Cold food and mosquito bites.

We had a lovely week in Georgioupolis the reason for my low score will become apparent. Firstly our room was clean, modern with a large comfortable bed, a decent sized balcony but not much of a view. The bathroom was modern and clean spacious. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided as were toiletries, which i appreciated. There was good aircon and a mini fridge. The small safe was an extra charge. The housekeeper attended daily with fresh towels, her work was immaculate. The rest of the hotel is where it all falls apart. The restaurant is small and cramped and does not flow. Apart from some very nice soup the food was awful, dishes not labelled, tough meat. We were lucky if the food was warm, most of the week it was stone cold. The deserts were tiny, the jelly was in a shot glass and contained two teaspoons of jelly. The bar area was nice and had a lovely view out to sea, the problem was a lack of seating, if 12 people were in the area the seats were gone and we ended up taking drinks back to our balcony. The drinks seemed of decent quality and sandwiches, peanuts and crisps were available. The hotel provided 12 sunbeds on a small area of beach outside the hotel, we only managed to lay on these once. The Mare Blue Hotel is 50 yards down the road and they have lots of sunbeds on the beach which you are allowed to use, the sunbed mats are filthy and the beach is like a builders yard. Most of the week were kept awake until 2am by drunken rowdy behaviour and even a drunken brawl one night involving a number of youths talking gangster Bruv. Georgioupolis is a lovely sleepy town well worth a visit, just choose your accommodation carefully.

Did not meet my expectations

My recent stay at Mare Boutique in Crete was a profound disappointment that fell far short of the enticing portrayal presented in their promotional materials. The disparities between the marketing and the reality of the hotel were staggering. One of the most glaring issues revolved around the food. Contrary to the idea of on-site cooking, we were subjected to a regimen of pre-delivered meals, served three times a day. Regrettably, the quality of these meals was nothing short of abysmal, leaving us with limited, unappetizing options that cast a shadow over our dining experiences, especially with being vegetarian. This resulted in us having to eat out a lot and added to our expenses leaving us massively out of pocket for an all-inclusive holiday. To make matters worse, the hotel sneakily tacked on various hidden extra costs, such as exorbitant charges for the use of a room safe and even bottles of water, which guests are only provided upon arrival. These added expenses felt like an opportunistic money-grab and only served to compound our growing disappointment. This extended to the hotel's touted convenience for visiting nearby destinations, such as Rethymnon and Chania, which was misleading. Transfers to these locales came at an inflated cost, leaving us feeling taken advantage of in our pursuit of exploration. Additionally, the unpleasant stench of rotten eggs permeated the air, emanating from both the drains and the bar area. This noxious odour made every moment in these spaces an ordeal, and it was nothing short of unbearable. Throughout our stay, we were regrettably privy to arguments and fights between couples, which cast a dark cloud over the overall atmosphere. The bar's petite size was a major drawback, as it resulted in an unrelenting level of noise during the evenings. The absence of proper sound insulation created an environment that was far from peaceful, making it impossible to unwind. This not only detracted from our relaxation but also left us with an unsettling feeling of discomfort. Perhaps the most concerning issue was the doubt surrounding the cleanliness of the hotel. Upon returning home, I was diagnosed with scabies, which could have only originated from my stay at Mare Boutique. Upon arrival at the hotel, the room looked immaculate. When I awoke in the morning, I noticed a stain on the bedding which suggested to me that the bedding was not clean. This has not only been physically and emotionally distressing but has also raised questions about the hotel's hygiene standards. In conclusion, Mare Boutique in Crete proved to be a series of disappointments and false promises. From the misrepresented food to the hidden costs, nasty odours, disruptive arguments, noise, and concerns about cleanliness, my stay was marred by a litany of issues that I would not wish upon any traveller. My only positive is that most of the staff were friendly and the close proximity to the beach a bonus. I implore potential guests to look elsewhere for accommodations in Crete, as Mare Boutique left me with a lasting impression of regret and discomfort.

Fabulous holiday!

We have had a fabulous stay at Mare Boutique Hotel. So much so, we have booked again for June 2024 (whilst still being here). Rooms are beautifully decorated, very clean and well designed. The service is exceptional from everyone at reception, housekeeping, restaurant and bar staff. Special mention to: Angela, Nikos, Hrissa, Andy (the best bar man EVER) and the beautiful manager Maria (we will be friends for life).

Top place

Just wanted to take a moment to compliment the service we received from Niko this morning. You guys were super busy and she was fantastic. Good location for us, quick walk across the road to an area of restaurants.

Boutique

First time in Crete and glad to find this little gem. We were in Room 207, which is on the floor of reception. The room is a fair size and is decorated very nicely with fridge and tea/coffee making facilities (mugs). They also supply slippers and shampoo/conditioner, body lotion, shower gel and a decent hairdryer! Pros: extremely clean, fresh towels everyday, staff very friendly and efficient, I mean all staff from reception, cleaners to the staff in the restaurant to Andreas in the bar. Choice of food. Quiet rooms. Snacks throughout the day Cons: only 2 bottles of water supplied on arrival ( in fridge), view ( as corner room v limited v of sea me being short!) the devision between the room 206 (balcony divider) was less than hip height and no privacy. Beach towels to be put on balcony or chairs to air as nowhere to hang. Food wasn’t hot even when freshly bought out or first in, thou microwave is supplied? Seats were uncomfortable by bar and not a lot of. Would be handy for late rooms to be booked day before but understand the not being guaranteed. Aircon led very bright! My suggestions especially as I booked AI is that the 2 small bottles of water be placed in fridge everyday, the seating by the bar could be made better in the evening if the beanbags went and you had stackable sunbeds during day and at night bought tables and chairs ( even chairs in restaurant were comfy) out so more people would sit at bar rather than in rooms! Supplying a microwave means you know you have an issue with the temperature of food… fix the hot plates to keep the food hot. Saying all this we would love to return so couldn’t of been that bad!
