5/5 Excellent
"Superb - everything you could want for a relaxing family holiday. Good food choice, nice drinks, 2 pools, amazing beach, beautiful village with central location, anyone criticising place is being picky and pedantic.
We would not hesitate to come again. "
A verified traveller from Newcastle stayed at Hotel Kalyves Beach
"The team was wonderful- friendly and helpful and welcoming. The only issue we had was with the bathroom. There is no shower which we found challenging and feel that such an option should exist. The restaurant adjacent to the hotel was delicious and of course the location is fabulous."
A verified traveller stayed at Palazzino Di Corina
"My girlfriend and I stayed three nights at Avli in late October of 2023. I can’t say enough good things about our experience! Our suite was beautiful and spacious with a wonderful private terrace which overlooked the charming cobblestone streets of Rethymno. There are two restaurants just below our suite (Avli and Raki Baraki) which offer some of the best food in a town known for its cuisine. Every single staff member, from the concierge to the restaurant servers, was extremely friendly and helpful. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Rethymno in the future, we will definitely make this our home base!"

"Beautiful hotel located midway between Heraklion and Chania. Loved the beach and restaurant. Our room was amazing with our own pool and fireplace in our private outdoor area. Staff couldn't have been nicer. Loved Rethymno's old town which was a short cab drive away. Would highly recommend this hotel."
A verified traveller from MELVILLE stayed at CARAMEL Grecotel Boutique Resort
"Loved the waterpark esp for our son.
Also the buffet for dinner was excellent, though the a la carte restaurants not so much.
The room was spacious and clean with no carpet on the floor.
Staff were excellent too, professional but friendly.
The only thing missing was a bidet in the bathroom."
A verified traveller stayed at Anemos Luxury Grand Resort
"Adonis was a gracious host, and we especially enjoyed talkig with Nikki, who was part of the staff. Our apartment was spacious, and had a nice balcony with a nice city view that also looked out on the Fortezza. Adonis oriented us to the neighborhood with suggestions and a map. We had kitchen facilities that were very convenient and our bed and air conditioning made our sleep very comfortable. We were even able to easily extend our stay on short notice. We definitely recommend Palazzo Vecchio!"
