"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. The buffet was outstanding, offering a wide variety of fresh, delicious, and quality food every day. There was something for everyone, and every meal exceeded our expectations. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Housekeeping did an excellent job, and everything was maintained to good standard.The staff was professional, friendly, and always willing to help, making our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing experience. We will definitely be coming back!"

"Writing this on the last of 4 amazing days here. It’s about one hour from Chania ariport. Everything here was to our liking. This is a luxurious and also very familiy friendly and homely resort. Beautiful rooms and one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever been to. The pool is amazing. My ten year old loved the mini club, just a few other kids as low season but they became friends and had a great time. Food is delicious, including buffé. Rethymnon 15 min by taxi, beautiful old town however this hotel is so nice we wanted to spend time here! Beach just outside the hotel. Would love to come back soon. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for a perfect time."

"Good meals a bit repetitive, noisy toilets"

"We have spent a week here and really enjoyed it! The staff was always smiling, helpful and friendly! They greeted us warmly and immediately remembered our room number and eating preferences. That made us feel really welcomed. The breakfasts were fresh and delicious. The hotel has a pool located in beautiful garden. The pool and its area were clean, neat and comfortable to use. The room was quiet (we had the one facing the garden), nice and clean. We had a rented car throughout most of our stay but there are bus stops close to the hotel. The whole stay was super relaxing!"

"Very good hotel. The owner is very welcoming and gave me orange juice when I left."

"We have just returned from our first family holiday abroad as a 4 to Aquila Rithymna Beach Hotel, and had a great time. The staff were friendly & polite, and the rooms spotlessly cleaned every day. We were Bed & Breakfast, and found the morning buffet to be excellent. So many choices - pastries, bread, cold meats & cheeses, fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oils, cooked options, crepes, juices and even prosseco! Fresh pots of coffee made for your table were also very well received by 2 tired parents. Our kids especially loved the Greek yoghurt, crepes and traditional Greek pastries :) The en site mini market is really well stocked with everything from sun creams, postcards and water to confectionery, hats, sanitary products, children's toys and swimming gear. Pricier than the local strip shops, but obviously very handy when you can't be bothered going further afield. The pools were lovely - we found the smaller two to be the most pleasant. More chance of nabbing a sunbed turning up after 10am, and still plenty space for the little ones to splash about and hone their swim skills. We could never get the app on the sun loungers to work for ordering drinks which was quite frustrating though! I used the spa one day for a facial and Cretan massage, which I cannot recommend enough. Very relaxing space with lovely ambiance, I wish I'd had time to return before we left! Tasty Corner was an amazing find, children of all boards can eat for free there from 11am every day (snacks, lunch and dinner provided). This was the best find of our holiday - both boys loved the food and we discovered some new things they love eating which we have gone on to buy since getting home! Especial shout out to the really lovely staff there who were super friendly, and even made some baby food especially for our youngest on one occasion :) it was a lovely atmosphere, very clean, and a highlight of our day wandering up. They also had kids sized toilets which were very useful! Special shout out to the kids entertainers as well - our eldest was especially taken with some of the evening shows. Most visitors seemed to be Czech, French or Italian but there was plenty going on in English so he didn't feel left out. Only downside was the extend to which the beach was pebbly. I would say swim shoes are a necessity rather than a nice-to-have, as we found barefoot walking very painful. This also put paid to our sandcastle dreams, so I would bare this in mind if you are looking for a soft sand beach. All in all, a lovely introduction to one of our favourite holiday destinations for our kids and somewhere I would recommend to any family looking for an easy and restful break in the Greek sunshine."

"Positive points: beautiful rooms, a perfectly satisfactory buffet, very friendly staff, and a good entertainment team. Negative points: not at all an eco-friendly establishment: far too much consumption of plastic cups and straws. I was told this was to prevent breakage around the pool, which I understand, but why not use reusable cups? The lights in the corridors leading to the rooms stay on all night, creating a nuisance as they shine under the doors (should motion detectors be installed?). It's a shame, as this gives a bad impression of the establishment, especially on an island where it's preferable to be reasonable in consumption and to preserve this beautiful environment."

"The stay was pleasant. But the selection of food was extremely poor. The room is a bit small for a couple"

"It was so amazing time we spent. The hotel is perfect. So kind personnel. We were satisfied with room service. The food was delicious and various. So,I'd like to advise every family to try it out. Weather, outstanding sea and beautiful landscape whith careness of professionals will make your vocation unforgettable."
