Badeurlaub in Rethymno
Pros:

Kleines Hotel, Lage direkt am Strand (steinig), direkter Zugang zum Meer, äußerst freundliches + aufmerksames Personal. Sehr engagierte Hotelchefin, die sich täglich um das Wohl der Gäste sorgt.
Etliche Restaurants am Meer fußläufig in der Nähe. Altstadt + Hafen von Rethymno 20...25 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar.

Cons:

Frühstücksbuffet "überschaubar", zwar mit leckeren Salaten und Eiern, aber Wurst, Käse, Marmelade sehr einfach.

Pros:

The staff is amazing, very kind and willing to help. Great breakfast and good position by the sea

Cons:

The room was decent but the bathroom was very small, the shower was half open, it was impossible not to wet the floor. The sink was extremely small. It is probably a good option for 1-2 nights max.

Value for money, but a bit old/small, more for old couples
Pros:

Staff was helpful. Not crowded. Direct access to the sea (sea shoes needed from my perspective). Nice breakfast (I liked, my wife didnt). Airconditioned room. Kept clean. Nice restaurants in walking distance

Cons:

Small rooms, not enough space to store anything. Lots of stairs for you to carry your luggage. Parking is a bit difficult, not easy to stop in front of the hotel. It is just on a busy street.

Pros:

Der late check-in war sehr gut. Ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt und ich würde bei einem erneuten Besuch auf Kreta schauen, ob ich hier ein Zimmer bekomme. Alle waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war lecker und frisch und die nähe zum Meer, unschlagbar.

Stylish hotel. Great value for money
Pros:

The hotel is located at the first line with direct access to the sea (+great surrounding area with swimming pool). Wide shallow sea part for the kids.
Room facilities (kettle and coffee/tea) are included. Top service - Eva, general manager, and the team are doing a great job altogether (starting from welcoming and informative messages before the arrival till cleaning services and support during the stay). They create a magical cosy and relaxing atmosphere and maintain the facilities in good condition.

Amazing sea view, free parking nearby, free shuttle bus to Rethymno City Center.

Home made breakfast is excellent.

Cons:

WiFi may be weak sometimes (but it may relate to my devices as the mobile network wasn't stable either). The bathroom is relatively small, the building is not new but well maintained.
