Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Staff took great pride in their work. Independent of what their title is."

Menta City Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and spacious. I had a lovely view from my balcony. Breakfast was also great as the staff were welcoming every morning"

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"

Paralos Irini Mare

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location is fantastic, very peaceful, with well kept and beautiful grounds. Food is excellent, staff and service equally so. Whilst the rooms are basic ours was very clean and the swim up pool, whilst shared with two other rooms, felt private. We had a wonderful ten days all inclusive, which was excellent value. We'd 100% return! Not a place to go if you're bothered about watching television 🙂"

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."

Creta Palace, A Resort to Live

8/10 Good

"Beds and pillows are soft and need to improve Coffee quality needs to be better"

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!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Schinaria?

The best areas to stay in Schinaria are directly along Schinaria Beach for direct access to the sea, or in the nearby village of Lefkogia for a more traditional Cretan experience.Schinaria Beach itself is a beautiful, pebble beach known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and excellent snorkelling opportunities. There are a few tavernas directly on the beach, offering fresh seafood and local dishes, and sunbeds are usually available for hire. This area is great for those who want to spend their days relaxing by the sea, with the convenience of amenities just steps away.Couples looking for a peaceful escape will appreciate staying right on Schinaria Beach. The evenings here are particularly quiet and romantic, with the sound of the waves and the stars overhead. It's an ideal spot for unwinding and enjoying the natural beauty of Crete without the distractions of a bustling town.For visitors who prefer a slightly more local feel with easy access to the beach, the village of Lefkogia is an excellent choice. It's just a short drive inland from Schinaria Beach, offering a glimpse into traditional Cretan life. The village has a few local shops and tavernas where you can experience authentic hospitality and cuisine.Families might find Lefkogia a good base. It provides a relaxed village setting with more space than beachside accommodation, and it's still very convenient for daily trips to Schinaria Beach for swimming and water activities.

When is the best time to go to Schinaria?

The best time to visit Schinaria is during the shoulder seasons, specifically from late April to early June or from September to early November.During these periods, the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, ideal for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities without the intense heat and larger crowds of the peak summer months. The sea is also warm enough for swimming, and you'll find a more relaxed atmosphere.For couples seeking a tranquil and romantic getaway, these months offer the great balance. You can enjoy quiet evenings at local tavernas, leisurely walks along the coast, and peaceful days by the crystal-clear waters, often with fewer families around.Families travelling with younger children might also find these times more agreeable. The milder temperatures are better for little ones, and the beaches are less crowded, making it easier to enjoy the sand and sea without feeling overwhelmed.
