Facing the beachfront, Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels offers 5-star accommodation in Rethymno Town and features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden. Among the various facilities of this property are a terrace, a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. I had an exceptional stay at this hotel. It's not large, which adds to its charm, and the staff were simply fantastic. The beach is stunning, with direct access from the hotel – no need to cross any roads. The breakfasts were amazing, offering a wide variety of delicious options. It's conveniently located close to Rethymno, making it easy to explore the area. The spa was a delightful experience, and I highly recommend booking a private room with a sauna and Turkish bath. My teenage daughters absolutely loved it. All in all, a wonderful place to relax and enjoy.

Built amphitheatrically on a hillside of Elounda, beachfront Enorme Infinity Elounda - Adults Only offers a view of Elounda bay and the island of Spinalonga. The 5-star resort boasts an outdoor pool, two restaurants & 2 bars. Definitely one of the best facilities in Elounda and all of Crete. Starting with the service, which proves at every step that you are in a 5-star hotel, and ending with the surroundings of the facility, which are extremely refined and tastefully decorated. The service is very competent, nice and helpful. A big advantage is the varied but also regional breakfasts. Each room is equipped with either a jacuzzi or a private pool. There is also a restaurant with a tasting menu and a gym with an extraordinary view of the bay. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. Special thanks to the entire hotel staff.

What truly sets it apart, though, is the staff. Tammy, George, and Amelia were incredible – warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Their recommendations for restaurants and day trips were spot on, they organized a rental car for us effortlessly, and George even helped us park in a tight spot when we arrived. Flawless service and an unforgettable stay – highly recommended and we will be back! 10/10
