Sissi
The picturesque natural harbour of Sissi, is less than 100 meters from the hotel. The tourist resorts of Hersonissos and Malia with their archaeological sites are to the west of the hotel, while to the east guests will find another popular resort, Agios Nikolaos. The establishment consists of 9 traditional buildings scattered across beautifully manicured gardens. In this wonderful setting of green lawns accented by picturesque arrangements of shrubbery, guests can enjoy all the beauties of nature. Visitors can take a refreshing dip in the large outdoor pool, surrounded by lounge chairs ready to welcome sunbathers. After a day of aquatic fun, guests can enjoy a night of lively entertainment. The hotel regularly hosts Greek nights with folk dancing. Guests are invited to dine on the terrace where they can choose from international, Greek and Cretan cuisine.

Lovely hotel
Just back from a 10 day holiday from Sissi and staying in the Maritimo Beach hotel. Hotel is lovely, very clean, beautiful setting, food was great! As a family of 4 with 2 teens I would say the only negative is there really isn't anything for kids at all. There is no animation team so no activities offered during the day, no pool table or table tennis etc. Evening entertainment is only a couple of days a week and there was one night advertising wine tasting which we were looking forward to and didnt even happen! Its more an adult only hotel than a family hotel but still a lovely place to visit.

Highly recommend. Will visit again
This was our second time at Maritimo and it was just as wonderful as we remembered from our previous visit in 2023. The hotel is located on the quieter side of Sissi Harbour/Bay but it is easily walkable (or swimmable) to the other side and this is one of the things we love about it. It’s right near the harbour so you can walk down for a quick swim. The hotel itself is beautiful. There were three of us, me, my husband and our 23 yo daughter so we had two rooms. Our daughter was in a room that had been updated and I think they’re working through the complex to update them. Ours was a little less modern but still a lovely room. The shower pressure was amazing, I’ve stayed in some hotels where it’s so weak but it was great. Our room was located near the road at the back of the hotel so there was some noise but overly so. We stayed half board, and the food didn’t disappoint. The breakfast has incredible choice and they change up the dinner menu each night. It is mainly help yourself but they do have an option some evenings where the chef serves it. The gyros were incredible. Georgia and staff in the dining room are all so friendly and helpful. We are at the pool bar some lunchtimes and the food is so good and reasonably priced. Always serves with a smile by Athena too. Some evenings they have entertainment in the hotel bar/lobby, which is a nice area to just sit and relax, listen to music, play cards etc. The entertainment was well received, we saw the sax player, the pianist with a singer and a Greek dancing evening. All very enjoyable. All of the staff at the hotel are friendly, welcoming and helpful and are one of the main reason we returned and will return again. Highly recommend.
A fantastic holiday!
We stayed for 14 nights in September and had a fabulous holiday! We were in room 710 overlooking the smaller pool. Breakfast and dinner were great - the staff very attentive. Sissi has a beautiful harbour just a few minutes walk from the Maritimo and if you go right across to the other side of the harbour (10 mins walk) there are lovely bars/restaurants. We went to The Cactus Pub a few times and watched the amazing sunset 🌅 from there. We also went to local bars (Peggy Gordon’s, Juniper, Anixi) all just 5 mins walk away. I also had a great manicure and pedicure from Muse - (next to Peggy Gordon’s) - the young lady in there did a fabulous job! The Maritimo’s Spa is lovely (Sofia and Vicky) and my husband had a great massage there. The only negative I can find at all is that there is no rail at all to aid getting into the smaller, quieter pool, which is such a shame if you have any mobility issues at all. We had to go across to the bigger pool if we wanted a dip! The beach in front of the hotel is all rocks but is amazing to watch. People do swim in the harbour though and I believe there are sandy beaches nearby. We also went on George’s Fun Train which was great. All in all, the Maritimo Beach Hotel and Sissi gave us a great holiday.

Nice stay
We have been to Crete a number of times over the years, and this is a nice hotel, great location in a very nice little village location..... with a few tweaks could be a really fantastic place, the main negative for us was the bathroom, very small, needed an extractor fan of some description and could have done with a good deep clean and tile grout being renewed, the shower/bath mixer nearly had to broken off to get it to move! Other than that, it was a comfortable and spacious room (807), small conveniences like having somewhere to hang wet towels/swimming bits on the balcony would have been handy, but again, it's just those small details that could make it an even better experience. The rooms are also not very well sound proofed, so you can hear pretty much everything from the adjoining rooms, including conversations, which wasn't ideal, as our room was surrounded on all sides!
I found the food to be very good, the salads and main dishes for me as a vegetarian were plentiful and varied each day, my wife found some of the meat in the mains to be overdone and chewy on a few of the nights, which was a shame, the deserts were standard hotel fair, just ok, but the little additions like baklava on the odd nights were very nice!
Staff were all very nice, friendly and helpful and overall the hotel was spotless in the communal areas, and rooms were given a once over everyday, with towels being changed as and when you wanted them to be (by leaving them in the bath tub).
Overall, we would stay here again, although next time, maybe only for a few days as part of a bigger visit to the island.

Fabulous Spa Experience (visitor)
Ended my holiday in the Aegeo Spa at the Maritimo (Sissi) as a visitor.
Enjoyed a fabulous 70minute Cretan full body massage, expertly carried out by the therapist ‘Shima’.
Would highly recommend this Spa.
