Great stay if you prefer outside the main town.
Generally, my stay was great—starting with my room (#400), which I highly recommend if you don’t mind having two single beds. The view is great (pool and ocean view). As always, there is one minor “problem” if we are picky. At one point I asked one if the younger server-helpers whether there was water available (because I asked after the breakfast buffet closed). Instead of going to check, he told me to go and check. The one server, Evaggelia, was fantastic!

Blocked drains that smell constantly on your balcony. Drilling at 6.55 am. Sea view rooms are not side view rooms. Hotel has no sea view rooms. Miwadi for breakfast replacing fresh juice. Food ok but disappointing choice apart from breakfast. V clean nice pool area, beach has a lovely view but dont try swimming with out protective shoes. 4 star premises. Could be better with attention to details. Cant blame the general staff they are v nice.

Värt vartenda öre!!!
Mysigt hotell med fin utsikt (om man har utsikt mot poolen + havet som oss). Vi bokade All-inclusive vilket var mycket bra. Dem har varierande mat från lunch till middag dessutom inte samma samma lunch varje dag. Bra variation! Dem har sin egna Beach Bar/Taverna som är precis vid stranden/havet. Vi är i helhet extremt nöjda med detta boende. Värt vartenda öre!

Nach dem Wechsel in ein anderes 5*Hotel ist die Qualität des Rethymno Palace noch deutlicher geworden. Sehr schöne, saubere und gepflegte Anlage. Sehr strukturiert die Arbeitsweise des erfahrenen Personals. Nicht nur Aushilfen oder Schüler:innen beschäftigt, sondern auch motivierte ältere Mitarbeiter. Sicherheitspersonal vorhanden. Wir empfanden es als ruhiges Hotel. Zwei mal die Woche kretischer Abend. Wir empfehlen es auf jeden Fall.

For mye fokus på all inklusive gjester, om man ikke har det selv. Går litt utover service på steder hvor det ikke er all inklusive gjester. Kamp om solsenger både rundt basseng og på strand. Ikke nok solsenger. Rent og fine rom, men litt små. Fine bad.

Hotel propre dans l ensemble mais equipements et decoration vieiillote. Coffre fort payant, climatisation vieille et longue au fonctionnement. Une seule par carte par chambre, petit dejeuner moyen. Prestation correcte mais n equivaut pas a celle d un 5 etoiles.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Kein 5-Sterne-Service
Wir haben ein Open Plan Sea View für 2 Personen gebucht und beim Check-in ein solches Zimmer in der obersten Etage bekommen. Es war etwa so groß wie bei der Buchung angegeben und hatte einen wunderschönen Meerblick. Allerdings war es bei Ankunft nicht klimatisiert und ca. 30 Grad heiß. Trotz Einschalten der Klimaanlage auf höchster Stufe und dem Versuch bei laufender Klimaanlage zu schlafen, wurde es nicht „kälter“ als 28 Grad. Nach einer schlaflosen Nacht baten wir um ein anderes Zimmer, z. Bsp. 1 Etage tiefer. Wir wurden aber mehrfach abgewiesen ober bekamen Zimmer einer schlechteren (bzw. günstigeren) Kategorie ohne finanziellen Ausgleich angeboten. Erst bei unserer 5. Beschwerde und nach 2 heißen Nächten bekamen wir 1 Zimmer 1 Etage tiefer, welches bereits offensichtlich mindestens 1 Tag frei war. Aber auch hier war die Klimaanlage offensichtlich zentral in ihrer Leistung gedrosselt und eine Kühlung unter ca. 26 Grad Raumtemperatur war selbst bei 24 Stunden eingeschalteter Klimaanlage nicht möglich. Bei unserer Buchung über Expedia hatten wir einen Late-check-out von 2 Stunden mitgebucht. Dieser wurde uns von der Rezeption verweigert und erst nachdem wir bei Expedia angerufen haben und diese mit dem Hotel telefoniert haben, wurde er uns gewährt. Fazit: Ein eigentlich schönes Hotel, aber unfreundliche und respektlose Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption, bei denen man wie ein Bittsteller abgewimmelt wird, wenn man das möchte, wofür man beim Check-in bezahlt hat.
