SOL by Meliá Marina Beach Crete

Room was old and outdated

Fabulous stay thank you, loved the buffet, all the pools and areas were spotless. Had a lovely time

Had an amazing holiday with the family here. Everyone is so helpful, friendly and always smiling. There are events throughout the day with entertainment and music. The food is absolutely delicious and that is coming from a picky eater. There seems to be everything for everyone, from gym, to pools, game room, mini golf and many others. I will strongly recommend

Stunning hotel, really friendly and accommodating staff which was lovely and a range of food/drink options included within the all inclusive stay that made it very luxurious and affordable.

Pros The hotel itself was very nice. We had a room for 4 (2 kids). We had our own terrace on 1st floor. This was an all inclusive hotel, i never do all inclusive but the food was good. Breakfast and lunch was very rich in number of choices. The drinks were typical "all inclusive" type, somewhat watered down, however, you can purchase cocktails for an additional fee. Lots of families and old couples as patrons. Cons The only disappointing thing was the beach (hotel does not own that, only services it). Huge waves almost constantly that precluded anyone for going in water above knees (lifeguard enforced). The beach is sandy but sand looks very muddy, not like the other beaches on Crete. Good thing is we had a car and we went exploring other beaches that are very close by. Those were better for us because they had food/drink service at the beach (one thing i enjoy tremendously in Greece).
