The Syntopia

"What a fab hotel! From the minute we arrived at the syntopia we knew we were in for a great week. The staff in every part of the hotel are second to none, the level of service and attention to detail is fantastic. Everyone is so polite, they check in to see if you need a drink etc whether you are round the pool or sat in the bar/reception area. Having been to a few all inclusives we weren’t sure what to expect from the food and drinks but the quality was amazing. There were different options for food every breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a few staple items repeating. The food was really tasty and there were plenty of choices. The staff were really helpful to one of our party with an allergy and all the food was really well labelled. The selection of drinks on the all inclusive was extensive, plenty of cocktails and soft drinks to choose from. The room itself was lovely although could have benefitted from a bit more storage and better lighting, but the bed was comfy and the room had everything you needed including water everyday. Unfortunately it rained most days we were there but the staff/management made sure to give everyone plenty to do, with board games, cards etc available to borrow from reception and film nights. The pool area is lovely and the beds are super comfortable. Again the staff are on hand if you need anything and come round to ask if you need drinks at regular intervals. The hotel is located outside of the main resort but there are shops and bars (if you need!) just a ten minute walk away and you can get a taxi into Rethymno itself if you fancy a change of scenery. Would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone. Thank you for a fabulous stay!"

"We stayed at The Syntopia for our first couples holiday together in August, and from the moment we arrived, everything felt immaculate. Check-in was smooth, with welcome drinks, and our luggage was taken straight to our room. We were also shown to our room, which was a lovely touch. We requested a room with a nice view through the Jet2 app, and it was absolutely worth putting in a request. We didn’t pay anything extra, but had a beautiful room overlooking the pool and the sea. The room was spacious and comfortable, and we were very pleased with it. The food was absolutely amazing, great quality with plenty of choice. Even in the buffet restaurant, drinks were waiter served at all times!! which we were amazed at… even for something as simple as an orange juice or iced coffee at breakfast! The pool areas were stunning, including the rooftop pool, where staff even brought drinks right to us in the water. The hotel felt more like a stylish retreat than a big resort. Only downside, securing a sunbed can be tough without an early start. However there are 3 pools! Staff came round for drink orders, even right in the pool and even when we were actually in the water! Each day after our room was cleaned, we were left a fresh full bottle of water. Overall, immaculate grounds, great service, and a memorable stay. The attention to detail in this hotel is unbeliveable, I would absolutely recommend to everyone! Would definitely return!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"We had a fantastic spa day at Aegean Spas. Evdokia the spa manager recommended our treatment and our masseuses Nektaria and Xantlii gave us an effective and lovely massage. It all took place in lovely quiet surroundings. Can highly recommend trying a spa day with them."
