Mari Kristin Beach Hotel

Just returned today from a very relaxing break at the Marie Kristin Beach Hotel. It was perfect for the three of us — myself, my husband, and our 15-year-old daughter. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or friendly. in fact, every Greek person we made was incredibly friendly. We arrived late at night (around midnight) and, even though we’d missed dinner, they kindly prepared a fresh salad plate for us — such a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the whole stay. The hotel is in a fantastic location, just steps from the beach. The pool is small but ideal for chilling out. No need to set an alarm to reserve sunbeds! Everyone just came and went as they pleased. There are several beaches within walking distance. You do need to pay for sunbeds and umbrellas at those, but the prices were very reasonable. We stayed on a half-board basis. The food at the hotel was fine - buffet style. The hot partner with a restaurant just down the road which was absolutely amazing — definitely worth trying. And you also get a restaurant discount for staying at the hotel The only small downside is that the rooms are quite compact. It was manageable for three of us, but a bit tight — I’d recommend no more than two people per room for maximum comfort. For all the things in your room, though. We were out and about every day either at the beach on a sailing trip, visiting Heraklion town or shopping. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would absolutely recommend this hotel for a chilled, friendly, beachside holiday.

Really liked this hotel. The facilities were OK but the shower was very small and the door didn't close fully but enough not to complain about it as was only there 3 nights. What made this hotel was the staff were very good the night reception/bar tender Mike was great. I decided to go bed and breakfast, which had a good selection, as wanted to experience the restaurants in the area. Everything was stones throw. Alot of Spars convenience shops and restaurants were almost directly out of the hotel less than a couple minutes walk. Also gave a discount for staying at Mari Kristin. Beach was also 2 minutes walk from the hotel. Only down side was the poolside was small and as such had annoying people putting towels out before even going for breakfast so only swam there once preferring the beach. Nice stay due to location more so than anything else recommend for a short stay.

Really nice hotel situated only a 30 second walk from the beach, offers nice breakfast and dinner with a bar to purchase drinks. The hotel has a nice swimming pool. The location of the hotel is also about a 15 minute walk to the main ***** with bars and restaurants, however there are other bars and restaurants close by. The hotel is very clean. The only two things which could be improved is the wifi which is very slow and drinks being included with dinner (we were half board).
