All I needed right by the beach

The room was exceptionally large, perfect for a couple and even better for myself as a lone traveller. My only gripe throughout the whole stay was the initial cleanliness of the room i.e. hair on the floor in the bathroom and on the wall in the shower cubicle so really, inexcusable.. which was baffling as the cleaners seemed to work relentlessly and cleaned daily. Perfectly situated with the beach on your back door so you forget about the lack of pool and within walking distance to a number of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.

Minerva beach.

Small family hotel. Friendly staff how were very accommodating, the 2 different rooms we had were very spacious but could do with a makeover. Bathroom came with a small shower stall but spoiled by the shower curtain .great water pressure. Our breakfast was extra but well worth the cost per head. Free WiFi but a bit slow. Outside area for meals was a lovely setting and just a few steps from the heath where guests get free sunbeds

Ideal hotel for a relaxing beach holiday

We stayed in a suite, room 112 and on arrival were pleasantly surprised with the size of the room. There is a large living area with 2 beds at one side where my teenage son slept. The bathroom was a good size and very clean and there was a large bedroom where my husband and I slept. We had a sea view from 2 balconies and a large seating area at the entrance to the room. The maid came everyday and changed towels and sheets every second day and there are 2 aircon units although the one in the living area didn't work as well as the one in the bedroom. There is a fridge (which had a fruit plate in and some water upon arrival which was very welcomed) a kettle and a coffee machine. There is a wall cupboard for storing food and a dishdrainer. We ate in the restaurant on a few occasions and enjoyed every meal. The mix grill for 2 was huge and actually fed 3 of us. The beach area was kept clean and tidy and the views were amazing. The location was perfect with shops and restaurants on your doorstep. Overall we got what we went for rest and relaxation in a quiet beachfront hotel with amenities close by. We would definitely go back.

Perfect location for a relaxing beach holiday

Perfect location for a relaxing beach holiday. Close to good local bus route to Chania if you want to explore the area further. Own private beach, free sunbeds, fabulous location. Great local restaurants. Our room was really clean and clearly recently decorated, good air conditioning, three balcony areas to dry clothes and to sit out, very comfortable beds, only giving four stars because the shower really needed attention, dripping showerhead and shower curtain did not contain overspills, tiles pretty murky, out of character with the rest of the apartment. The apartment could also do with a bit more delph and cutlery, only two cups, two glasses and two teaspoons to go with a fridge, kettle and coffee maker. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would not hesitate to return. Wifi was not great in the apartment but was quite good in the bar/restaurant area.

Flott beliggenhet og store rom!

Det var på slutten av sesongen og det hadde nettopp vært storm. Strandområdet var litt preget av stormen og det var få gjester på hotellet. Men rommet var stort og fint og betjeningen gjorde sitt beste for at vi skulle trives. Vi hadde det veldig fint!

Trivelig på stranda

En veldig flott beliggenhet praktisk talt på stranda. Restauranten serverer en veldig stor frokost med friskpresset appelsinjuice, egg, bacon, skinke ost, honning, syltetøy, oppskåret frukt, søte kaker og yoghurt med honning. Alt for 6 euro per person. Det er billigst i hele området. Store rom med gode senger. Typiske greske bad med trange dusjer. God internettdekning ute i restaurantområdet, men ikke i alle rom. Veldig trivelig og serviceinnstilt betjening. Dette hotellet kan anbefales.

A disposizione degli ospiti, ombrellone e lettini gratuiti.Ottimo anche il ristorante con terrazza sul mare. Fermata del bus a pochi metri dall'hotel e supermercato a 100 m.

A wonderful stay right on the beach front!

My wife and I stayed there for one week in a large suite facing the sea and absolutely loved it! The hotel location is excellent, right on the beach (we left the balcony door half-open in the evening to both fall in sleep and wake up with the relaxing sound of the waves -- wonderful). The suite was large, air-conditioned, and was kept very clean. The WiFi was OK for the most part, but could be shaky during peak hours. There is no swimming pool, but that didn't bother us at all being right on the beach front where hotel guests had access to free benches. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant, but instead visited different restaurants in Agia Marina or Chania town (short convenient bus-ride away). A wonderful stay!

Sisäänkirjautuminen oli outo, kreikkalaisten dialogi keskenään ; ja oudot kysymykset, kun sattumalta näki. WiFi-verkon signaali oli samanlainen kuin huoneen suihku, välillä tuli kuumaa ja toisena päivänä kylmää vettä vaihdellen. Näköala puutarhaan oli hoitamattomalle, ränsistyneelle tontille. Kissat naukuivat ja taistelivat joka yö. Huonesiivous tuli alkuun aina 9 - 10 välillä, todella aikaisin, kun oli heräilemässä. Hyttysten ja paikallisten mäkäräisten rajaton määrä yöllä oli käsittämätön ja paukamien lukumäärä raajoissa. Johtuiko "puutarhasta", tiedä sitten. Jos jotain hyvää voi sanoa, niin ilmastointi oli maksuton ja toimi. Espresso/kapselikahvinkeitin ok, mutta kuten aina matkalla ollessa - your mileage may vary. Ruuanlaittomahdollisuutta tässä paikassa ei ole. Ihan lähellä oleva Koupes todella hyvä ravintola ja taksin sai lennosta tai tolpalta viereisestä hotellista.

Fint og lite hotell som ligger ved strandkanten i Agia Marina. Vi var så heldige å få rommet vårt oppgradert til honeymoon suiten da vi ankom, det var ekstra stas. Vi hadde 2 balkonger, begge med utsikt til havet. Personalet var både hyggelige og hjelpsomme. Hotellet har en restaurant mellom rommene og stranda, hit kommer både gjester og andre for å spise. Alle gjester på hotellet får låne solsenger gratis. Anbefaler dette hotellet :)
