Azure Mare Hotel

The only two positives were the location and the view, but there are many better alternatives in Crete. So, my advice: skip this place.

The hotel is very basic. We booked a 21 sq. meter sea view room and arrived at 1:30 AM, only to be given a TINY room (barley 14 sq. meters). They did change it the next morning to the one we originally booked, but why play games?On top of that, for 1.5 days we only had cold water – not even lukewarm. Having hot water for a shower is the bare minimum!

Location

The night club beach club playing music to the early morning 5am

The staff was really friendly and willing to help. The room, bathroom and balcony were all perfectly clean. The location was perfect considering it was a minute away from hersonissos most known locations, bars, restaurants etc

The location is perfect! Close to everything.

The room was dirty, they don’t change towels everyday, everyday, the air conditioner wasn’t good, the bathroom was so small…. The lights were awful… at the end it was disappointing!

do not deceive people who have paid for a room with a sea view, deceivers and liars

from the window you can always hear the music from the disco, until 6 in the morning, on the first floor it stinks of a public toilet, shabby pool

Great location by day but not so good if you don’t want to party till 6am.

Very noisy at night, all night

Everyone that work in the hotel was so nice people! Good breakfast, perfect location.

Location

No cosmetics, hair dryer

Location was good

The beds was awful from seventies and the bathroom was disappointing and small and dirty walls

Nothing, so dirty, staff, extremely unfriendly, i cant even believe it is 1 star Not even a shampoo in the room, toilet is super dirty, i even choose the expensive room

Nothing at all, a peace of metal beside the bed, u will woke up bleeding ?But on the internet they show smt totally different

central and cheap

a bit loud, breakfast not really good, no luxury really only a bed and a toilet

..This was a 11 night stay with my son and daughter to celebrate my 70th birthday.The hotel is a modern "minimalist" beach front hotel on the Front of Hersonissos Beach with beautiful views around the bay.I think that the climate is amongst the best in theMed...Crete is stunningly beautiful...There was no humidity as I have experienced in for say in Cyprus..The Hotel is on the North coast so faces open sea and hence the rollers crashing onto the beach...nothing to the north except the Greek Mainland...about an hour flight away...Crete stands grandly on its own as the largest greekIsland in the Agean and is not part of any group of islands as for example the Cyclades...i.e Santorini being the nearest with even an expensive Day tripVia 2 hour Sea Jet and Guided Tour on the islandComing to about £165 per person....The Capital Heraklion and the Airport is about 30 Mins away.Heraklion is,a must as for Knossos Palace andThe gorgeous Archiological Museum..Highly recommended is also day tour including boat crossing to Spinalonga island....and the beautifulElounda and nearby Aghios Nicholoas....taking in beautiful valleys an gorges...Striking!The South of Crete borders the Libyan sea and thereIs nothing to the south than North Africa...it is apparently hotter down there....We covered the East coast....But did not touch the West Coast and Rethymno ..Chania etc which I think may have calmer seas and bathing .There is a semi pedestrianised walkway which has cars vans buggies bicycles competing with at busy times crowds of holiday makers so u have to have your wits about you.The beach is a fairly narrow strand of darkish sand but beware as u enter the sea there are rocks etc and the waves come rolling in with some force...I would say u need to be a strong and confident swimmer...small children need to be very carefully watched over.

.. ...Basically the hotel could be Paradise but for my needs and party age group it was in the totally wrong resort for us..Hersonissos Beach Town is really a youngsters resort..i suppose like Malia nearby.The hotel is next door to Paradise Beach which is an open air nightclub..7 days a week !!!and very loud...to add to that 2 restaurants direcly front of the hotel ..NO CONNECTION .compete with their own Sound Systems.are Horrendous...instantly Paradise Lost.What saved the holiday in this connection is that there is Old Hersonissos Village up the hill and we would escape up there most evenings and more greek island authentic.We were on Half Board..the Breakfasts are very good and you will always find enough to eat.The evening meal was OK....there was always fish and meat etc..but becomes too repetitive....Anyway all good otherwise but unless u love to party every single night be warned its noisy...Not the hotel's fault but there is where it finds itself.Lovely lovely people.Andrew Loizou

Location and staff is good, especially the girl who serves the breakfast and cleaning lady.

The AC is not included in price, so they charge 5€ per day, and you have to go down for ask for AC remote.Hair dryer is not in the room, so you have to ask for it.Safety box didnt work in our room.The room is not like on pictures (sea view room).

Staff are super friendly specially the lady at the breakfast

The noise coming from the bar next door , I couldn't sleep almost whole my staying as they used to close around 5 am .the other interesting point that I asked for A/C in the room they charged me 5 Euro/night to get the remote for A/C

The rooms seam unfinished, especially the shower.Noise from the party zone
