This is a beautiful hotel with excellent, comfy beds, great staff and it's on the sea! The beach nearby is pebbly and it's a 25 minute walk to the old town - not a huge amount to do in the immediate area, but the hotel itself more than makes up for that!

Sea front suite in Rethymno

I booked a Jr. suite and it is very nicely appointed. The air conditioning works perfectly. The room is maintained nicely and I had a loft bedroom facing the sea with a small balcony overlooking the sea. The decor was very nice with a living area with sofa, cocktail table. The in room safe was not bolted very odd and concerning they need to correct that. I had two bathrooms one on the main level with large shower and one in the loft bedroom a large circular sinker tub very nice to take a nice hot soak. Breakfast was very nice buffet with a large sweet and savoury selection including fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, very nice coffee. The lighting in my room is also very nice and thought out. The location is a bit far from Old town Rethymno a 30 minute walk but the local bus, walk or taxi will get you there fast. The upside is you are on the beach and have loungers and a semi private beach at your disposal. There are also some very fine dining options within one block and at the property were you can dine on the ocean and enjoy a very nice sunset.

View to die for!!! Excellent place, amazing boutique hotel with incredible view, sea had to many waves, so we used the little pool, which was great and had an awesome time. Restaurant was top tier, food was great, service was great, seafood moussaka not so much, order anything else, you will thank me for it, will stay here again next year. Great couples place.

Great place to stay in Rethymno!

This hotel was one of our favorites over our 3 week holiday on Crete. Many other reviewers commented on the lack of parking so we proactively reached out to the hotel to get recommendations on where to park. There is a free lot about 100 meters from the hotel. It's a gravel lot, but it did the job. There is a small pull out where you can drop your luggage quickly before you move the car. From the reception to the wait staff this hotel was on point. The room was spacious and modern and comfortable with a lovely balcony overlooking the water. The hotel has it's own restaurant and bar which is quite delicious. The private beach, like most Crete beaches, is rocky and water shoes are a good choice, but it is quiet and the water is clean and warm. We truly enjoyed our stay! It is a bit too far to walk to Old Town but the cabs are cheap and a good way to get back and forth (even if you have a car - the cab is a good way to get to Old Town).

Nice comfy room

Everything was great. Except two little things. They have no parking and you need to find parking on the street. Good luck when it’s summertime. Occasionally the sewer smell which is not their fault but the fault of the town. What they attend to it right away when there is the smell. Otherwise, a nice little boutique hotel located right on the water with a small balcony which is just perfect.

Charming property and one of the best parts is the view which is just spectacular, you can’t get any closer to the sea! The room and breakfast were nice and we had one meal in the restaurant which was lovely and had a great atmosphere. It’s located outside the main area of Rethymno but worth it for its charm and an easy taxi ride away!

Right on the sea

Amazing location right on the ocean with a small brown sand/stone beach to one side. Beach towels are supplied by the hotel. Although it’s a bit out of the old town, the local bus stop is across the road so it’s easy to get around. The room was very clean and the bed comfy. In our room the bed was in a loft reached by stairs. There is a small fridge, sink and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was included which was a fairly standard buffet. Staff were all friendly and helpful - overall an enjoyable stay.

The staff are the biggest asset of this hotel, they are extremely friendly, welcoming, and very open to building a raport that offers a huge benefit in making the most of your stay. Well worth the time to get to know them as they truly are a brilliant team. We highly appreciated everyone working there, but a special shoutout to Ilona and Aris for their diamond quality hospitality. The rooms were spotless, the food was absolutely gorgeous, the private beach was excellent to relax on (particularly after destroying our legs on the Somaria Gorge!). It is located fairly close to Old Town, but not too close so that it avoids the hussle and bussle! We would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Thank you Thallassa <3

Nice but general management and cleanliness poor

Nice hotel overall with lovely staff. Cleanliness let it down - when you pay for a sea view but they don't clean the windows. Also it suffers sea wash and there is usually too much sea weed around the restaurant that does not get cleaned before breakfast. Not a great location and no parking. The hotel has the potential to do much better since the rooms are modern and the staff are great - looks as though its let down from a general management perspective
