Pleasant and relaxing.

Very clean and regular change of towels. Good terrace areas. Nice pool and gardens.

Very small shower. Shower curtain not sufficient. Lack of sufficient number of knives and forks ( only 2 of everything). Need a couple of mugs.

The best thing about this place is the owner Manolis and his family. They are a super hospitable and lovely family that made the trip more enjoyable for us from the moment we stepped into the property. Ask them anything and they try their best to help you. Besides, the property is very clean, with daily cleaning service, a beautiful garden, pool, restaurant and the beach 5 minutes away.

Wifi is weak in some rooms, as others mentioned, but I used the terrace to do my work, and it was totally fine. You can also enjoy a nice view of the garden and the weather.

Excellent value, immaculate property in quiet location close to Chania

A lovely property 20 minutes drive from the Chania old town, set in a quiet area of Gerani by the sea. The family run property is kept immaculately clean, and they are always available, providing an excellent, friendly service. The room was large with a small kitchenette, and a spacious balcony was perfect for breakfast and enjoying a glass of wine whilst watching the sunset over the mountains. There are rooms with sea views. The long beach, perfect for walks, is 50m from the property. The room had twin beds plus a sofa bed..

There is free wifi, but it was a little slow.

exactly what the doc ordered

Overall super lovely stay! The owners Lia and Manolis are great people who really care about their hotel and the people staying in it. Huge room, with all you could need. Kitchenette, balcony, air-con, Greek TV. Meticulously clean. Beach with clear warm water (mid-late September) literally across the street! And a good-sized pool for the days when it's too windy for the beach, with wifi and a bar. The owners also make their own delicious wine, olive oil and raki! And the food in their restaurant is all homemade and authentic. Every dish we had was finger-licking good! Cannot say enough good things about this place! For a no-fuss chillout time by the sun and ocean - this place is all you could ever want :)

The wifi signal was quite weak in our room, but we were also the furthest away from the lobby with a fully booked hotel.. so that's understandable. And it's not that hard to download stuff for offline use or just simply get your digital work done in the lobby - get some wine while you're at it ;) I had to catch a webinar and zoom worked fine down by the lobby. Beach could use a clean-up. But that's not on the Hotel, it's just general beach care of the area. The Autumn season brings strong winds also so it's understandable that it gets a bit littered. We made it part of our daily beach visits to pick up and throw away the plastic around our area, maybe you visiting could do the same x

We had a lovely week at Vagia Mare. Mani and his family made us feel very welcome. With a smile on his face, nothing is

The complex is clean with beautiful gardens, excellent food, lovely pool and a good standard of accommodation. Hospitality was superb

A Spacious, Famiky-owned, great value Accomodation

The spacious rooms are extremely clean. We appreciate the care and details attended to during our stay. The restaurant food is home-made and delicious! The live dancing was spectacular! The gardens are a work of art!

There is nothing we didn't like. We highly recommend VAGIA MARE!

Our five persons family visited the hotel for 10 days. We really loved to be there and the atmosphere was superb. Thanks

The property was really nice, clean and cosy. Garden was extremely beautiful and clean. Place was silent and good for the family also. We really loved the restaurant where you can find the best meals of the town.

Nice hotel with decent swimming pool and close to the beach. They also have a restaurant and a bar. Not too crowded in September. We had two balconies in our suite. Rooms were big and the AC worked without problems.

If you miss the room cleaning time then you have to wait until next day for room cleaning. The bar and restaurant are not open at night. The bathroom could have been bigger.

A very rare case of feeling compelled to write a pos review about such a well-run family-run hotel

Spotless Cleanliness!!! While this is not a huge luxurious resort, is is a very comfy and well maintained property which is living proof that its owners have a keen attention to detail! We didn't have any breakfast as we prefer getting out of bed late, but we saw from other guests that it included a pretty wide range of hot and cold options that should satisfy all preferences. The overall setup is really beautiful, welcoming and cosy, you can have lunch or a quick nibble or drink by the swimming pool (would recommend the usual selection of Cretan rusk salad, club sandwich, pizzas, burgers, greek salad, pasta dishes etc. all delicious with the best and most precious extra virgin olive oil from the owner's family's olive trees) while also enjoying the surroundings of a professionally trimmed garden, of which I have only seen similar in 5-star luxury resorts in the far east. The rooms are also very spacious and comfy with a refrigerator and equipped kitchenette for those who wish to make their own arrangements, with wooden furniture, comfy mattresses and latest technology air-con units. Very family-friendly, I should also add! What more can I really say?

There is not much to not like about this hotel business really. This is a very honest proposition that exceeds its star rating on all marks and in fact is much better on certain areas than other 5-star resorts that we've had the luck to visit in the past. Well done to the staff and management team for keeping up the good work!

It was by far the best hotel during our stay on Crete (and we have visited 7 different hotels)! The room was super nice and clean, the hotel area is full of greenery with a nice pool, beach is very close and Manolis is probably the most welcoming and friendly hotel manager/owner we have met. All for very reasonable price. Superb accomodation, highly recommended!

A bargain!

How can it be so cheap, you wonder? Is this real? Yes! I have no idea how they do it in terms of affordability but the place is an amazing bargain. You would easily pay around 100 Eur for something similar in Santorini, for example. The pictures are accurate. Super room (we had 211 or something like it) with two balconies, a perfect pool area with enough space for everyone, a lush garden and a beach (you can see it from the room) a few hundred meters away. Restaurant on the premises. A large grocery shop a short walk away. If you are looking for a resort type of accommodation with all the facilities, look no further.
