This beach hotel is located in a very quiet area in Perivolia in western Crete on the coastal road of Rethymnon, about 2 km from the centre of Rethymnon, where guests will find numerous restaurants, bars and shops, nightlife, links to the public transport network, the Venetian harbour, Fortezza Castle and the Archaeological Museum. The beach is just a one-minute walk from the apartment hotel, the taxi stand is 20 m away, a bakery 80 m away, supermarket and kiosk 100 m away, restaurants and cafes 500 m away, and a pharmacy 150 m away. Souda Airport is approximately 75 km from the spa complex and Nikos Kazantzakis Airport is around 80 km away.
The city hotel's architecture is typical of the old (Venetian) town of Rethymnon. The hotel consists of 86 guest rooms housed in 8 smaller buildings that are built next to each other with small narrow streets leading from one side of the hotel to the other. All buildings have 2 floors and none of them features lifts. Guests are welcomed in a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services, and a hotel safe. Further facilities available to guests at the air-conditioned apartment hotel include a children's playground, cafe, bar, restaurant, WIFI Internet access (FREE), room service, a laundry service (fees apply) and a bicycle hire service.
All the apartments are elegant and spacious, and all offer the same facilities (some of them also have hot tub facilities at an extra charge). Each apartment features an en suite bathroom with a shower, bathtub and hairdryer, a double or king-size bed, a kitchen with a fridge, cooker, microwave and tea and coffee making facilities, and either a private balcony or terrace. Other in-room amenities include a direct dial telephone, satellite TV with a DVD player, a radio and hifi, Internet access, a safe, ironing set and individually regulated air conditioning and heating.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Excellent service and happy and helpful staff. Very delicious and exclusive buffet. Clean and nice areas and pools.
Lovely week with the family, the staff at this hotel and indeed the entire town are simply wonderful.
Great hotel, friendly staff, a little bit of a walk into old town but plenty of bars and restaurants near by.
We travelled as a family of four with two 8yr olds. The check in was smooth and got to the room right away. We had booked a loft suite which was fantastic, ground floor has twins beds, table and chairs, small kitchen and small bathroom off. Also a balcony with a side sea view. Upper level was a huge master bedroom, vaulted ceiling and bathroom...bath with shower over.
Having the bigger front pool and the smaller kids pool was good as we mixed it up. The beds do get snapped up fast at the front but the lifeguard removes towels after 30 or so minutes.
The hotel is roughly 30-45min into the town but a taxi is 7euros each way. Lots of places to eat around the hotel and also a bigger supermarket the street behind and along.
The kids club was a great help and was used everyday and Anna was superb with them. To the point they were sad to leave. Also Sophia from the bar team was on hand to serve food and drinks when we required it.
The beach is right over from the hotel with free beds and shades. However rocks galore going into the water so buy or take rubber beach shoes for going in/out of the water.
Overall a great stay and would return. Thanks to all for a lovely stay.
We came here for our honeymoon we spent 6 night 5 days here and it was just stunning from start to finish… the food, the staff and the hotel itself was just stunning we will 100% be back
