RETHYMNO PALACE

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Rethymno Palace in Crete. The hotel is excellent, located in a beautiful area, with everything you need for a perfect holiday. We stayed here as a couple on an all-inclusive basis and were truly impressed by the quality of the food and drinks. There was always a great variety of delicious meals and the cocktails were really good. The hotel offers many activities and attractions — we enjoyed everything from table tennis to tennis, and there was always something fun to do. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more special. We felt very comfortable and truly enjoyed every moment here. Overall, Rethymno Palace is a wonderful hotel and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, high-quality holiday in Crete. We would love to come back again!

The staff were really kind and attentive to detail. Whether we talk about the beach bar staff, the breakfast/lunch/dinner staff, the cleaning ladies, reception, or the hotel operator. They are all cheerful, full of energy, always smiling, and doing their best to meet our requests. Our room was cleaned daily, including changing the towels. Around the pool there are plenty of sunbeds, and the water is pleasant even for kids (the pool is 1.10m to 3.0m deep). The beach is literally 5m from the beach bar, with free sunbeds for hotel guests (beach towels are available with a €10 deposit). At the beach bar there are different events each day, with music playing and TVs on. The hotel includes table tennis, a tennis court (which we used during our stay), a snooker table, and table football. As a young couple, we found everything we needed to enjoy our stay. At reception, they even helped us rent a car. Last but not least, the food is delicious. A different regional dinner each day (Italian, Greek, vegetarian, Japanese, etc.). The breakfast buffet is also rich, with a huge list of options, and the same goes for the lunch buffet. Lobed the cocktails at the beach bar 😂

Ok hotel, but probably not worth the full price. We bought it through a last minute deal so we were content, but we wouldn't quite call it a 5* resort compared to other hotels we have stayed at. If you mainly want to drink and sunbathe and are ok with eating similar but good food every day, this is the hotel for you. Pros: Most of the staff is friendly and super helpful. They were the highlight of our stay. The food was usually good, lots of seafood. Rooms were clean and cleaned properly every day and each room has a big balcony. The hotel has a nice (although a bit dated) design. There were few children, so the hotel felt calm and relaxing. Coffee and drinks at the beach/pool bar were very good and there is a huge selection. Cappucinos were great, we loved the bartenders. We arrrived around 3 in the morning and there were tables ready waiting for us with cold water and a small snack plate, which was great. Cons: The biggest, most annoying problem, is that there isn't enough sunbeds, and the hotel was full of people who would get up very early, come to the beach, reserve them with a towel, and then leave for multiple hours. The beach is much smaller than it looks from the pictures. So unles you get up at 7am, you likely won't get a sunbed! Even though there is a sign claiming that it is forbiden and that towels will be removed from reserved sunbeds, noone actually does that. There are some extra sunbeds folded by the pool, but you have to carry them over to a section of the garden and lay there on the grass and walk 100-200 metres to the pool/sea. This really ruined our experience, as we had to choose between sleeping and having sunbeds to lay on. The beach is only partially sandy and it's a must to have swim shoes, otherwise you will hurt yourself. There is a long concrete /stone section you have to cross with water around knee level. We saw many older people struggling to walk on the stones, and some people even slipped. If you have any sort of mobility issue, you will have a problem getting into the water. There is no way to get coffee before 10 am, as the machines in the breakfast buffet only serve a horrible brownish mixture that doesn't taste like coffee at all, and the bar only opens at 10. So you get up at 7 to get a sunbed and then wait 3 hours for coffee. We had to buy coffee each morning from a nearby shop. The food was good but very oily, everything was fried in buckets of oil. The meals felt very focused on french clients, who were a majority in the hotel, and we really missed any greek meals (such as pita, musaka, haloumi etc). The restaurant isn't big enough for the whole hotel so we had to race other people for empty tables, meanwhile the poor staff was absolutely overworked and didn't have time to clean everything up in time.

Nice hotel with perfect location on the beach. Good, clean room, very kind and helpful staff and enough of tasty food.

There are close a sighs around hotel. Good drink with magnificent View from the bar to beach

Very nice resort highly recommended! Staff is fantastic! Great beach access and very family friendly! Food and drinks are amazing!

A very pleasant place for a holiday. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is located right on the beach and offers everything you may need during your stay. There are plenty of shops nearby, as well as stores within the hotel. The surroundings are beautiful, and there is plenty of space for guests to relax and enjoy their vacation.
