Cretan Sun

I've been a bit concerned about the noise (there is the main road just across the local street from the hotel) while booking, but we've slept perfectly well (the sound proof of our room 308 was excellent). So this hotel turned to be an optimal choice for our unfortunately just 1-day stay (we booked it to enjoy the evening in the old Rethymno). The access to the property from both directions is really very easy, there is a bakery and some tavernas just 1 street away (up the hill around the corner). There was some misunderstanding about the air-condition (for some bookings, the property charge a 5 EUR/day - you get a remote control at the reception desk), but we've settled that with a very kind and helpful guy at the reception in no time. WiFi is OK, a lot of parking places are provided, the pool looks nice (unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy). Despite the kitchen is advertised, there was only a fridge and a kettle in our room (with some cups and glasses, but nothing else). For our 1-night stay this was not a problem at all, but might be an issue if you plan to prepare even some simple meals. But I guess the property has also rooms with at least a kitchenette... All in all, I can only recommend this hproperty, and it will definitely be my first choice next time I'll need a place to stay for a short time around Rethymno (I don't know about the beach around, which might be quite important for a longer stay...).

The property is very clean, the pool was lovely for a refreshing dip and there was a bar serving cool drinks. The beach and local restaurants were a short walk away. It would be advantageous if the property updated the air conditioning units, as the current unit did not keep the room cool. But an enjoyable and relaxing stay all the same.
