Went as a couple kid free and this was such a lovely hotel. Weather was really weird but at least it was absolutely gorgeous for a couple of days. We just enjoyed the rest and relaxation to be honest. The food was fantastic, so much choice and we got to try so many different things. Breakfast was varied and dinner each night was full of flavour. If you can’t find anything you like on that vast buffet you need to give yourself a talking to. Special mention to Anna in the main restaurant , she was like a wee mother hen trying to teach us some greek hahaha, Maria in the lobby bar had good crack. Great cocktails, yes the booze and drinks are expensive but then we knew that! We saved up and had a ball. Reception staff was amazing and anything we asked was acted on immediately. I had a massage which was good (im in the industry as well and appreciate a good massage) the spa staff however were very pushy and I understand they have to upsell down at breakfast but it became a bit tedious. It felt like we had to dodge them and not make eye contact. The beach bar makes great cocktails, not so sweet that it tastes like juice so we found we sipped it a lot longer. The main pool was fabulous, clean and plenty of loungers. The water was a tad cool but we got in and loved it. Evening entertainment was a bit poor as its early in the season. Rethymno defo worth a visit, we had the best seafood and ice cream honestly so good. We found an absolute gem a wee bit down from the hotel called taverna Poppy. €4 for 500ml of housewine, needless to say went a couple of times and got quite tipsy🤣🤣🤣 What a gorgeous hotel, grounds and staff. The housekeepers are top notch and every day we felt like our room was cleaned beautifully. Clean towels every single day, nothing is too much effort. We couldn’t understand each other but we still had a laugh with the housekeeping ladies, they are truly lovely. So glad we went before real silly season starts. I felt we got the best treatment and no long waits for anything. Best holiday sofar and Crete is stunning, people friendly and just all around big spoil!

A very well run and efficient hotel.
All staff have an excellent attitude, which enhances your stay.
Dining in any of the restaurants is extremely enjoyable with ample choice of culinary delights.
The facilities are very good and whether by one of the pools or on the beach front all your needs are catered for.
The entertainment is varied, and there are always a couple of choices to choose from.
As by now, you are probably aware I would have no doubts in recommending this resort.

Loved my stay here. The hotel is in beautiful, well cared for, grounds. The food served is excellent. The staff are courteous and helpful. They were mortified when they found that our luggage had been put on a coach for the airport by mistake. So why dock a star? Well the luggage issue didn't help, drinks are too expensive, our room would have been better with a shower cubicle rather than a bath, and more charging points in the room would have been a benefit. All minor issues so only one star down.

Great hotel, ignore any negative reviews! All staff extremely helpful and always smiling which makes such a difference to the whole experience pleasant, Great spa which is free to use (treatments extra). Housekeeping excellent our room was clean and with plenty of fresh towels. Food excellent loved the Italian buffet with vey good food. The main buffet was also good with gorgeous smoothies and bread at breakfast. No issues with bugs, we stayed in September. Grounds very well maintained and beautiful. Rooms a little dated with it enough plug sockets and drinks expensive if not all inclusive. The fact that water is charged at dinner was disappointing but small supermarket if you turn right outside the hotel solved the issue. W

Beautiful clean hotel set in wonderful grounds. Set out like a mini village with various pools and free to use Spa and steam rooms. Good selection of food and onsite restaurants. The hotel is right on a private beach with views right around the cost to Rethmnon. Lovely stay.

Me and my girlfriend just got done visiting the Aquila Beach Hotel. Overall we had a fantastic stay. The food was amazing, the facilities are so nice and the rooms are excellent and clean. I would 100% recommend it to anyone but there is a few things I would watch out for. We were half board so this only applies if you’re staying half board but the main restaurant is free for breakfast and dinner and you can go to the Italian restaurant on site for 1 night when you feel like a change. That is your only options don’t be fooled into the themed nights that are at the Taverna restaurant by the big pool as we found out. These are paid for which is fine but we weren’t told that we went to the restaurant, we had a meal and then found out at the end of our trip on the bill it was an additional €20 per head. We were happy to pay it as it was a lovely evening but was very annoyed that this hadn’t been told to us and also the concierge at reception said to us well even if you weren’t told we’d have a signed receipt in the back for it which he then failed to produce after we asked him to show it to us. If you didn’t know this and decided to eat there 3 or 4 nights out the week you could easily end up with a €150+ bill on your room charge when you leave. Additionally the drinks are expensive I would limit drinks out to a minimum, roughly around €7.00 a beer and €10.00 a glass of wine. There is a shop onsite or even outside the hotel where if you want to get soft drinks and things you can during the day outside the hotel is much cheaper though.

Other than that fantastic holiday and highly recommend the Italian at the hotel it was super.

Beautiful hotel. If you are sun worshipers, then this is the place. About 20 minutes by bus to town. Food very good and grounds lovely. The beach is stoney so need shoes to walk into the sea. A few activities but not much else to do.

We recently stayed at the Aquila Rithymna Hotel, and unfortunately, our experience was far from what we had hoped for. Despite being advertised as a family-friendly hotel, it did not cater well to families with young children.The family pool area was particularly problematic. The lifeguard made up her own set of overly restrictive rules, requiring our child to wear armbands and a life jacket even while we were in the shallow end teaching them to swim. No inflatables or ball games were not allowed, which made it difficult to keep our child entertained. The larger pool did allow inflatables, but with no shallow end, it wasn’t suitable for our 3-year-old. To top it off, the lifeguard’s attention was sporadic at best, and we witnessed a near-drowning incident when she was nowhere to be found. Additionally, we were disappointed to find charges added to our bill for mini-bar items we did not use on 2 occasions, the charges were removed by the reception after lenghty uncomfortableconversation. The red flag on the beach was up for most of our stay, meaning we couldn’t enjoy the sea, and with the restrictive pool rules, we were left with very little to do. The drinks were also incredibly expensive, and the entertainment was sparse and poorly organized. Overall, this hotel did not live up to its family-friendly reputation, and we left feeling frustrated and disappointed. For the high cost, we expected much more. Unfortunately, we would not recommend this hotel for families with young children. On the positive notes, spa is beautiful and sunsets too.

Best bed I have EVER slept in. Really large room for a family of 3 and very clean. We loved the pools (there is a choice of 3), food and activities (water zumba, scuba diving, para sailing, yoga, volley ball and cooking class) on offer. The Italian restaurant was our favourite with a different menu each night. We met two amazing staff members - Stelios and Aggeliki who truly looked after us. It over looks the beach with stunning sun sets. We took a day trip to the south of the island, although we were torn to leave the hotel and pools. Would highly recommend this to families who love water, sun and great food.

It was an enjoyable experience and I found there were a lot of activities to take part in. The only thing I would say is there has been a few incidents where I have found pork in items where it hasn't said so. No issue with the cuisine, just better labelling please for those who have certain religious and dietary restrictions
