Centrally located in Rethymno on the northern coast of Crete, this hotel provides the ideal base for exploring the island or simply relaxing on pristine sand and pebble beaches. The hotel is only a two-minute walk from the famous Rethymno sandy beach, where visitors can swim in the crystal-clear turquoise water and enjoy a variety of water sports; and just a short walk from the town centre and its narrow streets, shops, taverns, small Venetian harbour and ancient cultural and historical sites. The hotel's guestrooms are modern and cosy with private en suite bathroom, air-conditioning, private balcony or terrace, internet access, and refrigerator, and the hotel offers an extensive list of facilities and services, including 24-hour reception, room service, and medical services. Guests can also enjoy exquisite and light Mediterranean style meals in the hotel's café, lobby bar, and open-air poolside restaurant or buffet-style restaurant.
Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages, body treatments and facials. You're sure to appreciate the recreational amenities, which include 3 outdoor swimming pools, a water slide and a sauna. This hotel also features complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and wedding services.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
What a shame this hotel in its heyday would have been beautiful but now tired and old. Not worth the star rating. Do not expect luxury as there is none only overworked staff . Poor reception awful food . No cutlery and spoons and tea spoons non-existent. No saucers and you are lucky if you get a wine glass and not a paper cup. Good awful food. Why sell a holiday like this with so much wrong with it. After an hour drive from airport and early hours of money you just need your room and then unpack in the morning. No such luck at this hotel even though our room should have been ready we were put into a room with out windows and felt like we were in prison with mouldy shower and no water. Reception unable to help until next day. So where was our room we booked . This did not just happen to us. Why not rate it lower and be honest. We fortunately found a little restaurant 2 min drive from hotel which served really good food. Also they sent free transport to pick you up and return you. “No Name” was the restaurant. Shame who ever manages hotel cannot bring it up to scratch. Please do not pay for 5 stars you will only just manage 3 stars which is my opinion. I wish loveholidays had experienced the hotel before selling it to customers. I have lost faith in loveholidays
We had a wonderful stay here last week and received excellent service from the entire hotel team. Everyone was friendly, professional, and welcoming.
A special thank you goes to a remarkable woman at the reception. Through her kindness, humour, and genuine interest in our 5-year-old daughter, she created daily moments of joy that became one of the highlights of our holiday.
The Entertainment Team also brought great energy and a fun atmosphere throughout our stay, which added to the overall holiday experience.
We also enjoyed the delicious and varied breakfast every morning, and the location was perfect, just a short walk from both the beach and the town.
Thank you for making our holiday so special and memorable. We highly recommend this hotel.
Went with family, we had an excellent time. The hotel as all of facilities that you need for a great holiday. The buffet is comprehensive and should suit everyone. All The the hotel staff are excellent, especially the receptionist's nothing was too much trouble.
What a lovely hotel. Good choice of breakfast options. Perfect location with the promenade and beach literally down the road. Great location for some lovely restaurants. Bus stop across the road from hotel to go to old town and further. Staff very helpful apart from some bar staff who don’t really communicate with the holiday makers and also charge €1 per glass of ice! Great entertainment team that help Timothy. All in all a beaut of a hotel! Hopefully will return x
We warmly recommend this hotel. In many ways it is like any other modern 4-star resort hotel on the Med, but what makes it different are the staff, and in particular the receptionists and the housekeeping team. A shoutout to Maria who serviced our room beautifully, and to Argie, Maria and Eirina on the reception team. If you ask them to help you the answer is always "yes", it seemed to us. The breakfast buffet is excellent - do ask the chef to do you an omelette - and if on half board terms the dinner buffet is more than adequate. Our room was 705, which had a shaded balcony, very welcome in 30 degree heat, and was also close to the small but cooling infinity pool looking out over the main pool area. It is very child-friendly, with a kids club, and pool for the little ones (our 3 year old granddaughter loved it). If you have a car, there is an underground garage where it can be parked for 7 euros a day, which we thought very good value. An excellent base for a holiday for all ages.
