Great place in a fantastic quiet location. Crete Mare is almost at the far end of Plakias but is only a couple of minutes walk to the main street along the sea front. The room was lovely with a great view out over the sea and breakfast was excellent. We'd definitely stay here again.

The shower was cold in the morning but hot by late afternoon.

Fantastic location overlooking the sea with great sun terrace and unforgettable sunsets. By far, my most comfortable and luxurious room in Crete. Beach in front, tavernas, cafes, etc all closeby. Breakfast area and terrace and extremely friendly hosts.

Nothing

the owner and staff are wanderful people !! late check out on request , very helpful , perfect location , oppposite the sea ! best location in plakias !!!

Beachfront location, seaview rooms.

On the balcony it was a really bad smell. Probably from the drain or something, but you cannot sit there and relax.

The hotel owner and staff are very nice and welcoming. The room is lovely and the balcony in front of the sea is fantastic i could sit there for hours. The bed is very comfortable too.

The hotel is in perfect location in the Lovely town of plakias. Located minuets away from the center but just far out enough to have more peace and quiet. The beach in front of the hotel is wonderful

Great location, calm, but close to good taverns, beach. The seaside view is amazing. The owners were very pleasant and accommodating. The breakfast was simple, but plenty.

I stayed at Crete Mare probably about 20 total nights between my visits to plakias in 2021 and 2022. The rooms are very clean, the showers are a little bigger than most in crete and have glass enclosures that prevent the whole bathroom from getting wet. The option for a queen bed is nice, especially because it’s an actual queen bed and not two doubles stacked next to each other. The bed was very comfortable. The service is super friendly. The location is nice, with a calm beach right in front cause the water is protected by rocks to slow the sometimes wind-blown sea. The view tops everything off though. Beautiful views from every room, and close enough to hear the ocean at night. I can’t speak for the breakfast, because I usually didn’t get up early enough for it, but the breakfast next-door at nikos on the rocks serves breakfast all day, and is very good. One other benefit is that nikos bar (next door) stays open later than most other bars in plakias (if your into that, which I was). Service at nikos is also excellent.

The wifi could perhaps be a little stronger.

Fabulous position and view. Friendly attentively staff. Dealt with a faulty wc quickly.

Could do with some info about the hotel's facilities on display e.g. whether breakfast is included and the times. But nothing fundamentally wrong.
