Good Points: The apartments are in a quiet position away from the main town. The staff working there are very friendly and helpful. The beaches are lovely and some of the views are fantastic.

Bad Points: The apartments are situated on a hill!

General comments: We have just spent a lovely 2 weeks in Crete. There is so much to see and do. The Marilenna Studios were a bit small and basic but no different to other places I've been to in Greece. They were always well cleaned and linen changed regularly. We didn't stay in the apartments much so we weren't bothered that there were no games/clubs etc for the kids or nothing at the apartments. If I had wanted a holiday like that I would have booked a hotel in Alcudia! There are loads of things to do and places to explore in Crete. Just get out there and enjoy yourself! There are a few Water parks to choose from, the best I think being Aquasplash. It was convenient just paying for everything when you leave instead of having to carry money about with you all day. You will see what I mean if you go there. I agree with the reviewer who said about shopping around to book trips. We booked through the rep and paid through the nose! We could have saved a fortune by just booking through the travel shops dotted around. I didn't hear of any problems from people booking through them. There are loads of bars and restaurants to choose from and we enjoyed our meal in every one we went to. Quite a few places offer you a free ouzo or raki before your meal. Very kind I must say. You don't get that service at the Dog and Duck in Chester! We had an early morning breakfast in a couple of places too. It was very surprising but the cooked breakfasts are just as we like them, if you like that sort of thing of course. If you do wish to eat in the apartments, a little word of advice. The Apartments are on a hill which can be a struggle in 90 degree heat. Get your stuff delivered to the apartments. One of the reviewers commented about the owner's supermarket being dearer than everyone else's. What's paying a couple of Euro more to have it delivered instead of trudging up and down a hill in that heat to save next to nothing? Just remember. You are on holiday. Take it easy! Enjoy your holiday.

Hersonissos itself is beautiful and there is plenty to do. The choice of restaurants is immense and the people are very friendly.
The Marilenna apartments are in a good location as long as you do not have mobility problems.
There are many problems to be found at the Marilenna Studios and Apartments so please be prepared if you are going there! The rooms are small and in a state of disrepair. The level of cleanliness is well below standard and unfortunately there is no reception to speak to abo ...

The Marilenna Studios are situated in a nice little area away from the main town but not too far away. It's only about a 15 - 20 minute walk to the beach front bars and restaurants. There are a load of restaurants to choose from and they all offer a large choice of meals. If you have children it's nice to stroll along the beach front/pier in the evening, before the party goers come out! It is quite busy all the time but the younger drinkers came out after midnight so parents and kids can have th ...
