A five star would have been given if not for our encounter with a very rude, incorrigible, narcissistic, receptionist. He should not be in the position to deal with guest. The rest of the staff were wonderful, helpful and easy to deal with. First impressions are so important. We did not appreciate being talked down to.

Very nice, clean hotel, staff is helpful and efficient. Great breakfast, beach right across the street with plenty of lounge chairs, restaurants and shopping right outside the hotel. It's a busy area but the rooms are quiet when the doors are closed.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff are absolutely wonderful. Outstanding, all of them! The location is very handy for both the beach and a short walk to the old town. Nice view of the beach if you have one of the suites etc. The hotel itself is a bit dated. If you are used to 5* hotels around the world, you won't get that. It is all decent and functional but just bits here and there are a bit like we used to do things in the naughties 😊 two double beds pushed together to make a king etc etc... Overall nice stay though. The old town is excelled for places to eat and go out. The beach is nice, great water.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Check in was a cluster. I got a "side sea view" room, which was $$, and I got a room that has ZERO sea view and they kept trying to say I got an upgrade to a "suite" (which it was not). I wanted water, I got none, and they insisted, rudely, that I was in the wrong. Eventually they changed me to a side sea view. IMO there is NO WAY this is a 4-5 star resort. 2 at best. Seems like a cheap motel with a nice restaurant and pool with sea front views.

Modernes Hotel, strandnah, nett

Es war ein sehr netter Empfang. Modernes Hotel. Zimmer war nicht so richtig für drei ausgelegt, daher nur zwei Stühle auf dem Balkon, nur Schlafsofa für unsere Tochter, zwei Handtuchplätze am Waschbecken und neben der Dusche. Draußen ein kleiner Wäschetrockner, ansonsten keine weiteren Haken oder Stangen im Bad, wo man Strandtücher oder Pooltücher hätte trocknen können. Buffet gut, Abendessen auch ohne Halbpension problemlos nutzbar für guten Preis. Übelst kalter Innenpool. Draußen haben wir Anfang April nicht probiert. Viele Bars und Restaurants Richtung Hafen/Festung. Ausflug zum Kloster Arkadi in den Bergen gut machbar (gute halbe Stunde Fahrt). Kostenlose hoteleigene Liegen/Schirme am Sandstrand (wir mussten nichts bezahlen - aber sonst muss man angeblich seine Getränke im Gegenzug vom Hotel kaufen.

Flott opphold på Kriti Beach hotell.

Veldig hyggelig og serviceinnstilt personale. Frokosten var helt topp. Gratis håndkle og solstoler på stranden. Kort oppsummert et flott opphold på Kriti Beach hotell. Kommer gjerne igjen.

Wir waren zum dritten Mal dort. 2017 und 2018. Als wir nach Corona dann endlich wieder mal im Urlaub waren und wir uns 2023 wieder für das Kriti Beach entschlossen, wurden wir nicht enttäuscht. Der hohe Standard wurde beibehalten und altbekannte Gesichter der „Mannschaft“ konnten sich ebenfalls noch an uns erinnern. Das gab uns ein so gutes Gefühl :) Wir lieben dieses Hotel und auch der Ort…. ein Traum. Immer wieder gerne

Sehr gutes Hotel in lebhafter Umgebung, der saubere Strand ist direkt gegenüber, nur durch die Uferstraße getrennt und die Altstadt ist fußläufig erreichbar. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Der Pool ist natürlich klein und wird wohl auch kaum genutzt, denn der Strand mit hoteleigenen kostenfreien Liegen ist direkt gegenüber. Einzig ein paar Handtuchhaken mehr hätte ich mir im Badezimmer gewünscht ;o)

Our Room # 309 The hotel is perfectly located. Steps away from restaurants, shops, the beach, and a short hike (20 minutes) to the city center/old port. There's a large grocery store on the same street as the hotel, on the next block up, just walk away from the ocean/main strip up the hill from the hotel. The beach has plenty of beach loungers for free, so you never have to fight for a spot. The beach is also spotlessly clean. My room was a superior/partial sea view. Spacious and clean. The room furniture and hallway carpeting are a little tired, but that's a minor complaint. The wi-fi is great. Lastly, the service was top notch. Check in and check out were a breeze. The staff were professional and friendly. Even the cleaning lady was awesome. We had a super early flight to catch (7am). Not only did the front desk make sure to coordinate a early cab for us, they made sure to have a early breakfast ready for my wife. So thoughtful! Just top notch service! I would definitely come back!

Rom 503 har en jacuzzi på balkongen!

Koselig hotell, rett ved stranden og 5 minutter fra gamlebyen og partygaten. Hotellet tilbyr gjestene sine gratis en egen avdeling på stranden med strandstoler og parasoller. Super belligenhet. Anbefaler rom 503 da det har sjøutsikt og en jacuzzi på balkongen, selv om dette ikke står beskrevet på hotels.com.

3 Star Hotel at best

Room was clean, although very small with a poor layout. Housekeeping visited only once during a 3 night stay. Advertised as free parking but in reality there are just 2 spaces and they were occupied by the same cars for the few days we were there. Outdoor pool is small but ok for a quick dip. Only 4 sunbeds around the pool. Indoor pool and sauna were closed due to covid. Reception staff seem bored and uninterested in the guests, never looking up to acknowledge our presence, constantly glued to their phone screen. Every morning at 8am the hotel has the recycled glass collected, it was so noisy it woke us up every time. Check out time was advertised as 12pm but on the day of the checkout we were told we have to leave at 11am due to covid. Nicely located opposite the beach.

Fantastic staff, always ready to assist and cater to your requests and comforts. Nice property, right in front of the beach within walking distance to everything. Super clean hotel and quite comfortable. Good air-conditioning. I am a light sleeper so some of the front rooms had minor traffic noise, which in most cases shouldn’t bother the average sleeper. Management immediately made every effort to move me to a beautifully appointed suite which was dead quiet-just the way I prefer. Overall this Is a very nice hotel, with nice rooms & facilites, and exemplary staff second to none. Probably one of the best hotels in Rethymno. Would definitely stay again.

Dålig service och ett mediokert hotell

Vi bodde här i 5 nätter. Rummen är väldigt små. Vid en internationell jämförelse så skulle inte hotellet få mer än 3 stjärnor. Läget är bra nära gamla stan och stranden. Personalen är under all kritik. Ingen servicekänsla alls. Extremt dåligt. De enda som hade servicekänsla var städerskan. Receptionen och restaurangen var en katastrof. Jag reser i jobbet mycket och brukar bo på Hyatt, Aman, Mariott och Shangri La mm. Att då kalla detta 4 eller 5 stjärnor är löjligt. Men visst, läget var bra och det var rent på hotellet. Men personalen bör bytas ut direkt! Kreta och Grekland var som vanligt fantastiskt!
