Marea Boutique Suites

Hosts were so welcoming when we arrived. They showed us to our apartment, which I can only say was OUTSTANDING. Everything that you could possibly need was at hand. The styling of the apartment was very smart. The bed was sooo comfy!!! The location couldn’t be better. We had a car, and it was so close to the fortezza car park, and at the same time in the heart of the old town. It was also on the street to the port. Probably one of the nicest places we have stayed on our road trip around Crete! We will definitely return here if we find ourselves in Crete again. I would like to thank you for your lovely hospitality, and your kind gift. Hope to see you again

This hotel is on the edge of old-town by the water. It is almost a perfect location. We'd stay there again. We had a rental car, so parking was important to us, so let me say word there. The ******* listing said there was parking, but that didn't mean the hotel provided parking. It only meant there was parking available from someone else in the area. There was a paid lot right across that street that had slots available even when the area was the most crowded. The cost was about 20 Euros per day. There is free parking available if you can grab a spot early in the morning. Bottom line: don't sweat the parking as long as you're willing to pay. Breakfast was 15 Euros and I didn't think it was worth it, but there were lots of places to eat within easy walking.

Great boutique stay in Rethymnon Lovely boutique hotel right in the middle of the old town. Beautiful room with fantastic facilities. Small kitchen, fridge, kettle, coffee maker, wine, raki, water, fruit, toast & jams. Modern TV with Netflix etc. Shower and toiletries were brilliant. Couldn’t fault it. I would highly recommend.

Starting from the beginning of the holiday I'll give as much information as I can about location, hotel and the lovely hosts Marea and her mum. Summarising the 3 best things are how insainly clean it is (brand new), the amazing location and how lovely Marea and her mum are. -Transport- From the airport was very easy, on the way we got a taxi which was 100€ and on the way back we got a bus to Chania and then taxi to the airport which was 40€ (Both ways took about the same amount of time, 1h 20.) -Location- The hotel has an absolutely amazing location, a quiet street with no cars and very little passing people yet the harbour is less than 2 minutes walk from the room. -There's so many lovely restaurants, traditional Greek food, luxery sushi, cheaper Gyros cafes, some in the harbour or over looking the sea, others in the historical old town. -The beach is 15 mins walk past loads of shops, cafes and restaurants. It's a nice walk that's not down a hot busy road, there's lots of shade under the cafe fronts and we really liked it. The beach is mainly sandy with loads of sunbed rentals/water sports, no massive rocks in the sea, it's got a nice gentle slope and doesn't get too deep too quickly. (The beach is huge! If you like a walk it's almost 12k long!) Please don't worry about this place not having a pool, we've never been on holiday without a pool before but would definitely do it again. The beach is so lovely you're not missing out. -You can walk 10 mins to castle remains with amazing views over the town/harbour. In the town there's lots to see if you have a cloudy day. -We couldn't see the sunset from the main harbour, it goes behind the hill but from the hotel if you walk 5 mins you can get the the other side of the town and watch the sunset by the sea. -Hotel- -Reception. The outside is well lit, there is key card entry and umbrellas if you need them. -Breakfast room. As we were at the end of the season we had breakfast in our room but the dinning area is lovely, light and airy with high ceilings. -Upstairs. There are 3 rooms so the hotel was very peaceful, the other rooms have their own entrance outside. -We stayed in the balcony room. Balcony small but enough for two. Door had open and vent position with anti bug net that could be slid over, didn't see a single bug or mosquito during out whole holiday. There was an area to dry bikinis which we found very useful. -Bedroom- -The bed was large and very comfortable, very soft sheets and great black out curtains. An LED control panel for lighting by the bed, great options for different types of soft mood lighting. Netflix big TV. -Kitchen. Not too small but also not too big, perfect useful size for what we needed, doesn't feel like it takes over the room. Again all brand new and totally spotless. Good size fridge with inbuilt freezer, two types of coffee we had filtered machine and pod machine, kettle, toaster and blender. We had wine, homemade raki, fruits, toast, homemade cake, oran

Lovely service, beautiful rooms, tastefully decorated and spotless. The location was excellent, on a quiet street in old town with easy access to everything: shopping, restaurants, waterfront. The breakfast was amazing, with great selection of different foods every day. Would go back there again.

Very nice and helpfull hosts. Very well decorated modern and clean room with good facilities. Bed very comfortable. No noise at all other than birds chirping. Great place to stay. Location perfect. Would stay again....................
