Hotels with pool and beach in Rethymno

When the good weather hits it's beautiful to be here because of sun loungers, pool and sea in proximity. Overall a pleasant experience with a few minor details that need to be checked in the room

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

He always engaged in conversation and was happy to explain different drinks to me and I really enjoyed the rapport we had. Also Kalliopi the receptionist is extremely friendly and approachable

She was extremely helpful in coordinating transportation for us and I really enjoyed talking to her. Finally, Theodoris the maître d’ was very warm and hospitable

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

Our room was large ,comfortable and very cool with the much needed air conditioning. Shower was a little small but still useable

Owner very nice and very helpful with suggestions of what to do. Other staff helpful in suggesting restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Beach is rocky, but water refreshing

Everything else worked, but the noise from the traffic on the adjacent road was disturbing. The great sea view and large balcony were a plus. Good breakfast and nice hostess.

Pros: -very close to the sea (less than 1 minute) -Near supermarkets/coffee shops -15 minutes by bus to Rethymno Cons: Minuses: -breakfasts and dinners

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

Only when I complained to the general manager of the hotel, he left us alone. (“You can not sit at this table, you can not drink from this cup here, you have to dress differently” and everything like that)

Dishes in the restaurant - this is a separate story for discussion. There is no entertainment for children. Even board games and that for a fee. Will I come here again - definitely not

-Restaurant manager Michalis (an old man with makeup) constantly yelled at the staff and went to make remarks to the guests, it was very annoying

Had to go to neighboring cafes and buy some. -dishware so old and sometimes dirty that it was just unpleasant to eat from it

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.

We enjoyed our stay here. The buffet breakfast and dinner were excellent. We are vegan and could always find healthy options. The staff are very professional and helpful. We also enjoyed the private beach.

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

There was a pool inside the hotel, so we went for a swim to relax instead of getting a massage

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!

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

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

Sea view split level suite was excellent. Very clean and the best views. Slight smell from drainage but didn't spoil the holiday. The restaurant was run separately so could not charge meals to room

Beautyfull house with history! Lovely details! Wonderful breakfast place on the seaside! The street outside is very busy and loud, but not in the hotel! The staff is very kind and friendly!

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!

We stayed in a superior family suite with a sea view and jacuzzi which was modern, well-proportioned and spotlessly clean. Fresh towels including beach towels daily. Bed linen changed every other day

I had a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay at Ammos Suites. The location is perfect, right by the sea, and the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and beautifully maintained

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

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

The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and I loved waking up to the sound of the waves. What made the stay even better was the staff — always friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything

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 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

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

Ideal destination for true relaxation, almost adjacent to the seaside beach with quiet and noiseless rooms. The best rooms are the ones with their private pool and we are seriously considering going again next summer

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

The sea was really rough and we only could go in twice the whole time we were there ( 2 weeks). The local lifeguards tell you to come out of it’s not safe

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

The standard of food was really high, the pizzas are lovely. The beach is literally 2 mins walk and there was loads of space there. The hotel has its own sunbeds

Lovely, modern hotel, just 100 meters from a beautiful beach. Between hotel and beach is a pool and grassed area, and a beach bar. The hotel itself has an infinity pool, restaurant and bar, all fabulous

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

We were on the ground floor and had plants and olive trees to give us some privacy. The pool was nice and sunbeds were always available. The breakfast was a bit boring(no hot food) but apart from that everything was fine

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

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

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

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

There is one large pool with it's own pool bar and free sunbed access around the large pool area and on the private beach. The selection of food is local Greek cuisine meets European and west

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

The beach is excellent with included sunbeds, which are all new and very comfortable, adding to the aesthetic appeal. The food also deserves praise – there is something for everyone, and everything is fresh and delicious

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

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

You can really feel how much care and love goes into everything they do here. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, and the whole experience leaves you feeling relaxed and happy

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!

My partner and I stayed for two weeks at this hotel mid October. Room 258 had fabulous sea views and most nights we were treated to the most wonderful Sunsets

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

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

Another slight gripe was the mini-bar in the room was not always topped up and there was a charge for crisps and Nuts! Comfy bed and a great shower in the bathroom made for a comfortable stay, but do take a multi pot adapter, as there are not many sockets

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

The two bars offer a well stocked list of wines, beer, spirits and cocktails. There are two swimming pools, both with a small cordoned off area for young children

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

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

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

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!

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

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

Their support and kindness turned a problem into a positive experience, and I truly appreciate that. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I even extended my stay because of how much I enjoyed it

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 pool was awesome and so was the beach area…. a truly wonderful experience all round!

Beautifully designed hotel with amazing lagoon shaped saltwater pool in the center. Village-like plan but very upscale. Wonderful gardening, perfect maintenance and squeaky clean. Great service by real professionals

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

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 :))

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

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

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

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

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

So many places to sit comfortably sun or shade with delicious drinks and food on tap. All dressed smartly and clearly take pride in their work. Beach bar overlooking the sea - utterly idyllic and chic

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

The hotel has its own bar, providing snacks and drinks, pool drinks must be purchased from the bar

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

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

Rooms have tables and chairs inside and on the balcony. Rooms have curtains and blackout curtains. Bathrooms are simple, but adequate; basin, WC and shower
