Just returned from a fabulous vacation in Crete. I chose Gouves Mare Hotel after reading numerous reviews here and was not disappointed. We arrived at 9 a.m., our room was ready and we were even offered a late breakfast. Our room was quite large with cathedral ceiling and sea view, spotless. The hotel was half empty since the season was... More

We stayed one week at Gouves Mare from 15th to 22 Sept 2011. We had a package with Thos Cook. We are aged 71 and 73. We chose GM largely due to the excellent reports we read here and were not dissappointed although there are some issues to be aware of. Mainly that Gouves is a very very quiet place... More

Stayed here for 5 nights in Sept 2011. Great location, a short walk from the nearest bars and restaurants, and about 10mins to the resort centre. The hotel is lovely, fantastic pool area and nice buildings. Staff are really helpful. The resort doesn't have much going on, so best for a relaxing holiday. The restaurant menus aren't very exciting -... More

The staff are attentive but not intrusive, the pools are exceptionally clean as are the rooms and public areas, nothing is too much trouble for any... More

We were planning a vacation in Crete, and at the last minute my husband had emergency arthroscopic knee surgery for a torn meniscus. The plans for a hotel in downtown Iraklion suddenly seemed very illogical and we decided to change to a beachfront property on the outskirts of Iraklion. With the help of our friends, we researched the area hotels... More

We returned to Gouves Mare in September 2010 following a fantastic holiday there in May 2010. The staff once again were amazing, they remembered us and treated us like royalty! Mariana, the owner, as ever was lovely and couldn't do enough for us. The food was as gorgeous as ever and Viki at the bar kept us entertained with her... More
