My husband and I spent a week here for part of our honey moon and couldn’t have been more impressed! It was truly the highlight of our trip. The hotel is BEAUTIFUL, the staff is amazingly attentive and friendly, amenities were outstanding, five stars all around! If you are looking for a place to stay around and relax, this is absolutely it. We didn’t want to explor Chania much, so this wasn’t an issue, but it is a bit far from the town. However, the hotel offers so many experiences to enjoy every day (wine tasting, snorkeling, water activities, cooking classes, a full spa, etc).

New property in Chania … exceptional facility and staff … superb FIVE star experience Enjoyed the experience immensely, even though they had been open for only a few months … they delivered an exceptional experience. We had the junior suite with a swimming pool, spacious and elegant. You almost don’t want to leave your room. Manos, the operations manager was warm, caring and welcoming. The facilities: 3 swimming pools with excellent seating, gym: state of the art, and multiple restaurants were exceptional. Thank you Marriott Chania

The hotel is new and beautiful. Good quality materials used. The area is so beautiful and the sea is perfect for snorkeling. Hotel makes you feel you wabt to be healthy and fit (nice healthy food options and nice fitness classes). Maybe not suitable for very small kids due the many rocks around (however many nice pools) but a fantastic choice for Crete- feels luxurious and quiet. Kids club staff is fantastic and although I was not so sure about kids club in the basement conference room (the outside designated kids club area is too hot in August) my kids loved it. Movie nights outside were very much appreciated! Amazing experience!

Stunning setting and what we thought was going to be an amazing stay. Might be our fault for going to a hotel in the first week but as the week went on, the following happened: - charged £700 more because we booked via Expedia - why has this happened? - no systems internally are working, everything was difficult - washing took 2.5 days to happened, when we called up and asked where it was, they said they would find it and ring back but no response till we called the following morning

Superbe mais...

Magnifique endroit, bel hôtel moderne. Restaurants de qualité (surtout celui de poissons et le grec), petit déjeuner bon et varié. En revanche, le service est limite catastrophique pour un établissement de cette gamme (comme four seasons). Meme si tout le monde est gentil et sympathique, il faut demander plusieurs fois les choses par whatsapp (lu des heures apres) ou par telephone. Avec un peu de chance on finit par avoir ce quon veut que ca soit dans la chambre (menage, eau, serviettes), Concierge, reception... c'est compliqué. Les prix des repas sont variables, mais quand même trop chers comparativement a la moyenne locale et aux produits abondants. Les taxis aussi... surtout pour 10 minutes de trajet souvent. On mettra cela sur le fait que l'établissement vient d'ouvrir car il pourrait etre l'un des meilleurs de Grèce.
