My wife and I spent two weeks all-inclusive at the hotel earlier this month. The building is 25 years old and is "functional". We had a side sea room facing the mountains and had the hot evening sun on our balcony, and splendid sunsets as the hills changed colour. The main part of the restaurant is characterless, but there is... More

We've spent a week with friends in June 2009. Booking through a tour operator as the rates for individual clients and direct bookings were much higher. The location was just fine , Amoudara is very close to Heraklion which is very convenient for someone who wants to discover the local night life. The rooms were rather small as well as... More

We stayed at the Marina Beach for two weeks in September. We stayed in the bungalows which are not bungalows but more of a two storey building. We was very lucky with our room as it was first floor and a family room but there were only two of us. The overall impression of the hotel is very good. It... More

We are staying now at the Marina Beach Hotel. This is just a quick overview on some of the things we have come across. Food terrible. If you are a fussy eater then please don't go to this hotel.

The overall appearance was dreary. The airconditioning must have been turned down in the night by the hotel on some sort of timer and we woke up often during... More

Just got back from staying 2 days at this place. Was informed it was 4 stars. No way this was true. It might have been the case 30 years ago but the only think that has been updated at the hotel is paint. Just a quick summary for you: - lock on the door didnt work. No kidding, I tried... More

Good food, good location, lovely pool but not enough sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach or around the pool. Towels placed on sunbeds and the management not prepared to do anything about it.
