The breakfast, the room, and the swimming pool. Parking right near the front door was handy. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

It is in a super quiet surrounding, still 2 minutes from the sea. Staff was friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast served was varied and plentiful.
There's a rooftop swimming pool which has a nice view of the sea as well (although we didn't use, just went to have a look). Spacious room, comfortable bed. Thanks

The hotel is located in a beautiful and quiet spot, surrounded by cliffs. It features a private, sheltered rocky bay ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The breakfast and dinner were both good, and there are plenty of activities, such as diving, yoga sessions, and evening entertainment. It’s also an excellent base for exploring the southern coast, whether by rental car or through the many organized trips offered by the hotel. For those who enjoy hiking, both Plakias and Amundi Beach are reachable by foot.
Located in Georgioupolis, 1.4 km from Peristeras Beach, Ventale Island Breeze Resort provides accommodation with a fitness centre, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The hotel is brand new, beautiful and clean. Rooms are quite large, nicely decorated and have high tech features such as automatic curtains. The food was excellent and of higher quality than other comparable hotels. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Their services really stands out. The beach is great and the beach beds are very comfortable.

The rooms were large and very comfortable. We were given an upgraded room with a sea view so we were delighted.

The breakfast was incredible. There was so much choice, and the food was all really high quality. Moreover, the staff are all so polite, helpful and well-trained (some of the nicest hotel staff we've ever experienced). We were there for the hotel's last week of operation at the end of its 2024 season, so there was no dinner buffet. Instead, there was a set menu (but we could still order as much as we'd like from this), but this was still great quality. Our only wish would have been for it to include a few more traditional Greek dishes.
The room was great. We were in a Verdant Room (slightly bigger than their standard rooms). We would thoroughly recommend it. The bed was super comfy and spacious, and the bathroom was great, too. The only thing that could improve it would be more hooks from which to hang clothes.
The pools are amazing. We went in November, so it was a bit too chilly to swim in the outdoor pools, but the indoor pool was great - warm and relaxing but still big enough to do lengths. The gym was good - for anyone who knows how to be creative with their resistance training, the cable multi-gym they have still allows you to do a lot (this is coming from someone who has spent 10+ years working in the health & fitness space).
The location is also great, as the hotel itself is very close to Rethymno (if you like walking, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the Old Town). If not, it's a 10-15 minute drive.
Overall, it's a fantastic 5* hotel that we would recommend to anyone wanting to experience Crete in a bit of luxury. We will definitely return when we next visit Crete (which we will do, as there is so much to see!)
The luxurious Rimondi Boutique Hotel in Rethymno has a large patio with a pool and palm trees.

We were delighted to be offered an upgrade to a truly beautiful room with balcony overlooking the pool and a separate sun terrace . The breakfast was fresh and offered a wide array of choices and eggs would be cooked to your taste .
What better way to unwind after a day’s sightseeing than relaxing in a health and wellness spa? Spa hotels focus on maximum relaxation for their guests, with luxury features like hot tubs, thermal pools and professional massage services. Some spa hotels use mineral-rich water pumped straight out of the ground, helping to maintain and restore good health.
I stayed for 7 nights there with my family and we absolutely enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and taken care of and giving us the perfect space to unwind
And live that vacation vibe. Personally I loved the yard with the hammocks to relax early in the morning or late at night. Our favorite part: the hosts. It felt for us like family friends that we were visiting. Very kind and warmhearted 🫶🏼
Fully equipped family apartment with a touch of luxury
Extremely friendly and helpful staff
Copious breakfast served in the room
Spa with jacuzzi and excellent masseurs
Perfectly situated close to the beach and village centre
This has to be one of the finest places to stay anywhere in Crete. We wanted somewhere small where you get the personal touch, yet somewhere operating to luxury standards. Here we got both. By the end we got to know all the staff who were exceptional. Nowhere have I felt more relaxed than here in 25 years of travelling. Location is perfect for easy access to the whole of wonderful Plakias.
Outstanding breakfast and dinner included in our bedroom rate. Great choice. Great common areas for relax, swimming pool very well kept, kids pool could use a bit more shade, but otherwise great. Lovely Tuesday evening live music entertainment. Very good size bedrooms. Staff was always super helpful and smiling.
Absolutely gorgeous hotel that was relaxing and beautiful. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the tasty breakfast that was brought to our room each morning. Plakias is a great place to stay for beaches, restaurants and a good buzz! We loved our stay here! It was such a peaceful holiday!
Very friendly helpful staff. Large west facing balcony. Spacious comfortable room. Excellent. breakfast served in the room. Very good pool towels and robes.
Stefanos is a beautiful medium sized modern hotel complex, built in greek style up on the slopes overlooking Plakias Bay, with great views but quit location. Spacious apartment with all what is needed, including seaview, spacious balcony (with private hot spa), very friendly staff, good breakfast buffet and also nice infinity pool (for which it was too cold and windy during our stay, but is awesome).
A lovely, modern and spotlessly clean small block of apartments. Interiors were spacious with big bathrooms. We didn't use the spa but were told the sauna and jacuzzi were complimentary. The pool area and garden were attractive, good-sized, and quiet when we were there. Breakfast was served on our balcony - a lovely, generous selection. Great value for money. Very helpful staff and lots of free snacks - sweets, juice and raki. Would recommend.
