The luxurious complex is located along the sandy beach against the backdrop of the indescribable beauty of natural landscapes. The hotel complex is built in the style of a traditional Cretan village. An ideal place for any type of holiday. Built in 1975, cosmetic repairs are carried out annually. The last renovation was carried out in 2017-2018 (repair of rooms in the Terra Building, Almyra and Estia restaurants). The hotel consists of the main Maris Building, an additional Terra Building located in the upper part of the resort (250 m from the beach) and a bungalow complex. Limenas Hersonissou (Center) is a great choice for travelers interested in bars, nightlife and the seaside.More →

The city center is 5-10 minutes from the hotel, where you can find many shops, taverns and bars. In the evening, the city comes alive and it's time to take a walk along the city's embankment…
We lived in bungalows, we really like this type of accommodation, because they are away from the main building and resemble a separate Cretan village with white houses entwined with pink bougainvilleas.
The room is spacious, clean and with a lovely partial sea view. The room is cleaned every day, no complaints.
But most of all we were once again impressed by the sea. The water temperature in early July was 27-28 degrees, we swam for several hours without leaving the water. The beach is sandy, one of the best on the coast. Umbrella, sun loungers - free of charge. We had beach towels in the room upon arrival, and then they had to be changed at a certain time at the counter near the pool.
Food. . . there is probably nothing tastier than Greek food. The main restaurant has dishes for all tastes. We enjoyed breakfast with amazing Greek yogurt with fruits and nuts and dinner with Greek salad and different types of fish offered at the restaurant. In addition, there has always been a huge number of meat dishes: chicken, pork, lamb, duck, various side dishes and snacks. A separate table with sweets, cakes and various pastries.
Every day the hotel has a different animation. In the daytime, aqua aerobics, volleyball and football competitions were held in the main pool. And in the evening, once, we got on a live broadcast of the sunset from about. Santorini and after that decided that we really want to see this island with our own eyes. We met with our hotel guide and bought an excursion to Santorini with an air flight. I can say with confidence that this is an island of indescribable beauty with beautiful views of the caldera and the sea. We were impressed. Would like to go back there again.

A hotel with a large area and a wide sandy beach. The hotel is built in the style of a Cretan village: the main building and bungalows, to which the streets lead. The hotel offers different types of accommodation. The Cretan style bungalow rooms are a combination of comfort and simplicity. The hotel is quite active, but at the same time there is an opportunity to retire and relax. … More ▾ A hotel with a large area and a wide sandy beach.

Very pleased with the sea !! ! Of the shortcomings, only animation. I would like to see something national. And for those who are going to go to Santorini, I recommend either going for 2 days or not going at all. The most amazing thing about this trip is the island at sunset, and on a 1-day trip you you won’t see him. Have a good rest everyone!

The first thing that alerted me immediately upon arrival was that breakfast was not included on the first day (I traveled all over Europe, I encounter such a strange system for the first time). They tried to check into a room in a building on the first floor overlooking the road and the parking lot, after we politely refused - they settled in a bungalow with the smell of old age and dampness. … More ▾ The first thing that alerted me immediately upon arrival was that breakfast was not included on the first day (I traveled all over Europe, I encounter such a strange system for the first time). They tried to check into a room in a building on the first floor overlooking the road and the parking lot, after we politely refused - they settled in a bungalow with the smell of old age and dampness. Not only the interior of the bungalow, but also the reception and other rooms of the hotel are aged, shabby and out of order in places. Cleaning was carried out with high quality only for the first couple of days, but apparently, due to the fact that we did not leave a tip, they stopped changing towels for us if we did not throw them on the floor, did not replenish the set of tea, coffee, soap, shampoo shower gels, could don't even wash the floor. The hair dryer in the room worked only when the button was pressed and held, turned off as soon as it warmed up, then turned on only after it had completely cooled down. The food in the restaurant is poor, monotonous and tasteless. Everything is over-salted, with unnaturally pink mayonnaise. Every day the same set of dishes: spaghetti with carbonarra sauce, salty snacks and salads, dry, juicy vegetables and fruits, questionable fish, meat resembling shoe soles. Only the color of the pudding and jelly changed. Thank God that we only had breakfasts and dinners, I would not have survived such dinners, because. the last 3 days due to rolling nausea at the sight of this food, they did not appear in the restaurant.
WI-FI works only at the hotel reception and then with big interruptions.
if you are going on an excursion, then warn that you need a lunch box in the morning for the day, because we came on the eve of the tour in the evening and we were informed that at 7 pm they close the booking system, which no one warned us about.
Animation and any hint of entertainment in the hotel is missing.
In addition to everything, the crisis in the country is very felt - the prices are too high compared to other European countries, at every corner they try to cheat you for money. The hotel is absolutely not worth the money paid for it.

To begin with, this is my first review, despite the fact that we travel very often (with an interval of 2-3 months), but everything was always good, and when it’s good, I don’t see writing a five hundredth review on how great it was for us sense, here the situation is completely different, positive reviews about this hotel misled us, I hope my review will help other people make their choice. … More ▾ To begin with, this is my first review, despite the fact that we travel very often (with an interval of 2-3 months), but everything was always good, and when it’s good, I don’t see writing a five hundredth review on how great it was for us sense, here the situation is completely different, positive reviews about this hotel misled us, I hope my review will help other people make their choice. The hotel is not that terrible, but it is 3-4 stars maximum! five there and does not smell! And for such a cuisine, even in Turkey, they don’t give more than 4....
I'll start right away with the cons, because there are many times more pros
1. Room / building: they gave a room with the main building on the 4th floor, large, with a sea view. with a large terrace. A nice big bathroom with a shower with rolled up doors (well, they didn’t close) and while swimming, a huge puddle of water poured out from under the cabin, which stood around the clock. those. the floor in the bathroom was permanently in the water.
There were 3 floor levels in the room, you enter the room - an entrance hall, go up 2 steps, another hallway from which you enter the bathroom and to get into the bedroom you had to go down the stairs, I mean that if you are at night without turning on the light , decide to go to the toilet, you risk twisting your neck and breaking your legs, and given the puddles on the floor, the likelihood increases. Bed linen is fresh, changed every other day, towels every day, but God forbid you look under the sheet, look at the mattress, he is older than my grandfather (see pictures).
And by the way, all the floors in the corridors are covered with carpets! on the third day we woke up at 7 am from the noise of a washing vacuum cleaner under the door, they decided to wash the carpets, the stench of damp dirty rugs stood for 3 days! overcame the distance along the corridor from the elevator to the room holding their breath.
There were 2 elevators, but only one of them went to the 4th floor, the second only to the 3rd, but the first one was broken 50% of the time, when we were there in the evening people got stuck and the elevator operator ran around the floors looking for them)
I won’t write about the peeling tiles on the floor in the room and in some rooms of the hotel, from the Brezhnev era, after all, the hotel is 45 years old, you can forgive them for this trifle)
2. Food: ooooh! this is a different song!!!! ! If you are a lover of variety and frills, then you are in the wrong hotel!
Have you ever seen scrambled eggs for breakfast already on trays, ready, cooled, weathered? I saw such a miracle in Creta Maris, it was impossible to eat these insoles! Dinners - every day garnish was pasta/spaghetti and french fries. Meat baked in the oven (such as boiled pork) or pork (very fatty) or lamb (I don’t eat it at all because of the specific smell, well, here it tastes and color). some kind of indistinct fish drenched in a creamy sauce, or something fried, the smell of fried herring! cutlets, in Russia we make such cutlets in factory canteens from semi-finished products, they didn’t even lie next to meat! Well, basically chicken with three different sauces, we cackled on the 3rd day. The most important thing is that there are only two islands with food and they are small, there is a queue for each dish, the crowd around these counters is unreal! everyone is crowding around, slamming plates of food at you. Grill lovers - I will please you - it is not there! no meat, no fish! the entire restaurant is covered, there is no outdoor area. the stench of fish roasting and burning there is unreal! Fruits: nectarines/peaches the size of Russian plums, the texture is like a carrot but the sweetness is even worse! plums are also small and oak! two types of watermelon: sluggish-beaten, or green-crispy, melons are similar to our pumpkins - no color, no taste, no smell! sliced ​ ​ oranges for breakfast, that's all! there are no more fruits there! ) Vegetables - green crispy tomatoes and sluggish cucumbers. True, I will pay tribute - very tasty bread! baked fresh for dinner, it was still hot! Now about the food system - 99% of the hotel residents with AI bracelets, like us with half board (breakfast, dinner) are very few! At breakfast, all drinks are available to you: as everywhere and always - invite-type powdered juices, tea bags, instant coffee from the machine. But for dinner, only water is already free, tea costs 2.5 euros (!!! ), but it looks like boiling water in a cup, stinking of bleach, and next to it is a bag with a finely chopped broom instead of tea, nothing to do with black tea to taste it has no swipes. The last straw was the found piece of a plastic bag in boiled rice, they called the waitress, we show him the find, and she declares to us in a blue eye - and yu shyur ??? ? no, damn it, we are not sure, we ourselves brought it with us and mixed it into rice! then she shrugged her shoulders and silently took away the plate, throwing its contents into the trash, and went about her business further, starently ignoring our table. We decided not to go to the manager, not to make a fuss, so as not to spoil our vacation completely. In general, on the third day we decided that we would no longer eat at the hotel! Well, in such a diet there is also a plus - in two weeks you will lose weight, build up!
3. Pools/sunbeds: at the time of our stay there were 1700 people in the hotel, in August there will be 2000. but even now, with the declared 7 pools (they counted both indoor and paddling pools for children), swimming in them was more like herring in a barrel! there are a third less sunbeds than there are people in the hotel! in the mornings, a bloodbath unfolded for sunbeds by the pools. On the first two days, having gone out to the pool by 9 am and not finding anything free, on the third I decided to get up early and take a seat. At 6 in the morning I went to the pool, I had 6 places left to choose from..... exactly 15-20 minutes later there were none. Attention to the question - are there among you lovers on your vacation to get up at 6 in the morning and jog with towels to the sunbeds? a few days later, queues of scandalous people began to line up at the reception in all languages ​ ​ of the world, that they had nowhere to lie down to sunbathe, the hotel administration did not find another solution to the problem, how to scatter leaflets in 5 languages ​ ​ around all the rooms that it was forbidden to book sunbeds! in the end, nothing has changed, there are really much fewer sunbeds than people! I can’t imagine what will happen in August, when there will be more people! in the end, the people were lying on the lawns right on the towels, and this is 5 stars??? ? (photo attached)
4. No animation. but for us this is insignificant, so I won’t write in detail, there is, okay!
5. The beach is not bad, there are good entries without stones underfoot.
In general, the vacation was a success, only due to the fact that we rented a car for a week, left this horror early in the morning, and returned late in the evening, looked at the whole island, traveled all the sightseeing places on our own, very interesting! there are stunning views on the roads, many parking places on the highway you can stop to take pictures. The roads are great! be careful, there are a lot of police on the roads and even more speed cameras! And the fines are very hefty!
I will gladly answer any questions and objections.

I went there with some apprehension, because I read other people's reviews - some extremely negative. And here's what I'll say - do not trust anyone and drive calmly. We made sure ourselves.

We rented a car - we traveled all over the city - joy and unearthly views! I also recommend sailing to Santorini - the architecture is amazing. Near the hotel, 100 meters away, the sea is clean, the entry was found without stones immediately. We went with Pegasus and thanks to him for recommending this hotel! Everyone was satisfied!

The hotel, though old, but clean, decorated in the Greek style, a lot of flowers. The hotel has an excellent beach, due to natural conditions, not every hotel has one. The animation is very pleased, not intrusive, but fun. Lots of people with kids. The food is excellent. They took breakfast and dinner, but a lot of drinks in bars were given just like that, not counting, despite the fact that without a bracelet. … More ▾ The hotel, though old, but clean, decorated in the Greek style, a lot of flowers.

The hotel is really good and built a very long time, corresponds to the Cretan style. We lived with my husband and a child of 8 years old in a bungalow and we liked it very much, because we had our own terrace where you could relax in the evening and drink Cretan wine. The beach is wonderful, with sun loungers there were no problems. … More ▾ The hotel is really good and built a very long time, corresponds to the Cretan style.

Santorini and were very impressed, they also took a car for two days and rode around Crete, it’s worth taking a car because you can see unforgettable landscapes, swim in turquoise bays and eat delicious octopuses !! ! I didn’t like our guide Svetlana (tour operator Milenium) in the hotel, not a young lady, she thinks that tourists owe her. We rented a car through her, as there were the most favorable conditions (full hull) and the price was fine, but the car was delayed for half a day. When we tried to solve this problem with her, our guide simply brushed us aside, and she took the money for the service. We independently contacted the rental agency through the hotel and, as a token of apology, they gave us a car for a symbolic price on the second day. And the guide Svetlana simply did not answer calls and SMS (Svetlana's Millennium Service...
Go to this hotel you won't regret it! wonderful atmosphere, in the evening there was live music, a girl with an unforgettable voice sang on the seashore. Also a big plus of the hotel is the location near the village, you can walk. Have a nice vacation!! !

Hi all! I will share my impressions about the rest, I went with a friend to the Creta Maris 5 * hotel (Hersonissos). We rested there from May 27 to June 5.2011. The hotel exceeded all expectations, we lived in a bungalow by the sea. Both are delighted: the rooms are clean (daily cleaning), there is a tea and coffee set, a shower in the bathroom, a hairdryer, we had bathrobes and slippers (but they are only in suites and bungalows by the sea). … More ▾ Hi all!

The staff is wonderful: attentive, solve all questions; ))
The cuisine is amazing: international, Italian, Greek, I really liked that there were seafood. We visited the hammam, SPA, massage, there is a separate beauty salon and a fitness center.
We went on excursions: the Palace of Knossos (be sure to visit), were at the Cretan evening, the animation in the hotel is excellent (disco, live music).
holiday was a success!

I liked the hotel, but there are a lot of shortcomings. This hotel is not for families with children, there is nothing for them. (no swings, no slides, no animation, no children's disco, ice water pool and that's it). There are about 100 bungalows on the territory around. There are no animations at all (no discos, no evening shows) for 2 weeks we have not seen a single animator. … More ▾ I liked the hotel, but there are a lot of shortcomings.
