My stay at the Maleme Mare hotel was truly a wonderful experience. The level of service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. The food was varied and delicious, providing a delightful array of options. Additionally, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, perfect for a peaceful getaway. On the downside, the beach was a bit rocky, and sometimes swimming was not allowed due to wind conditions. Overall, I had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this hotel.

I had a quiet and relaxing stay, perfect for those needing a peaceful break, though the hotel lacks entertainment options for lively evenings. The room I had was modern and bright with a nice sea view, but the kitchen facilities were quite limited and not consistently stocked. The dining options were decent in quality but felt more like a cafeteria setup, which detracted a bit from the overall experience. It's a good choice if you're looking to unwind and aren't concerned about activities or vibrant nightlife.

My stay at Maleme Mare offered a mix of quiet relaxation and some room for improvement. The hotel is peaceful and the atmosphere is great for adults looking for a break. However, the dining experience could really benefit from more variety and ambiance, as it felt more like a canteen than a restaurant. The cleanliness of the rooms and the welcoming staff greatly added to our experience, but the lack of entertainment options may not suit everyone.

Our stay was incredibly relaxing with spacious accommodations and two lovely pools to enjoy. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and the atmosphere was perfect for unwinding. However, the food options were not always to our liking, and the all-inclusive drinks policy could use some improvement, particularly concerning the time restrictions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, great for a family getaway.

The hotel is situated in a quieter part of Crete, which contributed to a peaceful atmosphere, although it does make accessing nightlife or more touristy spots a bit of a journey.

While the breakfast offered a good variety, I wished for more quality options at lunch and dinner. There were some misses, but we always found something to eat, and nearby restaurants proved to be a great alternative.

Both pools were well-maintained and provided plenty of loungers for guests; however, the constraints on the all-inclusive beverage service in the evenings felt limiting.
