Amazing hotel, very clean and modern. Big rooms and terrace. The pool is very nice, you are able to swim and is never crowded. The atmosphere around the pool is also nice, chill music and chairs to relax. The breakfast was amazing, the chef welcomed us and explained the whole menu, it's a mix of classic breakfast with greek food. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Gym is also nice and well equipped. We always had a parking spot right outside the hotel on the street, it's not very crowded. It pretty much exceeded our expectations from a 3 star hotel, they should definitely get 4 stars.

We were extremely satisfied with our stay at Rocca a Mare. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was perfectly clean and comfortable. The rooftop pool is small but absolutely beautiful — a real gem with a lovely view, perfect for relaxing. We truly regret that we stayed only one night; we would have loved to enjoy this place longer. Highly recommended!

Honey Holiday Hotel

Hotel in Bali

Honey Holiday Hotel is located in Bali, a 1-minute walk from Bali Beach North and 14 miles from Museum of Ancient Eleftherna.

S
Solovii
From
United States
I loved the location. Honey is situated in the quieter part of town, further along the coast and closer to the smaller beaches—which I personally preferred over the larger, busier one in the other part of Bali. The apartment is a great option for anyone looking for a 2-room setup without booking two separate hotel rooms. There’s a separate kitchen and living area with a big sofa that can easily sleep two, plus a bedroom with a pretty large, comfy bed. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the appliances you’d need to cook a meal or prepare breakfast in the morning. (The only small critique I’d give is that I wish there were one more power outlet so you could run the toaster and coffee machine at the same time—but that’s really a minor detail.) There’s also a cute balcony with space to hang and dry your swimsuits while you sleep. But the absolute best part of our stay was, OF COURSE, the staff—especially the wonderful Eda. She pretty much runs everything at the hotel, keeps it spotless, manages the plants that would otherwise melt in the Bali heat, and still finds time to make every guest feel welcomed and cared for. A lot of the great memories from our stay are thanks to her specifically. We were traveling all the way from Ukraine and arrived super early—around 7 or 8 a.m.—which is well before check-in. We were completely exhausted, but Eda kindly checked us in early so we could rest and recover after the long trip. She also gave us tons of useful advice about the area: which restaurants are worth visiting (and which ones aren’t), how to snag the best sunbeds, and so on. Her English is excellent, and she’s just the loveliest, most organized hotel boss 😎 and a genuinely great person. If you’re coming to Honey, even if you don’t know anything about how the place works, trust me—you’ll be taken care of ❤️

We had a fantastic stay: spacious room,, great view, excellent breakfast with lots of choices and very fresh fruits and veggies. Ideally located in the city center with public bus service to and from the airport. We’ll be staying here again. All the staff were exceedingly polite, helpful, and knowledgeable about what we asked about. Located very close to an amazing archaeological museum.

We were sadly only here for a quick overnight stay. But during our week in Crete - where we travelled to Chania, Heraklion, and Rethymno - Rethymno was by some margin my favourite destination. Where Chania's historic centre felt as if it had been totally given over to tourism, Rethymno felt more like a substantial town with plenty to explore.

Difficult to judge because we came early in the season when there was a cold wind blowing and not all the places were open. However, there didn't seem to be many places to eat [not a problem for us as there was one excellent place, though would be a problem peak season] . There were a number of apparently abandoned and ill-maintained buildings, which made the place appear less attractive.

The people are very friendly and most speak or can communicate in several European languages. The city is clean (no litter !!) and the food a and drink is excellent Culturally - this is superb - if ancient history and tall tales of greek mythology are of interest - the museums are well laid out and tourist groups "directed" One significant and pleasant item is that if you are an EU resident and 65 plus you get reduced entry fees into the national museums and attractions ( ID needed)

Stalis is perfect for all ages and families. If you want partying then Malia is far enough down the road to go to and it doesn't overspill to Stalis. We ate in a different restaurant each night of our 7 night stay. It has something for everyone and great choices of food. We will return next year for sure. It has everything :)

The town is just the right size — not too big.

The town is just the right size — not too big. Its rural and local character really comes through; we even watched goat herders at work just nearby. There’s a good variety of restaurants and several shops. For those with limited mobility, there’s a convenient flat sidewalk running along the beach. If you’re willing to drive a short distance, there are plenty of stunning beaches to choose from depending on the wind direction. It’s an excellent location for beach life and all kinds of water activities. At Paralia Souda, there was also an aid for wheelchair users to get into the water — provided they’re able to transfer into the seat. There’s also lots to do nearby — one tip is to hike up to Saint Paisios Church or visit the nearby mountain villages with their amazing views towards Plakias (see the photo).

Heraklio is the Big City on Crete.

Heraklio is the Big City on Crete. That said and while it is lovely there are more enjoyable towns and getting around is relatively easy. 4 -5 days in Heraklio was enough for us and the lure of other Cretan places was greater. Overall the Cretan people are mostly welcoming which is heartening given the numbers of tourists going there that must drive them crazy at times!
