Hotels with beach in Rethymno

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

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. He has a clear passion for what he does

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!

My stay at Grecotel Plaza Beach House was outstanding. The staff was extremely welcoming, and looked after me during all my stay. Maria and Vassiliki that offered hospitality at the first place

Beautiful small hotel and lovely staff By the roadside we had a sea view which was lovely rooms at the back can hear the traffic Enough beds for guests not always enough space outside for breakfast though Pebbly beach so take beach shoes Location great to walk into the old town Can walk this in 15 mins Hundreds of shops bars restaurants so we visited every evening and got a taxi back for about 6...

Although we were not guests of the hotel, Panos welcomed us with such kindness and hospitality. By ordering drinks, we were allowed to use the wonderful sunbeds on the beach

The rooms were always clean and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay

I called the hotel, and they immediately found it and arranged a taxi delivery to the airport — truly excellent service. I’m very grateful and would definitely recommend this hotel to others

The most impressive part was their quick response when I realized — already on the way to the airport — that I had left my phone in the room

A very cozy and pleasant hotel. It’s located about a 20-minute walk from the Old Town, which makes it easy to explore the city on foot

Everything felt fresh, thoughtful, and full of local flavor. The location is unbeatable — right on the beach — making it the perfect place to relax and soak up the atmosphere

Plenty of sunbeds and parasols which were free to use and lots of beach towels available all day. This was a great bonus as many places charge for sunbeds etc

There are toilets and a shower available at the hotel when you are on the beach or terrace, which saves you having to go back to your room. Rethymno old town about 25 mins walk

Thanks to her, we had one of the best dining experiences of our trip! The food at the hotel itself was just as memorable. The homemade breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the lunch we enjoyed was also excellent

Such a beautiful hotel we had a fantastic week there. All the staff were fabulous,nothing too much trouble. Eva the manager was fabulous,so friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast is lovely and plentiful

We would get a taxi into town and take a slow walk back when it was cooler. Well worth doing as it's a beautiful town and the sunsets at the port are just amazing

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.

- 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 dirty really fast. Had to complain for them to turn on circulation

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🩵☀️

For 2 weeks only a couple of times there were mussels and once shrimp for dinner. Breakfasts all 14 days were the same. -There is no kettle/coffee maker in the rooms, and tea/coffee is not offered at dinner either

-Cleaning the room depended on the woman who cleaned. -beds, umbrellas and towels on the beach all for a fee, although this was not warned. And we had a full package bought

Great spot if you plan on taking a ferry to santorini, its a 20 minute walk. Breakfast was nice here. Only downside was paper thin walls on the first floor, youll be able to hear your neighbors if they are loud!

The hotel I booked included two meals, the taste was great, very satisfied. The fee for one more child is 48 euros. It is reasonable according to its facilities, I hope to have the opportunity to go there again next time

Wonderful hotel in good location. Just a short walk to the old town for shopping, dinning, etc.

It was about a 5-minute taxi ride from the bus station, we could use the beach in front, and our room was spacious and open, so we were able to relax

Great pool bar, there were even inflatables in the pool for the kids to use. The staff here are all absolutely lovely, they are so friendly and helpful. They can’t do enough for you and always with a smile

The staff were absolutely brilliant. So helpful and friendly. Room was so comfy, lush decor and really relaxing. Food was gorgeous. All fantastic and really reasonable, affordable price. Thank you!

The best hotel in Rethymnon. Very spacious and nice rooms, clean and tidy. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. Third time we are staying here. The private beach is also great.

Had a great massage & facial at the Meldody Spa. Kindly helped by Nicol, Alex and Christina. I would definitely recommend it!

We have just returned from an excellent stay at Ikones Seafront Luxury Suites. The location of the hotel was fantastic being right in front of the beach

Everything was perfect!!! From the location, services, staff, food, amenities, private beach, EVERYTHING!!!! Every night at the bar was another show (live music, dj),

The staff were all wonderful with a high level of service. Nothing was too much trouble for them to make our stay a good one. Food in the buffet restaurant was excellent and there was variety and choice in abundance

The long flat promenade was ideal for my wife who has some mobility issues as she was able to walk easily with her rollator. Our room was very comfortable and well appointed with modern fixtures and fittings

This is a beautiful hotel with excellent, comfy beds, great staff and it's on the sea! The beach nearby is pebbly and it's a 25 minute walk to the old town - not a huge amount to do in the immediate area, but the hotel itself more than makes up for that!

The location is a bit far from Old town Rethymno a 30 minute walk but the local bus, walk or taxi will get you there fast. The upside is you are on the beach and have loungers and a semi private beach at your disposal

However, breakfast was included so no probs there. Enjoyed the varied buffet breakfast. Pool is small and on the roadside so noisy at times. Small beach area for the hotel but we had a lovely patio outside the room

Perfect getaway for few days This was a perfect location for a few days’ getaway. Nice hotel right by the beach with lovely staff. Can also recommend the hotel restaurant. Five star stay!

Small boutique hotel outside of the hustle and bustle of old town with a private beach. Great restaurants within walking distance Prima Plora and their own Thalassa Seafood restaurant

Breakfast was very nice buffet with a large sweet and savoury selection including fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, very nice coffee. The lighting in my room is also very nice and thought out

The private beach is another highlight — peaceful, clean, and supported by efficient service. Highly recommended for travelers seeking quality accommodation with genuine hospitality

Breakfast was delicious with a lovely view, and the private beach area was calm and very well organized. A perfect place to unwind and feel taken care of

The location couldn’t be better, right across from the sea, offering that calming coastal feeling from the moment you arrive. The hotel itself has a refined, elegant style that makes you feel instantly relaxed

The staff are exceptionally courteous and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels well looked after. The breakfast selection is excellent, made even more enjoyable by the stunning sea view

Our room was very comfortable, especially the excellent mattress. Service was very friendly, and Filio (hotel manager) was always available and genuinely helpful throughout our stay

Ammos Suites offers a high standard of comfort, cleanliness, and service. The property is modern and well-maintained, with an unbeatable seafront location

You got cocktails, the beach and great food all within 5 feet of each other. EDIT: The dance instructor/aqua gym trainer/Rhethomno by night guide deserves special praise

Evening animation, perhaps good for senior citizens. I preferred the beach near the harbour, sandy beach, smooth entry into the sea, about 2km away or 7 euros by taxi (taxi station few meters from the hotel)

You want an earlier breakfast? No problem, consider it done. You need directions? A car? A good-morning smile from literally every staff member you pass? WE GOT YOU. But seriously, just come here

A wonderful experience made possible by super friendly and accommodating staff, delicious breakfast and dinner buffets and amazing views. You want softer pillows? We got you, they said

Overall a nice experience, many thanks!

We stayed for 7 nights at this hotel. Upon arrival, our room was not available, so we were upgraded to a suite for one night — a pleasant surprise. The next day, we moved into the room we had originally booked

The gentleman who runs the bar is also very welcoming. Beach towels are provided and there is no charge for sun loungers

We are just back from a week’s stay. The decor is modern and stylish, especially the bar, pool and restaurant area which is at the top of the hotel with views over the beach. The rooms are very nice and spacious

Toiletries and towels are provided. There is a lovely central courtyard where movies of your choice can be projected in the evening. Breakfast is varied with all the usual options and more

The service is really slow, you can wait up to an hour for your food but just order then go back to your sunbed ! They will bring it to you on your sunbed if you want

If you want to eat out, there are lots of restaurants within walking distance and the surrounding area is buzzy. We had booked another nearby hotel, owned by the same company

As it was nearing the end of the season we were upgraded to the Atermono. Couldn’t be happier with the service

Overall, Galeana Beach Hotel is a well-regarded option for travelers seeking a peaceful, beachside retreat with essential amenities and a welcoming atmosphere.

We don't like large hotels, so we are very pleased with our choice of Galeana Beach Aparthotel. A wonderful location where you feel like in the countryside

The rooms are simple but ok for us (its a 2 star hotel), access to the pool and beach was fine. Easy access to Rethymion by bus

You can't complain about breakfast because it's not a 5-star hotel. The only thing missing was a few slices of tomato. When we returned home, I realized that I had forgotten my wedding ring

If we return to Crete for a holiday, we will definitely not look for another hotel

The receptionists have a lot of information and are friendly. My room was basic but comfortable. Fridge,kettle,tv(only German channels)and the a/c worked well

The Adele Beach Hotel is ideally located with a 25 minutes bus (number 20) journey/ride away from the nearest historic town of Rethimno which literally has something to offer everyone but just remember to purchase bus tickets in advance from all local stores and shops at 2 euro per trip

The Adele Beach Hotel is centrally located near to the main high road with numerous bars, ATM's, supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants and activity venues along with a pharmacy, hire car centres and a medical centre

would we stay at the Adele Beach Hotel again in the future. 100% yes! If you're toying with the idea to visit Crete in 2026 then seriously consider reviewing their website and book your accommodation asap

The hotel is set back and away from the main road so there are no noise or pollution issues. As for the Adele Beach Hotel itself. WOW! The hotel is shown as 4 star and they certainly deserve that rating

From the moment we arrived - staff were truly professional, smartly dressed, approachable, friendly, informative, accommodating, ready to assist and help to exceed all levels of customer service to ensure every single guests stay expectation were met

During our stay in Oct there was no evening entertainment at the hotel but there is an idyllic evening bar where guests played board games and playing cards to be utilised at your leisure

The room was cleaned excellently every day, and the bed linen and towels were changed every 4 days. The hotel grounds are small but beautiful and well-maintained, featuring two pools

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

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

🙄 but I want to thank every person who worked here. Beach was good, but you need water shoes ofcourse

Bed is also really hard, but that was not a big problem for us. Really hard working and always smiling. Food was good! I only disliked omelet, it had weird consistency 🤣 but everything else was super good and tasty

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 hotel is lovely, yes it does get busy with families in school holidays but that can be said of many places, the staff are all fantastic and nothing is too much trouble for their guests

We love them all and in all of our travels we have never found anywhere quite so comfortable and that makes us feel like we are at home while we are away. We will see you all next year

We stayed 4th to 14th September 2025 and as always our stay was fantastic

lifeguards there all day to look after weak swimmers. Bring your swimming shoes as sand grit is very hot and not flat. Had a amazing time on holiday and would reccomend Hotel

A little bit late writing my review but better late than never

I was a bit dissapointed to not find any Beach Bags and Slippers in the room, as these are pretty much standard in a 5* Hotel, so when I was asked for feedback on their App, I told them, and the next day Beach Bag and Slippers were delivered along with some extra toiletries

Wishing all of you continued success and happiness! 😘🌟 With warm regards, Klaudia PS: Dziękuję też serdecznie pani Agnieszce – pozytywnej, ciepłej osobie, która zawsze wnosiła dobrą energię i uśmiech! 💛

The only thing I would slightly improve is the hair dryer in the bathroom – it heats up quickly and doesn’t work that well, but it’s just a small detail compared to how great everything else was

The food was delicious, with lots of variety and rich local flavors – special greetings to Chef Fotis for the incredible meals. Everyone working here makes the experience even more enjoyable

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

Children are particularly well looked after by the wide variety of food on offer. The hotel itself and surrounding areas were very clean and well kept

My stay at this hotel was truly amazing! The entire staff is incredibly kind, helpful, and always welcoming

What can I say Wow what a great holiday my husband and I had , from the management to the chambermaids we were made so welcome nothing was too much for the staff specially John and Maria , we will be coming back 100% Miss Lou and Keith

Really good food in the evening. Every wednesday really good live music with a choice of fresh fish or steak (you also can choose from the menue if you like). Breakfast ok but room to improvement

The hosts are really nice, friendly and made a good Service. Air condition costs extra but it is ok if you need it. Location near by the sea and also a Pool and a nice taverne at the hotel

Near by many tavernes and shopping locations. We dont need more than we had and had a really nice vacation at this hotel :) big thank you to everybody that make it a great vacation for us

What an amazing experience! The super kind staff made us feel like kings . It was our home away from home for the last week. Looking forward to come back in September

Amazing location. Food and drinks were excellent...Guest oriented and polite staff! I would definitely recommend it. See you soon!

I have to mention especially the young team led by restaurant manager Alexandros and Soula who lead them with friendliness kindness and humour. We loved staying there and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone

I cannot praise the hotel enough but what makes it so special is the friendliness and helpfulness of every member of staff from front desk restaurant staff and room attendants

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

We stayed at Caramel last week and can only praise the hotel. The accommodation was fantastic. We stayed in a bungalow with private pool

Rethymno is such a lovely old town with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops and €12 in a taxi. Negative is the beach, so hard to access the sea with the slippy rocks and stones but shoes are on offer which helped

The hotel accommodation is arranged in separate buildings surrounding an amazing central pool and has a relaxed village feeling

Across the street you can find trip agency Klados where you can buy tickets to Samaria, Balos beach and other places for a good price. All info you can ask in reception - they will help :))

Wonderful place for a holiday. the hotel is right next to the beach, sea view, quiet place ... In one word, fabulous!

Tidy, cozy, pleasant, not the most modern, but perfect value for money. The hotel has its own beach, the sea is clean and very warm (August). The staff is very kind and friendly. Maybe a mistake: wifi is very weak

amazing scenery,beautiful food great service ,always happy to help in fact they bend over backwards. They bring your drinks to u always smiling could not say anything else apart from totally amazing

Easy to get to Rethymno with the bus, tickets you can buy in every (as they call :))) Super market. Car rent across the street/good price. Food is OK, if you are not expecting much

It`s a very nice and clean place to stay, very good for stay with kids. Hotel is located near to the sea, it`s not far from the old town of Rethymno

We spent 5 days in the Rethymno Palace as a couple, our teenage daughter and 4 of her friends. It's a nice hotel with indoor and outdoor pool and direct access to beach and sea

We booked a massage in the Spa with the very friendly spa manager Hasmik. I got a really relaxing massage from the masseur Stefanos who was able to give me advice for my back problem

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

This hotel has everything you need for a great relaxing vacation. I had two massages there, and I’ve never been more relaxed thanks to Stefanos and Hosmik

Fantastic stay at an extremely friendly and professionally run hotel right on the beach. The rooms are spruce, bright and well maintained. We had a view right over the pool and palm trees

Great 5 star resort with a good food and drinks. Perfect pool, beach and entertainment.

Kitchen sink area comes with tea towel, scourer and washing up liquid, again nice touch. Rooms are serviced daily and linen and towels changed regularly

There is a local climate tax of €3 per day in common with all other payments these seem to have to be in cash apparently their credit card machine is permanently broken! Limited car parking on site, which is covered and therefore protects your car from the worst of the sun’s heat, plenty of on street parking in the road

Twin beds, sofa, kitchenette with; fridge, kettle, single ring, microwave, crockery, cutlery, pots and pans enough for simple meals. I think there are some larger family rooms

Towels are not exactly soft and beds are somewhat firm! The hotel provides breakfast for an extra €8, we provided our own, but it looked good

The basin plug release in one room needed operating from below the sink, it was missing parts, on the second room the sink emptied with the plug in place. Plenty of hot water which never ran out and good shower pressure

Our, not very good, hire car cost €160 for two weeks, booked from the UK (Carjet) well in advance. Flat screen TV with some English channels. Good room safe, extra €2 per day
