Mare Blue Crete

We had an amazing holiday at Mate Blue hotel Crete. Our room was clean and spacious and was cleaned everyday. The FRAM entertainments team were excellent- Nordine, Jade and Lynn were all friendly and made our holiday with all the various activities and evening parties - they are all brilliant! The food is excellent- big selection to choose from. All the bar staff were great. I would definitely recommend this hotel and we would love to return sometime. Well done to all the staff for creating such a friendly holiday vibe!

It’s the one of the best weeks in my life. Very positive people and atmosphere. Greek food was really delicious!☺️🇬🇷 Room was clean everyday!

The best people from Greece. I spend hear one week and for me everythink was nice.

Just arrived home from a weeks stay a the Mare Blue Crete. Booked with Jet2. Had a private transfer with them which took 1 1/2 hours. On first impressions the hotel looks great, it's exceptionally clean and reception had us booked in quickly. Sadly our first impressions didn't last long. There are some good points the beach is right on your doorstep (unwalkable on as its stones) with the children' pool next door and a small swing park. That's as far as it goes for entertaining children. There is literally no other facilities for children, no evening entertainment, one night of mini disco but only in French and German, no English translation at all. If you took the children's pool away this would be an adults only hotel. The top quieter pool is very nice but has limited sunbeds and only gentle swimming allowed no playing in the pool. Drinks are very limited, Rum, Gin, Whisky, Vodka and Brandy with your chosen mixer, a few cocktails limited to the above drinks with blue or orange syrup to jazz it up. Everything else you have to pay for. Only one bar open in the evening, no entertainment here either for adults or kids, unless you want to watch the football. The hotel does have a beach bar but only for the above same drinks. No food at all. I think a few very limited mid afternoon snacks a the quiet pool ( can't comment as we didn't use this). As a family we ended up eating out in the local taverna's 5 out of 7 nights because the food and ambience at the hotels canteen (sorry I cant call this a restaurant) no outside dining at all. So its Breakfast lunch and dinner in one place. School dinners, free for all come's to mind. Repetitive and Bland sums it up. There is an Italian a la carte but we didn't use this as the food is the same as the canteen but served to the table! Sorry Jet2 but this hotel is not offering a great holiday experience to your uk customers, we ended up using the hotel as a base, so although we made the most of our break we would definitely not return.

We had a wonderful family holiday at Mare Blue Hotel in Crete and would happily return. The hotel itself is in a beautiful location right by the sea, with lovely pools, a relaxing atmosphere and amazing views. What really made our stay special, though, was the fantastic team. A big thank you to Nikos, the restaurant manager, who was always warm, professional and made every mealtime feel welcoming and well organised. Special thanks as well to Yanis,The hotel managers, for being so helpful and approachable throughout our stay. It was clear he genuinely cared that guests were having a great experience. At reception, Fotis was excellent — friendly, efficient and always ready to help with any questions. He made everything easy from the moment we arrived. At the bar, Maria was brilliant — always smiling, kind and making great drinks. She added such a lovely atmosphere around the pool and bar area. And a big thank you to Kostas the lifeguard, who was attentive, professional and reassuring around the pool, especially for families with children. Overall, Mare Blue gave us a memorable holiday in Crete. Great hospitality, a beautiful beachfront setting, and a team who work hard to make guests feel welcome. Thank you all — we hope to visit again soon!
