Mari Kristin Beach Hotel

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 strip 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).

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a good holiday- they couldn’t of been more helpful, a special mention to Petros and Nikolas. The food at breakfast and dinner was lovely, rooms were great (although bathroom quite small). The pool was great, big with a large selection of sun beds. Great location, very close to good restaurants and bars.

We are a couple who stayed here for 9 nights recently and we had a super relaxing holiday. Having read the other reviews here we were aware of others experiences but I must say we had no problems at all. We stayed in room 301 and it was ideal. I think it is one of the best rooms in the hotel for couples. We had a great sea view, pool view and sun on the balcony for huge portions of the day. The room had a large double bed, air-conditioning, flat screen TV, a welcome bottle of wine and sweets, a couple of wine glasses and a small fridge that adequately held a couple bottles of water, a few beers and a bottle of wine. The en-suite was fine – a bit smaller than the norm but you’re only in there for a little while so it’s not a deal breaker at all, the shower did not leak out on to the floor if you closed the shower door properly but it did if the door was not closed properly. Breakfast and Dinner was included in our deal. There was combinations of the following. Breakfast catered for all – fresh fruit, fresh bread and baguettes, cold meat slices, cheese, bowels of cereal, pancakes, french toast, coffee, water, fried and boiled eggs, porridge and so on Dinner also catered for all – some of the things I can remember are lamb, chicken, turkey, gyros, wedges, fish, chips, potatoes, salads and cold dishes, pasta bolognese, soup, ice creams and various deserts. Yes you had to buy water with dinner but I had read about that already here in the other reviews so we were fine with that. It was only €1.50 for a bottle of water. The staff speak a few languages and are very friendly – they will help you any way they can. The pool area is small but again it’s mentioned here in the other reviews so we were aware. If I had to guess there’s seats around the pool for about 25-30 guests. There’s the usual carry on of booking a bed by putting your towel on it as early as you can and then disappearing for hours but sure we’re all guilty of it. If the pool is full then the beach is 1 minute away. Beds at the beach are €5 each and an umbrella to go with them is €4 , so that's €14 for a couple. Finally the hotel have a deal with Petalida, I can’t remember how much but you get a discount when you mention that you are staying in the hotel. Anyway the food is delicious, we went here 3 or 4 times for lunch. I would 100% recommend this hotel Nothing to do with the hotel but please note prices overall in Greece have gone right up than what they were a number of years ago. Some things were just as expensive as Ireland if not dearer. Taxi from hotel to Sarantari Beach was only 3km and cost €15. Chinese for 2 people with 1 glass of wine was €58 Dinner with drinks for 2 in two nearby restaurants came to €92 and €107, it would never cost us that back in Ireland. Pint of beer varied from €3.50 to €5.

The hotel is nice. They try and cater for all Europeans at breakfast but It wasn't our cup of tea. We was disappointed to find that when it says ( adults only) it means from 14 upwards as a group of school kids turned up and was running a mock on a night. If you want adults only, check to see if any 14 years old adults are there at the same time.

I booked this hotel with a group of 6 friends in May 2024 from Ireland.We arrived very late in the evening because our flight was delayed. Katelina was on duty at the reception. She was very kind and helpful the following morning when we requested her to move our rooms to upstairs rooms which were much better than the basement/ground floor rooms. They had great Seaview. The staff in the hotel bar especially Micheala was very welcoming to us. George a very young chap was very charming at breakfast time. Inna the receptionist was also very helpful. We enjoyed breakfast which was freshly made every morning. The only downside with the breakfast was lack of a good variety of fruit. Juice was not great but coffee was alright.
