Elotis Suites

We had a wonderful stay, I’ll be honest my first impressions were not great, close to the road and the room was so hot. But once the air-con was working and we had unpacked and gone to explore the beach I had changed my mind! The beds were so comfortable, the shower was also hot and a good pressure, the kitchen area was well equipped, the balcony was lovely as the air-con provided the respite from the heat needed. Breakfast was basic but fresh and more than enough, although there was no sugar for coffee available (minor detail and I survived). The beach is just a 2 min walk away. There is a supermarket just over the road. Plenty of eating places left or right as you leave the hotel. The swimming pool area is small but we always found a sun-bed, the swimming pool was just perfect and we used it everyday. Happy hour was also very good and the cocktails were yummy, the gentleman barman defiantly made the best but they were all good! Only negative was our room wasn’t serviced in two days but it did not affect our holiday and we would definitely return.

The hotel was spotlessly clean and in the perfect location for our holiday. The beach is just a few minutes walk away, and with the bus stop being a 5 minute walk from the hotel, travelling to Chania was quick (about 20 mins), easy, and cheap (€2 each)! The hotel has a bus timetable in the reception. The area where the hotel is located has plenty of great restaurants and bars, along with many supermarkets. For restaurant recommendations, I would definitely suggest visiting Olivia’s, Isola seaside restaurant, and Terpsi (next door to the hotel). All of the staff at the hotel were friendly and always happy to help. The breakfast was great, they continued to restock items until the last few minutes which was lovely. The pool is a good size and has plenty of sun beds available; it was never completely busy when we visited. We were also able to store our luggage in the reception, for free, after we checked out which was incredibly helpful.

Just got back from the elotis after spending a fortnight there. A lovely hotel to be at if you want to be in again marina. Hotel room was cleaned every day with clean towels. The bar staff are two brothers who run the place. Adonis and Joseph. Even though it is at the hotel grounds it is separated from the hotel. One o'clock they said the bar closes but many times we never left untill well after 2. Sometimes later. Now, when you are again marina there are no bars on the strip. Yes, you can get a drink but mostly at the restaurants where you have a meal. The elotis is the only place where there is a bar on the front. On the beach which is only across the road there you will find the bars, mostly the ones that backs on to hotels. No walk ways to each one but really walking on the sand if you stay on the beach side. So if you're looking to jump from bar to bar on the strip, forget it ! 30 mins up the road if you are walking you will find a string of bars or 5-10 mins bus ride, only 2 euros. The area is called plantanis. Up there is more lively than agia marina. So if you want a bit of music then head up there. The whole area is with people from Scandinavia with. 95%. And the rest with Brits, German, Dutch. No problem. But be warned if you are looking for that British theme you won't find it at agia marina. I was told that the only airport open to people from Scandinavia was chania airport and not herikion that's why there are so many there. Where as Brits normally fly in the other airport. Anyway a great place to be in. I did warm to it at the end and think I would go the hotel again.
