4 star hotels in Agia Galini

This is one of the best places to locally - if not the best. A great welcome with local iced tea, homemade biscuits and a cool flannel. The views from the reception and bar are extraordinary, so beautiful to look over Galini harbour. Generously you are given a nice bottle of wine and snacks in the room. Also a free A La Carte dinner at Tomatini the on-site restaurant. Also a voucher is handed to you...

Great hotel with beautiful scenery, nice views. On our stay we had a junior suite with sea view 33 m2. Plenty space for 2 adults and one kid. We opted for halfboard. Good breakfast, dinner also really good, from fish to all different kinds of meats, veggies, fruits. Here we had one of the best rissoto. As for dessert every night was different and you had many options to choose from including home made...

We were late arriving after a tricky drive over the mountains in the dark. The reception staff could not do enough to help us. We were welcomed and shown to the restaurant where food had been prepared for us despite the fact that it was 11.00 at night. The holiday just got better and better after that. The hotel is delightful, with many pools and shady places to sit and gorgeous gardens. The food was...

Got a great clean room with sunset view. The breakfast and the dinner was great. Especially due to the local food provided. We will come back again :)

Ignored and Disappointed: Poor Communication by Hotel Management When we extended our stay, the hotel staff failed to inform us about a special 50% May discount. Although the manager later compensated us nicely, our experience with the hotel’s loyalty program has been extremely disappointing. Since our stay, we've made multiple attempts to register for the hotel’s loyalty membership. Despite discussing...

A hotel of high standards and services, with modern design and a sense of luxury. Highly trained staff who respond to customer requirements with professionalism, in a location by the sea with a beautiful view. I highly recommend it!

It was great!!! Like my best hotel experience ever. The Staff was soo nice und friendly. Personally 6 Stars!! If you want to go onvf holiday on kreta, i really recommend this hotel, especially if you are mostly happy minded people;)

I had a great stay in Petra Hotel, the staff is very friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet is next to the pool where you also have a nice view. Because of the layout of the rooms you have a lot of privacy, and you hardly hear the other guests. I highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent hotel with clean and comfortable rooms. Pool is nice m, unfortunately the pool bar was closed.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. I was instantly greeted with a warm welcome by one of the ladies at reception who was very accommodating. Check in took 5 mins and I was shown to my room straight away to leave my suitcase after which I was shown the main areas (breakfast area and the pool). All the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and made an effort to talk to me. The rooms...

The room was of surpringsigly high standard and very clean. And the staff was just great! Genuinely friendly and helpful. I would love to come back to Petra Hotel.

The renovation of hotel Petra worked out very well. The rooms are very nice and international business standard. Also hotel Petra has a restaurant next to their pool with a great cook. Very recommended!

We really enjoyed our first stay here. A beautiful location overlooking the sea, a wonderful daily breakfast, cheerful and helpful staff at the front desk, and a spacious room. We would certainly return here if we ever find ourselves in Agia Galini again!

Great new room, nice stuff, but pool was not really clean

Mikanos was an extremely friendly and engaging host. The breakfast was outstanding. The location is perfect i.e. about 2 minutes from the small town, not too quiet not too busy....goldilocks. One of a couple of places in the world we've been to that we'd return to

Mikanos was a really genuinely nice man, a pleasure to enjoy his company. The hotel was very nice but the outstanding feature was breakfast. The location with car park is perfect being a 2 minute walk from "town" , a truely lovely spot....a great find. Truthfully it's one of only a few places in the world we'd go back to

Nice situation. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.

Ok... let's say the truth, considering that the average price we paid for other Hotel in crete was 35-40 euros.. this was a bit expensive (80 euro, sea view with breakfast).. but was amazing!! the breakfast was really good, lots of choice. We only stayed in Agia Galini 1 night... that's why we decided to spoilt ourself with this place. Room was really good: clean, spacious, tv, huge bed and a sofa...

Amazing team who look after you from the moment you arrive. Maria and the guy with the beard (sorry didn’t get his name) were always on hand for any issues or to serve drinks etc. Modern rooms with everything you need. The best shower I’ve had in a hotel. Breakfast was varied and had something for everyone. Cleaning our room during the time we had breakfast was superb service. Location is right...

One of the best places to stay in Plakias!a truly wonderful boutique hotel with maisonette rooms arranged around a beautifully designed central pool with a pool bar! The rooms are truly splendid, very clean and well designed! Additionally, prices are very reasonable even during high season!And on top of that, the service and hospitality of the owners and personnel is top notch!!! Highly recommended

A very nice hotel in a quiet area. Friendly staff. Special attention to cleanliness. I recommend this location for an unforgettable vacation

We had a fantastic stay at Cyano Hotel! The room was spotless, the setting peaceful, and just a 3-minute walk to the beach and Plakias town. The breakfast was delicious and changed daily, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. A perfect base for exploring the area — highly recommended!

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms with all the necessary amenities. Excellent breakfast. The hotel is close to the tavernas and the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would book it again.

Excellent place to stay Great hotel, staff really friendly. Short 2min walk to the seafront.

Very clean but nowhere to put anything in room. Season was ending pool had a green tide mark round it and lots of seat pads/loungers were torn or damaged. It was disappointing to see couples not allowed ro sit indoors in restaurant when only tables for 4 were left - why would staff not separate them? Was far away from everything and road was not great to walk along. Most people hired cars and were...

Just returned from a 10 day stay with my daughter at this lovely hotel. This was my daughter’s second visit. We had a lovely ground floor room that overlooked the pool. The room had everything we needed for our stay. Had towels and also beach/pool towels which was great. Our bed was so comfy and huge. The aircon was great. The room was spotless and cleaned everyday. For our stay we had breakfast and...

This is our second stay at Imperial Palace and it did not disappoint. Even before arrival we had excellent communication from the reception team. They were extremely helpful. We arrived in the early hours of the morning,we had a friendly greeting, food and a beautiful gift in our room for our Wedding Anniversary. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and they...

My wife and I spent 10 nights at this hotel. From the very start, right through to the last moment we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because of late flights, we were due to arrive at around 1 am and really weren't expecting anything on arrival except a swift booking in procedure, so when we were told we'd been upgraded from a double room to a suite we were very pleasantly surprised....

Great hotel, awesome staff. Very friendly waiters and kitchen staff. The food was amazing everyday. Rooms were spotles, with air con. Location is perfect, everything is max 10min walking away.

Suite room was really Good. Spacious wiht pool and sea view, big balcony, clean. Pool area could be more clean. Pool had some mold. Jacuzzi in bad condition, some tiles were broken. But overall was good. Many food options. Greek food. I agree with another comment about one waitress who was not polite. Hotel location is very convenient. If you have a car from rent company, Hotel doesn't have parking...

Very nice hotel, located in a very convenient location. The staff is very friendly and we really enjoyed our stay.

It was a very pleasant stay! We will definitely come back this year. The staff was adorable and the food was excellent!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Dias Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly welcome with their warm smiles and authentic Cretan hospitality. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, offering a relaxing atmosphere after a long day. The location is excellent — peaceful yet conveniently close to everything you need. Breakfast was fresh and delicious...

Excellent location and very helpful staff!

I had a short stay with my wife for 3 nights at this new renovated hotel and I have enjoyed it very much. Relaxing and quiet new pool area, friendly staff and tasteful dishes during the day. Nice location just 100 metres from the beach and only 15 minutes from Rethymno Town!!!

We had a really lovely stay at Dias last October and would definitely go back. The staff were super friendly and welcoming from the start, always happy to help with anything we needed. The hotel was clean, modern, and well looked after. Our room was comfortable and cleaned daily, and the bed was great — perfect after long, lazy days. The all-inclusive plan was a real highlight, with a varied buffet...

Hello, My name is Patrick. I unfortunately left yesterday with my best friend Uwe and wanted to write a review. About the room: It was good, but the air conditioning unit was unfortunately a bit loud, so we hardly used it at all. It was also loud from the neighboring room, especially at night. Maybe something can be done about that; that's the only drawback. Location: It was easy to get everywhere...

We had a fantastic stay and were made to feel very welcome by the staff. It was very relaxed and quiet, the old town was only 10 minutes away in a taxi with lots of things to do. The hotel staff were allways willing to help, and Mary even sorted a rental car for us and was very friendly and made sure we got a good deal.

A very friendly family managing this hotel. Always ready to help if needed. Very peace full place, near to the restaurants and shops. Room clean up starting at 8:30. Nice music ambiance near the swimming pool. Ideal for relaxing. Very good breakfast too. Xavier from France.

We stayed at this hotel as a big family group of 20, and right from the beginning, Mary and Cristallenia made us feel really welcome. They were super helpful with any questions we had and overall, we had an amazing time! The location was great close to shops and restaurants, and just a 10-minute drive to Rethymno, which was really convenient. My son and nephew, both under 2, absolutely loved the pool...

It was an amazing experience!! Very comfortable family room for us and our 2 year old. Spacious bed and very clean. Better than expected. Would definitely come again! Mary was also very lovely and accommodating!

Adorable little boutique hotel and the staff is fantastic and friendly. The pool is small but well maintained and they do well with the space they have. The eating, pool, and bar areas are all open and create an airy and open environment. The room was newly renovated and very cute! The beach is only about a ten minute walk away with plenty of restaurants and shops along the way. My main complaint is...

My stay at this hotel was truly amazing! The entire staff is incredibly kind, helpful, and always welcoming. A special thank you to Michael, who stands out not only for being great at his job, but also for his charisma, sense of humor, and the positive energy he brings every day. The food was delicious, with lots of variety and rich local flavors – special greetings to Chef Fotis for the incredible...

I am happy and grateful for Dimitris and Dimitra for making me an exception for the coctail without alcohol. The other personnel shift could not make the drink without one ingridient. I am enjoying the outter bar near by receiption. Thanks Dimitris!

Stayed 1 week in Sept 2024, very nice service, great food (buffet) with very friendly service. It’s 7 km from Rethymno But there are many shops and supermarkets around, and there is a bus into town. The hotel is right on the ocean with a very nice beach, but there are stones in the water so you might want to bring water shoes or you can buy them anywhere around. We loved the crazy birds, specially...

Hotel itself is fine. Room service is without any complaints Pool bar is fine but should open at 10, opens at 11. Also closing at 17:30 instead at 18 as is in papers. Main bar complete disaster. You be lucky to get 4 drinks within 3 hours. Main restaurant for breakfast, lunch, dinner has insufficient capacity. Food is not seasoned enough and boring. Lack of variety, still same. Would not visit again...

We had a good time here, there was a few issues with room but the receptionist sorted it out. Staff were really friendly. Good food and drinks if ordered at the bar or pool bar was served in proper glasses which is nice for an all inclusive hotel. Beach is not the best but right next to the hotel which is nice. 30 minutes on the bus to the closest town, but there is plenty of restaurants and shops...

Came for a lovely family holiday of 13 people. The staff were really caring and suited our needs. They often made it possible for us to sit next to each other at breakfast, lunch and dinner which we were really grateful for. The food was amazing and drinks were served fast and were nice. The room was spacious and homely, my daughter had a separate room with a bed which was useful as we could shut the...

The Maravel Star art is a really nice hotel. It is not too small and not too big, directly st the beach and it was renovated last year. The rooms are really cute. We got one with ocean and pool view and the balcony was so big. Some nights there were karaoke nights which were so fun. If you are looking for a hotel in Rethymnon i can only recommend this. They even decoratef the room for my husbands birthday...

The hotel is nice, new renovated and lies beside the sea, where the view is amazing. You can see the sunrise and the sunset from your balcony. The breakfast is good, the bar is fairly priced. The location of the hotel is also really good, there is a bus station 30m from the main door. Across the street there are several small shops, where you can buy anything what you need and also a taverna, where...

EXCELLENT! CLEAN COMFORT FRIENDLY STAFF AND GREAT LOCATION! NOT TO MENTION THE POOL! WE ENJOYED OUR STAY SO MUCH AND 100% WILL BE BACK! THANK YOU

The hotel is newly renovated, the room is clean. Bathroom poorly designed, without storage shelves. The staff is great! Food at the hotel terrible, little choice, tasteless food. Offering fruit very poor, offering vegetables fine. Beach in front of the hotel dirty and untidy. The hotel accommodates a maximum of 3 stars.

Small family cosy hotel. Marvellous sunset. Tasty food and good options. Free wifi in the room. On the beach there is enough free space for own sun umbrella. During our stay there were pretty high waves which provided a lot of fun to me but they can be challenging for someone. Helpful staff. Very near to sea. Fridge in the room which is good for cooling down bought bottled water. AC in the room. Food...

Amazing place! Quite small compared to other places, what makes this place unique. You feel like a family member. Hotel is just about 2 years old. I wish the hotel management will take care and keep the hotel as nice as it is today. Simple design, but with some art decorations. Nice pool area and reasonable sea entrance. Close to restaurant, shops or car rentals. About 1,5hr from airport by bus.

Well, we've been back home in less than 8 hours so immediately felt obliged to submit this positive review at the earliest opportunity. What can we say having just spent the last 6 days at the Adele Beach Hotel centrally located just outside the town of Rethimno and on the north coast of Crete. The hotel is around a 70 minutes car/bus transfer journey (one way) from Chania Airport, but the journey...

We have just come back from 8 days at the beautiful Hotel Adele Beach . We loved it !! Amazing friendly staff and management especially Anna in the bar , Maria in the pool bar & Marianna in the restaurant . Not forgetting Gina the beautiful hotel cat who always greeted us with a meow every morning . The hotel is spotless . Rooms cleaned every day . The food is delicious with plenty of variety ....

We had a wonderful 10-day vacation at Adele Beach hotel. It's ideally located right halfway between Chania and Heraklion, so you can visit the cultural attractions of both towns, and explore Retymnon area (there is plenty to see there - monasteries, caves, pottery villages, organic farms and so on). There are many car rentals not far from the hotel, or you can take a bus to get to Retymno, Chania...

This was our second time at the Adele Beach (the first was in September 2022). Upon entering the hotel reception, we were surprised that some of the staff immediately recognised us... after three years!! Check-in was swift and our side sea-facing room was spotlessly clean, exactly as we'd remembered. The restaurant had been extended since our last stay with a terraced area for outside dining and...

10/10 overall, staff were all friendly and super helpful, the rooms get cleaned everyday, they have two all inclusive bars one in the lobby and one outside right by the beach. Not to mention the all inclusive food has a ton of variety and different things to pick from all the way from pizza to sushi and options even for those who are on a diet, they also have a variety in desserts and self-serve ice...

10/10 Customer service, The rooms get cleaned everyday, staff is extremely friendly, all inclusive drinks at the beach bar and lobby bar, lastly their food options are very inclusive and have a variety of different foods and desserts to suite everybody. Not to mention the area is great aswell as there are many shops, bars and restaurants to visit on foot and the hotel is right on the beach. Overall...

The rooms are very clean though kind of small but definitely enough. The food was delicious but not much of Greece culture. Since it was very packed the restaurant was kind of loud. All in all it's definitely recommendable and good in price Quality

My family and I have stayed at Nefeli twice, both times during the off-season. I highly recommend this hotel for its friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was moderate but offered a variety of options to suit every taste.

It is all good. Personnel are very friendly, our room is clean. I just dont like our bed. It has space in between, like two single beds together, and it's moving all the time. My child's bed is just a folding bed. I expected to be at least bed sofa-bed. The pool is small, but it is really okay. The problem is that some guests put towels so early and they are not even there to swim! The pool is for...

Booked the hotel for a 7 days period. Pros: The staff is amazing, really helpful and there when you need. The food is really good, lots of choices and themes across the week. They have music nights every 2 days. Cons: The hotel looks good and modern, but the rooms are quite strange. Ours was a micro-room, really small with a tiny balcony which was supposed to be a double room. Friends of ours had a...

The Nefeli Hotel features great service, they make everything possible, rooms with luxurious amenities and a charming flair. The rooms are structured like a little village, making for a cozy feeling and the buffets for breakfast and dinner are straight-up amazing. I have never experienced such a good food offering in a hotel before and could not find a single item that I disliked. I definitely plan...

Very friendly stuff and a very nice place to stay. Only limitation is that there were no fruits at breakfast

I had the best time here! The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are super clean, and the food is so tasty. The pool is big and perfect for relaxing I spent so much time just chilling there. But the best part was the people! The staff were amazing — so kind, fun, and friendly. By the end of my stay, it honestly felt like we all became friends.

The stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were clean, cozy, and well-maintained — everything was thought out to the smallest detail. The food was delicious and varied, and every day there was something new to try. The staff were very friendly, always smiling and positive. The view from the hotel was stunning, and the bar offered great drinks and pleasant music. Everything was top-notch...

Our stay at the hotel was amazing! The room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The food was tasty and diverse — every meal felt special. The staff were kind, attentive, and always in a good mood. The view from the hotel was breathtaking, and the bar had excellent drinks and a relaxing vibe. Everything exceeded expectations — we truly enjoyed every moment!

Absolutely amazing)) Our Favorite Place Ever! We’ve been coming to this hotel for the third year in a row, and every single time it completely exceeds our expectations! Everything here is just perfect – from the incredibly delicious food to the warm and professional service. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and truly make you feel like a valued guest. Every meal is a delight — fresh, flavorful...

Everything was good! Room was cleaned everyday during our 2 weeks stay. I think only one day was skipped. I only disliked the glass door to the toilet, but it's a minor complain. Bed is also really hard, but that was not a big problem for us. Staff was amazing. Really hard working and always smiling. Food was good! I only disliked omelet, it had weird consistency 🤣 but everything else was super good...

We had overall very nice holiday at this hotel. Rooms are nice and clean, cleaned regularly. Only when we wanted clean towel we had to throw dirty to shower. Food was great, everyday few new options of cooked meals, including seafood, meat, vegetarian options and for us all was tasty. They even grilled meat and vegetables. Good selection considering that is not big hotel. Staff were friendly .

An ordinary 3-star hotel We were on vacation with three of us for 2 weeks. Booked a room superior, as we thought that it will be larger in size, but as it turned out that they are almost all the same size, up to 20m2. It was very uncomfortable for the three of us. The hotel would do well to pay attention to the general coziness and order. Everything is somehow dirty and not cleaned. Dishes in the restaurant...

If you want a quiet place, choose this. At the other end of a long sandy beach. Good breakfast and dinner, a little more I would have liked different meat options. The rooms were clean and the service was good.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Positives: - short distance to beach - very nice atmosphere - pleasant staff - nice pool, a little small, but ok. - good food - nice rooms - perfect beach Negatives: - the manager at the restaurant (an elderly man with makeup) was sometimes screaming at the guests, and very stressed. - sometimes the water filtering in the pool was turned of, and the water got...

we stayed at the sister hotel omiros boutique but i went to melody spa at odyssia beach for a back and neck massage with tanya - it was absolutely amazing and helped my sore back so much! definitely returning before our holiday is done, such a good experience and so handy in location right beside the hotel, beach, bar, shops etc🩵☀️

Our favourite Hotel on Crete. Direct access to the beach. Very friendly and efficient staff. Clean and quiet rooms. A little shop on the premises, super market and bus stop in walking distance. Réthimno in walking distance, access to the New National Road 2 minutes by car. Only downside: during our stay in May, there weren't enough tables at dinnertime and not enough staff. Waiting for tables was...

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...

Staff are rude, clean hotel and good food and drinks. Swimming pool was unbearably cold. No entertainment and not close at all to any shops/restaurants. Only book here for a maximum of 3 nights as there’s nothing to do. Beautiful scenery also.

Fantastic resort , the staff and the management cares a lot and support each client’s wish . We were so happy here . We suggest the hotel and of course the island of Crete.

Fantastic place . Excellent two bedroom suites very clean with fantastic views . The pools are comfortable . Our family was really happy.

Very relaxing very clean suites with excellent staff thank you very much it is amazing Crete drinks and food fine we visited the island with a car

Allover perfect stay. 🥰 the room is comfortable sparkling clean. the pool is amazing with mountain view. Food is very good. Manger and staff are very kind and helpful. we can always recommend this hotel at any time.

Food really good and delicious. The entire staff from reception, dinning, room service show high level of customer service. It's a place to visit again for me. Excellent upper floor Suites!!

We had a very nice en relaxing stay

Definately one of the best hotels in the Rethymno area. Very friendly and helpful staff. No street between the hotel and the beach and one of the best breakfast buffets we have ever seen. Lunch and dinner menue also very good. We also tried the spa and the massage was exellent. We are looking forward to visit the Iperion Beach Hotel again sooner or later.

Loved this hotel. Really nice room overlooking the beach and sea. Staff very friendly and has that family run vibe. Breakfast was out of this world, loads of choice and very tasty. Pool and beach area very nicely done, comfortable sun loungers. Few local taverns that were good if you don’t fancy the walk into town. We needed a relaxing break and everything was very easygoing. However you felt...

We stayed here with our friends for our wedding and couldn’t be happier with the experience! The location is absolutely perfect — right by the beach with the most beautiful views☀️ The hotel was super clean, fresh, and beautifully maintained. We especially loved the pool area — it was such a great spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The service was amazing too! The staff were so friendly, helpful...

Dimitri from the beach is absolutely wonderful. So sweet and serviceminded and helpful. Nikos from the restaurant is very arrogant and unhelpful. Food for lunch, - boring 🥱

We had an amazing honeymoon stay at the Iperion Beach Hotel! We experienced genuine warmth and hospitality by the entire staff, the beachside location was absolutely stunning, and sipping piña coladas by the sea was pure bliss. Every meal at the on-site Utopia restaurant was absolutely delicious! Super clean and peaceful. We can’t wait to return someday!

I had an excellent time here at Grecotel Plaza Beach House, 10/10 experience. It is located in Rethymno about a 35 minute walk from Old Town and the beach is across the street so it offers a beautiful view from their restaurant. I have so many wonderful things to say but I will start with the bartender Michael. He is extremely skilled at making drinks that are both delicious and aesthetically pleasing...

First I would like to recognize the staff members that stood out and made our vacation enjoyable..Kalliope (front desk ), Michalis (bartender), Mr Theo (maitre) , Vaso (server) and the household staff . The rooms were well stocked and cleaned..The great scenery and amenities compromised by the hotel perfect..Made it cozy and relaxing..The stay was better than we expected.. All areas were utilized kept...

We went middle’s march and even in the off season it was amazing! The hotel right in front of a beautiful beach with turtles protection, comfortable rooms with AC and no noise at all, an amazing food service in the restaurant, with friendly, attentive staff and our cat friend Manoli!

Perfect location, lovely atmosphere, spacious rooms, very clean, quiet, excellent service from hotel personnel, good WiFi, sumptuous breakfast

Perfect location, lovely atmosphere, spacious rooms, very clean, quiet, excellent service from hotel personnel, good WiFi, sumptuous breakfast

I love this hotel sooo much. Definitely rent a car for the trip, especially in the off season. And definitely stay at this hotel, no notes!

Perfect location-beach front. The only drawback is a very poor Internet. The connection breaks up all the time, the signal is poor. The management should invest into a more powerful router!

We had a great stay in the property, the place is a little run down (which was reflected in the price) but the location was great. Maria was great and helped us resolve most of the problems but the problem with the key was very painful. Every time I used the door it took me 5 to 10 mins to open it because the key wasn’t working properly, Maria gave us a second key and the problem was the same. Major...

Very nice hotel and excellent service. Good breakfast.

We had a wonderful week there! We really liked that the hotel is right next to the beach. The lady at the reception was really kind and helpful and every time we needed something she always solved it. The rooms were really clean, beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. The whole building was clean and bright, the pool was warm. With a little luck we always had a parking space in front of...

beautiful apartments near the sea, private beach, hearty breakfasts, many restaurants and shops around, 30 minutes walk to the city center or €5-6 by taxi, excellent staff

Nice clean spacious rooms. Beach is at the opposite side of the road. I would say that the kitchen is a bit poor equiped.

Great hotel with its own parking. There is a swimming pool and a great view of the city and the sea. Awesome diverse breakfast buffet. There is a game room, that we use to play chess and a gym (we didn't use it). The hotel stands on a hill, so if you walk there will be some uphill walking. In warmer weather that could be difficult.

Highlights were the quality and taste of the food and the genuine friendliness of the staff. The staff really cares about the well-being of the guests. The hotel is 20 min. walk from the beach as well as old town. For the return trip we used a taxi for 6 Euro because it was 35-40 °C when we visited. The hotel is quiet, because located at the edge of town near a forest. We loved Forest Park and can...

Great Hotel with nice view on Rethymno/sea side. Has a fitness center for free and a free parking area. Everything was clean and the personnel was friendly. You can reach the city by foot through a special way next to the pool very fast.

It was a great experience to stay here, the hotel is located on a beautiful hill with a lovely view, surrounded by forest. Within 10 minutes you are downtown in Rethymnon. The rooms were always clean and the staff was really helpful during our stay. We would recommend this hotel for all couples.

It was our first time in Rethymno and we loved the Forest Park Hotel. The view while enjoying the delicious breakfast and dinner was amazing. The staff was very friendly and provided great service. I would book this hotel any time again for my next trip to Crete.

Great hotel with very nice location in the town with a awesome view. Comfy beds, nice breakfast and pool bar. Totally recommended!

Really comfy hotel room. Friendly check in and helpful staff. Nice location short walk to the beach. Sea view from balcony. Delicious breakfast!

A large hotel with usual facilities. Room was fine, though shower needs improvement as it wets the bathroom floor. Good choice of breakfast items. Location on main road not seafront so some road noise. No parking. (Though we went to the wrong hotel on arrival and they said we could use their underground car park for €7 a day).

Charged an extra 30 Euro above stated 70 Euros because of the type of room we had booked. The room was not that brilliant. A large bed but very little space to put your clothing for a 10 day stay. We mostly lived out of a suitcase. The view was OK but not exciting. Very very noisy from the main road. The food was hit and miss, and not that good. As for the entertainment in the evening I would give...

We had a wonderful stay at Minos Hotel in Crete! From the moment we arrived, we was warmly welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. The hospitality throughout my stay was exceptional – everyone went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. The service was truly outstanding, with attention to every detail. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, the food was delicious, and...

Spent 10days here as a return visit. Is a lovely hotel with everything you need and in a perfect position just a few minuted from the beach. We will almost certainly return. Staff are helpfull and friendly. Pool area and bars is as you would like it. Sorry to be leaving. Thank you.

We stayed for a week here recently and had a great time, great location with just short walk into town. Staff are friendly and happy to answer any questions. We had bed and breakfast only but this was more than enough. Plenty to choose from. Would stay here again

The hotel is right on the waterfront, a 20-minute walk from Rethymno. We booked half board and had a delicious five-course dinner (drinks are an extra charge, but inexpensive). The hotel isn't new, but everything is in good condition, and it offers excellent value for money.

The fifth time in Swell. Already before we came we had excellent service from the management in arranging the room to meet our hopes. Coming there was like coming to a second home. All the people from chambermaids to the manager whom we knew from our earlier visits were like old friends. The hotel itself has excellent location, could not think any better. The rooms are clean, service warm and thoughtful...

We had a truly wonderful time at Swell Boutique Hotel in Rethymno this mid September. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtful and welcoming. We were kindly upgraded to a spacious two-floor apartment with two terraces, and I was genuinely amazed! One had a covered area, perfect for warm afternoons, and the other opened just above the promenade with a beautiful view of the sea. It was...

September 2025 Beautiful hotel and suite. Friendly helpful staff. Would recommend.

SWELL (Excellent) performance in every way. From reception, restaurant service (dinner for Gods) and cleaning. Yannis, Margaret, Aggeliki and all other unnamed members of the hotel (boutique). Home is not far when you are in Swell. Oh, I almost forgot. The sea is just across the street. City center 10-15 min away. BG

We had a wonderful stay at Swell Boutique hotel. Staff really were amazing, they were always so helpful and friendly. Our room was lovely and had a beautiful sea view. It was split over 2 floors, upstairs having its own bathroom too, lots of wardrobe space and storage. The stairs were a little steep so had to be extra careful coming down. The bathroom could do with updating (like a rainfall shower...

It was an amazing experience, the people are really nice. The treatements do wonders. I got helped so well by Evdokia and found what suited me, and got my amazing massages from Ioanna. When I come back to Rethimno I Will come here again.

Staying at the hotel for the second time we realized that is still a great hotel with some ups and downs. Ups: Service, location, pool, spacious room with kitchen and very friendly staff. Downs: The spa treatment are too expensive ( double the price of a regular treatment), coffee at breakfast is a disappointment and the beds are rather soft. Still worth going there but be aware of the downs.

We had a pleasant stay here. The location is excellent — just far enough from the noisy seafront to be peaceful, yet only a short walk to the beach and the old town. They also have a beach area. The pool area is cozy and inviting, and everything was generally clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful, which is not always a given in Crete. The spa area was nice and professional, though...

Nice and calm treatment. Sweet and professional girls Dina and Evdokia) can definitely recommend it. Good combination of wellness or massage therapy with good and quality products.

It was good and we feel relaxed after the treatment. Dian and Popi were gentle therapist. Evdokia was very friendly and professonial.

Visited the spa twice on my holiday. Totally relaxed experience, hubby even enjoyed the peace and quiet. The newSpa facilities are wonderful. Will go again. Evdokia explained everything well. Dina was an excellent masseuse. Totally chilled , talking a bit of Crete with me. Til next time, thank you aegos spa.

An absolutely amazing hotel experience! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with a great variety and excellent quality at every meal. The swimming pool was beautiful, clean, and very relaxing, and the view was simply breathtaking. The hotel is located in a great area, close to everything you need while still feeling peaceful and comfortable. I would definitely recommend...

We had a wonderful time at the Bali Mare Hotel! Our accommodation was lovely. We all loved the pool area and the pool drinks! Kids couldn’t get enough of the pool. Food was delicious, with lots of choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We also used the bbq facilities that came with the village rooms. Staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Short walk to shops, restaurants and beach And great views...

Aris the best .my best holidays I love this hotel!!We come find you next year 🥰🥰.The best stuff ,best food .We love you all!!!

- no water provided for rooms (got told to buy my own and reuse bottles at the restaurant's soda dispenser) if you don't - you'll have a really dry night - old AC unit barely clinging to life and dripping onto the bed (had to put a towel over the bed's head) - one poolside bar open 10:30-23:00 (last hour they charge for drinks) - no cocktail menu, the bartender can just mix whatever booze is on the...

We were two families from the UK visiting Crete and chose to stay at the Bali Mare Hotel. The location is amazing, and the owner, Haris, was very helpful. I had some trouble with LoveHoliday because they didn’t book us for an extra day to save money, but Haris kindly let us stay an extra 10 hours in the hotel, which was a big favour. The place is wonderful — just a 5-minute walk from the hotel to the...

Super hotel!!!1000 recommended . Good hospitality and good food!!!!! My friends my love!!!! I will say to everyone to come

Me and my mam are sadly leaving this beautiful hotel tomorrow. What can I say other than exceptional!? Such an amazing experience in this fabulous hotel. The staff are an absolute credit to the hotel, every single one friendly, helpful and will go above and beyond. Rooms are perfect, very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The wine on arrival was a great touch. Breakfast was delicious...

This was one of my favorite hotels during my trip and I only wish I booked it for longer. They even gave me a free gift when I checked in.

Absolutely beautiful and incredible hotel! Wonderful service, perfect location, so clean and so comfortable. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be back!

Beautiful hotel in a great location. The old town just a short stroll away in one direction and the beach and promenade in the other direction. Hotel breakfast was great, All the staff were pleasant and polite and everything was spotless. My only complaint was the noisy air conditioning unit in our room, which sounded like a bubbling boiling kettle all night!

The Ionia suites are simply beautiful! We arrived at 2pm and our room 303 was available immediately. This is a small hotel with about 20 rooms which is perfect for us. We were on floor 3, the top floor with the rooftop swimming pool close by. The pool was small but really nice and peaceful. In fact the whole place is peaceful which made our stay perfect. The room was a nice size, exceptionally clean...

Fantastic hotel. The location is great for beach and town. The staff were so friendly and helpful, they could not have done more. Breakfast was varied and good. Very clean and smart. The showers were hot and plentiful. I could not fault it. We were there over Easter and the hotel explained the local customs and times and details of the parades and services. The pool was clean and smart with deck chairs...
