Good vibe and friendly staff but small rooms
Nice hotel with a good vibe and friendly staff. The rooms were a bit small and had an intense smell of perfume from the hallway due to an air freshener machine. No good restaurants nearby, you will need to go to Rethymno.

Tolles Hotel – sehr sauber, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal (vielen Dank an Daniela und Dora!). Das Buffet bietet eine gute Auswahl. Einzig das Licht im Bad könnte etwas heller sein. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Great hotel in Rethymno
Lovely hotel in Rethymno. The service was good and very helpful. There was plenty of options for food and drink in the all-inclusive package, I'd highly recommend.
They had some entertainment on at 9pm pretty much every day but there wasn't much else other than that.
We stayed in the suite and it was wonderful for a couple's one week holiday. It's only five minutes to the beach which was nice an easy.

Returning Visitors
Stayed here last year and absolutely loved it so decided to go back…and we’re so glad we did. The food is delicious and not repetitive like some All Inclusive hotels. The staff are amazing too, so friendly and accommodating. New addition to the hotel from last year is the rooftop pool and bar… great for sunsets

Hotel und Anlage sind sehr zu empfehlen. Toller Service und nettes Personal. Schöne Poolanlagen mit gut ausgestatteter Bars. Buffet und Essen sind ok bis gut für All inclusive (wir sind aber sehr anspruchsvoll und kochen gerne selber und vielfältig). Klare Empfehlung.

Nice Hotel, with great staff (💖💖).
A few too many rules.
Definitely not enough sun beds.
The food could be more varied.

A great hotel with lovely staff and very clean. Reception area is welcoming, beautiful and smells fantastic! The rooms are a little on the small side and the lighting isn’t great, especially in the bathroom and shower. There is also a smell which comes from the drains but overall, a great hotel and I would highly recommend it. 3 pools to choose from all with beds although they need to be stricter on the policy of not reserving subbed early in the morning.

Sehr hochwertige Unterkunft, allerdings eher für Jüngere ausgelegt, was beim Check-In bei der Nutzung einer App deutlich wurde. Zudem läuft den ganzen Tag Club-Musik, damit muss man zurecht kommen. Speisen und Getränke sind gut, "All-Inclusive" ist bei den Getränken allerdings nicht alles und nicht den ganzen Tag. Reicht aber vollkommen aus. Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Würden sicherlich wiederkommen, sofern man nochmal nach Kreta reist.

Etablissement refait à neuf disposant de tout le confort moderne. Le service jeune très aimable et motivé.La décoration est très soignée et fidèle aux photos.Le mobilier de la chambre privilègie l'esthétique à l'espace de rangement. La restauration sous forme de buffet est variée. Le wifi disponible dans tout l'hotel n'est pas de la meilleure qualité. Les matelas autour de la piscine sont en nombre insuffisant et reservé dès 6h30.Accord avec une plage privée a seulement 7 min.
