This family-run hotel is an absolute treasure. The staff and management were incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcomed and at home. Every request was met with a smile and genuine care. Set in beautifully renovated traditional houses, the property is a tranquil oasis of lush greenery that offers an authentic Cretan experience—a refreshing contrast to the large, impersonal resorts nearby. The buffet exceeded expectations with very good food throughout, but the desserts were the real surprise. While they may not have looked particularly fancy, they tasted absolutely heavenly. If you're seeking genuine hospitality, peaceful surroundings, and a true taste of Crete, this charming hotel delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

There were so many things we liked during our stay here! Firstly, the staff were extremely friendly, professional and caring. They were happy to share local tips, advice and genuinely wanted our stay to be the best it could be. The location was perfect for us, just a 5 minute walk from the beach so it was off the main road meaning it was not noisy at all. Some lovely places to eat close by and very close to the town centre. The complex was very quiet when we visited, which meant we had almost exclusive use of the pool.

There really isn’t anything not to like about this place, it is great value for money, well located, it feels secure and the staff were fantastic.

Clean, good value for money. Excellent location. Lovely room.

I wouldn’t say it would be best for a family holiday. Was great for us at the time, as we had a child free holiday for a friends wedding. So we enjoyed the peace ! We would definitely be back if it was just the two of us. Wouldn’t be my children as I would feel sorry for other hotel guests 😅 there is much for children too do. However a baby who isn’t at mobile stage would be fine !

Very friendly and helpful staff. Fun and relaxed atmosphere. Very beautiful and very clean overall.

Wifi not good in our room, could not really use it. A bit more utensils (glasses, cutlery,...) in the room would be nice, though that was largely compensated by the hotel staff doing the dishes during their daily cleaning :o

The whitewashed buildings covered in bougainvillea were very picturesque, the pool the perfect temperature, and sun loungers all round the pool so you can track the sun. Breakfast was delicious, as was the buffet dinner which we only found out about on arrival, very good value and traditional home cooked Greek food. Valentina was not just a brilliant waitress but also gave us guidance and advice on places to go and see and where to eat. The studio was lovely with a large bedroom, a large sitting room / kitchenette and a bathroom. We woke up cold on the first morning but found the blankets stored above the wardrobe so that was quickly sorted out.

We discovered on the way home that both my daughter and I had each found our mattress to be a little hard but didn't discuss it during the holiday so it can't have been that bad!

On arrival we were greeted with fresh orange juices, it was a pleasant surprise. The hotel area was surrounded by breathtaking gardens with the typical Cretan pink flowers on full bloom all over the place (very well managed by the staff). The staff was very nice to us and professional the whole week we stayed there. The hotel also has a nice pool, the water temperature was always pleasant. The air conditioner worked extremely well in all the four rooms we rented. The food: the breakfast was always fresh and delicious (tea/coffee/orange juice were included). We had the half board option, so we also had dinner: there were different greek dishes every night, all homemade and extremely delicious! (it was buffet style, the drinks/beverages were not included, but you could charge it on your room). There was also a barbecue night one night with greek style grilled meats and many kinds of sides to choose from. The parking (we rented a 9 seater car): there's no dedicated parking space but we could always find a spot to park the car for free. The Analipsi beach is just 350 meters from the property.

The wifi usually didn't work from the rooms but worked well from the pool bar area.

My husband and I visited Paul Marie for our honeymoon! The hotel exceeded our expectations. I can honestly say that everything down to the last detail at Paul Marie was wonderful. The staff was extremely nice. We have never been to a place with friendlier and more helpful staff. The atmosphere in the hotel is extremely conducive to relaxation and romance. You immerse yourself in the magic of the island through the incredible flowers that are everywhere around the complex. The pool is medium in size but absolutely sufficient and we didn't feel any discomfort at all and we like to stay by the pool. The beach is extremely close (3 minutes walk) and it's great! The feeling is that you are on the ocean, not the sea. The hotel is within walking distance of the best (in our opinion) restaurants in Analipsi and all the big shops. Breakfast and dinner were WOW! I was worried about dinner because I wasn't expecting much variety. Fortunately, it was wonderful and very diverse. By the taste of the food, you feel that it is home-made and the products used are local. I personally fell in love with Cretan cuisine and got to know it specifically through our dinners at Paul Marie. Note, we did not eat at any other restaurant on either night! It was so delicious to us. I recommend the hotel for a truly unforgettable, relaxing, and romantic vacation to everyone. You won't go wrong. Be sure to get dinner included in your stay!

Although my husband and I are pretty demanding - we have no objections.

The staff is very nice and ready to help you anytime. Breakfasts were exceptional. Mostly it was the same but they change some meals every morning keeping you from getting used to eating the same foods. It was said that rooms are cleaned every two days. In fact they clean them every day! The room Itself is cute with the full of space and the best thing is the balconies decorated with beautiful purple flowers. The hotel property in general is covered in these flowers. The pool is clean and nice. We chilled there when we were tired of going to beaches. Highly recommend. +vibe

Lovely staff, nice pool and good breakfast (with a variety of options). The rooms are spacious and very clean. The hotel has a restaurant, which is also convenient. The location is also good, near to the beach. Overall, we had a very good stay!

The shower doors were not fully sealing the water, so there was some water leak and the floor could get quite wet after use. There was a bbq night with music and dancers (which is very nice), but this was just next to my room and the music was quite loud until 22:30-23:00, which wasn't ideal for a family with young kids.

Beautiful apartments set among lots of pink bougainvillea. They are basic but spotlessly clean and very comfortable, perfect for a family holiday. Cot set up for our daughter when we arrived and we couldn't believe how lovely the place was, including the wonderful staff and excellent home-cooked food. Great facilities, including the lovely pool area and so close to the beach. Everyone who works there is so friendly and accommodating, we felt so welcome and our 2 year old daughter had a fantastic time too. We will definitely be returning when we can, thank you to everyone there for such a special holiday!

It was hard to fault anything, it was perfect for us.
