Galini Mare

The hotel was one of my best experiences in my life. Harris and Helena are great hosts. Come as a guest, go as a friend. Thank you so much for the days in your hotel. Relax and well feeling ***** more than 5 stars. I’m sure, I come back and maybe my retirement would be in crete.

Galini mare is a little gem, nestled in a small paradise. (We've spendt more than 10 days in the structure) Closed (3 min. by feet) to a wonderful beach fully equipped at the cheapest price possible (5€ all day with 2 sunbeds). The owner, Haris & Eleni, will welcome you and support all the time with precious tips and advice about Agia Galini and Crete island. The style aim straight to the point: simple, frendly and welcoming as the rest of Agia Galini. The outside present also a beautiful garden, the chamber are clean, full air condictioned and, our for sure, have a great views on the sea from a terrace. Highly recommended!

If you like a small charming hotel, perfect located and a very friendly owner, don't look further. Ok, there is a need of painting somewere. The bathroom could use a retrofit. But all you have in the place is much more; stressless, quit place. And the tips to visit the area is for sure an added value.

Very good location, close to beach and Port. Stunning view from our room. Delicious breakfast with a good selection to choose from. Very helpful staff. Friendly greeting on arrival and given information regarding location.

We stayed at Galini Mare last week, whilst I can confirm the hosts are friendly, and the location and view from a balconied room was spectacular, I feel the hotel pictures and descriptions are no longer a true representation of what greets you . We stayed in one of the balconied rooms that overlooks the yes amazing view as depicted on the photo. But sadly the hotel needs some maintenance to bring to its former glory. As a cautionary note, I would recommend fellow travellers to look at the size of the rooms to see if fit for purpose the rooms with Balcony are tiny, and the bathroom is also tiny with an open shower which is not practical and leads to everywhere getting wet and no where to store toiletries . It is also worth mentioning that the balconies (apart from one) are intimately close to the neighbour. (This might be an issue for non smokers staying next to smokers, or simply wanting some privacy. The positives; accommodating friendly hosts, clean room, comfortable bed, good aircon, free parking close by, good location to beach and the pretty town centre which has some good restaurants and bars. We fully appreciate that times have been tough for many hoteliers but sadly I cannot rate our stay higher as we did not feel it offered good value for money in its current state and the impracticality of the room to ensure a comfortable stay.
