Aegean Pearl

Stayed for 11 nights at the end of September beginning of October. The weather was perfect wall to wall sunshine. The hotel is clean and comfortable with lovely rooms. Staff are friendly and do a good job especially Poppi, Anna and others in the restaurant who deliver great service with a smile. We had a room at the back of the hotel which was quiet with a view of the small pool. The room was spacious and kept immaculately clean by the hardworking staff. The beds comfy and we slept well. We stayed half board, at breakfast everything you could think of, both hot and cold options (ps toaster needs replacing). Dinner very good range of food including Crete street food, Greek dishes, grilled meats/fish, pasta, delicious puddings and much more. Not a huge selection but very tasty and you won’t go hungry. Wine reasonably priced. We enjoyed the flat walk to Rethimno which took about 20/25 minutes with coffee shops and bars on the way if you want to take a break. Rethimno wow what a great place, you can easily spend an entire day wondering around - historic sites, lovely harbour, old town. We had dinner at the harbour (Seven Brothers) fantastic setting, great atmosphere, however food average at the best. Back at the hotel, there’s a nice size pool with comfy sun beds and a smaller pool at the back of the hotel. We found that guests from the sister hotel next door were using and even reserving the sun beds, which was unfair to me. Due to this we used the beach across the road where the beds are free and plentiful so no problem, but this does need sorting by the hotel management. There’s entertainment at the hotel each evening however unable to comment as we visited the local bars or went into town. At the time we stayed there was a mix of nationalities. I would say this hotel suits middle age/older adults. A few local travel agents where you can arrange day trips for reasonable prices. Much cheaper than Jet2. All in all a great holiday, lovely hotel and a beautiful town. Would recommend and return.

Un Hotel molto confortevole a misura d’uomo Ottimo confort, tutto il personale è veramente molto gentile e disponibile, il direttore viene a salutare tutti gli ospiti al tavolo… servizi spiaggia inclusi, spettacoli serali, camera molto spaziosa e pulita

Zunächst muss man sagen, dass das Hotel sehr sauber und gepflegt ist. Die Mitarbeiter super super freundlich. Leider war das Essen -weder das Frühstück, noch das Abendessen- lecker. Wir sind tatsächlich jeden Abend essen gegangen. Für ein 5 Sterne Hotel haben wir mehr erwartet. Kaum Abwechslung und auch für Kinder kaum was da. Bei Ankunft haben wir gleich das Zimmer getauscht. Das Kellerzimmer war zu 3 leider nicht zumutbar. Dunkel, sehr klein und Blick auf eine Wand und einen nicht sehr attraktiven Pool. Aber da wurde uns gegen Aufpreis gleich geholfen und wir hatten am nächsten Tag eine wunderschöne Suite mit Meerblick. Sehr nett auch die Dame vom Guest Service. Hatte uns tollen Ausflug empfohlen. Alles in Allem war es ok. Wenn man aber 5 Sterne erwartet ist man enttäuscht. Bitte dringend an der Küche arbeiten.
