Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels, hotel in Rethymno Town

Facing the beachfront, Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels offers 5-star accommodation in Rethymno Town and features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden.

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel. It's not large, which adds to its charm, and the staff were simply fantastic. The beach is stunning, with direct access from the hotel – no need to cross any roads. The breakfasts were amazing, offering a wide variety of delicious options. It's conveniently located close to Rethymno, making it easy to explore the area. The spa was a delightful experience, and I highly recommend booking a private room with a sauna and Turkish bath. My teenage daughters absolutely loved it. All in all, a wonderful place to relax and enjoy.

Kyma Suites Beach Hotel, hotel in Rethymno Town

Providing a privileged position near the vicinity’s attractions, this small but beautiful hotel features a special architectural structure and is conveniently located in the centre of Rethymnon,...

The hotel is our best experience among many trips to Crete in the last 15 years. We chose this hotel visually a year ago while walking around the old town of Rethymno, but booked the room on Booking.com already 9 months ago in winter. The hotel had gave us a room on the top floor with the most magnificent panoramic view of the old town, harbor and beach. For this, we are happy and sincerely grateful to the hotel staff. The five-star hotel has renovated, modern and comfortable rooms, where we were welcomed with wine, on Sunday morning champagne is offered with lightly salted salmon. The menu is diverse, the food is delicious. At breakfast, fresh orange juice is offered on the table, the waiter of the restaurant brings the requested coffee or herbal tea with honey. The cook bakes and brings to the table an omelette made from the required ingredients or egg. Every night there is a different cuisine - fish night, Greek, Cretan, international vituve, etc. The food does not get boring during the week, because it is varied. Only the wine selection could be wider. If you want dry wine, there are only a few real choices. The main hotel's restaurant quality is enjoying food and drinks without rush and crowds. Hotel guests have the opportunity to attend the wonderful Rethymno city beach for free, where the hotel together with the Kriti Hotel has its own territory and can relax comfortably on sunbeds under an umbrella. The hotel staff, especially at the reception, is exceptionally responsive. Even the guest manager comes to the restaurant to learn about the guest experience and suggestions for improvement. We loved this hotel very much and will definitely return. Already next year! It's great!

Aegean Pearl, hotel in Rethymno Town

Right on the Blue Flag beach at the end of the Rethymno promenade overlooking the Cretan Sea, 5-star Aegean Pearl provides stylish rooms and a Greek breakfast.

Beautiful design, very clean and staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a nice relaxed feel. Although quite a long walk to the old town (when it is hot!) there are loads of shops, bars and restaurants all around the hotel.

    This was a superb hotel. Staff AMAZING. The first 5 Star hotel we have gone to that totally deserves to be 5 Star - Exceptional. Great selection for breakfast and dinner buffets, catering for all nationalities. No early morning booking of sun beds, sun loungers super comfortable and beach towels are plentiful. We'll be back!

    The hotel was very nice. Don’t expect the 5 stars, but the price vs condition was fair! Clean rooms, availability of swimming pool, the location and the staff (super friendly and nice).

    This was a typical Cretan flat which we enjoyed staying in. Not 5 star luxury but perfect for our needs. Great location by the town beach, so it took two minutes to get to the sea, and just outside the old town, so handy for sightseeing. There was a small fruit and veg shop nearby and a supermarket just up the road.

    The hotel was exceptional. It should be 5 stars instead of 4 as we after visited 5 star hotel in Heraklion and Theartemis Palace was much better. Staff was great. They even called to my room via phone and asked about my stay and do I need something, that hotel exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it.
