The hotel is set in an olive grove and the entrance is resplendent with bougainvillea. The pool was a great option when one wanted to cool off instead of going to the beach. Breakfast was tasty, filling, and nutritious. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel Marina Village was excellent value for money and I would highly recommend it to others. Palaikastro is an unspoiled part of Greece that I would definitely like to visit again.

Good quality furnishings, excellent design with lots of shady corners.. Delightful pool and isolated setting create a peace and harmony amidst the olive groves. Really friendly, helpful and unintrusive staff. Great beaches close by, but also worth travelling a little (Kato Zakros was simply amazing). Palekastro town is lovely, Old Crete with an identity not defined by tourism. Seek out Maria at the Wellness/Massage clinic too.

Rooms were small (but how long do you spend in your room?), and dated, but as previously indicated, good quality.

Very pleasant place surrounded by olive trees, just outside a small village that can be reached by foot in few minutes thanks to a private passage. The room was big and clean, with a nice balcony and comfy beds. The staff was always really kind, welcomed us with a drink near the swimming pool and gave us suggestions for dinner. Good breakfast in the patio outside, with coffee, cake and fruit, greek yogurt, boiled eggs, and much more. The position is perfect for reaching the beatiful beaches nearby and visiting the east area. We really enjoyed our days here and would definitely recommend it.

All was perfect, just a suggestion: a small drying rack could be nice for hanging wet swimming suits

They did not have everything (it is a small hotel) but everything they do have is very good quality. Fresh food, home-baked cake, lovely meze to go with a drink. Also, knowledgeable advise for things to do. And last but certainly not least: the friendliness of the two brothers who run the place!

The photos on the website do not do justice to the lovely place (Giorgos: please update this website finally).

The included breakfast was great, rich enough to get up full of energy. All the beaches in the area are within 15 min drive.

Keep in mind that even in the middle of summer, it's reaaaally windy over there. The Vai beach with the palm trees is by far the best and the less windy of them all. It has sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, toilets, big parking area, restaurant, cafe bar, and the best snorkeling I've seen anywhere in Crete. The fauna variety is just spectacular. The other beaches are great for wind surfers and they don't provide sunbeds and umbrellas, they are quite rocky both in and out of the water.

Really good thing that personal is friendly, everywhere is clean, they have included breakfast and has a pool.

The room was not cosy and and first I felt like I'm in jail, because there were only one small window, high ceiling and white empty walls. The place where the hotel is quite far from civilastion, the way to hotel is not a paved road

The breakfast was very good. The coffee could have been stronger for my taste, but overall we were very satisfied. The pool was nice, the right size. The cicadas gave a summery concert. I liked to read and relax by the pool. The flowers around the property were beautiful: plumeria and oleander.

Just the coffee could have been stronger.

The host, he was absolutely lovely into the details, very caring and helpful in regard to the road to take and we went to Voila village an old village up to the hill. A beauty, I can recommended - thank you, 🙏🏼

Not much

Beautiful garden & pool, quiet surroundings & excellent position to explore the area. Super friendly family that make you feel at home and are happy to give suggestions. Comfortable room with balcony. Great value.

We liked everything

Excellent breakfast, wide choice, waitress service, in a pleasant location. Lovely swimming pool In gorgeous setting. Very kind, friendly and helpful hosts, especially Yorgos. Checkout at 12.00. Room was nicer and larger than the photos suggested. Natural setting of trees, shrubs and flowers delightful. Would return in an instant.

For us, having a kettle in the room to make tea and coffee would have made it perfect. To be fussy, the possibility of a fried-egg at breakfast, and air-conditioning in reception would be good.
