"Im Anna Plakias fanden wir eine ruhige Unterkunft in Laufdistanz zum Strand und den Restaurants von Plakias. Sauber, regelmässig gereinigt. Leider war der Pool zu stark mit Chemikalien durchsetzt."

"Beautiful quiet spot! A walk or cycle from the Center of Frangkocastello (and where the beach is wonderful and child friendly too). The taverna on the sea front just infront of the property has excellent traditional Greek food and there are many more to try in the center too. Very peaceful location, with a few similar looking apartment hotels scattered along this coastline. The hosts are wonderful. A pool was just finishing being built right behind the current apartments property and looked like...

"This was by far the most unique, amazing hotel we stayed at on the island of Crete. Upon arrival we were given fresh-squeezed lemonade made from their own lemon trees. The staff was so friendly! The building is over 500 years old, and nothing like I've ever seen before. The suite we got was huge, (living room, full kitchen, dining room, and bathroom downstairs and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs). We had our own private patio and a back door that led right to the pool. The town and the people...

"Zum zweiten Mal hier gewesen und bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal. Etwas abgeschieden in den Bergen und ca. 20 min Fahrt bis zum Strand aber trotzdem für uns hervorragend."

"We were so pleased with our stay at Steris Elegant Beach Hotel! We arrived past midnight on our first day because of a delayed flight and the staff, especially Dino, was so welcoming and helpful, which was a great start to our stay. We loved having the beach right out front of our hotel, and the beach service with chairs, umbrellas, food and drinks was fantastic. The rooms are also very clean, the ac works great and the location is near the old town, supermarkets, tourist and local shops....

"The staff at this hotel is amazing! Everyone is so nice and go above and beyond to help. The breakfast is delicious and varied, the rooms are clean and have all you need, and the hotel is two blocks away from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here!"

"Hotel easy to find, next to large supermarket on a main road, a mile from the cross island route. Some parking, 3 allocated spaces and then on street parking nearby
Has a lift but some stairs involved for most rooms. Room was a 2 room apartment with a large lounge/kitchen area, with a large Smart TV, oven, hob and fridge.
Balcony off each room, large shower room, and plenty of storage space.
Complimentary breakfast was good.
Pool area limited, not enough sunbeds and begins to lose sun from about 3pm.
Staff were pleasant and helpful.
100yds from the massive beach and its safe promenade full of bars and restaurants leading to town, about a mile away. The main road option I would avoid on foot, parked cars and busy junctions."
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything felt exceptionally clean and well maintained, with a calm, relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to unwind.
Our room was light, airy and spacious, with a recently refurbished boutique feel. The small kitchenette was very handy for snacks and chilled drinks, and the partial sea view was a lovely way to start each morning.
Staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, always greeting us as we came and went. They shared helpful local knowledge and arranged a taxi to Knossos so we could avoid organised tours and arrive early, which really supported our children’s neurodivergent needs.
Although we booked room only, we enjoyed snacks from the pool bar, and the food and drink options were great. The location was ideal: our teens could easily access the nearby beach and shops, and there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Staff also recommended quieter spots further along the beach for sunbeds.
The pool was a perfect size, and all the facilities we saw were tidy and well maintained. We especially appreciated the relaxed vibe, the helpful staff, and being close to restaurants without being in the busiest part of Rethymno.
Minor downsides were the small bathroom and limited storage — a chest of drawers or extra shelving would have been useful, and the wardrobe needed more hangers.
Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and would happily return."
"Excellent service from the staff at the hotel at breakfast and at dinners. Clean rooms with modern fit out. Overall well located property with easy access to old town and the beach ofcourse."
"We had a superior sea view room which did not disappoint. We only stayed 3 nights but thoroughly enjoyed it. Evenings are chilled, and daytimes we used the private beach. An overall luxurious resort."
"We had a wonderful few days at Aquila Porto Rethymno. The property is beautiful and well maintained and with many additional facilities and games than expected. We went mid-June and had a wonderful time at the pool and beach, easily finding chairs, however, the drinks service was slow. The breakfast spread was delicious and plentiful. Very convenient location with easy walking distance to town."
"The hotel is clean, had great vibe and interior design. Amenities include a small gym with good equipment and a yoga studio. Good was fantastic, great section for meat and non-meat eaters. Restaurant and bar staff very friendly and good service. Good selection of pools, just have to be up early for main pool ‘best’ beds, with canopies. Can’t fault the hotel but was disappointed with the reception service. We went for our honeymoon and pre-told the hotel. We weren’t given an upgrade like many couple we spoke to and like many reviews show. We actually were given a different room for the 1st night because our original room was broken. Meaning we had to move room the following morning and couldn’t unpack and relax the night of arrival. The room was bigger and reception made it sound like they were giving a complimentary upgrade (for 12 hours), though it was only because they had to and it actually gave us more inconvenience. As a ‘sorry’ we got given the same fruit platter and sparkling that we would have got anyway as it was our honeymoon. After that bad start the rest of the stay was lovely. "
