"Had a fantastic family holiday at the Pela Mare in August 25. The hotel was nicely presented with very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely and peaceful with great views but close enough to shops and restaurants etc. Would recommend "
"Endroit très bien haut en montagne. Très venteux, ce qui est positif pour les journées chaudes. Très propre, service d'entretien ménager à tous les jours au besoin. 5 étoiles pour la personne qui fait l'entretien, très gentille et disponible. Nous étions 5 personnes et l'endroit était parfait, chambres confortables, et grandeur convenable. Beaucoup de rangement.
Cependant, la cuisine manque d'articles pour cuisiner, pas beaucoup d'équipement de cuisine, le strict minimum ce qui peut parfois...
"Beautiful property with incredible views. Quiet community between Heraklion and Rethymo was close to the airport but away from the crowds. Our only issue was finding the house and having staff available to answer questions. The drive has steep slopes so having an SUV was helpful. "
"Appartamento bellissimo, nuovo, pulitissimo, grande, arredato con gusto e molto molto completo.
Maria e Andreas riservano agli ospiti molte piccole attenzioni come la torta che ci ha fatto trovare all’arrivo, la bottiglia di vino, i boccali da birra nel freezer.
La zona è tranquilla, silenziosa a 2 min dalla spiaggia a piedi.
Sono rari gli appartamenti di questo livello, Spazi abbondanti, 3 terrazzi e cucina molto ben attrezzata"
"The owner George is a lovely person with great hospitality. House is private and great. Mind the road to the house, it is at the bottom between the mountains. Bit bumpy, but wait until you see what you get. We Will be back, no doubt about it"
"Our hosts were outstanding! They had fruit, pastry, liquor and water in fridge for us. The pictures you see online are actually real. You have a million dollar view. Our patio was huge. LOVE IT! 2 senior woman and we felt extremely safe. Our apt was cute, clean, beds comfy and quiet. The apt was fully equipped if you chose to cook. Plenty of restaurants down the hill overlooking the sea. Grocery store nearby. Location was great for sightseeing around Crete. Highly recommend. "

"The grounds were beautiful and very well kept. The staff were extremely friendly and made time to speak with us everyday. Would recommend staying here to anyone "
"We had a very nice week at Blue Bay, the staff were lovely and helpful, rooms clean, bed and pillows were comfortable, food was very nice, the only negative comments I would have are that there was no milk alternatives, the all inclusive drinks weren’t great and no fruit juice in the mornings! Other than that it was great."
"From the moment we arrived at Maison Meltem, we were welcomed into an atmosphere of understated luxury and style. The room was a true showcase of tasteful interior design—chic, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay feel special. The décor blends modern elegance with Mediterranean charm, creating a space that is both inviting and relaxing.
The private pool attached to our room was a highlight—an exclusive retreat where we could unwind in total privacy. Whether enjoying a morning swim or a quiet evening by the water, it added a sense of indulgence and tranquility to our experience.
What truly sets Maison Meltem apart is the personal service. Olivier’s attention to detail and genuine care for his guests is exceptional. He goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels welcome and at ease.
Dinner at the hotel is not to be missed. The cuisine is exquisite, with beautifully presented dishes that celebrate the flavors of Crete. The intimate setting and attentive service make every meal a memorable occasion.
Maison Meltem is more than just a hotel—it’s a place where you can truly feel at home. If you’re looking for a boutique experience that combines comfort, style, and heartfelt hospitality, this is the perfect address. Highly recommended!"
"A few words will tell how great our stay was. To start with the the staff on the front desk are very polite courteous very nice,& well spoken. We honestly love it. Will I consider coming back” yes and will I stay at the same absolutely. Thank you Pela Mara it was a pleasure staying at your place. "
"The hotel looks very nice from the outside and also in the pictures. The view is simply stunning and truly impressive. Unfortunately, the location is a bit inconvenient – there are no tavernas or attractions around.
Although it is presented as a five-star hotel, in our opinion it is more like a 3.5-star standard. The food was often cold, very monotonous, and with little variety. There was no live cooking, not even at breakfast.
The all-inclusive drinks were quite average, as expected, but the paid drinks at the bar were excellent – some of the best I have ever had.
This hotel is not the right choice for people who want to explore Crete. It is rather for those who just want to pay for an all-inclusive stay, relax at the hotel, and do nothing else.
The cleaning service was poor, and the sunbeds on the beach were dirty – something unacceptable for a five-star hotel. Everything seems like more as quantity rather then quality.
On a positive note, Irina at the reception was absolutely fantastic and made our stay really enjoyable in terms of entertainment. Also, Maria at breakfast was very friendly and left us with a great impression.
Overall, the hotel left us with a disappointing impression, and we definitely would not book it again.

"Last minute decision was a first class choice. Everything you could ask for. So much has been thought of for an enjoyable stay. One of the most powerful built in hairdryers !! Eye for detail to make your stay comfortable. Quiet location plenty of sunbeds around the two tier pools. Pool side bar perfect for breakfast. Shops supermarket bars and restaurants all within 5 minute walk. Beach is convenient location. Great food and drink. Late minute check out thought too. "
