My stay at Solimar Aquamarine was a mixed experience. While I appreciated the modern suites and the beautiful decoration of the hotel, I was disappointed with the level of service and the dining options available. The staff was generally pleasant, but there were some organizational issues, especially regarding room availability and dining experiences. The meals frequently lacked variety and didn't meet the five-star expectations. Overall, it’s a pleasant place but not quite what I expected.

I just came back from a delightful stay at Solimar Aquamarine Hotel. The staff really made the experience special with their warmth and attentiveness. I was particularly impressed with the dining options that offered both variety and quality. The hotel's location is a bit secluded from Chania but offers a peaceful retreat; I recommend having a car or using public transportation to explore. Overall, it was a fantastic vacation with great weather and lovely people around.

My stay at Solimar Aquamarine was overall delightful, especially with the modern facilities and the lovely private pool rooms.

Our stay at the hotel was unfortunately filled with issues. While we encountered a few staff members who were pleasant, the overall experience was marred by poor service and inadequate food offerings. Moving rooms with children in tow was extremely inconvenient, and the limited drink options left much to be desired. However, a positive note was the friendly guy at the mini market who brightened our days. I'd suggest considering other options before booking here.

I recently enjoyed an incredible week at this hotel! The staff were lovely and made sure we felt welcome throughout our stay. Our room was spacious, well-decorated, and had a lovely balcony, making it a comfortable retreat. Though the dining options were plentiful and generally tasty, I found the variety could be more exciting after a few days. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a few minor areas for improvement.
