Maleme Mare

Beautiful place, helpful people, great hotel, delicious food, very good drinks. A great place to organize a trip with friends and Stavros will take care of all your needs. I will definitely come back to this place again! I recommend it to everyone!

We had a wonderful week at the end of October in this beautiful hotel. We were greeted off the bus by Stavros, who runs the hotel and is a great host, by the end of the holiday we felt we had gained a new friend. The rooms are lovely, very modern and clean with great views. We were at the back so looked over the gardens, pool and sea. The dining area we loved, as there was lots of outdoor seating but even inside it had lovely views out to sea. The food we enjoyed, particularly as there were Greek dishes, but also plenty of other variety at all meal times. However, within minutes there are some lovely beach side Tavernas and bars to enjoy if you want to go out. The pool areas were very relaxing with comfortable sunbeds and one had views out to sea. The bar also has wonderful views looking over the beach and out to sea and there is a roof top terrace with amazing views. Although Maleme is only a small place it is a great location to go exploring, a 5/10 minute walk and you can catch the bus into Chania which was stunning and well worth the visit. There is also a little train that runs past and does various trips. The most special thing about this hotel is all the people who work there, they were all amazing, friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. We have definitely fallen in love with this hotel and cannot wait to return! Thank you for a fabulous holiday.

We couldn't have been made more welcome than we were when we arrived at this lovely hotel, which is located opposite the beach. The receptionist, Eleanor, was dealing with another guest so the young man behind the bar invited us immediately to have a drink while we waited. The check in procedure was quick and painless and we were shown by Eleanor to our 2 rooms. We declined the offer of help with our luggage. Our rooms were located on the first floor and had a a side seaview with beautiful well kept gardens below the balcony. There is a sweet little play area for children and two immaculate swimming pools with very comfortable sunbeds. Because of the time of year we had no issues with getting a sunbed but there are plenty and our pool towels were changed whenever we needed. The rooms are well equipped including a coffee machine, kettle and fridge. Air conditioning was excellent. They were cleaned every day, beds made with sheets and towels changed often. Beds and pillows are very comfy. Food was very good, especially as they were less than a week away from closing for the season. Dining room staff were always polite and helpful. Simple snacks and hot drinks are available. Bar staff couldn't have been nicer and they are generous with their measures. This hotel is in a process of improvements and will make an already lovely hotel even better. All in all we have had a fab holiday and it's true you are treated like family. We hope to return.

The hotel was beautiful, clean, and well maintained, lots of facilities. Staff were friendly, happy and polite, nothing was too much trouble for them. Food was tasty, plenty available and no restrictions. Will definitely return for another holiday 😁

I was here on vacation. I had a wonderful vacation. It was very clean. Food was excellent. But what I will remember is the staff. Always friendly, always willing to help us to make the perfekt stay. Stavros, Sasha and Olga will always be remembered until next time we visit.

Turned up to this hotel on the 26th of September at around 9.30pm to which we were told when we got there that they didn't know what time we were arriving. Then we paid for an executive suite which we didn't get. Even though we had an amazing view the whole point of the executive suit was the fact I was going with a 17 year old and we wanted a separate space. So they had to sleep in the main room which meant the shower and toilet was in the same room and was very awkward when you needed some privacy. We were told that that was all that was available. One thing that was lovely about the holiday was the staff receptionist Ellana bar staff and the staff at dinner times very friendly and eager to help and helpful with where to go when wanting the venture out. The food was nice but could of been hotter as it was always warm. And some of the dishes were very salty and inedible but there was always a variety. As for the drinks I agree with one of the other comments on here that the drinks were very sweet and not much variety and if you wanted a cocktail they were overally strong and just not nice. So we found our selves going to the super market and buying our own drinks in. The pools were very nice and clean and the hotel was very clean also. The rooms were cleaned daily and done very well apart from one day but I think some one else cleaned it that day it wasn't the regular lady that did ours. Would I go back .... No would be the answer but that was mainly cos there wasn't much to do there unless you got on a bus and went to the next town and the food and drink not being the greatest but the major factor was not getting the room I paid for
