Pela Maria Hotel

Do not go there, for your own health if nothing else,
the hotel is crawling with a cockroach and ant infestation, the pool is never cleaned, and you have about 6cm between the beds in the room.
If you have room to walk about, you have done well, the food when I went was grey slodge, and having asked what type of meat it was, and being told ''I dont know'', by the chef himself, we stuck to leaving it well alone, until they finally had a day they knew it was lamb, and my mother ended up with food poisoning because of their poor cooking skills. They also have alot of damp about and Cockroaches in the cooking and eating area, and once there was one in the food..
Even if youve booked I strongly reccomend calling your travel agent, and asking them to transfer your hotel, you are treated like a stray begging for food, and the owners act as though they own the island. (this is not just my opinion but also the opinion of some shop owners in Crete, that have had to live with them.)
Its loud, small, dirty, crawling with incests, and the staff treat you like something on there shoes, except the barman, he was the only nice person there, and sadly last year, said he was thinking of leaving, and I dont blame him, I really dont reccommend it.
P.S. All inclusive is not all inclusive, if your 10mins late regardless of if the foods still there, they wont let you in, its 3 meals a day, constantly the same, and the drinks are a range of four or so.
-Also if you do go dont use the pool, its nasty, and has the power to give you a bad ear infection.
Beach nearby is not nice either.
