Reviews
The room we had was well designed, plenty of storage and we had a large balcony overlooking the city and the pool.
The breakfast was better than expected, with plenty of choice and good quality.
The pool area was really nice, on the smaller side but never had issues finding a free sun bed throughout the day. We found it quite relaxing to lie around the pool.
The location is good. It’s in the busy area of Rethymno town, really close to the beach and about 20 min walk to old town which we went to most evenings. There are plenty of restaurants closer by too, but we preferred the ones in old town.
Sometimes parking was difficult especially with the one way streets, but always eventually managed to find somewhere relatively closeby.
Throughout my stay I was treated like a second-class citizen for being a solo traveller, especially when dining. The restaurant was a buffet, where you serve yourself and then sit wherever you want. Therefore, I usually sat in the same seat on a table for 2.. however, one evening I got my food and sat in my usual seat, when the Maître De quite abruptly came over to me and said "you need to move, that table is for somebody else" (a couple that were getting their food, that hadn't sat down, but had been told that they could sit there). I apologised, picked up my plate and moved to the next table, whereby he rudely replied "you need to ask me".. baring in mind that there was no seating system in place, no wait to be seated signs, no reserved table signs, people sat where they wanted and I'd sat there most times that I went to dinner. I felt so unwelcomed, embarrassed and dreaded going back for breakfast and dinner, which is absolutely not okay. If I was in a couple, he definitely wouldn't have spoken to me like that or told us to move.
Appalling behaviour and not how you should treat paying customers. Definitely would not return due to the service received.
Also the sound of motorbikes from the road was loud and felt like it was in the room.
Food - 5/5 - We had half-board service and the food was excellent. We are not eating vegan, gluten-free or any specific type of diet so I am not sure how it would work for someone that would need that.
Rooms - 2/5 - We spend so little time in rooms so this should be easy 5/5 as we don't demand a lot, just for rooms to be clean and that the bathroom and bed are functional.
Balcony is very narrow and you can't really sit on it, air conditioning is not that good and needs a lot of time to reach desired temperature but those are minor things for us tbh. We had superior room with a pool view so the noise wasn't an issue.
However, if you are on the third floor during full season, you can forget about showering between 7PM - 8PM. The water pressure is very low. What annoys me more than the pressure is how the staff is handling it. Basically they think you are an idiot and they are always telling you they are working on fixing it, or it's a battery thing. If the pressure was great at 6PM and magically gets bad after 7PM you don't have to be a genius to figure out that it's due to a lot of people using the shower + being on the last floor.
So, if you are coming during full season months, make sure to ask for the first floor.
Pool - Didn't use it much. It's in the shadow for the most part of the day
Other things that can be better are:
- Safe deposit box shouldn't be extra charge but it is
- Drink prices during breakfast and dinner should be lower as right now they are higher than on the beach.
That's it. Overall we are happy and if there weren't shower issues we would give 5/5. As it is, it is probably 3.5/5.
