“Good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Note the month and year. I suspect this makes a big difference to other reviews. The hotel was clean and very quiet . The location is terrific , right on a good bathing beach. The food was nothing to write home about - very few local dishes but if you like jelly you will be in heaven. The wine and ouzo flowed relatively freely but a better class of guest to the usual All inclusive meant pleasantly undisturbed evenings on the terrace watching those magical sunsets. We had fresh towels most days and the rooms were spotlessly clean . Again luck determines satisfaction. Our room [ 213 ] was really nice. I suspect if you ask as we did for a twin bedded room you will get a better deal. The staff were really very nice and helpful.
It's a 7 km trek into Rethymnon and the buses are a law unto themselves. Hire a car , lots of good deals whilst we were there. Places we enjoyed visiting Agios Galena via Spili. Mono Prevelli , stop for lunch at the taverna by the old Venetian bridge . If you want a white knuckle Jeremy Clarkson drive , take The Old Road to Iraklion . We two 70 year olds had a very good holiday at this place and on this island. Has we say up north

Room Tip: Ask for a twin bedded room .

“This is not the right choice”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2007

We have stayed in 3 hotels on Creta. Maravel land was one of them. There are two hotels in the net -Maravel Land (on the beach) and Maravel Sky (across the road). When we arrived, the manager showed us the terrible stinking room in Maravel Land and told us that other rooms are busy, but she could suggest us a better room in Maravel Sky across the road. THe room across the road was also stinky, but a little bit bigger.After putting our laggage in the room we have decided to take a shower. .... The water was cold and we couldn't get any hot water from this old mouldy shower. After visiting our dining room in the hotel we have found that the category of the Maravel Sky is lower than Maravel Land and we decided to move back to the hotel we have booked before. After half an hour of quarreling, the manager gave us the room in Maravel Land with hot water in the shower and normal bed. So, dear travaller, be aware of the staff in Maravel Land. I think, this is the ordinary trick they do with tourists to fill the other hotel which is not so popular because it stands on the second line from the sea.
So, to summ up... The rooms are very unpleasant, dirty, with old furniture and stinky towels. There is a smell of mould in all rooms (we have seen 3 rooms :) ). The food in the restaurant is also awful. We have payed for breakfast and dinner befor. We had only brekfast in the hotel and went outside for a dinner. The staff is rude and unpleasant. THe most horrible situation was in the restaurant. While all people were eating, one of the cleaner was mooving near the tables with big hand-cart, puting scraps on it. It was disgusting. We were lucky to go away from the hotel every day. We have rent a car and came back to the hotel only for a sleep.

  • Liked — Only 5 minutes to drive till Rethymnon
  • Disliked — terrible hotel with terrible service

“Great hotel, wonderful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2006

Great location directly on the beach. What made the hotel though is the quality of the staff, I have not made friends in a hotel before, but these guys were the best I have ever met.
The price is reasonable, the location is purfect, highly recommended.

  • Liked — The location and the exceptional staff
  • Disliked — The food got a bit boring, but I did book all inclusive (Full board inc alchohol)
