Mariamare apts

Maria was very accommodating and prepared separate vegetarian dishes for me, and the food was excellent. My daughter and I have just come back from a week here, and it was perfect for us. Our apartment was clean and comfortable, with an amazing view, and only a short walk from the centre. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely stay.

The food was absolutely lovely, and every area was clean and well kept. All the staff were friendly and accommodating, and couldn’t do enough for us. It’s quiet here because it’s outside the centre of Stalis, with a lovely view over the town, but shops, bars and the beach are only a short walk away. Bus stops are close too, so it’s easy to get to other towns. The location was perfect for us, and we’d love to come back.

We’re ten days into a two-week stay, and the quiet atmosphere has been ideal for a relaxing holiday. The communal areas are well kept, the bar area is lovely, the pool is great and there have always been enough sunbeds. There’s free parking right in front, plus a small shop at the bottom of the hill. Our spacious room has all the essentials and is serviced every other day. We’re self-catering, so I can’t comment on the food. The main beach is a 15-minute walk, but the room views are excellent. We hired a car for the full two weeks, making this a great base to explore eastern Crete, which we hadn’t visited on our three previous trips to the island. It’s at the quieter end of Stalis, which suits us. Air conditioning costs extra, as is standard for this type of accommodation. The bathroom has a small sit-in bath basin feature we haven’t seen elsewhere in Crete. If you want a lively place, this won’t suit you, but we love the tranquillity.

We had a lovely stay as a big family with three little kids. The rooms were nice, with spectacular views, and both breakfast and dinner were good, made with local products. There’s an outdoor pool for all of us and a new playground for the kids. 💜
