Mistral Mare Hotel

Lukáš Pitoňák

Nice hotel, though disconnected from the beach (183 steps of a hot, uneven, uncovered and without good railing staircase). No free wifi- very expensive and paid by day. The hotel is praised by its food. Except few selections (like chicken) it's all mediocre. The worst is the coffee: the same instant coffee machine in all bars, it's just bad. We had to buy for us a better coffee in the supermarket nearby. The staff of the hotel is very helpful. Rooms are nice and clean, cleaned daily. There are not many without see view, but definitely ask for that - those few looking other way are not nice to spend time on. There is only one pool normal guest can use, same for the pool bar. Half of the pictures of the pools are in the "Golden wing", where we weren't supposed to go. After you conquer the stairs to the beach, the beach itself is turquoise blue, beautiful. Don't expect it to be sandy though, twice during our stay wind came, and the waves took all the sand out. The beach was most of our stay just pebbles and stones. Not comfy at all. The sunbeds are from 10€ ~30€ per set per day, and are very soon taken by early goers. The trips the hotel offers, are quite expensive. It's cheaper to rent a car for 2 days and discover the island on your own. Overall very nice holiday, but there are some cons.

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The rooms were stunning, spotless, and beautifully designed, with breathtaking views that made every morning feel magical. The pool area was serene and well-maintained perfect for relaxing under the sun. But what truly blew us away was the food. Every single meal was a masterpiece! The flavors, the presentation, the variety everything was top tier. A huge shoutout to the chef, who is nothing short of a culinary genius. You can truly taste the passion and creativity in every dish. Dining here was an experience on its own, and we found ourselves looking forward to every single meal. Highly recommended we can’t wait to return!

One of the best experiences I've ever had... The hotel is really beautiful and the food is amazing. The view from the pools and the rooms is breathtaking and there are some stairs at the hotel entrance that lead to one of the most beautiful beaches in all Crete.. i highly recommend it and definitely visit it again!

We had a really nice stay. The hotel is on a hillside with amazing sea views. I highly recommend upgrading your room – the standard one was very small and not comfortable. The sea view room made a big difference. The beach is beautiful, totally worth the walk down. Some complain about the steps, but for us they weren’t a problem at all. Actually, it felt like a nice little workout after eating half of the restaurant. The hotel feels best for adults – there aren’t any activities or play areas for kids, so families with children might find it a bit boring. The staff were great – super friendly and always happy to help. Whether it was the reception team, the waiters, or the pool bar staff, everyone made us feel really welcome. The food was really good. Even as a picky eater, I was happy. During the day, there were also snacks available at the pool bars – like sandwiches and hot dogs – which was really convenient. The rooftop pool bar is amazing – very modern and stylish. It’s a great spot to relax, enjoy a drink, and take in the stunning views. There are extra charges like paid Wi-Fi and the tourist tax, and you’ll likely want to upgrade your room – so keep that in mind. But overall, it’s a peaceful, scenic place, perfect for a quiet beach holiday.

Amazing stay! We had a fantastic family holiday at Mistral Mare Hotel. The view over Voulisma Beach is breathtaking, the rooms are renovated and clean, and the food (all-inclusive) was excellent every day. One of the highlights was the "secret" passageway under the road that leads directly to the beach via a small staircase — a lovely touch that made access to Voulisma Beach quick and easy for the whole family. We found the hotel to be excellent value for money, especially considering the quality of the amenities and the fantastic location. It’s a shame that many happy guests don’t take the time to leave a review, while only the few with complaints seem to speak up. So here we are — highly recommending this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday in Crete. We’d gladly return!
