Mare Boutique

Firstly I'd like to say a huge thank you for a wonderful holiday. The location is a little slice of heaven, it was so nice being able to see the sea, and be walking distance from the lovely georgioupolis town and square. There is a very small patch of beautiful sandy beach right outside, that looks a bit rocky in the sea, but when the sea was calm it was our favourite spot. There were lots of fish to see and soft sand underfoot as you went in, you could swim out deeper easily. On the windy day when the waves were choppy, we had to swim at the mare suites beach (because of the rocks). This was freely accessible, many more sunbeds but the beach is more pebbly. All round great location for a beach break. The pool is more a plunge pool, but lovely atmosphere all round, was always somewhere to sit, the included drinks were nice, when i wanted something fancier it wasn't expensive. It's not somewhere for entertainment, it was relaxed ideal for peaceful couples holiday. The staff were all great, the reps, receptionist, bar tenders and restaurant staff were all incredibly nice and welcoming. As others have said the food is OK. At the start of the holiday, there were fresh vine leaves, fresh fruit salad, baklava and other really delicious treats, this was missing later in the week. But we always found something , including vegetarian, to eat at the hotel. We ate out a few times, so we could have some typical cretan dishes we really wanted to try, and some gyros, these were missing from the hotel. The hotel was lovely, but just not quite what I think of as 4 star. It is hard to explain but it didn't quite have that polish, just a bit rough round the edges. The room was only deep cleaned before our arrival, and the same shampoo splashes from the first day remained on the wall our whole holiday. Every day they forgot to top up the tea and milk. Room facilities were OK, very dated TV, and a broken reading light were a bit annoying. My only real complaint is about it not being truly all inclusive, water was only available in the bar in 200ml glasses. The mini fridge was not topped up with extra water. I was having to go to the supermarket frequently to buy 2 litre bottles for the fridge in our room. Luckily we were just round the corner from a friendly and affordable supermarket. If we had been in a resort type location it would have been impossible. They really need to fix this. Not a problem with the hotel, but a heads up if looking to book. The accessibility is terrible, I would not recommend to elderly relatives. No way to access the restaurant without stairs. Thank you again for a lovely break, we all round feel we got good value for money.

It was our second stay at Mare boutique and we really love this place. All staff was super kind always smiling, patient in all situations. Internet was pretty fast this year definitely a good improvement. Food so tasty too. Thank you all guys for the great time we had and can’t wait till next year

This is a charming hotel which was kept spotlessly clean and was located on the beach. Andreas, the bar man was excellent and we had several evenings sat at the bar with other residents. The main disappointment was the food, which was cold. They supplied a microwave so you could warm it up. This was a real shame.
