We had an amazing week at the resort. The room was spacious and had a large private swimming pool, which added a touch of luxury to our stay. The staff went above and beyond, especially in the little shop where they were incredibly accommodating. The food variety was outstanding, catering to both adults and kids, and made dining a delightful experience. However, there were minor maintenance issues with the room door that need addressing, and the bathroom could use an update.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of luxurious experiences and some disappointments. The private suite with the pool was a highlight, and the area was quite serene. However, I faced issues with the value of the dining options and room assignments, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience. It felt like a great value for some amenities, but the food variety and service clarity could use improvement.

Rooms

The junior suite was spacious and modern, but the air conditioning was ineffective during my stay in October. I was expecting a better view instead of overlooking a scrubland area.

The hotel is located a bit away from main attractions, approximately 2 km from Platanias, but there's a bus stop right outside that made getting around more manageable.
Dining

While breakfast was decent, the overall variety of food during our stay felt repetitive, which was disappointing compared to expectations for a 5-star hotel.

Facilities included a lovely main pool area that was well-maintained, but the beach was less appealing with dirty sunbeds. There were limited entertainment options which could be better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The spacious suite was a highlight, featuring a large terrace and a decent private pool, but the overall feel was more three-star than five. The food was good, with nice local variety, but service issues and an overcrowded main pool detracted from the experience. Due to the lack of nearby activities, a car is definitely recommended for exploring the area.

The hotel grounds were expansive and green, but the main pool was smaller than expected and got busy when the hotel was full.

Overall, I had a lovely stay at the Solimar Aquamarine in Crete. The hotel has exceptionally friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere, making it a pleasant place to relax. Although the dining options, particularly in the a la carte restaurant, left something to be desired, the buffet meals were generally good. The location is slightly isolated, which might not suit everyone, but it allows for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle.

However, we encountered issues with room preferences and some cleanliness concerns, particularly with our personal pool.
