Reviews and Ratings
We recently enjoyed a peaceful holiday at Santa Marina Plaza, thanks to its beautiful setting and the tranquil atmosphere it offers. The staff were exceptionally attentive and added a personal touch to our experience, although we felt the evening entertainment could have been livelier during our quiet week. While we appreciated the cleanliness and spaciousness of our room, we'd prefer a separate shower next time. Overall, a lovely stay with easy access to nearby attractions.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the staff were exceptional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The location was truly stunning, right by the beach, making it easy to relax and enjoy the sea views. However, I faced some issues with the room allocation on arrival, which was quite disappointing and dampened my initial excitement. The dining options were great, but I felt there could be more variety in the breakfast offerings. Overall, it offered excellent service and beautiful surroundings but had setbacks concerning room availability.
My stay at this boutique hotel was wonderful, especially with its serene atmosphere and beautiful beach access. The service from the staff was exceptional, always attentive and friendly, which added to the overall enjoyment of my trip. The dining options provided a nice variety, but sometimes the temperature of the food could have been better. The proximity to local shops and restaurants made it easy to explore the area. Overall, it felt like a luxurious getaway, though a couple of minor improvements could enhance the experience even more.
Our stay at Santa Marina Plaza was absolutely delightful! The beautiful beach right outside our door and the stunning sea views made our vacation unforgettable. The staff were incredibly attentive and made us feel welcome every day, while the diverse dining options offered plenty to savor. However, there were a few nights with noisy neighbors that disrupted our peace. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the Cretan sunshine.
The hotel has an excellent beachside location that allows easy access to soft sands and shallow waters, creating an ideal environment for relaxation. During my stay, I appreciated the well-maintained rooms and vibrant atmosphere, despite an overbooking issue that required me to change rooms partway through my visit. The dining experience was generally good, though the variety in breakfast could be improved. While the value for money seemed reasonable overall, a few charges felt excessive for services that are often included elsewhere.
