Macaris Suites & Spa  

The appartament was really nice, with beautiful sea views.

The only thing we didn't like was that the wifi didn't work fine in our appartment.

it was amazing ! the stuff is just great ! the room was very clean and it was all new ! we are definitely recommend this hotel !

it a little bit far from the center of the city, about 15 minutes walk. nothing else :)

Amazing sea views (and sunsets) from the spacious terrace. The apartments were large and well-equipped - everything was recently renovated. The staff are very welcoming and helpful (especially Dinos and Christine). The location is good, but the photos might be a little misleading...the sea is about 70 meters from the hotel, but you must cross a busy road and there is no real beach, just rocks. We were fine with this, but it's worth mentioning. We rented a car for the duration of our stay, as there was a taxi strike, and Macaris served as a great base to explore the island. The hotel is just outside the center of Rethymno, but it's an easy walk to Old Town where you'll find plenty of shops, restaurants, night life etc.

This is no fault of the hotel's, but the sidewalks on the busy road that lead to town are under construction, and it can be a little tricky navigating the traffic - we had to cross and re-cross the road in several places. I imagine that in a month or two this won't be a problem. The hotel's pool area can be quite crowded. On most days, all lounge chairs had been reserved by 9:30am and stayed occupied until about 5pm. This didn't really bother us, as we spent most of our time exploring different parts of the island, but if you plan to stay at the hotel during the day you should make sure to wake up early.

We were very pleased and did not realize it was a suite that we were getting with kitchen, living room and awesome bathroom and bedroom. The view was so outstanding of the beach and very close to town and bus station. The pool and bar were very good. Breakfast was outstanding.

Big room, nice terrace (but faceing north)

No sun at all on terrace (oktober) Limeted facilyties. Old 14" tv sets with busted remotes, only a few english channels.

The suites themselves were of a good size, clean, modern and with a well equipped kitchen. The pool was always quiet during our stay - almost like our own private pool on most days. The Greek salad on the menu was very good.

There is no Spa, plain and simple! The "beach" is the sorriest excuse for a beach and no one in the right mind would spend any time on it. Dirty, litter strewn sand, graffiti covered walls - stay by the pool! The location of the hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from the old town and it's bars and restaurants. As others have mentioned, this is along a busy main road with pavement work underway and not looking like being completed anytime soon. The hotel breakfast was poor - we only bothered going the once. The hairdryer is located in the bathroom (and not very powerful) - this means one person can't dry their hair whilst the other is in the shower as it's too steamy/damp - take your own.

The hotel is situated at the west end of the city a few meters above the central road, which is convenient. Just a couple of kilometers from the city center, and only a short drive to the nationla road. Rooms are spacious and have very large balconies with view. Cleaningless is at high standards. Hotel staff is very polite. Swimming pool is nice but not big enough. Generally it is an excellent choice as a city hotel, if you dont mind drive a few minutes to the center (or take the bus).

Breakfast is ok, but could be richer and better.

Amazing views of the sea even from inside the apartment (we stayed on the 7th floor),Macaris most probably offers the best private hotel verandas in Rethymno! The rooms are very modern, comfortable and well equipped. Good international breakfast with local tastes.

Despite what we had been "promised" when booking (we called the manager), once we checked-in we found out that the -otherwise very contemporary and modern-apartment was equipped with two small screen and very old tv sets (the kind that one only finds in cheap hotels/rented rooms, definitely not in a 4 star at 160 euros/night!). However, once we complained they replaced them with two larger LCDs on the next morning.

The apartment was well equiped and spacious. The balcony was spacious with excellent views of the sea and the fort. Good buffet breakfast with lots of choice. Great place to explore places of interest and beaches of western and central Crete. If going back to Crete will stay here again.

The beaches close by are limitted, small and not very clean although the apartments are only 15 to 20 minutes walk from main beach at Rethymno.

Room Size and heated jacuzzi

The beach front location and views to the sea and old town are very attractive. The apartments are spacious with large, sea view terraces. Parking for our hire car was not a problem.

The Macaris is not a well run hotel. The reception staff with one exception are rude and not interested. The remaining staff, Rumainian students, are willing but not experienced. Breakfast is boring and repetitive. The pool is small and there are very few sun beds for the number of guests. There are no meals available evening time. Cleaning is haphazard - twice we had to call as there was no toilet paper in our room! We did discover what we believe is the reason for this style of operation. The apartments are actually for sale to private investors and therefore this is actually a property operation and not a hotel! For the price this represents very poor value for money.

מלון מצויין, צוות שרותי מאוד, חדרים גדולים ומפנקים,המלון כולו חדש,נהנתי מאוד מהשהייה
