Myrtos Mare Suites

Upon arrival Artur was there to greet us, assist with our luggage and advice to park the car in an area where it wouldn’t be ticketed. The Family Maisonette is as we expected. Split level, a small kitchen (stove and frig) along with coffee machine, toaster and hot water device. Basically all the comforts of home. Located a few steps from the beach and restaurants, Myrtos Mare was about as ideally situated as it gets. If you‘re looking for a comfortable, affordable, modern place to relax, look no further.

We are gracious guests but expect to get the room you actually book. Warning to others- I since found out that Airbnb WILL help you if, like us, you are not given the room you book -so please contact Airbnb do not just accept partial refunds and sub standard accommodation. Truly Gutted- I had diligently cross checked, via messaging, several times before visiting that we were booking the actual seafront balcony rooms, and was assured it was -however, as others have mentioned in previous reviews, we were not given that room. This is exactly what they told me back in April when I checked and booked : "HotelPraxis 05:30 “Hi Vicky, Thank you for your enquiry and your interest in our maisonette. This is a seafront room - yes. No, this is on the first line literally just in front of the beach.”..and yet despite that reply it was most certainly not :( My intention for the holiday was to sit on the balcony -not to have to wander around in the killer heat (forest fires elsewhere!) or stare at a white wall (the view of the backline room). We were given a different room, not the seafront balcony as advertised. Another couple who were, as they admitted, staying longer than we were, got those seafront rooms! Not only was there no time, after struggling through a long car trip, in 40 degrees heat, in a tiny village, but how could we be expected to seek alternative accommodation at that short notice? To be expected to do so is outrageous. So, very much under duress and put on the spot, whilst melting, we agreed to a small refund of the difference between the room we SHOULD have been given, and the backline room we were actually given - but did NOT request a full refund AT ANY TIME, I think they have misread or misinterpreted my messages. As we left a night early to an actual seafront place (look up Gre Ligia, it's not far) but did not ask for the money back, simply dutifully notified we had left, and why. Can you imagine the sinking feeling in the stomach seeing the other couple on that balcony, and even most of the time NOT using the balcony. Gutting. Lisa was good, as the aircon was not working (we daren’t mention it on the first night, given the fuss and attitude of the owner, but were dying in the heat by night 2) so let her know that afternoon and it was mended by 9pm that night – thankyou Lisa for being the go between.

We booked 2 nights at Myrtos Mare suites having seen what a great location they have on a previous visit to this lovely village. The studio we had booked was very small but had everything we could wish for, even a table and chairs outside, and only steps from the beach. The owner, Artur, is extremely helpful, and recommended a restaurant that we visited on both nights as it was so good. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again but would opt for a bigger unit next time.

Outstanding!! An apartment right on the front of the beach, exceptionally clean and everything that you could think you would need has been thought about and included in the price of your stay, complimentary within the room. From washing up liquid, water, shampoo, coffee and tea, fruit, iron, tv, wifi, electric shutters… the list goes on. We were even given a bottle of dry white wine. Lisa greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. She was around most of the days and would always ask if there is anything we needed. She also left her contact WhatsApp/ Viber number incase we needed her if she wasn’t around. We are still here now and absolutely can’t recommend this place to stay enough. Excellent value and location. Highly, highly recommend.

This property provided first class accommodation in every aspect. The location was unbeatable, we were lucky to have booked the upper floor unit facing the beach. What a treat to wake up, step out onto the balcony and view the Med about 10 m away. The facility was well equipped with a king size bed on the mezzanine above and if needed a pull out one below. The property manager was most helpful and friendly, always available to provide valued assistant. We will definitely return next year. Note This property was booked through *********** in 2019, but due to Covid we were unable to visit until June 2022, and thus able to leave a review on the *********** website. If possible please transfer this to the accordingly Thanks Lawrence J Pontefract

I had a wonderful 6-night stay at Myrtos Mare suites. The units are wonderfully positioned close to the seaside, resulting in soothing sounds from the sea at night. In addition, the restaurants and bars of the boulevard are just around the corner without being overly loud. The units are modern and clean and equipped with anything you need for a short stay. Arthur was a great host and checked in frequently whether I needed something throughout my stay. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a clean and comfortable way to get an authentic experience whilst exploring the south coast of Crete.
