Tylko nie w tym hotelu
Pros:

Dość obfite śniadania

Cons:

Bardzo wolno działa WiFi. W pokoju była maszyna do robienia kawy, ale naboje z kawą trzeba kupować w recepcji. W pierwszym dniu gościnnie byli wystawione mała butelka wina i jedna butelka wody. Na następny dzień butelki wody już nie dali - w recepcji powiedzieli że ta butelka była na cały tydzień naszego pobytu. Kiedy zamawiałem, to zaznaczyłem że chcę jedno duże łóżko i otrzymałem potwierdzenie. W rezultacie byli dwa łóżka które non stop odsuwali się od siebie. I to hotel 5*!!!

Pros:

Perfect hotel with supportive staff. The private beach is just across the road, which is very slightly inconvenient. The city center is nearby - just about 20 minutes by foot. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

Cannot remember a thing

Больше не приедем в этот отель. Есть намного лучшие отели в Ретимно за меньшие деньги.
Pros:

Хорошие завтраки, уборка номера

Cons:

Отсутствие парковки, парковку для машины можно искать 40-50 минут. Постоянный канализации в номере, нет нормального душа в ванной, нет большого зеркала и места для макияжа. Платные лежаки в первых двух рядах, на которых никто не лежал. Это просто позор. Ужасный сервис на пляже. Кофе очень плохого качества даже в баре.

Creta For Ever
Pros:

la colazione era fantastica, la posizione era fantastica.

Cons:

Personale molto gentile, ma per un'albergo a 5 stelle in cui non c'è nessuno che parla Italiano e /o Spagnolo è un pò grave.
Le pulizie non erano eccezionali, infatti dovevamo dire di pulire la macchina del caffè, di lasciare le cialde, di pulire il balcone esterno, poichè quando tornavamo da mare inevitabilmente un pò di sabbia te la portavi dietro.

Nos plus belles vacances !
Pros:

Superbe hôtel. Chambre confortable, literie super confortable, tout le nécessaire est présent. Terrasse vue mer superbe. Plage juste en face… toujours un transat pour vous. Serviette de plage à disposition. Service de plage top. Côté déjeuner, buffet incroyable avec un choix sans cesse renouvelé de salé et de sucré. Toujours une place pour vous. Service, gentillesse, sourire dès le matin… les dîner au restaurant Plaza de Porto… juste incroyable ! Les crevettes saganiki, les salades grecques et le tsatsiki, les pastas calamarata au ragoût crétois… tout est excellent. Les vins Cretois sont incroyables. Et le service de Vassili… topissime, une très belle personne qui nous aura gratifié d’une superbe danse traditionnelle. Un vrai grand merci à toute l’équipe, du manager, aux personnes de la restauration, au personnel de chambre… vraiment nos plus belles vacances depuis très longtemps. Humaines, généreuse et passionnantes, animées de très belles rencontres, un superbe moment suspendu dans le temps avec des souvenirs que nous n’oublierons pas.
Sans oublier les balades à Rethymno vielle ville… ses rues commerçantes, ses restaurants du port… les visites du musée d’art moderne, du musée d’archéologie, de la citadelle, des églises et de la cathédrale… Rethymno, le mixte parfait entre farniente en bord de plage, culture et gastronomie Crétoise. Encore merci à toute l’équipe de l’hôtel ! Bravo !

Cons:

Nous cherchons encore….

Pros:

Excellent service and kind personnel. They are really going the extra mile to be of service!
Great selection during breakfast.
The sea view is great.
The windows are well insulated so the traffic in front of the hotel is not as disturbing as I feared.

Cons:

The rooms need a facelift lift, in particular the bathroom that smelled a bit of mold and had dirty or worn down grout lines. I want to point out that the rooms are nice and tidy, but perhaps not living up to the pictures shown.

Pros:

Здравствуйте! Нам понравилось все! Номер отличный, а вид из окна был просто потрясающий! Отдельно хочу отметить невероятно вкусный хлеб, и вообще вся еда. Но самое главное, это персонал, чудесный, отзывчивый, дружелюбный, спасибо большое, девчонки) Что касается расположения, - смотрим карту, - лучше не найти!)

Lovely stay
Pros:

Just stayed 10 days here on an all inclusive,twin sea view room.The room was modern and well maintained with the facilities you'd expect in a 5 star.The location is ideal just across a busy road from the beach which is free to hotel guests apart from the first 2 rows where there is a charge.There is a beach drinks service which is included in AI.Its a 10 to 15 minute walk into the old town which is busy but lovely to explore.
The atmosphere is relaxed and most of the entertainment classy(apart from the dj who played club music which didn't suit the clientele.
The staff are really friendly and welcoming.The food in the buffet is excellent,as us the food in the a la carte restaurant.
The only negative is that there are no courtesy rooms to shower and change before leaving,you can use the spa(small)or the poolside changing rooms(wet)you can request to keep a room on but at €90 until 4pm was a bit steep,and no guarantee you'd stay in your room might be allocated another.
That being said we had a lovely time
