Beautiful spot in Rethymno with lovely hotel owner

Beautiful hotel with spectacular views across the ocean and town. The breakfast buffet was exceptional with so much variety. Lovely hotel room with a decent sized balcony and well equipped. The hotel owner, Stelios and his wife were very welcoming and stayed up late to greet us for our late 1am arrival and was always so cheerful and friendly and really made our stay.

Great hotel with really helpful and nice manager and fabulous breakfast.

Great hotel with extremely helpful manager at the reception, really nice man, he gave us lot of useful recommendations to our travels. We really liked the breakfast. While the siting arrangement was basic and choice not lavish, the products were local and home made giving us great local experience. For us, quality of product is more important than width of selection. If we travel to the area again, we will definitely come back to this hotel. Great view from our 8th floor room.

We had a wonderful holiday and wouldn't hesitate to return.

All the staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The location was great. Lovely views from our room and the breakfast room/terrace. The breakfasts were excellent. Lovely variety with variations every day. Fresh fruit, veg and salads along with cooked items and fabulous Greek yogurt. Stelios the owner was very attentive and welcoming. A small problem with our shower was fixed immediately.
