We recently stayed at this 3-star hotel and, overall, everything was fine considering the category. The rooms were cleaned daily, and towels were changed every day, which we really appreciated. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The food was decent, especially in the evening when the variety and taste were quite good. However, lunch could use some improvement – it was often repetitive and lacked diversity. Also, the drinks included in the all-inclusive package weren’t very tasty, unfortunately.
One of the main issues we had was with insects. There were a lot of mosquitoes, especially in the evenings, and we really think mosquito nets would make a big difference. We also had quite a few ants on the balcony, and some of them managed to get into the room as well.
Another recommendation: it would be nice if pool access was free for hotel guests – especially since we paid for an all-inclusive experience.
All in all, it was a pleasant stay and we enjoyed our time there, but there’s definitely room for improvement in a few areas.

Hi! I booked a room for another night at Marirena Hotel. I want to thank Georgia, the lady at customer service and reception. She is the best! She has such a big heart, always welcoming, and you can truly feel that she does her job from the heart. A very professional lady, with humor and always kind. Thank you again, Georgia!

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Marirena! The rooms were clean and well-maintained, the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff showed great hospitality throughout our visit. The overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing—perfect for a restful vacation. Highly recommended!
I want to add that the negative reviews are not true!

The hotel Marirena in Ammoudara Crete is small and lovely. We felt like at home, like we were very welcomed guests at someone's home. Very friendly staff. Special thanks to Rena and Pela at the reception! We love you! You were so attentive to all our needs. You always answered our questions with politeness and patience. You took time to just talk to us about anything, though you were so busy with all other guests. We got sad news about our beloved dog from home, in the middle of our vacation, and you were so kind to console and comfort us with your heartfelt words... We really appreciated that! ♡ Cretan people are just awesome. We can never forget it... Greece and especially Crete captured our hearts! The hotel Marirena is clean; we got a spacious room with a balcony on the 1st floor and a safe box; our breakfasts and dinners were perfect, delicious. The kitchen staff delightened us with the European style of service and care. It was well-organised and heartful. We really have no words to describe how happy and satisfied we were there, after our hard work-year. The entrance is open 24 hrs with a guard. The seashore is just about 300 m from the hotel; a short walk along a beautiful and peaceful lane. You can choose to rent a seabed from Havana bar or Teatro bar, or take your free space on a clean sandy beach and enjoy the sea. Room service in Marirena hotel is great. Smile and say "Kalimera!" to the staff in the morning till 12 noon and get a warm reply; say "Yassas" at other time. Go to Heraklion and magnificent ancient Knossos - you will get advice from the hotel reception on how to get there. We really love Greece, we love Crete and the Cretan culture, and we had a perfect vacation at Marirena hotel. "Euharisto!", thank you Marirena from our hearts! We booked our 7-day tour with Tez Tour travel agency, we are from Northern Europe. We like exploring new places, but Crete in Heraklion at Marirena hotel is the place to come back and feel happy. Thank you!!

The hotel is near the beaches. The personal was kind, helpful (except the daytime female barista). There is 2 people who I want to mention who we liked very much: the short haired blond receptionist and the hotels barman (he tended the bar at night).
The rooms were ok, they looked like in the pictures, they cleaned the rooms everyday. The food was ok, there wasn’t a big selection but we didn’t stay hungry. The lunch was not in the hotels tavern, as we first read in the offer. If we had eaten in the Tavern we would have had to pay.
I don’t think that it is worth the all inclusive. We could have paid just for breakfast and dinner and the lunch we could have had in the tavern and we could have had acces to the pool at the pool-bar next door. We, who had all inclusive (we had blue bracelets), had a little bar next to the pool just for our use but we saw many people who didn’t had blue bracelet took food and drinks.
The hotels pools were cleaned and tended every morning, the only think bothered us were the kids who came from the pool-bar next door, without adult supervision, and were jumping in the pool and were playing with water guns and sprinkled us too and because of them we couldn’t use the pool in peace.

The location is excellent — very close to the beach, which was a big plus for us. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was a bit tucked away, so it felt a little dark and confined. It was clean overall, but we did notice a few bugs during our stay :)

The small, comfortable Marirena Hotel is conveniently located in the lively holiday resort of Ammoudara, 4 km west of Heraklion and only 100 metres from the beautiful and seemingly endless sandy beach. The hotel offers a variety of services and amenities including a restaurant with Cretan and Mediterranean dishes, prepared with self-produced olive oil. In the hotel's vicinity, guests will find numerous shops and entertainment venues such as a multiplex. Heraklion with its picturesque old town and the world-famous Palace of Knossos can be reached within a short drive.
