The apartments were modern clean and spacious a 15 minute walk to the old town which is doable unless extremely hot then you would get a taxi which ranges from 7 to 9 euros depending on which taxi driver you get. The hotel was lovely and my only comment would be that I wish they had more of the staff visit the pool area to ask if we would like a drink instead of having to get up and go to the bar to order. Overall a great stay and very happy with our holiday.

We did enjoy our stay very much. The rooms were big enough for 4 people and quiet as well as clean. Very responsive service. The pool area though is too small - most beds were always taken and the water is very warm. There is no private beach nearby as mentioned in the property information. The property/rooms are a little dated too, especially the bathrooms. We would still come back as we enjoyed the great ocean view and the quietness of the rooms.

Amazing
One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Location, staff, view were all amazing. The only thing about the town Ethymno I would say is that it has a lot to offer but if you want to go to south or some of the other places that are renowned , they are usually on the other side of Chania and since this hotel is itself about one hour away from Chania it makes the trip longer. However the scenary as you drive is amazing so well worth it

My Wife and I really enjoyed the wellness features of our stay. Large spacious room with 2 private balcony's with a sea view. These were really a strong plus for our stay. Excellent local taverns and eatery's. recommend renting a car to get around the local area. The internet was very spotty to un usable at times. The cable tv was also very poor. The Breakfast was average. not bad but nothing special. Overall the hotel was good value and will stay again if in the area. the staff like all of Greece were pleasant professional and very friendly. I RECONEMEND THE SPA AS WELL VERY NICE FACILITIES!

This property has amazing views and was so relaxing. It’s a little walk to shopping and restaurants in Rethymno but we walked down to the beach area across the street and along the water into town. We really enjoyed our walks and being close to the activity but not too close. The staff was amazing and the breakfast was excellent. The room was perfect, clean and comfortable! We would love to visit again.

The minute my husband and I entered the hotel, we were so happy. The people at the front desk were beyond kind and helpful. They answered any questions we had and were even available to help us call a cab whenever we needed to leave the hotel. Our room was especially amazing. It was so clean, comfortable, convenient in more ways than we were prepared for a hotel room, and quiet. We couldn't have asked for a better hotel to stay at while in Rethymno. We will stay here every time we return!

Amazing hotel in every way
Beautiful hotel. I stayed in a superior 1 bed apartment and it is the best room I have ever stayed in on holiday. It was like having your own plush flat with a double balcony, queen size bed, longe and dining area and fully equipped kitchen. Even the balcony furniture was exceptional - relaxing chairs and a separate dining table. All rooms have a sea view which is amazing. Could not fault the staff, their professionalism and politeness. Nothing was too much for them. Fab quiet pool area with great sunbeds and umbrellas - and no reserving of beds. Lovely bar, snack and dinner menu very reasonable. All in all - pretty perfect

Overall pleased with our stay. Hotel is about 10 mins walk to old town of Rethymno. Staff friendly and very helpful. Rooms are spacious and offer great views of the sea. Only wished our bed sheets/pillow cases would have been changed at some point during our 6 day stay. Bathroom shower has small glass door resulting in water getting all over the bathroom floor. Not a deal breaker but must be a better solution.
