"Der Zugang zur Unterkunft ist sehr sehr schlecht, man sollte hier dazu schreiben, dass nur Menschen, die wirklich sehr gut zu Fuß sind dort unterkommen können, denn es ist tatsächlich ein sehr steiler, steiniger Aufgang. Tanya war vor Ort für uns zuständig und jederzeit sehr gut zu erreichen. Leider ist die Möglichkeit am Pool sehr begrenzt und man kann es nicht wirklich genießen bei der Sauberkeit, naja, da bin ich vielleicht ein wenig empfindlich es war oberflächlich sauber nur man durfte halt...

"The location was great! Close to pay parking lot in case you can’t find a spot on the road. We parked the car and walked everywhere. Old Town is great to get “lost” in with plenty of sites you can locate by phone maps. My husband and I are pretty fit so up and down hills, uneven streets and sidewalks was not a problem for us. Staff was very helpful allowing for early check in and holding our luggage until our room was ready. I would have given 5 stars but our shower door track leaked on the...

Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

"Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms were nice and facilities in the hotel were excellent. Breakfast had plenty of variety and good quality. We had a lovely 10 night stay and would come back in the future."

Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time everything from the transfers to and from the airport to the hotel, to the hotel itself just couldn’t fault anything. The staff couldn’t do enough for you and they were so friendly. This was the first time going all inclusive we couldn’t have chosen a better place the food was so nice and so much choice. The hotel was very clean and tidy the grounds were well maintained. We will be staying here again in the future."

Oros Luxury Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"We had a deluxe villa with own pool. It was just a shame due to staying later in the season, we did not get the sun on our loungers and the pool was very cold. (Still tried it though!!) Suite was lovely, Breakfast was good, lots of choice. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Resort is close to main road, which was a bit annoying if sitting out. Overall though, could not fault the resort. However, walked along the nearest beach, and was very disappointed with the amount of rubbish and plastic around. Shame our tourist tax isn't helping with that!!"

Alianthos Estate Resort - ex Alianthos Garden

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was amazing. The room felt new and modern, and was impeccably cleaned every day. I enjoyed the location right across the street from the beach, and close to all the shops in Plakias. I would not pay for the sea view patio again, as it was mostly a view of people’s roofs, unlike the photos online. The staff was so nice on check-in. They sat down with us and gave us fresh lemonade, which we appreciated. Later on, I had a few simple questions for the front desk and got responses from staff that were irritable and even condescending. Maybe everyone was in a bad mood since it had been raining, but in the weeks we traveled, it happened three times there, and nowhere else."

Aquila Rithymna Beach

8/10 Good

"BEAUTIFUL MAINTAINED GROUNDS. FRIENDLY HELPFUL STAFF. WE HAD A PARTIAL SEA VIEW BUNGALOW - THE VIEW WAS GOOD & BUNGALOWS ARE LOCATED IN A QUITE PART OF THE RESORT. LOVED OUR BALCONY ( RM 30). MAIN CRITICISM OF THE ROOM IS THE OVER BATH SHOWER. WHOEVER PLANNED PUTTING THE TAPS IN THE CENTRE OF THE BATH AS WELL AS THE WIRE RACK & SOAP DISPENSERS HAS NEVER TRIED TO STAND TAKING A SHOWER IN THE BATH WHILST FIGHTING THE PLASTIC SHOWER SHEET - IT IS DANGEROUS . I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW HEAVIER / LARGER PEOPLE MANAGE IT!!. RECEPTION - VERY RESPONSIVE TO ANY REQUESTS IE COFFEE NOT TOPPED UP WAS QUICKLY RESOLVED. RESORT AMENITIES: POOLS BEAUTIFUL & WELL MAINTAINED. AQUA PARK GOOD FUN. BARS/RESTAURANTS: MAIN BUFFET BREAKFAST - EXCELLENT FOOD CHOICES BUT VERY BUSY. BETTER OPTION HAVE BREAKFAST IN PERGOLA SIDE - TABLES WIDER SPACED - FEELS LESS HECTIC. LOVED THE GREEK RESTAURANT / FOOD & STAFF. AL A CARTE RESTAURANT LOVELY. BEACH BAR - LOVELY DRINKS BUT UNDER STAFFED SO SERVICE CAN BE VERY VERY SLOW!!! SERVICE AT MAIN BAR POOR WHEN ON LOWER LEVEL. FAILED TO BE SERVED OUR DRINKS ON 3 OCCASIONS WHEN ORDERED DOWNSTAIRS. RESORT IS VERY CHILD FRIENDLY. WOULD I GO BACK - PERSONALLY THINK THE AI PACKAGE IS OVERPRICED AND THE ROOMS ARE NOT REALLY 5*. IN SPITE OF THIS WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY"

Grecotel Plaza Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"We booked a room at the last minute. There will a little mix up upon arrival but the hotel upgraded us and bought us dinner to compensate us. Honestly, there was no need. The hotel was fabulous and the staff could not have been friendlier. The beach area was perfect and exactly what we wanted during our time in Greece. Rethymno is a lovely town and not nearly as busy as Chania, which made a huge difference. We would definitely go back to this hotel."

Iberostar Waves Creta Panorama & Mare

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff very helpful. Hotel lacked irons and ironing boards in the rooms Television channels were limited and tv didn’t connect to your phone. Unfortunately, there was a foul sewer smell coming from outside the room. Food offering was very good"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Maroulas?

The best area to stay in Maroulas is within the village itself, particularly around the central square and the surrounding ancient, winding streets.Maroulas is a historical village perched on a hill, offering stunning panoramic views of the Cretan Sea and the Rethymno countryside. The village is characterised by its Venetian architecture, including stone houses and two impressive Venetian towers. Its narrow, cobbled streets are largely pedestrianised, creating a very peaceful atmosphere. While small, the village has a few traditional tavernas and a mini-market for essentials. It's about a 15-minute drive to Rethymno town and its beaches.Couples looking for a tranquil and romantic escape will find Maroulas ideal. The secluded nature of the village, combined with beautiful views and historic surroundings, provides a ideal setting for relaxation. Many accommodations here are renovated stone villas, often featuring private pools and terraces, offering a luxurious and private experience. Long, leisurely evenings can be spent enjoying local cuisine at a taverna or simply admiring the sunset from your villa.Families with older children who appreciate a quiet base for exploring will also find Maroulas appealing. The village offers a calm environment away from the bustle of larger towns, and many villas provide ample space and amenities like private pools, which are superb for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.

When is the best time to go to Maroulas?

The best time to visit Maroulas is in late spring (May to early June) or early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.During late spring, the landscape is lush and green, with wildflowers blooming across the hillsides. The temperatures are comfortably warm, typically ranging from 20°C to 25°C, which is ideal for exploring the village and the surrounding countryside. This period is great for couples or solo travellers who enjoy hiking or cycling without the intense heat of mid-summer. You'll find the local tavernas and shops open, but not overly busy, allowing for a more relaxed experience.Early autumn offers similarly agreeable weather, with temperatures often between 22°C and 28°C. The sea is still warm enough for swimming, and the olive harvest begins in October, offering a unique cultural experience. This time of year is excellent for those looking to combine gentle outdoor activities with a taste of local traditions.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
