Marina Sands

A cozy hotel by the beach! We traveled without children June and were welcomed in a nice way. A snack bar that serves beer, drinks and some food. Very good service. Outside the hotel is everything you need. We are coming back! Big thanks for everything!!! ❤️ Regards, Anders and Annsofie

The location is very good. The breakfast is simple but nice. The room was good, I would've liked to have a litle more space but it worked. Good pool bar and the swimming pool is very nice. Sunbeds all around. The staff is wonderful. Would recommend this hotel.

Have visited hotel marina sands 4 times and all 4 times it has been a pleasure. Friendly staff and things are under control. Lovely swimming pool which is clean and tidy. I highly recommend hotel marina sands. We are visiting hotel marina sands to august again

Marina Sands is a very cozy and pleasant 2 stars hotel but in my eyes a 3 stars hotel with lovely staff. The hotel is 60 meters from the beach and between the rooms and the beach are the pool with a restaurant that serves both cold and hot dishes as well as snacks and beer/drinks. The rooms are designed in an older standard, My bathroom had, for example, a bathtub and a shower curtain which you cannot normally count on in Crete. The furniture in the room is of an older type but functional. Modern television. In my hotel booking it was included AC and a safe. So when you book, check if AC is included or not, otherwise the cost will be added. The breakfast consists of a few types of bread. different marmalades. 2 different Mortladella sausages and cheese. Tomato and cucumber. boiled egg. Greek Yoghurt with honey or with preserved fruit. Melon. Coffee/Tea and 3 juices. The hotel area consists of 2-storey buildings with narrow corridors with well-kept beautiful vegetation.

This hotel has seen better days but it does still shine. I stayed for 10-days on a trip with my brother. The staff was fast when the A/C in my brother’s room was broken. It was fixed in 24 hours - they ended up replacing the old A/C with a brand new unit. You pay for use of A/C - 8€ per day. Coming from Iceland, we both felt that this was worth the fee. Yes, the hotel has run down pieces but the staff and location keeps it in the 3-range. It is really clean - with daily room service (clean towels and sheets daily). The beds were fine and I slept well each night. I did not notice any noise seeping through door or window, which meant I could catch a nap during the day, even if my room was just by the pool. I recommend room 55 or room 24 (my room or my brother’s room). Fair warnings : *breakfast on offer remains the same - if you want variety, the supermarket across the street has excellent range of food stuff and a bakery on site - including fresh orange juice. *the beach has low stone boulders which makes it tricky to enter the sea. Try to enter on the right hand side (when facing the ocean) and I recommend using water-socks or water shoes ( the sands gets really hot and it can be painful to walk on it barefoot). *the hotel pool is excellent and is at its deepest 2.05m and 0.60m at the shallowest. You are not permitted to reserve pool loungers around the pool area until 8am (the loungers are locked from around 8pm to 8am) but after 8am you are permitted to place your towels to reserve - but do not abuse this! If you are not going to start sunbathing early, be aware that holding onto loungers for 3-4 hours without using them is considered as being rude. There are plenty of loungers on the beach itself - they do cost but as 7€ for two loungers for the whole day - the price is fair. The pool restaurant is average but the staff is excellent and we often had lunch there. Please note - they only accept cash but if you wish, you can charge to your room and then pay with a credit card at reception. This is a hotel that still deserves its 3 stars - just because of their staff and location. I will stay here again.

Δυστυχώς επιλέξαμε το marina sands για κάτι καλύτερο κυρίως, ζητάμε τα βασικά ΝΕΡΌ, καθαριότητα, Ευγένεια. Αν ζητάτε τα ίδια και εσείς μην επιλέξετε αυτό το ξενοδοχείο, αν γίνει διακοπή νερού θα μείνετε άπλυτοι για όσο χρειαστεί. Καθαριότητα δεν υπάρχει και αιτία δεν είναι μόνο οι Κυριακές, όπως είπε και η κοπέλα στην υποδοχή δεν είναι 5αστερο το ξενοδοχείο (ωραία διαφήμιση). Επίσης ένα απαραίτητο εφόδιο είναι το αντισκουριακό, το κλειδί στην πόρτα δεν γυρίζει αν δεν σπρώχνεις με όλη σου την δύναμη προς τα έξω. Τέλος να σας πληροφορήσω πως θα αποκτήσετε κατοικίδια τα διάφορα ζωύφια που περιφέρονται. Κρίμα δεν αντιπροσωπεύει καθόλου την Κρήτη!
