Atlantis Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location! Right on the beach in a short distance into old town. All the amenities needed and staff were so friendly and helpful."

Nalu Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with stunning rooms and genuinely attentive, friendly staff. It’s a shame the weather wasn’t great, as we couldn’t fully enjoy the lovely pools and bar area. The hotel is about a 40-minute walk from Rethymnon, which is manageable and pleasant. Despite the weather, we truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return."

Creta Royal - Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic relaxing time at Creta Royal hotel. Hotel staff were very professional and attentive. Hotel and room were spotless all areas cleaned everyday. Food was amazing both at breakfast and dinner with lots of choice for both meat eaters and vegetarians something different everyday. Desserts were also varied and enjoyable.Beach and pool areas were wonderful. Enough chairs and parasols for everyone. Bus number 20 is 2 euros into rethymno old town easy and accessible. Bus is evey hour. The old town is a must visit. Thank you to the team for the surprise birthday cake and bottle of sparkling wine it was a lovely thoughtful suprise! We are already booking our next stay in September."

Aquila Porto Rethymno

10/10 Excellent

"A good stay at the Aquila Porto Rethymno, with a good location and great sea views. The room was spacious and well-appointed with direct views over the beach and sea. Breakfast was good, with a solid range on offer. Lively location, central with easy walking access to the old town and harbour area."

Aquila Rithymna Beach

8/10 Good

"We were lucky enough to have booked a Mythica bungalow, and I couldn't recommend it enough. The private pool was cold but having the extra bit of privacy and somewhere quiet to relax with a perfect view of the beach and sea was wonderful. Being able to eat at the Eleftherna restaurant as many times as we wanted to due the plan we were on was fantastic and the highlight, with George and Syllas always looking after us! The spa and indoor pool were lovely, but when there were a couple days of rain it was full of children which disturbed the atmosphere. Also the indoor pool allegedly opens at 10am yet all the poolside loungers had gone by 9.55, I'm not sure why people were allowed to reserve like that. The outside at our bungalow would have been fine to sit at but there wasn't a solid roof covering, so everything was soaking which was a shame. Umbrellas or ponchos in the rooms would be a good idea, and just charge if they go missing like they do with the beach towels. All in all though it was fantastic, Maria was amazing and very helpful. We'd definitely like to return, but I did enjoy the quiet of the pre season and probably would prefer it to the busy period from mid May onwards! Just with more to do without noisy children around during the rainy days!"
