Rethymno Palace

Rethymno Palace

📍 Adelianos Kampos, Adelianos Kampos
★★★★★ 8.9 (47 reviews)

"The staff were really kind and attentive to detail. Whether we talk about the beach bar staff, the breakfast/lunch/dinner staff, the cleaning ladies, reception, or the hotel operator. They are all cheerful, full of energy, always smiling, and doing their best to meet our requests. Our room was cleaned daily, including changing the towels. Around the pool there are plenty of sunbeds, and the water is pleasant even for kids (the pool is 1.10m to 3.0m deep). The beach is literally 5m from the beach bar, with free sunbeds for hotel guests (beach towels are available with a €10 deposit). At the beach bar there are different events each day, with music playing and TVs on. The hotel includes table tennis, a tennis court (which we used during our stay), a snooker table, and table football. As a young couple, we found everything we needed to enjoy our stay. At reception, they even helped us rent a car. Last but not least, the food is delicious. A different regional dinner each day (Italian, Greek, vegetarian, Japanese, etc.). The breakfast buffet is also rich, with a huge list of options, and the same goes for the lunch buffet. Lobed the cocktails at the beach bar 😂"

Grecotel Villa Oliva

📍 74100 Adelianos, Adelianos Kampos
★★★ 9.2 (49 reviews)

"We recently stayed at Villa Olive in Adelianos Kampos, near Rethymno, and had a very pleasant experience. This charming boutique hotel offers a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a comfortable stay in this part of Crete. The staff were exceptionally friendly, smiling, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit, helping to create a warm and enjoyable experience. The hotel has a lovely pool area, and our room was spacious and well appointed. One particular highlight was the bathroom, which featured a huge shower and plenty of space. Breakfast was excellent, with a good selection of fresh and tasty options to start the day. The only downside during our stay was that the air conditioning in the room was not working effectively. As it was a particularly hot evening, this made it difficult to fully enjoy the room and get comfortable overnight. Despite this issue, Villa Olive is a lovely hotel with great service and a welcoming atmosphere. If you are looking for a good mid-range hotel in the Rethymno area of Crete, I would certainly recommend it."

📍 Adele, Adelianos Kampos
★★★★ 8.2 (39 reviews)

"A lovely resort with fantastic staff. Thanks to Nikky for her advice. They offered some great excursions. The pool was a bit chilly, but we were there in September. The beach, however, was really not great. It would be a good idea to install motion-activated lights in the hallways, as it would save them a lot of money and be better for the guests, since light leaks under the doors and it's a bit annoying. Overall, a great and very relaxing stay."

Eva Bay Hotel on the Beach - Adults Only Hotels in Arkadi

Eva Bay Hotel on the Beach - Adults Only

"The best vacation we’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the receptionist, who provided us with all the information we needed. Our room was very cozy, with a beautiful view of the sea and the pool. The bed was incredibly soft and comfortable. The pool area was amazing, with large sun loungers that felt like beds—also very soft and comfortable. The bar offered a wide variety of drinks, and the beach was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The food was absolutely delicious, with an incredible selection of hot dishes, desserts, and beverages. One of the biggest advantages was the peaceful atmosphere, as this is an adults-only hotel with no children. The location is also very convenient. Within walking distance, there are plenty of shops and restaurants, and getting to Rethymno is very easy, whether by bus or taxi. A special mention goes to all the staff—they were incredibly professional, friendly, and genuinely kind. A special thank you to Georgia, Irina and Panagiota for the outstanding service, amazing drinks, very warm conversations and their friendliness and genuine warmth. Would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the owner Pantelis, It was the first time we had seen a hotel owner personally helping the staff, being so genuine, caring, and attentive, while truly valuing the opinions and comfort of the guests. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy a perfect and unforgettable holiday!"

"This place is simply amazing! We were amazed by the modern architecture of the villa house, amazed by the astonishing views on the open sea and unforgetable sunsets, amazed by the huge private pool and amazed by the peaceful country side sorrounded by olive trees. This is a complex of 2 villa houses and 5 apartments and it is so clever designed that you won’t feel lonely here, but at the same time you will have your own intimacy. We were in one of the villas and had the best relaxing vacations ever! Highly recommend."

"Just returned from a 10 day stay with my daughter at this lovely hotel. This was my daughter’s second visit. We had a lovely ground floor room that overlooked the pool. The room had everything we needed for our stay. Had towels and also beach/pool towels which was great. Our bed was so comfy and huge. The aircon was great. The room was spotless and cleaned everyday. For our stay we had breakfast and evening meal which was lovely. Lots to pick from and cater for everyone. Spotlessly clean everywhere. The staff were amazing. Such happy people. It was like I had always known them. The staff helped us with what buses we wanted to get. The bus stop was a 2 minute walk and only cost 2 euros to get to the old town which was about a 30min ride. I will be returning. Thank you for making my holiday 🙂"

Sunrise Apartments Hotels in Arkadi

"Very nice stay. Quiet with nice view and the apartments are modern and roomy. Lots of restaurants, supermarkets and coffee shops, bakeries close by, but they are at the bottom of the hill so a car is good to have but they are walking distance. I can definitely recommend staying."

Kapsaliana Village Hotel Hotels in Arkadi

Kapsaliana Village Hotel

"What a great resort! Excellent on all fronts - views, facilities, staff, restaurant. The entire hotel is a remodeled small Greek village - so it’s extremely charming and the facilities are gorgeous. Our room included a large living area and a very private balcony with views of the canyon, perfect for sipping wine in the evening or enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. The breakfast at the restaurant is amazing! You need a car to stay here, since it was out of the way from the coastal cities, in the hills. However, it is within driving distance of a few charming villages with cafes and tavernas, so you can enjoy a nice local dinner on your way back from a day trip. Highly recommend this hotel/resort. And best of all, it is a part of Hyatt system, so you can accumulate points in Hyatt."

"Their rooms have cockroahes, and they don’t even do anything about it. I just got the massage from the reception, that I could kill it myself. Then turned up another one, then another….how disgusting is that! At the end of our stay, we gave a live one back to the reception - since they like them. We Never Ever come back!"

Caramel, A Grecotel Resort to Live ★★★★★
"Just back from a magical 8 days at the Caramel. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was perfect and nothing too much trouble for the staff. The accommodation was perfect and a 3 bed villa was ideal for the 5 of us. The buffet food was brilliant and varied - probably the best buffet experience we have had. We will definitely be back! Would certainly recommend if you are looking for a truly magical holiday!"

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire staff for their exceptional hospitality. The kindness, warmth, and genuine care we received throughout our stay made our experience truly unforgettable. It is rare to meet people who are so friendly, attentive, and dedicated to their work. Honestly, we have seldom encountered a team with such remarkable human qualities. A very special thank you to Lia, Martina, Daniela, Mellina, Irini, and Anter, each of whom contributed in their own way to making our stay even more enjoyable. Their professionalism, availability, and positive attitude deserve special recognition. We are leaving with wonderful memories and a strong desire to return. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your extraordinary welcome and outstanding service. With our deepest gratitude The French couple, Anaïs & Aurélie ❤️"

Grecotel Villa Oliva ★★★
"Stayed sept 2025 this a totally honest review. arrived to a warm welcome shown to lovely ground floor room opposite the pool with a terrace the room was lovely and very clean. The mattress was very soft and lumpy maybe it is time for a change of mattress The breakfast was lovely great coffee and omeletes. All the staff were kind and respectful and very helpful. The pool area was lovely but the hand rails at the steps to get into the pool were wobbly so i did not go in as i felt unsecure it was a shame shops and eateries are close by. I would go back again in 2026 if the mattress was changed for a harder one and the hand rails were stabalised so i could use the pool thanks to all the staff for their hard work."
