Samaria Hotel

Samaria Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great central location to downtown Xania. The staff though is what made it excellent. I wish I could list them all by name! If you go, engage the staff. They will give you recommendations for some unique experiences besides the beaches and souvenir stores. Thank you all! P.S. There is a killer hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop type of gyro stand across the street. They make them right, unlike the some of the attempts in the USA."

"Rooms were clean. Staff were nice- but super slow service during the day at the beach bar restaurant. The breakfast was good! Lots of variety of foods and they had a gluten free designated toaster and bread which was amazing for us. Amazing gluten free desserts and good juice variety! Grounds were well kept ! Bridge connecting two parts of the property had a nice view as well. We would recommend this resort."

8/10 Good
"The hotel catered for what you want. We came here thinking it was 5 star all inclusive but in fact it was more like a 4 star. You need to upgrade to get the branded alcohol, or water in bottles. It’s definitely geared towards alcohol. The food is good. There isn’t much to eat throughout the day in terms of snacks. Ice cream in tubs and homemade sandwiches. The pool is lovely and the views are fab. The vibe is nice. Hospitality is lovely and people enjoy themselves. The pool is the best part for me. Mr Marx at customer relations is fantastic. He is friendly, helpful and very personal. He takes an interest in you and remembers things you’ve spoken about and is really informative. All hotels should have someone like him. And he speaks 7 languages!!"
