Could be better for a 5-star resort
Overall aan excellent stay. Quite impeccable. Two things however for a 5-star hotel, there should be parking facilities options. We are left own our own. Options could include an underground garage, possibly off valet parking (with a fee) or at the very least, clear indications with maps of the locations of paid parking lots. Second thing, again a 5-star hotel should have either freshly squeezed orange juice or at least pitchers of none-concentrated OJ. Certainly not pale OJ from a fountain dispenser.

Service not 5-star level but friendly staff.
Parking: For those of you with rental cars, there is no parking at the hotel and no parking space available in close vicinity either. Closest paid parking is 20 minutes away. Service: Its a mixed bag. Very friendly staff, however we wanted to extend our stay with one night and unfortunately there was a mix up. We eventually solved it, but the inconveniece of discussing the issue with the staff took several hours (and made us uncomfortable). Otherwise very attentive and friendly staff overall.

Great place for great holidays
It's a great location, highly recommend, quite and in the middle of live of this beautiful city Retimno. Great shopping, beautiful long beach with sand and warm water. Beach is just 1 min walk and it's really close, we went swimming in the early morning and late everything for sunset. Beds are good. Room is quite big and you find there everything to dry your swimwear. Only teakettle in the room was missing. Food in the hotel is ok, we had only breakfast, but around there are plenty of taverns, bars, coffeeshops, and supermarkets with fresh fruits and good prices. Next i stayed in Agia Pelagia, it's terrible. Rethymno is really great place for great holidays

1st week
The Reception team were polite and helpful with the new electronic check-in and contactless check out. The service staff in the restaurants were not helpful and didn’t know when the App worked for service. The first day we had to wait for cutlery. The second day the tables has been properly ser-up. The water for the bath was yellow and slow to drain away. The shower and sink water were fine. Whilst there was disinfectant stations throughout there were regularly small bags of rubbish near the elevator.

Property had a great view and staff very friendly. In a great location to walk to restaurants. I recommend eating at a restaurant off the ocean front for lunch and dinner as it gives you a better flavor of Greek Cuisine. Breakfast was very good with a lot of options. It is dated and the walls were not sound proof so we could hear the people in the next room. Thankfully, folks around us were not loud and went to bed early.

Great location and amenities. Regrettably they have no parking lot so if you drive a car there, expect logistic challenges in finding a place to park overnight. The service is quite good - not 5 star, but friendly overall.

Great location and so many restaurants and shops close by which makes it convenient. The staff is friendly and helpful and very accommodating. I was not impressed with the spa and the location (right by the fitness center inside the hotel) made my massage not enjoyable since I can hear the noise from the treadmill and people talking right outside. The pools are great and there are three of them, too bad they close early, around 6pm so after a long day of activities or excursions you won’t be able to enjoy the pool. The hotel is great and has several on site locations to eat and drink. The breakfast was not too impressive and we only ate it once during our 5 day stay since the options were limited. But Rethymno is amazing and we had a great time. This place is about 1-1.10 hours from the port or airport.
