Beds were good - not too soft or hard, just perfect for us. Generous breakfast. Friendly staff, in all contact points. Pool and beach area clean and pleasant. Great sea- and poolview from 9th floor. Possibility for late check-out. Thanks for the few extras we got: eg. prepaid sunbeds and fruit+wine greeting.

Amazing

We stayed there for a night but what can I tell about this hotel !! Location ? Amazing . Staff always smiling and willing to help. Restaurant and pools were clean and quite comfortable! What impressed us the most was the stuff at the bar during the night! Stratos and Yiannos if I spell them names correctly! Stratos with his intelligent sense of humor was not only there to give us the drink but to have a small talk with us every time we wanted to with a huge smile on his face !! Special thanks to this guy for making our night there and recommending some amazing places to visit in chania !! Yiannos as well was very efficient and quite fast on picking up the empty glasses from our table ! We definitely recommend this hotel and looking forward to come back !!

Perfect!

The food is super tasty. They really put heart in cooking. They also have a different theme of the day, like Mexican or Chinese day, but on that day you can still get a proper local food. The view from balcony at 9th floor is breathtaking. People are super nice. We will definitely come back. All the best!

I was travelling alone and I wanted a place which will have all the amenities to stay inside the hotel and relax myself and Iolida beach was the perfect match!! I was leaving in room with private gym ( brand new technogym equipment) and sea view from all the windows! The food was excellent. Very rich breakfast with a lot of choices! Every night the dinner food is different as the chef choose other worldwide cuisines with Cretan twists! For sure I will come back ! Thank everybody for this perfect experience

Lovely Beachside Getaway with Great Service"

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It has an excellent location, just a short walk from the beach, and two great pool areas. The staff were warm, friendly, and always willing to help. Breakfast offered a good variety of options, and we appreciated being able to explore local restaurants for lunch and dinner. Our room came with a private pool, which was a real highlight and made our stay even more relaxing.

Nice Family Summer holiday

The property is absolutely fantastic. Location is superb. Facilities are great. Great breakfast, variety of Lunch, snacks and wonderful dinner every day. We were on All Inclusive, so we didn’t need anything else regarding food and drinks. We had 2 rooms, one of them with a private pool and it was really beautiful. Rooms are very spacious and with all the necessities required. Both rooms were equipped with a small kitchenette a living room which we had a sofa bed in, separate bedroom and a bathroom . Shower was very spacious and comfortable. The room with the private pool was also with snacks, wine, beer, soft drinks etc. The private beach and the beach is really nice. The people from the reception are really helpful . They suggested us with excursions which we really enjoyed

First of all can't say enough about how nice the whole staff was. Everyone was very helpful, from advice on where to go for food, what to visit, from where to rent a car etc. Rooms were very big with an awesome view of the sea., and most important it was facing north which for me in Grece is a bonus. General hotel clenliness was good, rooms were also cleaned daily. Beach is awesome everywhere in Agia Marina. Nothing but smooth sand and clear waters. Perfect for kids.
