Just 50 metres from the beach and 1 km from Rethymno Town, Archipelagos Hotel is set on a hillside with panoramic views over the Cretan Sea and the Venetian Castle. Facilities include an outdoor communal pool and private pools, a pool bar and free WiFi. I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Archipelagos in Rethymno, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. From the breathtaking views to the friendly staff, spacious room, and convenient location, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. First and foremost, the views from Hotel Archipelagos are simply stunning. The hotel is situated in a prime location that offers magnificent vistas of the surrounding landscapes, including the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. Whether it was enjoying a cup of coffee on the balcony or unwinding by the poolside, I was treated to picturesque scenery that instantly brought a sense of tranquility and serenity. The staff at Hotel Archipelagos played a significant role in making my stay memorable. From the moment I stepped foot in the hotel, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff members were always attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure that I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. As we were celebrating our 5 year anniversary we were even surprised by an upgrade to a room with a double balcony. Their friendliness and willingness to assist with any queries or requests made me feel right at home. The room I stayed in was incredibly spacious and well-appointed. It was tastefully decorated, with modern amenities and a comfortable bed that provided a restful night's sleep.

Just 10 metres from its private beach in Analipsi, Hersonissos, Stella Village features 2 swimming pools with poolside bars surrounded by colourful gardens. It offers 2 restaurants, 2 tennis courts and a kids’ club. There is so much to say about this hotel. To start we travelled as a couple and even though it is mainly a family-oriented hotel, it worked perfectly for us! Let’s go in depth for the ones that want to read: FACILITIES: The room we got was fantastic, double room with a balcony and separate toilet and shower. Mini fridge with new beverages almost every day was a nice touch. The pools scattered around the hotel were good, there were separate pools for Stella Village and Stella Palace. One Village pool was separated from the more children-focused ones and was great for us. The bars around were easy to find and use and the drinks and snacks were solid. Restaurants were clean although the main one had seating inside only which made it loud and not too comfortable. The waterpark was also very good, but maybe more for the children (we enjoyed it too :) ) COMFORT Beds and pillows were great, so were the sunbeds, both at the pools and by the beach, which also was a 2 minute walk from our room! LOCATION The hotel is right by the sea, and the beach is more than enough. Nearby is Analipsi, a town with many restaurants that held a super high standard with extremely good service. The service everywhere was really great! Supermarkets are nearby and souvenir shops too. Buses can be found close and the closest car rental was next door, can be recommended since we used it to rent a car for 2 days (50€/day) cheapest was 40€/day. CLEANLINESS The rooms were cleaned daily, the pools were also very clean and so were the restaurants. You could get new towels daily so to stay clean wasn’t a problem at all. VALUE FOR MONEY We booked quite far in advance and paid a good price for 8 nights. All in all I don’t think you could go wrong with the price we paid, the location and the experience we got! STAFF Unreal. 10/10! We first got a room on the ground floor which we thought was a bit unfortunate.
