Pros: Hotel is on the first line and provides its clients with the sun beads and umbrellas. The room was quite OK, with nice large bed and a balcony. However, the large bed did not have one mattress on it, but two separate mattresses, which should be noted, but it did not disturb us a lot. The breakfast was nice and had choices of hot, cold dishes, fruits and sweets. Besides, it is very nice to have a breakfast on the summer terrace facing the sea. Also the hotel has nice pool, which was nice when the sea was stormy. The pool bar serves good drinks.

Also the hotel has nice pool, which was nice when the sea was stormy. The pool bar serves good drinks.
Cons: When choosing the hotel by stars, you expect not only services that could be provided, but a certain level of accommodation. The furniture was quite outdated and the bathroom was also quite uncomfortable with a narrow bathtub, which made showering not too comfortable with the curtain sticking all over you. Besides, the bathroom did not have a built-in ventilation, but a window, which was obviously facing the neighbors balcony, and when our neighbors smoked our bathroom was full of the cigarette smell.

Pros: The staff were some of the most friendly and efficient we have encountered anywhere. Tables were cleared and reset quickly at meal times and food constantly replenished. The newly refurbished bedrooms are immaculate and have everything you could need. Great air con and very comfortable beds. The food is good and plentiful, the food at the Greek night in particular was very good. Worth paying extra for half board and nothing is too much trouble for the staff here. The hotel clearly reads its guest reviews and acts on the feedback it receives. I noticed some changes had been made to address previous minor grumblings about unpeeled fruit for example...! Struggled to fault this hotel and any minor criticism is intended constructively as we had a great time

Pros: It was very nice hotel. The location was excellent!!! The hotel was very close to the beach, supermarket, restaurants and a short walk to the old Town. Some rooms were renovated and they looked very comfortable and modern. The rooms were cleaned every day. WiFi works perfectly in the hotel also at the beach. Breakfast was very ok and coffee was good. Kids loved that there was a choice of pancakes or waffles every morning. The tables were cleaned and reset quickly during meal times. Dinner costs 8 euros (4 euros for kids) and it´s cheaper than to eat in the city. I liked pool area. Rethymno is very nice city!
Excellent
9.2
Pros: It's been 1.5 months since we stayed in Bio, and we still have only the good memories. Staff was very friendly, helpful, always smiling and playing with kids. We had a room on the 1st floor and it was facing the pool & the playground - and we think it was really great as a family with small kids we could not go out in the evening to enjoy the evening show, but we could see it from our balcony. The kitchenette was fully equipped with everything you need. The pool was superb - always clean and warm. We stayed in mid-June, and there were always enough sunbeds. There were also free inflatables, and kids could use them anytime. The best thing was that 6 out of 7 nights, the pool was open from 9pm to 11pm. We could enjoy swimming under the stars in super warm pool. The hotel is very close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Food in the restaurant was delicious (at least for adults). The choice wasn't great, but it would change every single day. It was good that there was a choice of pancakes or waffles every morning. Pizza on one of the days was amazing.

Cons: Not much! The hotel doesn't have parking and the streets nearby are very busy with cars but we always managed to find a space. The step into the hot tub area could be better marked as it is difficult to see when the bubbles are switched on. An option for house wine would be good. I am being very picky here though, as it was great!

Cons: Bathroom needs renovation especially the tub (!) - it was very rusty. The cleaning service was overall good, but I didn't like dust under the beds and not that clean tub. I would add 2-3 kids-friendly meal choices - our kids were not the only ones that could not choose anything from the restaurant. They refused to eat anything other than pasta or chips.

We loved the location with simple access to a small, protected beach across the road.
Cons: We thought this place would be fantastic for kids with the large suite-style rooms, but it really wasn’t ideal for young kids. The indoor pool is not available for kids because it is part of the spa, so even though it was chilly outside, our kids couldn’t use the indoor pool. The clientele was mostly older, so they were not very friendly to our kids swimming even outdoors or playing near the pool. Our suggestion would be to allow kids the opportunity to swim during a few hours a day in the indoor pool in case of inclement weather outside. Overall it was a very nice place, just not the best for our family.

Pros: Nice and clean rooms, lovely pool. Nice breakfast.
Cons:
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The staff is very helpful and friendly (and i include everyone here, reception desk but also bartenders, cleaning staff or restaurant people) and made the stay amazing all along, also the pool is great, premises are excellent, just like the location, very close to the beach but at the same time really quiet, last but not least room was spacious, bed very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was always yummy, varied, fresh and tasty.
Cons: Some people might be less happy with the dinner buffet, but it's harder to make people happy that way than with the breakfast and in my opinion the staff did a great job with a Greek night with typical gyros, so even if it was a challenge, you could tell they made sure to try and make residents as happy as possible.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: The hotel room given to us exceeded our expectations staff were extremely friendly and we were welcomed with drinks fruits a bottle of wine and some greek sweets as we entered our room. it was more than amazing cleaned every single day so quite with such lovely guests who stay there. Everyone working there is extremely considerable and polite food was absolutely amazing pool clean and all together a relaxing quiet modern and luxury hotel. Would definitely recommend the suite with jacuzzi had the best holiday ever out of many. the town is so close by and the beach is one road away. definitely looking forward to coming back.
Cons:

Pros: Excellent hotel. Good food, very friendly and helpful staff, nice room and comfortable pool area.
Cons: I would've been nice if the water had been free with dinner and lunch on full board and a bit much to have to pay 2€ for each pool game.

Cons: The maisonette room is quite dated and needs to be upgraded. Especially the bathroom. I don’t think these rooms are suitable if you have children under 5 for safety reasons. The breakfast was disappointing, limited selection and the quality of the food was lower than I expected.

Not good enough for expected standard & cost Should be waiter service to table for drinks at this level . Generally architectural beautiful hotel , but I am afraid , “ style over substance “ .

Bathroom: unfinished painted walls, towel rack broken so no place to hang bath towels. . Restaurant: no 1/2 litre wine, no offer or given water, mushroom risotto terrible: was like rice soup and tasteless.

Pros: It was a very nice location and the staff were wonderful. The more mature lady that normally works in the daytime was really helpful in telling us where things were and suggesting places to go.
Cons: The beds were uncomfortable. They push two twin beds together to make a double/queen. The air condition does not stay on. It's cycles to low so you have to keep pushing the booster which only allows it to turn on for about 10 minutes and then it goes back to low. The water took forever to get hot in the bathroom sink. The shower however, got hot right away. There was nowhere to put your suitcase other than the couch. The breakfast was average.

Pros: Everything at Palazzo Vecchio was great! My wife and I stayed there for 2 days while visiting the Greek Islands and we were very pleased with the nice and helpful staff, and clean and well kept rooms.

Cons: Only thing we were weren't keen on at times was the food, most of it was nice but a little basic - more variety for lunch and dinner would be better. Also ensuring fresh tea/coffee cups are provided in the room each day - we found the cleaner seemed to be just rinsing our existing cups which is unhygienic and left tea stains.

Pros: It is a nice hotel, great location just couple minutes from the beach and walking distance from Rethymnon center. Also a very good choice at breakfast.
Cons: After cleaning there was still some hair on the floor. But the worst part was - there was a big cockroach swimming in the toilet one evening! The other evening there was some other insect swimming in the toilet again (no idea what was that). I would expect that a 4 star hotel wouldn't have this problem.

Pros: Truly - nothing!
Cons: Too long list - staff very arrogant would not let us see the manager. We booked a superior room and they ried to give us a standard room, had to pay more for upgrade, although they did not charge this when we checked out, (one day early - could not stay the full 3 days) NOT a 5* hotel! They need to check the Galaxy Heraklion - that's what a 5 * hotel is supposed to be- No excuses about Greece being different - the hotel is a fraud!

Cons: Didn't like that the front rows of sunbeds were at an additional cost. I pay for the hotel stay, just to have access to the beach and the sea. Most of the guests now lay on the free beds, and peopel lived (cheaper ???) elsewhere hired beds in front. Some were families of 6 people, they shared 2 beds - but had many things around. It is just fine to lie in the back row of the beach too :-) , I still think the hotel guests should get the best deals/sunbeds.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Excellent location , very nice room well equipped , large with nice design public spaces . Unfortunately we didn't succeed to visit spa area , in order to have a full view of the services. The breakfast was quite good but not enough for 5 star level.
Cons: We had an unpleasant experience regarding the service of the breakfast , that was up to 09:00 am , instead of 09:30 ( although 09:30 is also very early for the W/E ) as it was written in the elevator . They advised us that thay had rescheduled the timing , due to an early morning program of a german group . We asked if we can have the breakfast in our room and their reply was that relative service was not available for low season period . It is unacceptable for a 5 star hotel , either to depend the time of the service on a group program or to offer lower services without giving clear notice of the status.

Pros: Staff is very professional, friendly, supportive. Especially the Restuarant & reception staffs. Location in Rethymno. On the beach + 10 mins walking to the old harbor market & restaurants. Hotel Beach. Balcony View :) Renovation of interior design of the hotel & rooms with new furniture.
Cons: Keeping the old elevator design.It is a two door system. But if you like a touch of “boutiqueness” it is fine & does the job. Only two parking spots are reserved for all the guests of the hotel considering Crete as a destination that needs a rental car. In case of no parking, which happened four times during our week stay, Which is a pain if you don’t find a side parking near the hotel or parking in the free parking side of the port + 7 mins walk.
With a stay at Kriti Beach in Rethymno, you'll be on the beach, within a 5-minute drive of Fortezza Castle and Town Beach. Featured amenities include express check-in, dry cleaning/laundry services, and a 24-hour front desk. Free self parking is available onsite.

Pros: The breakfast was good and the location ok. I found the write up on booking.com misleading as it lead me to believe the hotel was right on the beach. It was not. It was a good 15 min walk in very hot sun. The hotel staff were efficient but distant, not overwhelmingly friendly as we had found in other places. The room was nice, but overall I’d rate the hotel 4 star, not 5, if compared to similar hotels we stayed in.

Cons: Although the city tax was not much, Bookin.com charged us, did not pass on the charge to the hotel, so we had to pay again. The rooms were nice but not 5 star, for eg the sheets were over starched (thus scratchy) and the towels were well worn. Hotel staff could have been friendlier, and the hotel’s location misleading in terms of the beach ,but great for the old town centre. The gym was pretty poor with only three machines. Finally the room did have a strange odour which we could not trace, and the so-called sea view was blocked by a large leafy tree and one could not see thru it at all (photo attached). Two nights was definitely enough.

Cons: I didn't like the fact that we had to pay to use the sauna for a hour or so, the hotel isn't cheap so I think the sauna should be for free

5.4 Okay
Pros: The location is excellent for access to taxis, beach, restaurants (which you'll need!) & the strip.
Cons: This place isn't even close to 4 stars - it's old, shabby & nothing about it approaches what you'd expect of a 4 star hotel. It's just B&B ... and not a great breakfast at that. It's also on a noisy street. Also ... no female FOH staff seems odd.
