The hotel is located in a rather unsuitable area. One side of the building faces a main road with constant noise. Parking is very inconvenient – guests have to park under a bridge next to garbage bins, which is not appropriate for the hotel’s price category. Unfortunately, the staff do not come across as professional or welcoming, but rather tired and indifferent. The overall impression feels insincere and does not match the standards one would expect in this price range.

We had the best experience at The syntopia, blown away about the service, soooo good food, drinks, room and hospitality. The Syntopia is really the hotel to go to if you want a relaxing and luxury experience. Big thanks to Michael in the reception for taking such good care of us and made us keep our room full day for our late departure, really recommend to take the all inclusive part, then you will have the big range of drinks during the full day and the food was way over all our expecations. Also Harah from the pool service who always had a smile on her face and kept us hydrated by the pool every day. Rooms are also very high designed with inspiring interior. Highly recommend to book this hotel, we will defintely come back! Thank you, Frida & Olof

“A not-to-be-missed experience in Crete!”
The Syntopia exceeded all of our expectations – the hotel was just gorgeous, with all the details carefully curated. We absolutely loved the "overwater" sunbeds by the pool and the fantastic relaxed vibes. Our room was enormous and beautiful, and the staff were exceptionally kind. It's rare to hear such in depth and helpful description of the hotel facilities at check-in, the front desk team were all highly informative and kind. Their recommendations for Rethymno were also spot on! The breakfast was also one of the best I have ever had, even the simple things were seasoned to perfection and the choice was huge. It truly is a gem of a hotel and we will definitely be back!

One of the best hotels where I had the opportunity to stay. Everything was excellent. I would like to especially mention the staff who make every guest feel like a VIP, also the food that was very delicious and of high quality throughout all our stay (food assortment was huge), and of course, the design of the hotel. Thank you for the wonderful experience!"

“Highly recommended”
We stayed at the Syntopia for 4 nights, and it was amazing. Pool: The main pool design is beautiful, and we had the best time just staying there. Service: 10/10 for all personnel. The pool bar have waiters moving around the guests all the time and asks what to bring with a smile. The reception team are very nice, special thanks to Lia for her exceptional hospitality since we checked in until we left.

“Luxury but beware of traffic”
This hotel is definitely a luxury stay. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and exceptionally attentive. There is plenty of food variety, freshly grilled meat and fish were the best options in our opinion. The new rooftop pool addition is fantastic, was our favourite pool! If you do decide to stay here be sure to get a full body massage from Jania!! Her massage technique is so unique and in itself worth coming back for!

The hotel is beautiful and designed to make you feel your vacation in your veins. The room was cleaned daily and the food is good. The main pool is big and clean and the two other pools are nice as well. The workers was kind and always smiling and willing to help. We enjoyed our time at the hotel very much.
