Second vacation in Marilena Hotel. Last year, we  really enjoyed our staying there, but in 2025 we loved it. We were cherished as old friends coming back, missed after a whole year, and all greeted with hugs and open smiles. At the reception, our special thanks to Soula for her room gift (looking at the wonderful blue Cretan sea from our balcony,  lifted our spirit  every day); to Tasos ( we loved your welcoming gift on our room and are grateful for all the useful travel and restaurant informations ); to Dimitris ( we really enjoyed learning  about the origin of some Cretan family names). At the restaurant,  we were really happy to find our friends Eirini and Marina, always with a smile even when they looked very tired ; also some young and nice new faces, such as Georgia and Panos. We must say that we missed Manos in the restaurant, he was very special in its own shy way. The new restaurant responsible, Kristi, was very attentive and efficient and definitely saved my sour throat, even after working hours. Also a new face in guest relations, Milena (very attentive and nice) and a new restaurant responsible, Kristi, also attentive and efficient (saved my sour throat. We had Mariana both at the restaurant in the morning and at the pool bar, in the evening, making sure we were never thirsty and had great music there. Also, at the pool bar, our thanks to Atalanti and Eleni, always in a  great mood. Let's not forget our beautiful Marrocan cleaning lady, Jamilla, who always had a design treat (boats, tee-shirts, sunsets, animals, etc) waiting on our beds when we returned to our room. And to Dimitris, at the varanda bar, "oppa" till next year, dear friend. Last, but not least, our Eirini and Voula, from last year, sisters in working capabilities, politeness and sensitive souls. Special music (Marianna told us you had made it for us, Eirini ) and such good hugs....We had never been offered goodbye gifts from anyone ,  around any  of places in the world... Cretan people are really unique.!!! Be sure they still are being enjoyed and motive to talk about you gorgeous sisters. Our apologies to all the working staff whose names we were not able to get, and our tkanks to them all. Once again, Marilena Hotel's soul, its workers, filled our hearts and made us feel wanted there.Thank you, Mr. Stavros, for being so good on choosing the right persons to work in Marilena.  It wouln't be the same hotel without them all.It's a trully different and joyfull place to be.
