"Decent hotel for the money. Pictures are deceiving. Pool has limited chairs. Did not eat at the hotel at all because there was always a faint smell of vomit. Room was old and needs updating. The housekeeper opened the door to the deck daily which made the room extremely hot upon entering and you are unable to leave on the air conditioning when you leave the room. The smallest shower I’ve ever seen with no wash rags available."

"Had a wonderful stay here. The property is charming with a lot of character and a perfect central location. The “superior” room was spacious and bright and the staff were incredibly friendly. The cleaning staff especially were so kind and sweet. The shower did switch temperatures from hot to warm back and forth which was odd but that was the only thing we noticed. Overall fantastic and highly recommend!!"

"Helpful personal"

Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

Zeus Hotels YDORIA RESORT - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"An Excellent Family Stay – Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay at the resort as a family of five, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was fantastic. The resort was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, and the entire atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and family-friendly. The staff were absolutely wonderful — warm, friendly, attentive, and always happy to help, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The food was excellent, with plenty of choice and everything we tried being fresh and delicious. A special mention has to go to the pool bar, which was amazing! It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink while the kids were having fun. The children were also incredibly well catered for. The kids’ pool and kids’ club were fantastic, giving the children plenty to enjoy while also allowing us parents some time to relax and unwind. Overall, everything about our stay was great — from the cleanliness and food to the facilities and, most importantly, the wonderful staff. It really felt like a resort where families are genuinely looked after. We had an amazing holiday and would happily return. Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing, enjoyable, and memorable stay! ❤️"

The Syntopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Syntopia Hotel for our summer holiday. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, they put in extra effort to get to know you and ensure you are having a lovely holiday. A few days into our holiday, they were automatically bringing our favourite drinks to our table at meal times which was very lovely! The food had such a good variety with a different focus every other night. We particularly enjoyed the Asian night. We would recommend staying at the Syntopia to everyone!"

Paralos Irini Mare

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were large and clean. The staff were great and did all they could to make our stay memorable. The pool was great and the food was excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner were all very well done. The only caveat to that was the Tomatini restaurant which to our surprise was a little disappointing. This part of the island flies under the radar and is an absolute gem."

Oros Luxury Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was simply perfect. From the beautiful pool-access room to the exceptional kindness and hospitality of the staff, every detail felt special. The hotel manager personally walked us to the dining room on our first visit, and Nikos from one of the hotel’s impressive restaurants was absolutely amazing. The spa is also fantastic and even offers hairdressing services. Simply wow. If you’re visiting Crete, don’t miss the chance to stay at OROS. An unforgettable experience!"

Mary Hotel & Mary Royal Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Parking easy and close. Walk to good restaurants and to the beach. Excellent staff! Would definitely recommend!"

Nalu Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great experience. The hotel also organised a birthday cake which was a wonderful surprise. Thank you all."

Eltina Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel easy to find, next to large supermarket on a main road, a mile from the cross island route. Some parking, 3 allocated spaces and then on street parking nearby Has a lift but some stairs involved for most rooms. Room was a 2 room apartment with a large lounge/kitchen area, with a large Smart TV, oven, hob and fridge. Balcony off each room, large shower room, and plenty of storage space. Complimentary breakfast was good. Pool area limited, not enough sunbeds and begins to lose sun from about 3pm. Staff were pleasant and helpful. 100yds from the massive beach and its safe promenade full of bars and restaurants leading to town, about a mile away. The main road option I would avoid on foot, parked cars and busy junctions."
