The staff was very friendly and the yoga teacher was excellent. The property is beautiful and the restaurant is very good. We were disappointed in the private outdoor hot tub because it really wasn't private. Also, the shower in our room only had a 1/2 wall enclosure so the floor was very wet when ...

Amazing resort and beach. Food was epic and the service around the pool really great. Just make sure to download the group app and book your restaurants as soon as you are confirmed. Got upgraded to a swim up room too so that was pretty special.

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!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

The old town is a compact collection of vibrant, colourful narrow streets and alleys with a charming, small harbour and ancient fortification. There's a great range of shops and restaurants and many interesting places to visit around Rethymno.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

We have been to Rethymnon many times, we love all the little backstreets, the range of tavernas and the friendliness of the people.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Rethymno is a beautiful historic town surrounded by nice beaches and with a beautiful mountainous back drop. A great base for a holiday in Crete, with plenty of affordable places to eat and drink. Nearby city of Hania well worth a visit too.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Old town was brilliant - lots of great restaurants which are better value than right on the harbour or seafront

I love the place. 3 visits every year for 10 years. Yet find something new all the time. Old town is amazing and very safe. We have no worries wandering around at 2am. On a night police close the roads, so safe to walk without traffic about
