Excellent value family run hotel
This is an excellent family-run hotel, in immaculate condition, with friendly staff and good facilities. Access to most of the rooms involves a number of steps, so not ideal for the mobility impaired traveller. Additional (very reasonable) charges apply for air conditioning or internet access. The wi-fi network was a bit weak and erratic. I only wish I could have prolonged my stay by another week or two ...

Great Price & Great Space.
This place is perfect for a couple, family or friends. You will definitely need to rent a car to enjoy Crete. This hotel will put you 45 min drive, an hour and a half and 2 from the 3 best beaches in Crete. You will also be 10 minuets from Platanias which has a great strip of restaurants and shopping. Make sure to buy olive oil on the road from the farmers, best olive oil in the world is from Crete. The food at the hotel is amazing, the cook is excellent. I plan to return to Crete and I would stay at Futura again. The grounds aren't suitable for the elderly or people needing a wheel chair. Lots of stairs up and down to move through the property, it is also difficult when carrying your own luggage up to your room.

A Warm Welcome
Very comfortable studio with lounge, kitchen and separate bathroom, and beautiful patio with well tended garden. Air con and Internet extra but good reception. Very helpful staff nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast lovely. Swimming pool and sun beds, all you need on site. Not much in immediate vininity (walking) Agood bus service very near hotel. But would suggest A car as so much to see nearby. Lively tourist area a few miles towards Hania. Would highly recomend if you don't want to be in the center.

Futura Hotel, Maleme
Lovely apartment in this complex. Pool and kids pool are in excellent condition and all day in the sun so not too cold, nice temperature even for the little ones in the kids pool. Only downside of the complex is there are many stairs to negotiate from your apartment/the pool to the exit if you want to go out. As is normal throughout Greece the drainage/sewer pipes are very small so the shower always turns into a mini bath as it cant drain fast enough and toilet paper is to be deposited in the special bin next to the toilet. Cleaners come in every day to clean bathroom, special toilet bin and rest of the apartment as well though, so this is dealt with very efficiently. Deluxe apartment has a separate bedroom, bathroom, living room with kitchenette and small patio to sit on, eat breakfast, e.g. Having a small fridge is very convenient. The complex also has a little shop and 5 mins. down the road is a medium sized supermarket as well. The location of the complex is about 10 mins. away from the nearest beach, pebbly beach though. If you are looking for a sandy beach it will be about 20-30 mins by bus, taxi or car to get to one.

Some parts of the Hotel are older but don't let this distract from what is a lovely family run Hotel who bend over backwards to help you. The staff and owners are great and help make your holiday if 5 star luxury is what you seek then you wont get the personal touch that the Futura staff offer, great location for Western Crete and a great pool and bar area, excellent for family's and the more mature travellers.

good hosts.
Beach is not very pleasant (mixture of sand and pebbles) and 10 minutes walk. No green lawn for children to play at in the hotel. But room was upgraded to a bigger one for free, cleaned daily, fresh towels every day, kitchen was fully equipped. Big bathroom, no bathtub, hot water was hot almost every day:-). Espresso was really bad and costed 3 euro. Good hotel if u have a car and use it as a base for traveling around the area.

Loved this place!
This place is beautiful. The room has a large living room with a balcony and views that are amazing. A fully equiped kitchen, seperate bedroom with kingsize bed, a dressing table and two large closets, plus another balcony. It was so much more than we expected. We only booked for one night not knowing what to expect and have extended the stay to 2 weeks. The lady who owns the place is so helpful and a real treasure. I will recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Crete. Right down the street is a grocery store, a bar, internet cafe.....everything you would need. We rented a car, but I understand the bus system is great for getting around.

Quality in relaxing environment
This hotel provided great service and is located in a great area. There are many restaurants in close proximity, as well as a grocery store. The beach takes a walk up the street to get to and is very rocky (not sandy). The reliable bus service has bus stops close to the hotel. There is no wifi and you must pay to use the internet computer. This is a great place to sit back, relax, and take things slow.

Udemærket, men basale mangler
Fine faciliteter. Meget hjælpsom personale. Der er basale mangler som sæbe, opvaskesæbe og børste, poser til skrald som vi endte med at bruge penge på selv, hvilket er lidt øv, når ikke er der længe. Mange kravlende myrer indendørs som også nogle gange kom op i sengen, så vi købte også en myrespray, som heldigvis virkede. 4 stjerner grundet meget venlig og hjælpsom personale.
