  : We enjoyed our stay at the Marika Hotel and especially loved the great location with a bus stop right across the street, many great restaurants and bars but also directly on the beach. The pool areas were very nice, but I was disappointed that they didn't serve any food or drinks. You had to go to the beach bar but were not allowed to bring anything to your sunbed. The room was very modern and spacious and the bed was comfortable. We used the little kitchenette for making coffee and an afternoon snack prep and the cleaning staff washed our dishes even if they normally don't do that. Unfortunately, there was one incident where we found broken glass on the balcony and I stepped into it. The staff at the reception made sure to get it cleaned up quickly and we were also compensated appropriately. The breakfast was good with some local options like feta cheese, olives, greek yogurt but it could have been even better with some fresh juices, pancakes and maybe some more fruit options (they only had oranges and kiwi) All in all, we had a great time and I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a relaxing week on Crete!
  : Room doors had a glass section that led through a lot of light so it was hard to sleep. We covered this with some bed sheets. The staff at the beach bar had a strange attitude and were not very welcoming. Maybe they were tired of guests at the end of the season.

  : Hotel was very comfortable and location was superb. Beach and city both right next to you! Easy access to all restaurants and shopping plus all tour operators and excursions. Our room was on top floor so it was quiet and ac was a must! First floor rooms did not seem to have much privacy although some had private jacuzzi. I would prefer upper floor rooms for more quiet stay!
  : Beds were separated and kept sliding apart in the night. Toilet had a glass wall which was fine for us but might be very uncomfortable for some. Also door did not close properly. If either went to toilet in the night and turned on the light in toilet, the whole room was light due to glass wall. Not very convenient!

  : We returned from staying in the Marika hotel last week. Firstly it lovely and clean. The staff are very polite and helpful. The rooms are modern and spacious. Its in an excellent location on the seafront & also surrounded by restaurants, shops, doctors, car hires, bus stops etc! We had bed and breakfast and the breakfast buffet had a good variety including cereals, breads, eggs, meat, fruits, spreads, cakes. Not as lavish as other hotel breakfasts but there was something for everyone and it was nice to have something to set us up for the day.
  : The rooms are clean and modern however we stayed in an apartment (room 80) & the glass door on the toilet was not full size so it didnt feel private and the sink was on the outside. Bit if a bizarre setup! However we had family stay in a sea view deluxe room and a hottub room, both of which had normal private bathrooms so must only be in the apartments.
