Eliros Mare Beachfront Poem Hotel

Eliros Mare Beachfront Poem Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Crete is full of hidden gems and The Eliros Mare is definitely one of them. We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at this hotel. We think it’s the perfect balance of not too small but not too big either. The service is wonderful and the staff genuinely care and do their very best. They are also very good at remembering your preferences such as where you like to sit. We are never usually a fan of buffets for evening dinner but this one we visited many times as it was excellent. A huge range of quality fresh food. The hotel also allowed you to swap dinner for lunch if you were half bored which was great. We enjoyed the flexibility. The breakfast was equally great and the lunch. There were lovely gardens with beautiful flowers around the hotel. The beach was exceptionally lovely with plenty of chairs and parasols and the bar nearby. It was a very peaceful place to relax. We didn’t use the pool but it looked lovely. I also had a wonderful Massage We enjoyed many evenings sitting on the terrace and the hotel is very well located to visit other areas. We highly recommend this wonderful hotel if you want rest and relaxation as well as some good days out in Crete. Thank you."

"Lovely room and pool. Location is very convenient as there are many shops and restaurants around the corner, as well as the beach. Room was spotless every day, fresh towels and sheets after each clean. Staff were very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back. The only con to this hotel is the hair dryer. If you have thick, low-porosity hair, it will not work. I’d suggest bringing your own."

"Our stay at Vertali was made truly special by the outstanding customer service. Every member of the team was warm, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our vacation memorable. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we felt cared for and appreciated. A very special thank you to Kiki, whose kindness, professionalism, and positive energy stood out every single day. She consistently went above and beyond and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another room number. I’d also like to recognize the incredible breakfast team. Their friendliness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Exceptional service is what transforms a great hotel into an unforgettable experience, and the team at Vertali did exactly that. Thank you for making our holiday so enjoyable. We will consider back again and create beautiful memories at Ventali."
