We had a wonderful week staying at this lovely small hotel in Crete. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome by the amazing staff. A special thank you to Elena, Stavros and Sache, who were all incredibly friendly, attentive and always happy to help.
The hotel is in a fantastic location, with a beautiful pebble beach just across the road. On the calmer days, the sea was easy to get into. Wearing a pair of Crocs made it simple to walk over the pebbles and reach the sandy part of the seabed, where swimming was lovely.
One of our favourite things about the hotel was the incredibly comfortable sunbeds, making it easy to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The whole atmosphere was warm and friendly, and it really felt like a home away from home.
The food was excellent throughout our stay, with plenty of variety at breakfast, lunch and dinner, so there was always something to suit everyone’s tastes. The hotel also provided entertainment on three evenings each week, which was a lovely way to spend the evenings without feeling overwhelming.
One evening, we caught the bus into Chania, which was so easy as the bus stop is directly outside the hotel. The last return bus was at 11:45pm, giving us plenty of time to explore. Chania’s Old Town is absolutely beautiful, with its picturesque harbour, charming streets and lots of lovely tourist shops to wander around.
Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, friendly stay in Crete. We would happily return!

We had a very pleasant stay at Maleme Mare Hotel. The property is very clean and recently renovated, which makes the overall atmosphere fresh and comfortable.
It is more of a quiet, adults-oriented hotel, with very few children, making it ideal for a calm and relaxing holiday.
The swimming pools are not heated, but this was not an issue for us. During the day, until around 6 p.m., the water temperature was very comfortable for swimming. The pools also have different depths, and there are inflatable rings available for guests, which is a nice touch.
The food was varied and well-prepared, with different options every day. Additionally, snacks such as pizza and sandwiches are available throughout the day, so it is easy to stay satisfied at any time.
A special mention goes to Elena, a staff member at the hotel, who was exceptionally kind and helpful. She truly listened to guests’ needs and made an effort to ensure everyone felt cared for. Her attitude made a noticeable positive difference in the stay.

Suvh a lovely family friendly hotel with the most amazing staff. Stone beach across the road with a few restaurants and shops close by. Everything you might need. Bus easy to take to chania one way or kolymbari the other. Very relaxing holiday.

Here we go an update on the previous review.
This has to be one of the best hotels in Crete!!
The staff are as welcoming as always and work very hard to keep everyone happy, which is a task by itself considering the high heat temperature they get.
The pool is absolutely amazing.
No words can describe how much we loved it.
So again to all the Maleme staff we will see you next year and thanks again.
