Marina Sands

The location is very good. The breakfast is simple but nice. The room was good, I would've liked to have a litle more space but it worked. Good pool bar and the swimming pool is very nice. Sunbeds all around. The staff is wonderful. Would recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel set in beautiful surroundings, well Maintained gardens. I used the pool here everyday whilst on holiday, and it was a pleasure to swim and see the sea from the pool, lovely location. The real credit to this hotel, is a lady called Antonio who works in the pool bar everyday, she is absolutely amazing. I came here nearly everyday to use the pool, and have lunch and drinks with my husband, she was so nice and friendly and the lunches were always fantastic. So, please management pass on my gratitude to Antonio, she works hard and is so lovely, well done!

Marina Sands is a very cozy and pleasant 2 stars hotel but in my eyes a 3 stars hotel with lovely staff. The hotel is 60 meters from the beach and between the rooms and the beach are the pool with a restaurant that serves both cold and hot dishes as well as snacks and beer/drinks. The rooms are designed in an older standard, My bathroom had, for example, a bathtub and a shower curtain which you cannot normally count on in Crete. The furniture in the room is of an older type but functional. Modern television. In my hotel booking it was included AC and a safe. So when you book, check if AC is included or not, otherwise the cost will be added. The breakfast consists of a few types of bread. different marmalades. 2 different Mortladella sausages and cheese. Tomato and cucumber. boiled egg. Greek Yoghurt with honey or with preserved fruit. Melon. Coffee/Tea and 3 juices. The hotel area consists of 2-storey buildings with narrow corridors with well-kept beautiful vegetation.

This hotel has seen better days but it does still shine. I stayed for 10-days on a trip with my brother. The staff was fast when the A/C in my brother’s room was broken. It was fixed in 24 hours - they ended up replacing the old A/C with a brand new unit. You pay for use of A/C - 8€ per day. Coming from Iceland, we both felt that this was worth the fee. Yes, the hotel has run down pieces but the staff and location keeps it in the 3-range. It is really clean - with daily room service (clean towels and sheets daily). The beds were fine and I slept well each night. I did not notice any noise seeping through door or window, which meant I could catch a nap during the day, even if my room was just by the pool. I recommend room 55 or room 24 (my room or my brother’s room). Fair warnings : *breakfast on offer remains the same - if you want variety, the supermarket across the street has excellent range of food stuff and a bakery on site - including fresh orange juice. *the beach has low stone boulders which makes it tricky to enter the sea. Try to enter on the right hand side (when facing the ocean) and I recommend using water-socks or water shoes ( the sands gets really hot and it can be painful to walk on it barefoot). *the hotel pool is excellent and is at its deepest 2.05m and 0.60m at the shallowest. You are not permitted to reserve pool loungers around the pool area until 8am (the loungers are locked from around 8pm to 8am) but after 8am you are permitted to place your towels to reserve - but do not abuse this! If you are not going to start sunbathing early, be aware that holding onto loungers for 3-4 hours without using them is considered as being rude. There are plenty of loungers on the beach itself - they do cost but as 7€ for two loungers for the whole day - the price is fair. The pool restaurant is average but the staff is excellent and we often had lunch there. Please note - they only accept cash but if you wish, you can charge to your room and then pay with a credit card at reception. This is a hotel that still deserves its 3 stars - just because of their staff and location. I will stay here again.

Die Preis-Leistung ist perfekt! Strandlage: top Zimmer: in die Jahre gekommen, aber sehr sauber. Bequeme Betten, kleine Terrasse mit Meerblick, Frühstück: könnte etwas üppiger und abwechslungsreicher sein. Sonst aber sehr lecker. Einziges Mango: egal ob man an der Poolbar etwas konsumiert oder nicht, die Liegen und ein Schirm kosten Geld. Die Klimaanlage kostet und der Safe auch. Alles drei haben wir nicht genutzt. Die Gartenanlage sensationell. Das Personal ist superfreundlich, wir würden wieder kommen.

Η κοπέλα στο μπαρ, άξεστη, απροσάρμοστη, αγέλαστη και κυρίως ασεβής. Τραμπούκιζε τα παιδιά που έτρωγαν κάτι που αγόρασαν από το σούπερ μάρκετ. Επίσης μας έπαιρνε τις ξαπλώστρες, γιατί εμείς δεν πήραμε καφέ στις 11:30 από το μπαρ αλλά στις 09:00 από το φούρνο. Συνεχώς μας ρουφιάνευε στη διοίκηση αλλά και η διοίκηση έτσι απλά μας άδειαζε ως αναλώσιμους. Κοινώς δεν τους ένοιαξε καν αν μας δημιουργεί πρόβλημα η ακατάλληλη αυτή υπάλληλος. Η σκάλα στην πισίνα, από την κάτω μεριά του σκαλοπατιού κόβει σαν μαχαίρι, με αποτέλεσμα το παιδί μας να τραυματιστεί και να διακομιστεί στο νοσοκομείο των Χανίων. Το ξενοδοχείο δεν διαθέτει καν φαρμακείο έκτακτης ανάγκης. Τα καλώδια του πορτατίφ στο δωμάτιο 39 είναι απογυμνωμένα και άκρως επικίνδυνα. Τα καλώδια του φωτισμού πέριξ της πισίνας, είναι γυμνά και έξω από το χώμα παρόλο που τριγύρω είναι όλα μούσκεμα. Ο ΜΠΟΜΠΑΝ και η ΑΓΓΕΛΙΚΗ είναι εξαιρετικοί άνθρωποι που βοηθούν πάντα όσο μπορούν. Οι καθαρίστριες ευγενέστατες και διακριτικές. Οι ιδιοκτήτες απλά άφαντοι και αδιάφοροι. Είμαστε ακόμα εδώ και θα προσθέσω επιπλέον κριτική αναλόγως το τι άλλο θα μας κάνουν μέχρι να φύγουμε από εκδίκηση γιατί επιλέγουμε να τρώμε και εκτός ξενοδοχείου. Το μπαρ ότι χειρότερο. Βρώμικα τραπέζια, σπασμένα η ραγισμένα ποτήρια, αγενής η υποτιθέμενη υπάλληλος. Μακριά και πάλι μακριά. ΠΟΤΕ ΞΑΝΑ ΣΕ ΕΡΑΣΙΤΕΧΝΕΣ.
