Beautiful place with a very good restaurant.

Amazing staff, friendly, pool was great. No negative points

location was good to reach if you have a car. Wasn't doable with public transport, is also not recommended. Food variety was okay, not bad but not diverse Also gave us a upgrade and we had a small pool in our room, which was fantastic.

Th staff was very kind and helpfull

Really lovely clean room, very close to the beach and a couple of restaurants and bars.

A very warm welcome on arrival, escorted to our room and given Wine/fruit platter on arrival. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food, there was a great salad selection, fresh fruit and a variety of hot meats. Great for a long weekend.

The hotel has a lovely property, and the room was clean. I attended stretching classes and archery lessons, which were a nice addition. The food was good enough, and the variety changed every day. One evening, for example, it was Greek cuisine, the next was Mexican, and another evening was Japanese. There was also a pool bar with all the basic cocktails. Even if you’re staying on the beach, it only takes about a minute to get to the pool bar. The sea is clean, and there are enough sunbeds on the beach. The real advantage was the adults-only policy, which provides a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The staff was very friendly. We arrived at 10:00 a.m., and although check-in was at 3:00 p.m., they did their best to prepare our room and let us check in at 11:00 a.m. We also had a free room upgrade! Many thanks to the staff!

The hotel and its facilities are excellent. The staff is very nice, rooms are big enough, there are 2 swimming pools and 2 bars plus the beach with the sea. Still, on top of this their restaurant is the most excellent - extreme wide variety of foods, very good quality and every night they offer a dedicated cuisine (like seafood, bbq, japanese food etc.). Most of the guests are from Germany, there were some from UK and the rest is not much.

Rethymno Mare is ideal for families. Our children could spend hours at the water park safely, while we relaxed by the main pool. The food was varied and delicious, and the staff made sure everyone was happy.

Amazing staff, very clean, delicious food, amenities on top

Everthing was great.. food, servise, room…

We celebrated our honeymoon here early June, and we cannot begin to describe how amazing this place was! The staff were incredible, always kind, helpful, prepared (we are especially grateful to Nontas, Spyros, Anna, Elena, Meggy, Paraskevi and of course Iro - in no particular order and also not exclusively, everyone has been amazing), they helped with everything from car rental (which is just across the street) through airport transfer to recommendations of sites to visit and even booking organized events (eg. sunset boat tour). The hotel and the rooms are beautifully designed, but also super functional, comfortable. It is fairly new but everything felt like they’ve been running this place for decades, everything was smooth and well thought through. The gym, the pools (we had a jacuzzi on our balcony), the sunbeds, are all great, functional, comfortable and aesthetic too. Another highlight was the food. We were happy we chose halfboard as the food is so good, great selection, with super nice options for picky eaters (eg. my husband who prefers meat with potato or rice, no veggies) as well as those who want more nutritious, maybe plant-based options, and it changes day-by-day with the classics staying the same, so we didn’t get bored of it even in 10 days (and could have stayed longer). The hotel is located perfectly, easy to visit both Heraklion and Chania by car, but the south coast is also easily reachable (Preveli beach there is wonderful) as well as other sights such as Lake Kournas or the Argyroupoli waterfalls, and the nearest town, Rethymno is also super cute. Overall, we cannot recommend it enough and will be back. And thank you, to the dear hotel staff, for making our honeymoon unforgettable!!!

Generally, the hotel is really nice, but I have some ‘buts’; The design is really beautiful, but looking at the first wear and tear after just being open for 3 months, I hope they will maintain it well enough. The location is quite rural, which definetely has it’s charm and gives a beautiful view, but the road towards it is in pretty bad condition. The rooms have a lot of modern features, with automated curtain closing and one panel for all lights, but it feels a little unnecessarily complicated.

Beautiful, charming hotel! Friendly staff, amazing food on site. Would highly recommend

Beautiful hotel, warm welcome, good service, best food & top location

I am very grateful for the service, attention, and quality of the hotel. The room was very comfortable, spacious, and clean. Many thanks to the ladies who cleaned my room each day. The buffet service at breakfast, lunch, and dinner was impeccable—delicious, plentiful, and with a great variety. Likewise, the people who work in the restaurant and kitchen were very kind, helpful, and friendly. I spoke with some of them and they felt very welcoming. The pool and bar staff also provided excellent service and were very friendly. Similarly, the reception staff were friendly and willing to answer my questions. And many thanks to the manager, Andreas, who was clearly very focused on his work, making sure to be present for each guest, speaking to each of us in our own languages, and even remembering our names. He was very friendly and helpful, working to ensure everyone had the best possible stay. A very good hotel; I highly recommend it, and I will certainly return, and I hope to bring members of my company as well.

Katerina is such a good soul!! The homemade breakfast is sooo delicious !! The villas are amazing !! It was always super clean - the perfect plan to relax and enjoy!

Fantastic location. Staff were incredible. The 3 pools and outdoor sun beds were amazing. Rooftop pool and bar were perfect in the day and evening for a sun set drink. Rooms and Beds / Cocktails / Evening entertainment and buffet were amazing , something different everyday. Highly recommend!!
