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. Everything about our stay was absolutely wonderful, down to the smallest detail. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel at home. I would even say that beyond the hotel’s excellent quality, what truly stands out is the outstanding service — it’s clear that this hotel not only offers quality, but most of all sells a top-tier experience. The facilities were excellent, the location was perfect, and the overall organization of the hotel was impressive. The breakfast buffet was rich and delicious, with a wide variety of options. Although parking can be challenging in the city, the hotel provided convenient solutions that made everything hassle-free. Overall, it is a hotel I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend to anyone — everything was simply exceptional

With magnificent sea views from a rocky headland above Aghios Nikolaos Bay, this adults-only resort blends together all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.

Take time out to relax by the swimming pool or rest by the lapping waves of the hotel's private beach, where you can try various water-sports. The staff at Minos Palace work exceptionally hard to provide a five star experience as soon as you drive into the property. This property exceeded our expectations from the service, the size of the property through to the facilities and cleanliness of all areas. The accommodation was so warm and welcoming we didn't want to explore anywhere else. I hope to return to Minos Palace one day.

Featuring a garden, a restaurant as well as a bar, Elysia Boutique Hotel is located in the centre of Chania Town, 1 km from Koum Kapi Beach. This 5-star hotel offers a concierge service and a tour desk. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. An absolute gem of a place in one of the most picturesque street of Chania! The hotel is beautifully designed with lots of wood and tiles. The rooms are super comfortable with modern lightning and lots of amenities but what clearly deserves a 10 out of 10 is the charming and very professional staff. Manolis and Vasilis at the reception were super helpful with any of our questions and even arranged an emergency doctor's appointment. Dimitra's home baked cakes are a fantastic bonus to the already amazing breakfast and Demostenes welcome every morning charges you with extra energy! Clearly best hotel in Chania!

Rocca a Mare Heraklion - Handwritten Collection features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a terrace and restaurant in Heraklio Town. This 5-star hotel offers a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. We were extremely satisfied with our stay at Rocca a Mare. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was perfectly clean and comfortable. The rooftop pool is small but absolutely beautiful — a real gem with a lovely view, perfect for relaxing. We truly regret that we stayed only one night; we would have loved to enjoy this place longer. Highly recommended!

Located in Chania Town, 1.1 km from Koum Kapi Beach, Nearchou Boutique Hotel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a bar. This 5-star hotel offers a concierge service, a tour desk and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Breakfast was outstanding, lots of bread, pastries, cooked to order eggs. Owner Tammy was very friendly and provided trip recommendations. They have worked very hard for several years to make this hotel a reality, and it's a standout in so many respects. Amalia was very friendly and loves also providing restaurant recommendations, we're glad we were able to eat in one of her top 3 restaurants, Gramvousa. George also provided us with great tips to visit the Samaria gorge, which in our view, is a top place to visit. Room was large, with jacuzzi, located just a short walk from the main harbor. I would recommend it without hesitation. There is parking in front of the hotel for just 3 cars, reserved for the hotel guests. If arriving late, you can always park nearby on the same road, preferably on a spot before reaching the hotel.
