Santa Marina Beach Hotel, Agia Maria Crete - 4K Hotel Tour

In May 2024 we had the pleasure of visiting this hotel, staying for a week on an all inclusive basis. The hotel was lovely and the staff made us feel very welcome. The beach, hotel rooms and pool were all well maintained and the hotel itself was in a great location, with shops and restaurants close by as well as being within easy reach of Chania centre, provided by a €2 bus right next to the hotels entrance. The hotel staff were very knowledgeable and were happy to help with recommendations. My only advice would be that the food selection within the buffet was limited and repetitive, but there were plenty of cheap restaurants close by if you do grow tired of it. As we visited off peak season, only the main buffet restaurant was open on an evening so the queues did grow through the lobby at this time. Cocktail selection was good however!
Overall - 8/10
