I arrived on a Saturday evening, told there was an electrical issue with my room and needed to move me to their sister hotel, 20 minute taxi ride away (& further away from chania), having looked at the map, & seeing how far it was, nothing much around it, I told them it wasn’t acceptable, that I had booked the hotel in October (staying June), and I booked that hotel due to the location on the main road and I could head out at night on my own and feel safe! They ‘found’ me a room, 312, which was at the top of the stairs, near the lift & over reception entrance so would hear all the noise, it wasn’t the room I booked, it was a basic room & I booked &
paid for deluxe, I came back to reception & they moved me to room 405, much better and the room I had booked, bigger and brighter!

So from having no rooms, to having 2 rooms!! I do feel as a solo traveller they thought they could do that to me!!

The hotel is nice, reviews about the food are a bit harsh, I’m a bad eater & always managed to eat, the serving dishes were small which meant they run out, but meant it was topped up regularly with fresh food, the flavours of the food were nice & good variety, negative was that it wasn’t always hot, so found myself eating quickly, could have done with a microwave like a lot of Spanish places do. Even if all inc, I recommend dinner at MISTOS across the road for sunset, but you need to book, great views, food and staff! Also Hugsy’s for an after dinner drink!

The staff was amazing. So helpful! Ana at the front desk and the manager, also Ana, were so nice. They were so helpful in giving us ideas for non-touristy adventures.
The food never disappointed. They would sometimes include a theme night, i.e. Mexican, Italian. The food was fresh and the dining area was clean.
Our room didn’t have the greatest view, but it was very quiet. We could never hear the people adjacent to or above us.
I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel itself is nice, the room was good. I stayed in two types, as on arrival my room in the main hotel (standard double) wasn’t ready. They put be in the beach wing for one night. The standard double was considerably nicer than the beach wing room. What really lets this place down is the food. Breakfast was fine as it’s standard continental, lunch was hit and miss but normally ok. But for dinner, There was only one night that I enjoyed the food. One night, the options looked so grim for dinner that I ended up going out to a restaurant instead. Very limited options, mostly looking unappetising. Also, you’re only supplied with a bottle of water on the first day. After this, you have to use cups from the bar even for your room. It’s a shame as the facilities itself are nice, but the food is not worth the cost of all inclusive.

1.CHEATED ABOUT THE MEALS HOURS
SO I LOST MY BREAKFAST AND THE REMAINING FOOD THEY OFFERED ME WAS A THIRD CLASS HOTEL BREAKFAST .THEY APOLOGIZED BUT AN APOLOGY IS FOR FREE .....AND UNFORTUNATELY MY BOOK WAS NOT FREE
2.CHEATED ALSO WAS THE NAME OF THE HOTEL.
I HAD A GREAT TIME AT SOLIMARE AQUAMARINE AT CHANIA TOO SO I EXPECTED SOMETHING LIKE THAT GREAT AND REAL TAXINOMY OF 5 STARS HOTEL ....
MAKING A BOOK TO A SAME NAME HOTEL IS QUITE MISLEADED...AND I THINK YOU HAVE AS EXPEDIA TRAVEL SERVICES A GREAT PART OF RESPONSIBILITY TO THIS MISLEADED...
3.MY INVOICE AMOUNT WAS ABOUT 50 EUROS LOWER OF THE AMOUNT THAT EXPEDIA CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD ....I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PRICE TO AVOID CONDITIONS LIKE THESE I REFERED ....SO I AM CURIOUS TO INFORM ME ABOUT THE WAY YOU ARE GOING TO REFUND ME FOR THE SERVICES YOU DIDNT OFFER ME AS I AM GOING TO INFORM A LARGE NUMBER OF FRIENDS OF MINE USING YOUR SERVICES IN USA AUSTRALIA AND GREECE

Amazing staff/Super clean/Great location!!

The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful from the second I got there. I was traveling alone and so their friendliness made my trip so much better me. I felt like I was among family!

The place was the cleanest - there was never a speck of dirt or sand anywhere.....ever.

Friendly, hotel close to beach & great restaurants

Our family of 4 enjoyed a 4 night stay at this hotel and were impressed by the friendly family who ran the hotel. They ensured your stay was enjoyable and answered several questions when required. I liked the fact their mattresses were comfortable and the rooms were clean and bright.
The hotel is very central and close to the beach and lots of fantastic restaurants. Although the hotel was full it never seemed too busy.

Friendly, clean and great location!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice pool area. Rooms are basic but clean. Beds were a bit hard but still OK. Its only 2 minutes walk to the beautiful beach in Agia Marina. Plenty of restaurants and small supermarkets in the area. Across the road from the hotel, at Mitsos taverna, we had the best of times during our holiday. Family run restaurant with very tasty food and a warm welcome. Its located almost on the beach. Buses to Chania at least once an hour. Busstop outside hotel and it only cost a couple of euros and took about 25 min. Walking distance to Platania. If we go back to Crete we would def. stay at Canea Mare again. Great value for money!

stay 25th-30th of September 2011

great staff, friendly and helpful, allowed us to move to an apartment room at no extra cost which had a great view from the patio- the only thing that counts against the hotel is the beds they are quite hard and not that comfortable, would be great if they upgraded them! don't miss Elafonissi island we hired a car to drive out there for the day for a small cost and it was magical! hotel is in a great location right next to the beach and good restaurants all around, our favourite was Tabepna restaurant (Pallirria) on the beach which has great food, good service and always something thrown in for free every time we ate there!

Good value for the money.

Just got back from Crete two days ago. Stayed at Canea Mare Hotel and Apartments. Good value for the money. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Not a huge resort hotel with entertainment every night, but that we already knew that we booked. Hotel was kept very clean and the rooms basic, as to be expected. But who spends a lot of time in the room anyway. We travelled with two children, so my husband and I had a separate bedroom and we therefor had two balconies. It wasn´t noisy at night. Our room was only two doors from the exit to the pool area. I found the bed slightly hard, but my husband thought it was perfect. Canea Mare was much closer to the Agia Marina beach than what I had thought. From the hotel you just crossed the Agias Marinas street, walked 5-10 meters( or yards), between small hotels, and there was the beach! Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Can recommend Mtsos Restaurant, also right across the Agia Marinas Street. Great food, family owned, teriffic service and lovely surroundings right by the beach. We had dinner there, four nights out of seven. And they didn´t have a pushy person by the entrance, trying to convince you to try their food. They didn´t have to. People kept coming back anyway. We rented a car for the week and the hotel has a parkingarea for six cars, on the side of the building. So that worked out well. They have computer in the gameroom, that you can use. You had to pay 1 Euro per 20 minutes, I think. I hope somebody finds this review helpful.

Mio marito ed io abbiamo prenotato le 2 settimane centrali di Agosto in questa struttura all inclusive. La vacanza non era partita al meglio perché appena arrivati ci è stato detto che purtroppo la nostra stanza presentava problemi di tubature e ci è stato proposto di alloggiare per 3 notti (il tempo per risolvere il guasto) presso un'altra struttura, il Solimar Acquamarine Resort, distante circa 5km dal Solimar Torquise e di categoria superiore, sempre all inclusive. Per farsi perdonare ci hanno riservato la suite con piscina privata e all'arrivo ci hanno fatto trovare in stanza un vassoio di dolcetti e vino. Trascorsi i 3 giorni siamo tornati al Solimar Torquise e per errore ci è stata data una camera standard mentre noi avevamo prenotato una junior suite. Appena abbiamo fatto notare l'errore allo staff, si sono subito prodigati per rimediare ed alla fine ci hanno fatto alloggiare in una delle suite fronte mare che era stupenda (scendendo le scale si era subito in spiaggia con ombrelloni e lettini che ci hanno anche offerto gratis). Abbiamo apprezzato molto la sollecitudine e gentilezza dello staff nell'intervenire prontamente per rendere perfetta la nostra vacanza. Per questo ringraziamo di cuore e salutiamo con affetto Anna ed Anastasia che hanno reso possibile tutto questo. Portiamo nel cuore questa vacanza e speriamo di tornare presto! Raccomandiamo a tutti il Solimar Torquise in quanto è una bella struttura, si mangia bene ed è situata fronte mare e con movida serale!

Zunächst wurden wir bei Ankunft, angeblich aufgrund von Problemen mit der Elektrizität, in ein anderes Hotel umgebucht - vom Adults Only Hotel zum Familienparadies, nicht gerade das, was wir ursprünglich gebucht hatten. Unser Zimmer war alt und abgewohnt, das Bad uralt und dreckig, die Putzfrau hat den Dreck von Links nach Rechts gewischt, die ältere Frühstücksdame war jeden Tag schlecht gelaunt, die Rezeptionsdame (mit dunklen Haaren) war unverschämt und hat lieber private Telefonate geführt. Einzig und allein der Mitarbeiter an der Poolbar und im Á-la-carte-Restaurant waren freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir hatten all-inclusive gebucht und bekamen aufgrund der Umbuchung all-inclusiv-“plus”. Das Essen war, egal zu welcher Tageszeit, unterirdisch! Alle Speisen kalt, keine Abwechslung, keine lokalen Speisen, die Rohkost hat nach Spritzmittel und der Feta nach 3 Tagen sauer geschmeckt. Vom Kaffee will ich gar nicht reden, den konnten wir uns beim Frühstück sparen und ab 10.30 Uhr lieber den echten Kaffee von der Poolbar holen. Die Snacks am Pool waren alle einzeln in Plastik verpackt, die Getränke an den Bars wurden mallorca-like in Plastikbechern serviert, es wurde aber mit Umweltbewusstsein im Hotel geworben... Ja die Getränke... Meine Lieblingsgetränke nach 9 Tagen Aufenthalt waren Eistee, Baileys und heiße Schokolade - alle anderen Getränke im all-inclusive-“plus” waren miserabel. Der Strandzugang war gut zu erreichen, aber ungepflegt und mit altem Mobiliar ausgestattet.

Savoir ce que l'on met dans la balance....

L’accueil est impeccable (et on vous parle aussi bien en français, anglais ou autre) et on vous explique en quelques mots comment s'organise la vie dans l'hôtel... Cependant la salle de bain est de loin la moins plaisante... Un WC qui se dandine lorsqu'on s'y assied, un rideau de douche \"aile de chauve souris\" qui vous embrasse et n'empêche pas l'eau de s'écouler partout dans la pièce sans être pour le moins évacuée et cela à cause d'un \"léger problème\" de dénivelé vers l'évacuation (agréable lorsqu'on y revient plus tard et que nos pieds baignent dans une eau tiède...).
A nuancer en fonction de la chambre réservée et de l'horaire de nettoyage (parfois un peu gênant) ainsi que de l’équipement (sommaire) de la partie cuisine (si vous optez pour le choix de l'appartement).
Vous avez une terrasse ou un balcon pour vous et un grand choix de boissons (le petit-déjeuner est à éviter car assez cher par rapport au \"buffet\" proposé).

De quoi distraire les plus jeunes à un prix tout à fait abordable.
