Giannoulis Santa Marina Plaza

"Our second stay at Giannoulis Santa Marina Beach in Crete, and honestly, it felt like coming back home. ❤️🇬🇷 After our first visit, we already knew we wanted to come back — and this year we made it happen. Once again, we had an amazing holiday and were made to feel so welcome from the very first day. The staff are truly wonderful. Everyone is friendly, kind and always ready to help, and you can really feel that they care about their guests. The food was excellent, with lots of choice, and our room was clean, comfortable and very well looked after. What I love most is the atmosphere. After visiting for the second year in a row, it no longer feels like just another hotel — it feels like a place we have a connection with and a place we are happy to return to. A huge thank you to the entire team at Giannoulis Santa Marina Beach for another unforgettable holiday. ❤️ We came back because we loved it the first time, and we are leaving already thinking about coming back again. See you next year, hopefully! 🇬🇷☀️❤️"

"We are currently staying at Santa Marina Beach Resort as a couple and honestly, we couldn’t be happier with our choice! The biggest highlight for us is definitely the staff. Everyone is incredibly kind, friendly and always smiling. You can really feel that they want you to enjoy your stay, and this positive atmosphere makes such a difference. A huge thank you to everyone working here! ❤️ The hotel itself is lovely and the location is perfect. The beach right in front of the hotel is beautiful, the sea is amazing, and we really enjoy spending our days there. One of our favourite places is definitely the relaxation pool. It really is a little oasis of peace and quiet – perfect when you just want to relax, read, have a drink and completely switch off for a while. The food is also really good, with plenty of choice every day. We’ve been enjoying the all-inclusive and haven’t had a bad meal so far. Everything is clean and well maintained, and overall the whole resort just has a really nice and relaxed atmosphere. We genuinely haven’t found anything to complain about. We’re still here while writing this review, but we already know that we’ll be leaving with great memories. 😊 Beautiful beach, great food, amazing atmosphere and, most importantly, wonderful people. We would happily come back! Thank you Santa Marina team for making our holiday in Crete so special! 🇬🇷☀️"

"A very mixed bag! The sea front room is in the old building, but well maintained. The bed is comfortable but reminded me of the shorter French beds. The bathroom was well modernized, but balcony had a very enjoyable view. Nice private beach with sun beds and umbrellas. Overall good for the hotel part. The Food and beverage staff needs education. Spilled food from the buffet was put back in the serving bins, my table got cleaned even though I was not finished and the food quality was mixed. Needs really improvement."
