Aquila Porto Rethymno

"The hotel have during the last year renovated many rooms. We have been her between 35-38 times during the years. Two pools, and just to pass the road and you are on a fantastic beach with sunbeds & sun umbrellas free of charge. Beachboy can supply you with coffe, tea, juice and food charged on your room number. Very clean beach. From our room, 411, lying in the front of the hotel against the sea, one have a 180* view over the sea and the beachroad passing in the front of the hotel. The hotel also have a cafe called Anatolitico lying with view over the sea where you can have a simpler meal and coffe, tea, and a bar from 10am til midnight. and in the evening there are often live music. Short way to the nice Old Town with lots of restaurants and shops. Most important are the staff. Just fantastic helpful and very friendly ❤️ ! !"

"The hotel itself met our expectations. We usually travel with more than average luxury, and this hotel choice was on point. We chose a superior room from the highest floor with sea view. The room in total was modern and clean! Also the hotel as a whole is very top notch. Lots of daily activities, couple restaurants. We actually forgot to use the pools, since the beach is so nearby, but the pool areas seemed great. The hotels own beach is perfect addition. At the time of our stay there were plenty of available sunbeds. Hotel is within walking distance from everything, and was a great choice for us who want to enjoy the beach, and also the town. Staff is extremely friendly with eager to help attitude: During our stay we faced a problem with the electricity sockets in our room since there was limited sockets near the mirrors for doing hair. We asked the staff if it would be possible to loan an extender for the sockets, and couple hours later we indeed received one from the maintenance. Also during our checkout we expressed that we would be in need for recycling our damaged suitcase. The staff also gave us extended later checkout since there was availability. Huge mention and thanks for the gluten free diatery service and awareness. During the check in we were asked if we had any dietary restrictions. One of us is a celiac and follows a gluten free diet. At the buffet, all diatery info is displayed, so it was very easy to see which foods are suitable for the diet. Also huge respect and appreciation for the executive chef Stylianos and his staff. He would arrange gluten free bread, pancakes and other foods for us if we wished. They really made our stay stress free and overall greater experience. Overall, the food was tasty and had great variety. Both breakfast and dinner buffet had daily changes in selectipn which was awesome."

"Great hotel that just can’t do enough for you, with the exceptionally polite staff. Clean, great location with plenty of sun beds. Thank you all!"
