The hotel’s location is ideal—close to Rethymno but away from the noise. We rented a car and explored the island easily. Coming back each evening to the calm atmosphere was exactly what we needed.

Very good location, close to the beach and at about 15 min drive to Rethymno. The room was very clean (cleaning was done daily), confortable beds, air conditioning. We could also borrow an umbrella for the beach. The breakfast was fine (we absolutely loved some traditional cookies we had there). The hosts were nice and helpful.

Absolutely incredible hotel one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed! The view is simply breathtaking and, honestly, the best view in Rethymno. Waking up to this scenery every morning felt like a dream. The pool is beautiful and the perfect place to relax and enjoy the incredible surroundings. The hotel is spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and has everything you need for a truly relaxing stay. But what makes this place truly special is the people. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, and the owner is absolutely amazing. She is so kind, attentive, generous, and genuinely caring. She made us feel like guests in her own home and went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect stay. You can really feel the care and passion that goes into running this hotel. The combination of the unbelievable view, gorgeous pool, impeccable cleanliness, and the warmth of the people makes this place truly exceptional. We loved every minute of our stay and would come back without hesitation. If you are visiting Rethymno, stay here you will not regret it!

This is one of the most beautiful hotels that I have ever been to. The sea view is excellent, the pool and the facilities are really nice, the food is great. Everything is nice and clean. And the staff is super nice, especially Yannis from the reception and the staff from the bar and the restaurant!

They gave us welcome drinks when we arrived which was very nice.

It was clean and very comfortable. Very nicely decorated and very pleasant. The breakfast was great and delivered to your door. The staff was very friendly and lovely.

I can't say enough about this place. I think I could happily live there. We had a beautiful room with plenty of space to relax. The breakfast was a highlight with new treats each morning. The hotel was centrally located in the village—walking distance to fabulous restaurants, the beach, and more. Nikki was so helpful. We hope to visit again soon!

The most amazing view! Stunning pool area, fantastic food made by Maria and perfect cottages. I would highly recommend to anyone who wanted a peaceful and serene break, only 15 minutes to a great beach. We hope to be back again in the future! Thank you.

Between the swimming areas, water activities, entertainment and other facilities, there was always an option available. It made the holiday very easy.

Everything was great: The facilities, the staff, the food. Perfect for a family vacation!

We visited Creta Royal 3rd time. Everything is beautiful here. The facilities, the room, the cleanliness, the pools and the beach, all of them are perfect. The breakfast and the dinner is exceptional, with a great variety.

The whole hotel experience was great. The staff in the restaurants were exceptional kind and professional.

The location was right on the water. There was parking very close by which is always helpful, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was so cute and the entire property was clean and very looked after. Their restaurant also has really good!!

The staff and especially the owner were very kind and polite. The property was in a quiet and peaceful area. The room was really beautiful, modern, clean and the bed was comfortable. Finally, The hotel is neat, clean, quiet and has a nice pool and restaurant. Overall a good choice and I totally recommend it.

Absolutely faultless property. Rooms were stunning - so modern with everything you could want. Decor was cool and chic and the views to the sea were perfect. The ideal spot to watch sunset too! The location was perfect - quiet and in the middle of Chania and Heraklion and not far from Rhethymo! We loved it. Cool bars and restaurants just a short drive away. Its own private beach and the on site restaurant is stunning! DO get the breakfast - it was so worth it. We loved it all.

This was an oasis of a place. The most gorgeous hotel I have ever stayed in. From its history to the service to the seriously oppressive beauty of this place, it was almost too much to bear. The hotel is surrounded by nature and gorgeous greenery and so it smells incredible. I kept telling myself all my senses were overwhelmed. The rooms were quiet and the beds so comfortable. I slept so deeply and I normally have terrible insomnia... It was so hard to leave. Depressing actually. This place is like art came to live and you are living in it. Its beauty is captivating and warm. I loved the amazing hike you can do from the Arkady Monastery to the hotel. You can arrange with the hotel to be dropped off at monastery and then you hike back thru gorgeous paths and gorges. Breathtaking views and private. The staff at the hotel offered world class service and attention. They were wonderful and so easy to talk to and happy to assist with any request. The breakfast was a bounty of delicious fresh locally-sourced healthy foods. Overall, this was an unbelievable experience. This hotel should be in everyone’s bucket list. Thank you Kapsalianá for the most incredible experience.

We absolutely loved our stay at MGM Suites! If we were coming back to this area for a full week, this is exactly where we would stay again. We stayed in the Orange Suite (the upper suite), and in our opinion it has the best views in the property. The sunsets from the balcony were spectacular, and every morning we enjoyed our coffee while taking in the peaceful scenery. Those balcony moments became some of our favorite memories of the trip. The suite was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. The bed was one of the most comfortable we've slept in while traveling, and the couch and chairs were equally comfortable for relaxing after a day of exploring. The kitchen was outstanding, featuring brand-new appliances, a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, stove, and every cooking utensil you could possibly need. There was even a brand-new espresso machine that still had some of its original wrapping on it! We couldn't quite figure it out, but the next guests who do are in for a treat. The washer, had a wash and dry option which was a huge bonus. Having the ability to wash and dry clothes without hanging them outside made our stay so much more convenient. The bathroom was stocked with high-quality shampoo, conditioner, lotion, plush towels, beach towels, luxurious Turkish cotton hooded bathrobes, an iron, and a hair dryer. (Tip: the hair dryer is tucked away in the vanity drawer—we eventually found it!) We also loved the blackout roll-down window coverings, including the one over the sliding glass door. They made the room wonderfully dark and perfect for sleeping in. The location couldn't have been better. The charming town is just steps away. Instead of walking along the main road, take the beautiful stream-side path into town—it makes the stroll even more enjoyable. Within a minute or two you'll find numerous excellent restaurants, shops, a pharmacy, a mini-market, and everything else you might need.

Close to our destination. The lady at the reception, July 16 at 2200, was wonderful!

The staff were so friendly especially Mr Cristos Despina and Christina
