Santa Marina Plaza Giannoulis Hotels (Adults Only)

Nice hotel and rooms ! Very good food! Good services!

Very nice hotel with excellent staff. Katarina, Niki, Nicolette, Kevin just to name a few, although they were all friendly and helpful. Nice sea view room with good air conditioning. Good pool with own sunbeds on private lovely beach. We were bed & breakfast but we did eat here in the evening a couple of times and breakfast (buffet) and dinner food was great. Great couples hotel.

We loved our stay here. When they found out that we were pregnant they upgraded us to a beach front room which was so lovely. We opted for breakfast included, and were always offered more coffee and juice. The spread was great, all the egg options, different breads, pancakes, yoghurts and fruits. Justin and Niki were particularly friendly and made the trip even more special. The room was immaculate and they cleaned them regularly, situated on the beach it has the perfect location. Would come back again!

We chose this hotel as it offered a beautiful location right on the beach - it truly was gorgeous - and they offered fair pricing for sole travellers (we travelled with both our Mums who had a room each). We arrived around 11.20 p.m. to be told that the air con in one of the rooms wasn't working, so one of our group had to stay in a different room in the hotel overnight and then move the following morning. This seems to line up with some of the other reviews where rooms are not ready. Our room was ground floor with a gorgeous seaview (113). It was extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean, with the towels changed twice a day. The shower head does seem to have a life of its own, but otherwise we wanted for nothing. The view from the beach bar/ pool area is everything you would hope for. You can hear and see the waves, and the beach is a dozen strides away. Maybe a couple of observations: perhaps the drinks prices were a little on the high side and one or two of the meals were a bit hit and miss. Oddly enough, there are no toilets at the beach bar, which means that you have to go back to your room or to reception and down a floor to get to the nearest facilities. The beach is just lovely with crystal clear water, plenty of sunbeds and a great view of Thodorou island. The selection at breakfast was excellent, as was the service. Reception was very helpful. We asked about taxis and to change euros into smaller denominations and they were happy to help. Chania is easy to reach by taxi, as is Platanias, the next 'village' along, which is very much nicer than the main street in Aghios Marina. We all agreed that the hotel was a little tired in terms of decor and others we spoke to who had been before agreed that it was time for a lick of paint and some refreshing of the rooms. This is very minor though, and did not detract from our enjoyment of the place. Kevin the barman kept the beach bar open for us on that first night, which we were very grateful for as there was no food on offer, and his service throughout the holiday was brilliant. We must also thank the incredibly helpful Niki, Argiro, Justin and Haris who are huge asset to the hotel along with the fantastic cleaning team. Thank you to all concerned, we came home relaxed and well-rested!
