5 star hotels in Rethymno

We absolutely loved this place. The welcome was outstanding with just the right amount of information. The activities were discrete, really great and kid's club spot on. Family disco was well handled and the Saolin Acrobats out of this world. The staff were immaculately friendly, polite and engaged even though our stay was the very last week of the season. Our room was well looked after all week. It...

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Grecotel! Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite, and it exceeded all our expectations. The room was simply fantastic—spacious, beautifully designed, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The extra room in the suite was a game-changer, giving us a comfortable space to relax while our baby was sleeping. We couldn't have asked...

Me and my family love this hotel. It is probably the best family vacation we have had so far. It is a little pricey, but it's totally worth it. The food is delicious and the location is excellent! If anything, I'll probably recommend improving the kids pool area. Other than that, everything was great.

This hotel is a true gem! Suitable for all generations - a lot of activities for families with children, as well as lovely options for couples including nice dining spots and cocktails. The beach is large with plenty of sunbeds, great service at the Beach bar as well. Attention to details is absolutely amazing - especially when it comes to Housekeeping and room cleaning. Beautiful towel decoration...

Lovely service, great space, beautiful view. The beach/sea isn’t the nicest for Greek standards but it’s still quite lovely. It’s deep so not ideal with toddlers/ young kids. I would have loved some traditional Cretan food options in one of the restaurants and a few more options for food at the beach. The staff were delightful and rooms were kept very clean throughout our stay.

Staff and food are excellent. Hotel is clean and beautiful. Rooms are good but there are little ants in the room. The other negative point is that neither the outdoor restaurant nor the indoor spaces are air conditioned. You are all in sweat while dining. For half board package you should pay for all drinks even for water. No daily water in the room. The beach is rocky, you need shoes to enter the...

We enjoyed our stay here. The buffet breakfast and dinner were excellent. We are vegan and could always find healthy options. The staff are very professional and helpful. We also enjoyed the private beach.

The location is good, offering easy access to the charming town of Rethymnon, with its sites and vibrant atmosphere, 30 minutes from Old town by foot. The hotel is situated right on the beachfront, where the crystal-clear waters provide a perfect setting for sunbathing and swimming. The service and hospitality at Atlantis Beach Hotel are exceptional. The staff are friendly, attentive, and go above...

This was by far the best hotel that we have ever stayed in. The location is excellent- a 25min walk into the old town down the beach, passing shops, cafes and restaurants. The rooms are lovely, very spacious, very modern, air conditioned and comfortable beds. We had a sea view room which was outstanding. Walking up in a morning to the ocean and the most amazing sunrises that we have ever seen....

Stayed for 11nights at this wonderful hotel. Where do I start! Reception staff were so helpful. The staff at the restaurant are amazing so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them, Always served with a smile. Breakfast was great there was absolutely anything you wanted. We stayed a few times for dinner at the hotel. Delicious food!! every night is buffet but different food every night. One...

Wonderful hotel with amazing staff!! We had a wonderful stay in June 2024. The staff go above and beyond for their guests, so friendly and so so helpful and will do anything to ensure your stay is perfect. The hotel is modern, and rooms are beautiful. The food is amazing, which is usually hard to find when booking hotels with board included, but this wasn't the case here, dinner was fantastic every...

Excellent service , it’s clean the crew are very friendly and helpful to our needs. Thank you to olga and angelina and the rest of the crew! I recommend this hotel for a great stay !❤️

We had a pleasant stay. Reception and concierge service was good. We made certain arrangements in advance of our arrival (car hire and a guide for a specialist trip). The recommendations were spot on. Breakfast was also good. It was buffet style, like the evening meals. We did not eat in the restaurant in the evening partly because it was a buffet and partly because there was a good selection of restaurants...

Friends are staying here so just drinks at the bar but clean and modern setting. Staff pleasant and receptive

Very nice hotel, I can't rate the food due to not eating at the premises, as we prefer to eat out when we're on holiday.

The hotel is situated in a very good location. The hotel staff are great. The staff in the dining area are wonderful. The cooking staff are awesome. I hope I have her name correct, because I really want to give a huge thank you to Evanggelina, she was amazing. The hotel is very clean and in a perfect location. Far enough from the tourist traps, but also close enough to walk to the old town. The beach...

Lovely 5 star hotel. Staff all friendly and more than happy to help. Lovely pools and beach side location. Also very clean rooms just keep tidy or the cleaners will do it for you.

This is surely a hotel that I won't forget quickly, in a good sense that is, at arrival we got taken care of our luggage who came to take it to our rooms, we got seated and welcomed with a glass of orange juice and a fresh towel. Furthermore a holiday concierge explained to us what was where in the hotel and so on, which was quite nice. Our room was good, not overwhelmingly good but it was good. The...

I stayed in this hotel for a week mid-August and it was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had! Obviously, the rooms have everything you need and are very clean and modern. But I strongly suggest booking a room with a pool view, where you can enjoy an evening or two on the balcony. The food is delicious. We had different menus every day and the choice was just perfect, not too much and not too little...

I was here for a week on holiday. It was my first time in Greece and it was beautiful! The food and drinks were delicious! The service over all was great. I want to thank all the staff and employees for their hard work and kindness. Especially the bartenders from the pool bar. God bless you all! 🙏🏼 ~ Rafael Frolov

(De Engels tekst van mijn review heb ik gekopieerd van mijn man, het Nederlands is mijn aanvulling.) This hotel has a nice appearance and very friendly staff. Er is één mevrouw bij de receptie die zelfs Nederlands spreekt. Our room (nummer 217, 😊) is well sized with private balcony, airco and jacuzzi. It is all kept clean daily, including making the beds door twee lieve dames. Sometimes we could hear...

We stayed in June in this hotel. Hotel is on excellent location, 5km to town Retimno. Renovated and nice looking hotel. Little minus is rooms, they are little spaced bud still manageable. Every day they clean the rooms, everything it's tidy and clean. There is a crib for the baby, and you can ask kitchen staff to cook specially for the baby. Staff is amazing! Food is so delicious and variety of food...

Amazing stay at Hotel Minos Mare! Nice hotel, good food and great service, especially bartenders Stavros and Savas. Amazing people, amazing memories, great time! Greetings from Adrian, Mark and Mario.

Very nice hotel. Lovely food and great location especially for the beach. Very relaxing hotel, if you want to just relax and chill I’d recommend. 2 separate hotels however which isn’t specified anywhere so only 1 pool can be used as the other one is for a different hotel. Staff is lovely however only one staff member ruined our stay with was the lady at the pool bar with dark hair. Very rude and...

Sophia from reception was so lovely and helpful! The airline lost our luggage on the mainland, and she kindly offered to handle everything for us, calling the airline and organising for our luggage to be flown to us and we had our clothes by that night. Such great service. Food was great too. We will stay longer next time.

My fiance and I came here on our summer vacation. The hotel is beautiful and we were greeted warmly by the staff with a complimentary welcome drink. The rooms are big and spacious. The maids come twice a day to clean and change towels and bedding. During our stay, my fiance who is pregnant, and I got sick. The staff automatically ran to help us with anything we needed. The chef specifically made...

This is a brilliant hotel in many respects. Service, rooms and cleanliness are impeccable. However, the one draw back is the food which during our stay has at times inedible, mostly over cooked, tasteless and cold. The breakfast buffet does not fair much better, cheap thinly sliced cheese and meat, stale looking pastries and from the hot buffet, wet looking bacon, sausages etc. we paid for half board...

Hotel: I had a delightful stay at Minos Ambassador on the beautiful island of Crete. Our room was consistently neat and impeccably clean. The hotel staff proved to be exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooftop restaurant staff, in particular, were incredibly courteous, and the dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. With the exception of the Asian-themed evening...

This is a nice hotel but it’s not 5 star. The pool facilities are a bit lacking - not loads of sun beds and the pool isn’t heated so it was freezing. It was a lot warmer swimming in the sea! The room was nice but not quite on the level of the hotel photos. You also had to pay to use the sauna and steam room which is a bit stingy considering we were guests of the hotel. We had booked half board but...

We were upgraded from the Minos Hotel to the Ambassador accross the street. Everything is new, the staff is great and the location is nice. Rooftop bar and restaurant. The only downside was that the SPA was not yet opperational, but since we were not supposed to have access to it in the first place it was not a problem.

What a truly wonderful stay we had in Atermono. The staff were so kind and caring, true attention to detail. The room was very comfy, only thing to fault is not enough hanging space for towels in the bathroom. Super comfy bed, delicious buffet breakfast, heavenly rooftop pool, direct access to the beach and more! The infinity pool is amazing, so refreshing and Relaxing. Cafe Ammo’s next door was fab...

I would highly recommend staying at the Atermono Boutique Resort. The staff went above and beyond making us feel right at home and all of them were extremely welcoming, friendly & always approachable. The location is perfect as it’s only a short distance from the old town and the hotel is practically on the beach! The views were incredible from every angle and the hotel is absolutely gorgeous!

A unique and amazing experience in Atermono hotel! Everything was just perfect. The hotel is new and luxury, the rooms are perfectly clean. The hotel is seating on a beautiful and relaxed beach, the infinity pool is amazing. The breakfast is one of the best we ever had. Above all- the staff in the hotel is extremely helpful, nice, friendly and make you feel at home. We've been here for a week and...

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...

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...

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.

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

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...

Beautiful location.Hotel excellent.service excellent. Tea coffee making facility in room but after milk cartons pots used none replaced. Paying half board we paid for our drinks which were expensive so we bought water alcohol in the bars outside of hotel. Not being tight but just out of principle.i would not pay treble the price for drinks. The entertainment could have been better but we all have different...

Very nice environment, excellent for kids. Tasty breakfast and relaxing villas with 1.40 m. private pool. Perfect for a weekend or more!

There isnt enoufe words to descrive our vacation in carme Villas. The place is amazing!! Thank You. For an amazing vacation

Amazing villas with a gorgeous view of the area ..very nice service and private pool..highly recommended

Love the vacation in those villas..great place..beautiful villas and pools...very clean..great view...and ideal place to travel around

Only day 2 but loving it here. Setting is beautiful and so quiet yet you are only a 2 minute car ride from the beech and various restaurants. The owners are lovely and lay on a top breakfast. Yet to sample the evening meals but there are 12 days to go :-) Just nipped down to the on-site al fresco bar for a swift G&T before bed ..... Loving it!

Awesome experience Came as a big group, which is not always easy The hotel and rooms were absolutely perfect, the staff is one you would want to have in every hotel you visit. Congratulate only one member wouldn’t be fair to all the others. I definitely recommend

We arrived to this wonderful hotel fully expecting a 5 star experience and it delivered in every way! Location was superb. Staff were amazing. Food was fantastic. We were upgraded to a two story villa on the beach, which was a wonderful surprise. The pool is top notch and the aqua aerobics classes were super fun!

This was our second time to visit this wonderful hotel. I never leave reviews and the only other review I have ever written was for this hotel. It’s hard to put your finger on it but this hotel is exceptional in every way. The staff are all such wonderful people (kind, caring considerate, fabulous with children). We felt relaxed from the moment we arrived. The hotel is small and personable, the rooms...

This hotel deserves every star if not more! From the moment our family set foot in this place, we were treated with the utmost welcome and warmth one could imagine. The ambience, rooms, food, and amenities are superior. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and looked after. They also have a wonderful group fitness instructor who ran aqua fitness, strength and Pilates training. The...

Spend 12 days this June in this beautiful resort. Expectations were high, but what we got was well beyond that. From the moment we got there, all was perfect. Beautiful beach with all the service you will expect, great room with views to both the pool and the sea side, great room service. The food was perfect. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, all were very good. Thank you CHEF! We will remember meeting...

We were so happy to stay at Carmel Greco hotel resort for our honeymoon! From the moment we arrived on the campus, we were greeted by several smiling faces and an excellent service staff. The check-in process was excellent, and the rooms were comfortable. Although they were clean, they were slightly outdated. The pool was immaculate, large resort style salt water, and the beach was well maintained...

Perfect hotel. The food is so nice and full fill my expectations for this level. Luxurious feeling. The beach is nice with some rocks.

PROS: Great atmosphere of hotel. Very polite, willing and profesional staff. Good food with many variations. CONS: Rooms need some maintenence (leaking water, toilet in not good condition, wardrobe opening problems, etc.). The room was noisy, constatly annoying sounds from air conditioning pipelines. Even when we have closed balcony, we heard loud sounds from the road next to hotel. The stay wasn...

The hotel is very good. Everything was perfect. We have little bit trouble with the air conditioning. Sometimes was too loud. The staff was perfect, mainly men in the bar. They were very nice and did great drinks. I really recommended this hotel for people who want to experienced romantic atmosphere, great food and nice place.

There are plenty of good rooms and very good service. They treat you very well. The beach is with rocks so you need to have swimming shoes. The pool is moderate, but very good. Not so many chairs for lying down near the swimming pool. Based on the number of rooms they need to add more. It's my first day here, but if you're bored with the sea and pool, you can rent a car and drive around the island...

There is no air conditioning in the room ( it is on the wall, but doesnt work) it is impossible to sleep at night. I talked to the reception several times, despite my requests, they didn't do anything about it

It is nice, not big hotel, with pool and view to the sea, very clean. Staff was friendly and kind, always with smile, The room was spacious and pleasent. Thank you Rethymno Palace

Visited here April 2022, it was quite possibly one of the most beautiful hotels ever. Recently opened and very luxurious for how much I paid. Sadly it is not as affordable now, so wouldn’t visit it again.

We were a couple of days at the "White Palace." From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience! Arrival: We arrived relatively early but were able to check into our room immediately. To our surprise, we received a room upgrade to a villa with a private pool. What a great surprise! Food: The food was fantastic. At the buffet restaurant, you can eat without a reservation at lunch and dinner. The...

Excellent hotel, we had a beautiful swim up room which was memorable for its views and set up. The pool areas are very nice and the hotel is clean and very modern. Food on the whole was decent with a good selection of restaurants. Drinks in the bars and restaurants are excellent but they were very hit and miss by the pools, some were not drinkable.

Our stay at the Grecotel White Palace in Crete was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding – the staff was incredibly attentive, always going above and beyond to make sure every request was met with ease and efficiency. It felt like no ask was too big, and everything was done with a smile. They absolutely made the birthday surprise perfect. The hotel itself...

Had a great experience here. At first I was a bit disappointed by the relatively small pool, lack of activities, dated buildings and rooms, but after the second day all that was in the past as the hotel continued to impress with its hospitality, variety and service. Great, friendly staff who anticipate all your needs (thank you, Nikolai, you’re the best!), wonderful diverse food in each of the many...

It's a nice hotel for adults that are seeking a pool vacation - the pools are nice with animation and music. Service is great, rooms are clean and nice (although air conditioning cannot be programmed to temp, only to speed...), the hotel is not wide spread at all, hence not much green. The beach is very small and thin, nor inviting at all, but the pools make up for it - there is even a sun protected...

Second time staying here, lovely helpful staff. Plenty to choose form at breakfast. We didn't have evening meal as ate out. Although couple of negatives was slow in setting up tables, and closing the pool early. Beach 5 mins walk, lots of surrounding bars on sea front, Walk or take a bus outside hotel to Old Town.

Easygoing hotel, with good access to amenities locally, short distance to beach, restaurants, good access for taxis and pickup locations for excursions. Room was clean, large and air conditioned. Standard buffet fare, with lots of different options for breakfast and dinner. Opportunities to practice Greek but for when that runs out the majority of staff are fluent English speakers.

Not quite a full 5 stars but worth a shout. Clean and competitively priced.Oil’s far better inside that the outer first impression from the main road Rooms are on the small side and bathrooms compact. But, all clean and the hotel boasts several pools and a good restaurant. One things is the Hotel has a good cross section of visitors, always a good sign. Not for the younger guest, teenagers would find...

Don't be put off by corridors, they are a little shabby but the rooms are fabulous, we had a suite thanks to a free upgrade. Fruit, wine and baguettes were left for us, welcome after a late arrival. Easy check in thanks to an app. Spotlessly clean, clean towels daily, bed changed half way through the week. Free WiFi throughout, free safe. The pool areas are clean and tidy a nice area to relax...

We have been in Minos Hotel on vacation. This is just an great hotel. When we arrived the manager poured us a drink while we checked in, immediately making us feel welcome. Even the first day we were surprised in a perfect way when they gave us upgrade from double room to suite apartment for the same price an when we open the door from room there was one more surprise - champagne, wine and fruit for...

Minos Aparthotels is such a great home 🏠 when you are away from home 🏠 the (new apartments) have such modern large showers and bathrooms, the spacious balconies are amazing to have evening cocktails and dinners. The bedroom is a proper size and the lounge / dining area with the kitchenette is perfect when on holiday. We booked two apartments for 2 adults and 2 kids (20&15) well I guess they are adults...

Excellent hotel on the sea front. Just a bit of a pity that the beach area was a bit lacking for such a quality hotel.

Probably the best sea view restaurant in Retimno, the staff are very welcoming, the food is delicious, highly recommend to visit if you are in Retimno

Absolute pleasure. The property is right on the sea, with waves constantly crashing in. The water: pristine, clear. The room was beautiful, with a bath tub next to the bed upstairs. And you always look out to the sea. The staff always courteous. To top it off, the food in the restaurant was some of the best I've had anywhere in the world. Very grateful to have experienced it.

Absolute pleasure. The property is located right on the beach, where the waves are constantly breaking. Water: pure, transparent. The room was beautiful with a bathroom next to the bed upstairs. And you always look at the sea. The staff is always polite. To top it off, the restaurant food was some of the best in the world. Thank you very much for experiencing this.

Four days of dreams in this cozy luxury hotel. The duplex room with sea view is great. The staff is attentive and offers quality food at a very affordable price. Thanks to the whole hotel team, we will be back! Corinne and Jean-Marc Ravat

Wow, this was a great place to stay! Everything is new and functional, the photos are all representative. Very friendly staff, super comfy bed, hot water, quiet room and great breakfast with fresh stuff! The food (dinner) at the restaurant was great! Blimey...

I would have given this hotel a higher rating but my sister and I both had terrifying experiences here (in separate rooms on separate floors) where the maintenance man let himself into our rooms without giving us any notice while we were unaccompanied by our partners. Even though I had locked the door from the inside & put the do-not-disturb sign on. I was undressed & got a big fright. However, my...

I want really recommended hotel Bio Suites. Hotel Staff was perfect i very helpful. Room are very comfortable and very clean. Food is delicious. It was very good holiday. Thank You.

Just returned from a 7 days stay in Bio Suits Hotel and it was amazing. The apartment was super clean with all the necessary accomodations you can think of. Great food, amazing wine, beautiful pool, exciting live evening shows and most of all great and gracious staff. I absolutely loved it!

I had a great time. The food was very tasty,rooms pretty spacious and the shower was absolutely amazing with very good water pressure and big cabin. Very nice people in the staff!

Nice hotel. Line 2. The beach is close. Wi fi on site and the beach. Excellent the geography of the hotel. Within walking distance of the Fortezza, the old town, the promenade, port. The hotel is fully correspond to its stars. The evening show. Food and drinks are of excellent quality. The staff is friendly and caring.

While fresh memories. The place a claim to 4. Well, I don't understand how it is possible for water at the dinner is paid extra to take , that's not very nice and ugly. Well, smile when you pay. Maid service is good, but not regular. She would have, but there is no miss. Wi Fi is decent, the location is great, close to the beach. A normal hotel. Then I will add more.

Nice people working there.

We had a really great week at this hotel! The staff were excellent, really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent every morning with a good selection of local foods alongside staples. The pool and beach were both really great, it is next to a road that you have to cross to get to the beach but it was never busy enough to be problem. We both had fantastic massages in their wellness centre...

The stay at Plaza Beach was a fantastic experience. The staff were polite and the room was cleaned regularly. The staff were approachable and provided a professional service. We had paid for half board so we saw them twice a day at least. Reception staff were helpful when the transfer was not confirmed by my travel agency.

My favorite hotel forever. The location is absolutely breathtaking, directly across the sea. You can have a nice walk to Rethymno city along the beach from here.I really recommend the breakfast buffet, they also accommodate dietary restrictions. Staff is as friendly as usual in Greece, from housekeeping to waiters and receptionists. Very kid-friendly. I will definitely keep coming back. In my opinion...

Great hotel situated on a quiet road across from the beach. It had a friendly, calm, family atmosphere and was very clean with rooms made up daily. Breakfast was yummy with plenty of options including plenty of Greek and Cretan options. The hotel provided sunbeds on the beach and beach towels. Nearby was some great family tavernas, bakeries, a decent supermarket and a good car hire place that we used...

Me and my family visited this hotel last week.When I arrived I was not happy with the room and they kindly changed it .Apartments were not to my liking dark not enough chairs no couch.It was a very strange configuration.Bed was lovely and comfortable. Location was amazing and view spectacular but not many apartments had sea view.Having the beach across the road was great. Staff were lovely very helpful...

Beautiful hotel set up like a village right on the beach. Close to the old town and lots of places to eat nearby. Clean and super friendly and hardworking staff. They have their own private parking space for the rental car. Breakfast is superb! The service on the beach is also great. Foods en drinks can be ordered. 1 small minus, the gym should not actually be called a gym, far too few options. But...

The entire staff of this hotel needs to be commended. Friendly, helpful, courteous and most of all went out of their way to assure we had everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was amazing. The location was perfect right across the street from the beach. We had a parking space directly in front of the hotel. I cannot say enough good things about it.

Located right on the beach. 15 minutes from the old town. Clean rooms. Quite large. Comfortable bed. Small swimming pool. Good experience in total.

Swell Boutique Hotel is the perfect place for those who like comfortable, clean and quiet rooms with a stunning sea view; breakfast rich and diverse; the beach just a few steps away... But the main reason why you should visit this hotel is the staff. They will welcome and pamper you with the effortless smile.

We stayed in June and are just now getting around to writing our review. The staff was so professional, kind, and friendly! Everything was beautiful- the rooms, the views- everything! The front desk people couldn't have been nicer. Oh, don't let me forget to mention the incredible food. Parking was a bit tricky, but we would still stay there again a thousand times over. We'd recommend Swell to anyone...

The hotel was nice and clean. Good air-condition and lovely service. Nice view from the balcony. The staff are all very nice and will greet you with a smile The bar has many good drinks, and the bartenders will try to make other drinks if you ask for it. The restaurant also has good food and the breakfast is heavenly with lots of food to choose from. It's also very close to the beach and other restaurants...

Personally for me, the quality of the Wi-Fi was crucial, first of all, as I planned to work remotely from room. It was great and stable, about 30 Mb/s. The beach exceeded all my expectations, the sea looked like an ocean. A few words about stuff. This is really a team of professionals! Any of our questions were resolved very quickly and in the most polite and friendly manner.

Excellent hotel. We had a the best sea view from our room. Reception is kind and very helpful. Highly recommended:)

Almost a week in paradise! We stayed at North Coast Seaside Luxury Suites in June 2024, and it became our HQ and recharging station for trips around the island. We fell in love with the apartment from the online photos (especially the kitchen – crucial for us!), and the balcony with a sea view was everything we dreamed of. Every morning, we lived the ‘breakfast with orange juice on the balcony’ clich...

A beautiful location by the sea, 30 minutes' walk from the old town of Rethymno. We booked 2 rooms for 4 people, but their system showed only 2 people. It was a Booking error, and they weren't very cooperative, charging us for breakfast for the 'extra' guests. We had to resolve it with Booking. Our room near the street was noisy. The Cretan breakfast omelette was watery, and the bread soaked it up...

We stayed at this hotel for two nights while visiting Rethymnon town. It's located right in front of Koumbes Beach, alongside other holiday homes. The suite was very new and well-maintained. We had a room on a higher floor facing the main road, which could be a bit noisy with the balcony door open. The property has a lift, making it easy to move our luggage. There's an open carpark with a small entrance...

The most wonderful people run this place! My stay at North Coast was supposed to be my 3rd visit to Crete just this summer. To give you some context - previously I stayed at Ikones and then Anemos. I got fed up with the rat race at big resorts and wanted to try something different. Once, while driving towards Galera (my favorite restaurant in town), we passed by the beautiful sparkling new building...

Nice place to stay; seaview is breathtaking, appartment looks nice(a coffee machine would really make it top)

We spent a wonderful week at this hotel. Service was immaculate, staff so friendly and helpful. The best place to visit Rethymno. On the edge of the old town, everything within walking distance. I have no doubts about my choice and I strongly recommend it to everyone. Σας ευχαριστώ, σας ευχαριστώ για τη θαυμάσια φιλοξενία 😁

This place is perfect in many ways. Voula is a very nice host and makes you feel at home. The rooms are very complete and have comfortabel beds. Very good breakfast! The location is the best in the old city, close to everything. Parking is included on a private parkinglot. Great stay! Crete is wunderfull.

What a wonderful small hotel. Hospitality fantastic. Service fantastic. Staff fantastic. Situated just at the edge of the old town this beautiful Venetian residence is perfectly located. The staff are excellent and always available and very helpful. We will return. This hotel is a credit to the owners 10/10 👍

Very nice hotel in an appropriate location. It also offered parking for our car!! Definitely recommend it!

This is a very good choice for adults🥰 The rooms are big and bright, the breakfast is super fresh and truly amazing, with good variety of warm food, fruits from the owners own garden, and homemade cakes and jams every day! You eat breakfast outside in the common area next to the pool. The owners and staff is simply adorable and so helpful! The rooms come with a safe and a mini kitchen with a fridge...

Good place to stay if you are traveling by car. Parking next to the palazzo, quiet courtyard. really homely atmosphere. the fortress and the old town are nearby, noisy streets are far away. Opposite is the police station, which is good in principle - calm! Lived on the ground floor and was not at all disappointed.

I did not stay at this hotel, just been to their beach and they got the most friendly and serviceminded staff at the beach. If possible, I would give 10 stars for their effort to make every guest feel good at the beach. Special big Thank to Georgios.. We were met with a big smile every day, and they helped us with sunbeds, drinks and free water to make sure we did not dehydrate in the sun. I have...

It was our third stay in the hotel and we really enjoyed. A special thanks to the kind Sophia serving our cappuccino every evening. The massages in the hotel spa are also very good and the spa ladies are very nice. We enjoyed Noras daily Yoga sessions so much. She is one of the reasons we return every year. We saw here dancing and would love to see a Salsa Show in the evening entertainment of our...

We spent two weeks in Odyssia Beach Hotel in Late July and Early August. Most guests during that time were german-speaking with occassional french and dutch guests. As everything in life, the hotel has it´s strength and weaknesses. To the good sides belong an excellent gastronomy, as well as a friendly service (at least outside of the reception area). The weaknesses of the hotel are mostly tied to...

Stunning. Exciting hotel. Everything is dedicated to the guests. We never met such a gently and polite people which are oriented to the guests service. This is place with excellent beach, shop inside the property with a prices as in the city. Rooms are clean, big and a see view with the sunset is stunning. We traveled a lot around the globe but such a hospitality like in Odyssia Beach we never had...

I've stayed several times at the Odyssia Beach and I return because the staff are so welcoming and helpful, the location is on the beach with a superb beach bar and restaurant. Great for families too with a children's pool and you don't have to cross a road to access the beach. There's also a good bus service into Rethymnon and lots of bars, restaurants, and hotels in Missiria. It's a gem of a hotel...

We stayed here for five days and all the staff were so welcoming and eager to please, we felt right at home. There is a beach right across the road which was lovely. Our room was basic but clean, the showers were quite cold but with the hot weather this wasn't much of an issue! The pool was a bit green and murky, we did swim but maybe not as often as we would have liked as it could have been cleaner...

The place is very good, quiet, for familly with children - amazing place. The staff always smiling, polite and friendly. Rooms are clean. Food is very tasty. One thing - the could be more fruit variety. That's the only minus from us :) thank you for amazing holidays!

Very kindfull staff, everybody was so helpfull and the team at the reception gave us a very good feeling!

A few weeks ago my family and I stayed at solimar emerald. We chose it because of its proximity to the beautiful city of Rethymnon while the sea is directly opposite the hotel. We were impressed by the calm that prevails throughout the day. The rooms are very large and I consider it to be one of the cleanest hotels we have ever been to. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful while the food...

I stayed there for 7 days. It was a pleasant stay with minor problems, for example wifi was terrible - signal strength and reach was weak. Food was tasty and diverse for this standard. The best thing about the place were the people working there, mutual respect goes a long way :)

Great service. The hotel is located literally in the middle of nowhere so renting a car is a must. Rooms were cleaned everyday, food was great. A/C worked without a flaw.

The hotel has a very nice and friendly staff and so is the manager, Christine, who is very kind and understanding. We have had a very nice stay so far and everything has been so smooth. The room is very big and has also a big balcony with a nice sea view. The breakfast is also very nice and tasty and so is the staff, which is also super helpful. The hotel has different kind of facilities, but because...

Beautiful view. Lovely little beach opposite the hotel, used by locals. 15 minute walk to old town for restaurants. Really nice pool area. Decor a little tired in one of the room but the terrace, the view and the equipment was perfect for us. We were on top floor, so did not hear the road too much. Would recommend.

Had a very pleasant stay with them early in September to sort out some business. We arrived early, and not only were we allowed to check in early, we also got a free upgrade to another suite. The suite hat a living room with open kitchen, and a sleeping room separated from it. Both rooms had access to a quite large terrace with seating and vice of the sea and Fortezza. The bathroom and toilet were...

We got an upgrade to a fabulous 2-bed suite with lovely sea view. Lovely pool, friendly staff and good food. Pity we only stayed one night here, will stay longer next time.

Amazing suites with private, sun lounge, Jacuzzi, bathtub, and sea view. Huge room with kitchen dinning area, leaving room and sofa bed. Bed room is spacious with big glass door and sea view. Hotel staff are friendly and professional. Location is very convenient. Highly recommended.

Vacationing family.2018.very cool!hotel 5 balls!near the beach with good sand, is the breakwater,even if the sea is stormy and there are very good curtise!monogamous next kofeshek,delicious food,very friendly people,are all lovely.Yes I want to be back!!!!

The room was very clean and tidy when we arrived. All appliances seem to work as well as toilets,sinks and shower. The extra bathroom downstairs is nice to have ! It's been super quiet outside so far! I would recommend this place to stay.

We are 1/2 way through our stay and all has gone well. The staff is courteous and reacted quickly to resolve any issues brought up. Front desk person was pleasant and informative. Practicing your Greek would be an asset but most everywhere English is handled well,... after all, it's good for business and the locals know it. 😏 Parking would be the only ongoing discomfort as you are on your own to find...

Overall a nice (and large) resort nearby the cute town of Rethymno. Location is great, close to the beach and lots of shops/restaurants. The pools (multiple), restaurant, bar, and coffee bar were great. Service at these venues were top notch - the wait staff was great. The property in common areas is overall well maintained. The first room we were in was too small for 5 people, so we moved to a bigger...

wonderful hotel neat and clean apartments. the beds are comfortable and it's like you being in a small village. the staff are very friendly and helpful and work hard to please the guests. the location is good nice shops good restaurants when you cross the street you are almost on the beautiful beach we had a really great stay and we will definitely come back

Thank you so much for the wonderful service! The host/receptionist lady (hopefully manager because she's really good) was so wonderful, made our stay even better. Wish we could thank you again in person but if you're reading this, thank you. We hope to see you again!! We fell in love with Crete as a whole, the culture, the people and the food. Grand Leoniki Residence gave us the true Crete Experience...

A boutique hotel in a renovated Venetian building. It looks like we're living in history. Love the exposed beams on the roofs. The bed is very comfortable. The host is warm and welcoming. The place could be better insulated to sound, but with a historical building, I am sure there are limitations. The location is excellent. There are no elevators, so not ideal for people with mobility issues.

Nice, family owned, tranquil hotel located in the old town, walking distance to everywhere. Has a nice restaurant attached which serves a variety of taste dishes. Supermarket 5 min walk from hotel. No elevator and some of the stairs are steep - the higher you are the better the view but the steeper the staircase.

Our stay couldn't be better. The hotel is really charming and very well located. We've never been so warmly welcomed as by our lovely receptionist. The staff was helpful beyond any expectations. I'm really looking forward to coming back. Thank you! (Aleksandra - Sofoklis)

The hotel is very clean and in the center of Rethymno. You gonna go Everywhere by foot. All the staff was very helpful and polite. Make sure you check out the hotel restaurant as well!!

A little gem in the heart of the town. What a wonderful hotel so full of history and character and so well preserved. The family who run it are wonderful and couldn't have been more helpful. The breakfasts were amazing and we felt thoroughly spoilt! The pool although small was so refreshing in the heat of the day, and the courtyard a lovely place to relax amongst the pretty flowers and plants. The...

I really enojyed the location of this establishment and the decoration. The people working there are also extremely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we were not able to sleep. While the bed was comfortable, there was no sound isolation. We could hear partygoers until 4am as if we were sleeping on the street. I would recommend this place to anyone who actually wants to go party until late in the...

A wonderful place, perfectly located in the heart of the old town of Rethymno. Charming facilities and very friendly staff.

Great hotel. Lovely people. Amazing breakfast but the suite we had did not have any ventilation in the bathroom and the windows open to the corridor where people walk through.

The venue, location, and the people are wonderful. Very impressed with the friendly and helpful nature of the staff and the owners. It is located right in the middle of the beautiful old town area with tons of shopping and food. The ambiance is wonderful and the room type and quality is very good. They have a beautiful courtyard with a small pool, where you can relax and enjoy. The breakfast and...

Lovely nice little boutique hotel with very friendly staff and the best chocolate brownies for breakfast! :) It's in the very centre of Rethymnon, so if you're on car expect some walking. The staff will help you, though, we chose the easiest way - the marina parking. Although in the centre, it was pretty quiet. There is also a lovely small swimming pool on site. Highly recommended!

The most amazing and peaceful hotel in the heart of the old town.Tastefully decorated and with the most helpful and friendly staff ever!Highly recommended!

This is the most perfect place to stay and it's a home from home. No words can describe the joy you have being here

Great place to stay! The decoration is awesome, the room was spacious and elegant. The stuff was very friendly.

We had an amazing vintage room(1couple)! Two floor apartment with balcony to Rethimno port. Its is located directly to the center of the main city and nearby you can find absolutely everything. Regarding the room it was amazing that it had hairdryer and many-many amenities. I will definitely reccommend it! Hope that they could provide us with more details about the area :)

An excellent choice! Located in the old town, near the sea. Clean and well kept place. Highly recommended.

Perfect location. In the heart of old town. Nice and clean. All staff are very friendly. Good breakfast to be eaten outside with ambience music.

Excellent room (we booked the suite) for this price -80€ incl. breakfast. Very good breakfast, polite personnel!

A bit hard to find, but right next to the old town. All rooms are up a spiraling staircase (no lift). Lovely antique decor & furniture.

Very nice ! Mr Nikos knows how to take Care of his guests. It is a hotel with heart. A bedroom with airconditionning, a shower, a complete breakfast with local and tasty products... I definitely recommend it

Wonderful little find, this hotel. Nicos and family were very welcoming. Rooms were nice and clean, great location, fantastic Debbie decor inside.

Charming small hotel on the edge of the "Old Town." Extremely friendly and kind staff. As a family of four we were well looked after. The breakfasts provide a good start to the day with fruit, pastries, local delicacies, bread, eggs, jam and honey and freshly squeezed orange juice and wonderful coffee.

Weird hotel... Awesome atmosphere but sometimes 'old' was a little to literally taken. The beds are supernoisy etcetera. Though it's a place i would recommend if you search a place to stay for a night or two

Stayed for a night, and the hosts were very friendly. The entrance is at the alley, a very short walk from the main road.
