"En veldig fin leilighet, helt ny og uten feil. Flott uteområde med flere sittegrupper . Svært sentralt, butikker og restauranter like rundt hjørnet. Kort spassertur til stranden. Stille og fredelig. Veldig hyggelig og hjelpsom vert. Kan trygt anbefale et opphold i denne fine leiligheten."

"Zum zweiten Mal hier gewesen und bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal. Etwas abgeschieden in den Bergen und ca. 20 min Fahrt bis zum Strand aber trotzdem für uns hervorragend."

"This was by far the most unique, amazing hotel we stayed at on the island of Crete. Upon arrival we were given fresh-squeezed lemonade made from their own lemon trees. The staff was so friendly! The building is over 500 years old, and nothing like I've ever seen before. The suite we got was huge, (living room, full kitchen, dining room, and bathroom downstairs and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs). We had our own private patio and a back door that led right to the pool. The town and the people...

"Beautiful quiet spot! A walk or cycle from the Center of Frangkocastello (and where the beach is wonderful and child friendly too). The taverna on the sea front just infront of the property has excellent traditional Greek food and there are many more to try in the center too. Very peaceful location, with a few similar looking apartment hotels scattered along this coastline. The hosts are wonderful. A pool was just finishing being built right behind the current apartments property and looked like...

"We were so pleased with our stay at Steris Elegant Beach Hotel! We arrived past midnight on our first day because of a delayed flight and the staff, especially Dino, was so welcoming and helpful, which was a great start to our stay. We loved having the beach right out front of our hotel, and the beach service with chairs, umbrellas, food and drinks was fantastic. The rooms are also very clean, the ac works great and the location is near the old town, supermarkets, tourist and local shops....

"Hotel easy to find, next to large supermarket on a main road, a mile from the cross island route. Some parking, 3 allocated spaces and then on street parking nearby
Has a lift but some stairs involved for most rooms. Room was a 2 room apartment with a large lounge/kitchen area, with a large Smart TV, oven, hob and fridge.
Balcony off each room, large shower room, and plenty of storage space.
Complimentary breakfast was good.
Pool area limited, not enough sunbeds and begins to lose sun from about 3pm.
Staff were pleasant and helpful.
100yds from the massive beach and its safe promenade full of bars and restaurants leading to town, about a mile away. The main road option I would avoid on foot, parked cars and busy junctions."
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything felt exceptionally clean and well maintained, with a calm, relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to unwind.
Our room was light, airy and spacious, with a recently refurbished boutique feel. The small kitchenette was very handy for snacks and chilled drinks, and the partial sea view was a lovely way to start each morning.
Staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, always greeting us as we came and went. They shared helpful local knowledge and arranged a taxi to Knossos so we could avoid organised tours and arrive early, which really supported our children’s neurodivergent needs.
Although we booked room only, we enjoyed snacks from the pool bar, and the food and drink options were great. The location was ideal: our teens could easily access the nearby beach and shops, and there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Staff also recommended quieter spots further along the beach for sunbeds.
The pool was a perfect size, and all the facilities we saw were tidy and well maintained. We especially appreciated the relaxed vibe, the helpful staff, and being close to restaurants without being in the busiest part of Rethymno.
Minor downsides were the small bathroom and limited storage — a chest of drawers or extra shelving would have been useful, and the wardrobe needed more hangers.
Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and would happily return."
"Excellent service from the staff at the hotel at breakfast and at dinners. Clean rooms with modern fit out. Overall well located property with easy access to old town and the beach ofcourse."
"Perfectly situated in the small town of Georgioupoli. Plenty of places to eat (highly recommend Poseidon!) & drink all within walking distance.
Right on the beach, with private & free loungers for hotel guests and food/drink service.
The staff were very helpful and welcoming on arrival (shout out to Kaan).
Would definitely stay here again and I don't say that about anywhere!
Genuinely the photos don't do the hotel justice.
Only thing that let the hotel/area down was the amount of litter and cockroaches around the staircase up to our room which just kept accumulating over a few days."
"We had a superior sea view room which did not disappoint. We only stayed 3 nights but thoroughly enjoyed it. Evenings are chilled, and daytimes we used the private beach. An overall luxurious resort."
"We had a wonderful few days at Aquila Porto Rethymno. The property is beautiful and well maintained and with many additional facilities and games than expected. We went mid-June and had a wonderful time at the pool and beach, easily finding chairs, however, the drinks service was slow. The breakfast spread was delicious and plentiful. Very convenient location with easy walking distance to town."
