Marni Village Reviews
" Hi, we have just returned from our... "
Submitted By: Mrs M Ward
Hi, we have just returned from our holidays in Crete and we have to say that it was our best holiday to date. The apts were great big and plenty of room for a family of four,with very effecent staff from the bar staff to the maids. Everything was as advertised and to say that you were treated like you were the only guest would be an understatememt. It is suited to families very much so. Also to the young however if you had a slight problem with walking it may not suit as the hillsback from Hersisonnis are steep. However to counter that a taxi in not expensive. My sons enjoyed it thourly as did my husband. Thank you Marni for a fab holiday. By the way your barmaid at the square pool near the road is a treasure. Many many thanks Marian & family.

" Found the apartment lacked wardrobe... "
Submitted By: Mrs S Kirkpatrick
Found the apartment lacked wardrobe space for 4 people and hated the shower area as the floor always was flooded after the four of us had a shower in there, not even a mop & bucket to mop up afterwards. Maids cleaned & changed towels regularly enough. Kitchen had oven, grill 2 rings, coffee percolator, fridge and plenty of cutlery & crockery for anyone who is interested in self catering. Nice & quiet at night so no problem sleeping. Had nice view of the smaller pool at the front of the complex.
There were not enough beds and even fewer umbrellas for the number of guests using the small pool. Some of these were knackered as it was. Tried the bigger pool and found it to be the same. Had to play the 'sun bed game' early in the morning to make sure we got a bed with a brolly for the children. Pool bar at small pool doesn't open until around 12 each day, closes around 6pm. Very relaxing by this pool, quiet even. Bigger pool more lively with better bar & bar snacks served.
Koutouloufari Village about 5 mins walk. Lovely village with many restaurants. Tried several different ones during our 2 weeks and not a bad meal in one of them. Also tried a couple of restaurants further along the road to Piskopiano village and again excellent. Some lovely quiet bars to suit couples.
Hersonissos is a 15 minute walk downhill, 6 euro up in a taxi. More restaurants & bars but not as appealing as in the villages. Usual shops selling tourist tat and a few better shops selling the good stuff. Lots of jewelers. Hersonissos a bit mad, more for the 18 - 30 groups of partygoers & clubbers.
Beach at Hersonissos is not very good. Better going into Stalis or beyond if you must go to the beach. Water sports if you want, are at Star Beach a 10 minute walk downhill, which is not really much of a beach but more like sunbathing space around a few pools, built for the masses.
All in all will visit Koutouloufari again, but don't rely entirely on the reviews as it is only personal opinion.

Submitted By: Mrs R Ferguson
This was my third trip to Marni. On previous occasions I had gone with a friend but this year the family came. Nothing had changed!!! The apartments were spotless as was the rest of the complex.
<br><br>
The staff were friendly - nothing was too much trouble. This is the ideal spot for a relaxing holiday - within walking distance of beautiful restraints or a buzzing nightlife for the younger ones. The perfect holiday!!!! <br>

Submitted By: Select S K Pickering
Go to the Marni Village and have the best time ever. The staff are so friendly and the food in the bar by the pool is good. Pat and Sara are the best ever host, they even ballet dance when it is quiet, they are helpful and very good company, BUCHAARHEA is the best chef ever.
<br>
There is no pushiness to make your stay but advice is always on hand and the staff will tell you the best bars and restaurants to visit. Methos is a good bar and the staff there Anna and Iralles are very friendly. Dionases is great with Van gellis and Mia behind the bar. Visit the summer palace at Malia for a sight to behold and eating the harbour restraunts in Sissi at lunchtime . The best Hol. ever.
