Marilena Hotel

All-inclusive beach hotel in Amoudara, Crete — a short walk from Ammoudara Beach and close to Heraklion. You’re about 10 minutes by car from Heraklion Port and the Archaeological Museum, roughly 20 minutes to the Palace of Knossos. Nearby beaches include Edem Island Beach and Havana Beach; address on Andrea Papandreou Street puts you steps from sand and city sights.

212 individually decorated, light and airy rooms with private balconies or patios, mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms come with showers or bathtubs and hairdryers; room equipment varies by category. Common spaces include a palm-tree garden, sun terrace and a cozy lobby with a fireplace — perfect for easy island vibes after a day of exploring.

All-inclusive setup with an outdoor pool (lifeguard on duty), poolside bar, sunbeds and umbrellas (free at the pool), and pool towels (deposit). Onsite extras include a restaurant, bar/lounge, snack bar/deli, outdoor shower, sun terrace, garden, library, table tennis and billiards, children’s playground, massage services (extra), tour desk and car rental. Doctor on call and first-aid available; free self-parking onsite.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi in public areas and rooms, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, laundry and dry-cleaning services, plus free self-parking — handy if you’re mixing work with island time.

The all-inclusive plan covers meals and many drinks at onsite dining spots. Dine on traditional Cretan and international dishes in the restaurant, grab a snack at the deli, or sip cocktails at the bar or poolside. Drinks are served through much of the day (roughly until 22:00–23:00); some special meals or premium items may carry extra charges.
