Herzlicher Empfang, hilfsbereit, saubere Unterkunft, perfekte Strandlage
Pros:

Ich wurde herzlich vom sehr netten Mitarbeiter George empfangen, der mich trotz fast zweistündiger Flugverspätung persönlich vom Flughafen abholte. Er war stets freundlich und hilfsbereit – vielen Dank dafür!
Das Zimmer war täglich sehr sauber, und die Lage ist hervorragend – nur ca. 40 Meter bis zum Strand. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Cons:

Alles war ok!

Très bon séjour
Pros:

Hôtel très propre avec un bon emplacement (50 mètres de la plage, 30 minutes de La Canée, commerces à proximité…)

Nous avions un petit appartement avec balcon, c’était très agréable et peu bruyant. Emplacement pour garer la voiture juste à côté.

Des petites attentions étaient présentes quand nous sommes arrivés (pommes, brioche, café/thé, eau) et le ménage est plus que parfait tous les jours !

Cons:

Il manque un peu d’ustensiles et d’équipements dans la cuisine.

Pros:

The Despina Studios was perfect for our Holiday in wonderful Agia Marina and for visiting other parts of the Island including Paelachora and the Balos Gramavousso Cruise trips. Despina Studios is in a great location and kept spotlessly clean by George and his staff. Geiroge takes great pride in runnng the Studios and kindly offers advise on all the services locally. the beach is less than 100 metres, is lovely and relaxing with beach & restaurant staff very friendly at the Troulakis Beach next door where you can relax and enjoy the pool as well when residing at the Despina Studios. The rooms have everything you need in a sun holiday and is cleaned daily with fresh towels and bathrooms accessories. A wonderful base to stay at and very safe and relaxing. Best wishes and continued success to George ad Despina and look forward to staying with you again, hopefully not to far in the distant future again.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was very good and we had a great holiday at Despina Studios

Szuper apartman
Pros:

Ketten utaztunk a nagy fiammal. 3 ágyas szobát kaptunk. 3 személyre volt törölköző, legalább 3db/fő, és strand törölköző is. Gyönyörű tisztaság volt, mindennap jöttek takarítani, ágyneműt és törölközőket is cseréltek az 1 hét alatt, formára hajtva az ágyon! Volt bekészítve hideg víz és narancslé, sütemény. Teafilter, kávé, cukor, alma.
A tulaj segítőkész volt, és a takarítók is tündériek. Érkezésünkkor térképet, buszmenetrendet is kaptunk. A strand 2perc séta, és medence is van. Éttermek, boltok, patika minden pár perc séta. Buszmegálló a ház előtt. A fürdőszoba tágas, szeparált nagy méretű zuhany. Müködő klíma. Nagyon ajánlom! Apartmanok között kimagasló!
Köszönjük!

Pobyt w Desposina Studio był wyjątkowy - czysto, komfortowo i z przemiłą obsługą Świetna lokalizacja
Pros:

Pobyt w Desposina Studio na Krecie był absolutnie wspaniały! Wszystko było na najwyższym poziomie – pokój bardzo czysty i zadbany, a lokalizacja świetna, blisko do najważniejszych atrakcji i plaży. Personel przesympatyczny, zawsze pomocny i uśmiechnięty. Ogromnym plusem było codzienne sprzątanie oraz wymiana ręczników, co sprawiało, że pobyt był niezwykle komfortowy. Zdecydowanie polecam to miejsce każdemu, kto szuka spokojnego, wygodnego i przyjaznego zakwaterowania na Krecie!

Pros:

Fin beliggenhet i Agia Marina, ikke langt fra Platanias. Hotellet ligger nært sjøen, der det var gratis komfortable solsenger mot at vi handlet drikke eller spiste i en koselig strandrestaurant.. George tilbød oss gratis badehandduker til å benytte på stranda, og vi slapp derfor å ta det med.oss.Det er også solsenger ved bassenget til nabohotellet som kunne benyttes.Personalet på Despina studios, som er familiedrevet, var hjelpsomme og veldig hyggelige. De snakket alle engelsk. Rommene ble vasket daglig, og det ble byttet handduker og sengetøy flere ganger under oppholdet. Ved ankomst stod det juice, vann, basilikum, epler, formkake og brødpinner klart. Det var også en skål med kaffe,te, sukker, salt og pepper slik at vi hadde den første tiden. På rommet fantes også oppvaskmiddel og hygieneartikler for den første tiden. Dusjen var stor og fin og sengene var komfortable. Det var strykejern på rommet, noe som også var fint. George var veldig servicevennlig, og hjalp oss å bestille taxi til og fra flyplassen til en grei pris. Han klippte busker som skjulte for sjøutsikten når han ble klar over at vi ikke hadde utsikt.

Cozzy stay at Despina in Agia Mariina Crete
Pros:

The staff (the owner) is very friendly and helpful.
The room was very clean and cozy all the time with a high-quality standard. Near the beach, restaurants, bars, and everything was easy available. You can easily arrange other activities outside Agia Marina with the help of the owner, who helps make the reservations.
My friends stayed in a hotel apartment next to Despina, and in my consideration, the quality standard of the room at Despina was higher.
Highly recommended.

Cons:

Nothing to say

An unforgettable stay – pure magic!
Pros:

I loved this place to the maximum! From the moment I arrived, I felt like the most awaited guest. A huge and sincere thank you to George and Valentina for the warmest, most heartfelt welcome I've ever received. Their hospitality is beyond words – you feel truly special from the first second. They greet you with a smile, provide you with all the tips and recommendations you might need, and they are always there to help with anything. You can feel how much care and attention they put into every detail.

When we entered the room, we even found lovely treats waiting for us – such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture! It made us feel incredibly welcomed and appreciated.

The property itself is simply amazing – a peaceful little paradise. People have different tastes, but for me, this was absolute perfection. It is the most soulful and charming place I’ve ever stayed in – every detail is thoughtfully arranged, offering complete comfort and impeccable cleanliness. The location couldn’t be better either. I am absolutely thrilled and so happy to have found this gem.

I will definitely come back again! Wishing George and Valentina all the very best in their wonderful work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a perfect space!

Cons:

absolutely nothing)))
