought the same. We know it’s school hols but have never seen a resort this heaving and crowded and we’ve always travelled in school holidays. This is a young family hotel. Would not say suitable for couples. Pros - [ ] Nice large pool - [ ] Great kids pools - [ ] Good water slides - [ ] Aesthetically pleasing looking hotel - [ ] Drinks good - [ ] Great snack bar and ice cream bar - [ ] Can help yourself to drinks at pool bar - [ ] Good aircon in rooms - [ ] Comfy bed - [ ] White party DJ was good but randomly party only lasted an hour - [ ] Great fans at outside eating area Cons - [ ] Beach is stone and not pretty at all - [ ] Lounger situation on the beach not nice and cramped area (they could make it so much nicer) - [ ] Music blaring all day both sides of the pool and both different songs (one coming from bar and one from animation team) - [ ] Do not come here if you want any peace - [ ] Pool towels can only be changed every 3 days which is not good enough for 5 star hotel. Went to change them end of day 3 to be rudely shouted at that we cannot change them as it’s 3 day rule and we’ve only been here a day which was wrong! Eventually was allowed but such rude staff and stupid rule! - [ ] Rooms small - [ ] Hardly any storage, no chest of drawers or units just a wardrobe with not much room - [ ] Bathrooms very cramped and sweaty - [ ] Mirrors steam so you can’t see a thing after shower - [ ] Shower floods bathroom floor (Leak came from under the tray when you turn the shower off, Same in all 3 rooms) - [ ] If tall sitting on toilet is hard as your legs hit sink - [ ] Dirty marks on shower trays - [ ] Towels sometimes not changed even if left wet on floor and sometimes dirty towels left in our shower tray after room cleaned - [ ] Bed sheets and covers not changed once in 7 days - disgusting! - [ ] Mini bar - given a couple of bottles of water on first day, sandwiches as arrived late and 4 cans - never re stocked and leftover sandwiches/plates never taken away for whole 7 days. We asked for more water and about mini bar to be told it’s a mini fridge not a mini bar and no we can’t have any more not even water. To fill bottle up at water stations at dinner but the staff told us we were not allowed too and the water tasted awful! - [ ] Hardly any staff - [ ] Staff barely look at you and smile - [ ] First Greek hotel to not show you to a table at dinner or ever give you coffee at your table at breakfast - [ ] Buffet food not the best and repetitive - cold bolognese, food ran out quick and not replenished quickly none of us enjoyed it. Curry night the food was full of salt! - [ ] Tables/plates not cleared quickly at any meals due to lack of staff - [ ] Dirty floors in and outside at buffet not cleaned - [ ] Never seen a cleaner anywhere in grounds the"

Secret Garden Hotel ★★★

"A delightful place situated at the quiter end of town. Ideal for visiting this area of the island but also very comfortable for relaxing in. Family run with friendly customer service, together with very good attention to detail. The menu for 2023 was not extensive (plans for expansion in 2024) but all options were very well cooked and nicely presented. The garden/pool area is very pretty and the sun beds/pool are comfortable. The bar and restaurant are al fresco but with enough cover to keep the high season sun off. The management team take much pride in their business and are attentive to their customers needs. We visited over a 3 week period and every day was a pleasure. Car parking is available but the bus stop to/from Chania is just a few metres from the entrance."

Maleme Mare ★★★★

"Wonderful experience at Maleme Mare!! I had a great time at Maleme Mare. The location is beautiful, right next to the sea, with a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. What I appreciated the most was the friendly and helpful staff – they always made me feel welcome. I highly recommend Maleme Mare to anyone visiting Crete. Definitely a place I would come back to! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Ledra Maleme Hotel ★★★

"What a fabulous surprise!! This place is a hidden gem. Such a lovely tranquil atmosphere and great family vibe. The main man Costas was an outstanding host. So friendly, fun and helpful, at the same time as being very professional. Costas and his lovely staff were all keen to help in any way and the food/service was amazing. We were only 2 days into our holiday when we booked to come back in September. This is a first for us as we never go to the same place twice. The hotel is very intimate, very clean and in a lovely location ideal for couples and families alike. Thank you to all and see you soon"
