We just had a superb holiday at Giannoulis - Santa Marina Beach Hotel! The location is breathtaking, with easy beach access and friendly, accommodating staff. While the food was varied and delicious, getting a perfect view from our sea view room was a bit disappointing due to nearby trees. Overall, it was a memorable trip with some aspects that could be improved, such as the pool's activity options and drink selections.

We opted for a sea view room, but unfortunately, the view was obstructed by trees. The room was cozy and had a nice strong shower, but renovations seemed a bit uneven.

The pools were relaxing, though the activity pool lacked a shallow end for games. This was a bit of a letdown for our teenagers who were looking for more fun.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the combination of a clean environment and a helpful team. The various dining options were impressive, though some dishes didn't cater well to vegetarians. The beach view was stunning and added to our overall experience, but the sound insulation in the rooms could certainly be improved, as we were often disturbed by noise from neighboring guests.

Our stay at Santa Marina Beach Hotel was enjoyable overall, with fantastic beach access and a lovely atmosphere. The hotel facilities, especially the pool areas, were well-maintained and relaxing. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, particularly during breakfast, and the internet connectivity could be improved. Despite these minor issues, the location near Chania was a significant advantage.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Santa Marina Beach Hotel! The beach is stunning and perfect for families, and the staff made my experience unforgettable with their warmth and care. The accommodations were generally comfortable, though there were some initial issues with room size for families. The dining options were varied and delicious, especially the à la carte dining. While my overall experience was wonderful, I was a bit disappointed with the initial size of the room we received and the extra charges for upgrades.
