Agia Marina
The main building is a built in a private extent above the sandy beach of Agia (Santa) Marina. It is a fish village hardly 8 kilometres away from the very beautiful city of Chania and 22 kilometres from the international airport Daskalogiannis in Chania. The hotel has an excellent view of the endless beach and the gorgeous Cretan sea and the unique verdurous landscape. It has a la carte restaurants in order to cover all expectations of our Guests, relaxation and non-stress areas such as heated swimming-pool, fitness center, sauna, steam bath and massage room. Our Guests can also enjoy a lovely cocktail or coffee in one of the Bars of our Hotel, gazing at the immense sea. These services are offered at the main building of the hotel. There is a shuttle bus (30 seats) to transfer our guests from the main building to its annex buildings and vice versa.

Hot and Cold
Well, quite a conflicting review. We arrived back yesterday, 27th August. Positives, the entertainment team, buggy drivers, Habibi😂 Great location, we were Annexe but a small walk to the beach, which we infinitely preferred to the pool. No issue with the pool, not the biggest, and generally towelled and claimed by 9AM, but nice and a good vibe with the eatery team and their plentiful experiences. It is a tough walk up to the top if you don’t take the buggy, but we did it pretty much every day, to try and make the effort. Our room was big, had a sea view and was spacious. The toilet leaked though and the drain as our holiday went on started to smell more and more, it was unpleasant. Our door was not the sturdiest, it has a gap at the side and housekeeping didn’t shut it properly so we left a little note as a reminder. Now to the food, started OK but got gradually worse, we are not fussy eaters, we will generally roll south punches but it gets pretty monotonous day after day, we had a gyro from the fast food half way down the path most dinners as it was so uninspiring and ate out at least 4 evenings where we couldn’t face another round of the same old. Tables were hard to find, turnover and cleaning of the said tables was haphazard. The cocktails in the AI menu got a bit samy, very sweet and a little under strength despite the staff putting plenty of spirits in. So all in all, a very mixed review, we didn’t hate it, but we didn’t love it either. 5 star it definitely isn’t, and the daily charge for everything from sun beds on the beach to the safe and deposit amounts for towels doesnt sit with the 5 star, hope this helps.

Cold food nothing is hot below Luke warm at best
Staff brilliant very friendly. Hotel very clean beach bar staff excellent. However food is always below Luke warm even when bought out from the kitchen. Meat balls were cold. We complained on day 2 however things did not change we are now on day 4 and are going out to eat at least once a day for hot food. We find this sad because it is a fabulous hotel but the food let's it down.
Great family holiday
I was a bit nervous before arriving here after seeing all of the bad reviews however we actually had a great time! The entertainment team were brilliant and the children and adults were constantly entertained from yoga to waterpolo! My son loved the daily dance on the bridge! Views were absolutely stunning from tha bar and also from my room on floor 5. Sunrise was amazing from the balcony. The hotel is set in different levels on a hill however we didn’t mind as we don’t have mobility issues, people who do would struggle. The beach pool and bar was lovely, the lady serving food there was fantastic and also did the best pizza and cups full of fresh fruit! The beach itself is also beautiful. Gyros from the pool bar were lovely, and so was the ice cream! Banana was my favourite! Food in the restaurant was a bit repetitive so we did eat out a couple of times but mainly filled up on the snack bars throughout the day. Would also like to mention the people who drive the golf cars to take u around the hotel, both so friendly, habibi!! All in all we had a great time and staff worked hard and all friendly. Defo not a 5 star so I believe the bad reviews are from people expecting 5 star standards.
This hotel is a cheat
This hotel is simply a cheat, both in terms of rating and all inclusive. The hotel is old, dated, the rooms are small with old and basic furniture, small TV and incredibly poor maintenance. We had broken glasses between balconies, chipped tiles and steps on staircases, dirty and small swimming pools. The first night we found brown marks on the bed linen and the reception gave us new sheet, asking us to change it. The place is generally dirty, including the rooms. The food is no more than a canteen, with limited choice and no allergy corner. If you have coeliac or any other intolerance, please refrain from coming here. Also, the restaurant is open at very limited hours, outside that time there is only basic pizza or gyros available. We booked a sea view room, which is in a separate building on the main road. For food we had to cross the main road and waiting for a club car to take us up to the reception. Overall, this is no more than a 3 star place. There are also added costs to use facilities. We had to pay € 3 per day to use the safe, € 15 per day to use a sunbed on the beach, € 10 deposit to have beach towels. The all inclusive stops at 11 pm, after then you have to pay for drinks or anything else. hence, it is not all inclusive. However, we hold Lastminute, Booking.com and any other holiday provider equally responsible, as there is no quality control. This place is sold as 5 star all inclusive, clearly not the case. We asked for a refund and they agreed the amount of € 2755.20. Interestingly, to book exactly the same room on Booking.com at the same period the cost would have been € 5179. Again, very poor customer care. Finally, the staff are insufficient in number, and despite they are kind and do their best, it is obvious that the majority are untrained. Please avoid the Italian restaurant in the complex, the quality of food and drinks is even lower than the main canteen, if possible!
