산타 마리나 플라자

Very friendly hotel staff. We were welcomed on arrival with a drink and has a smooth easy checkin before being taken to our room. Room was very spacious with good air con and over looked the pool and sea. Rear of the room overlooked the main road which was sometimes noisy at night. We booked bed and breakfast only so ate in the hotel some days but also ate out. So much choice for breakfast. Try the light Greek yoghurt which was the best yoghurt I've ever eaten. There are plenty of restaurants outside the hotel within a very short walking distance. There's also 2 big supermarkets either side of the hotel. Bus stop to Chania is a very short walk. Busiest times are around 10.30 -11.30 when buses don't stop as they are full. Pay on the bus, cash or card. Despite being told no reserving sun beds, people put their towels on them around 08.00am and then disappeared for several hours. One party of 4 put their towels on the beds and then spent the entire day on the beach!!! Plenty of beds on the beach although some were used by non residents ie families with children on them. Sea was warm with clear water which was fabulous. Life guard was on duty. Only problem I had with the beach was the very loud thumpy music coming from the beach bar next door. They have a loud speaker on the beach. At times this disturbed a few of us sitting by pool as it was so loud. Hotel was exceptional clean and the staff were the friendiest I've come across in all my years of travelling. I can defintely nderstand why many people return to this little gem of a hotel year after year.

What a lovely, adult only hotel! We stayed half board, the food was very good as was the quality of the drinks. Our room was large with a balcony and sea view. The bed was very comfortable. Aircon was effective. The room had all the extras you would hope for: fridge, hairdryer but you have to pay to use the safe. Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion were all lovely and available to buy at the hotel. The pool and poolside was kept very clean with plenty of beds and umbrellas. Bed reservation does take place. The pool bar is fully stocked and you can buy lunch there too. The hotel is on a nice, very long beach with free sun beds. There are plenty of beach bars to choose from which encourages you to get up from the sun bed and walk! The staff make this hotel...Alexander (manager) is always around, he is hands on and very friendly. Christina is one of the first people you meet on arrival, she is a fabulous front of house, will help with anything and always has a smile on her face. Restaurant and bar staff are attentive and very friendly as are the house keepers (too many names to remember - sorry, but you were all great!) Santa Marina Plaza - thank you for a great stay!
