"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...

"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."

"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."
"We have just spent 18 wonderful days at Sun & Sea, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We originally booked 11 days but loved it so much that we decided to extend our holiday by another week. The hotel was incredibly accommodating and made the room change completely seamless, which we really appreciated.
The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location is perfect, with beautiful views and easy access to the beach, restaurants, and local shops. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was peaceful, friendly, and welcoming.
What really made our stay special was the staff. Every member of the team was kind, helpful, and always greeted us with a smile. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they genuinely made us feel at home.
Thank you to everyone at Sun & Sea for making our family holiday so memorable. We have made some amazing memories here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. We hope to return in the future!"
"Excellent. We were a family of 3 and it ticked all of the boxes, aqua park, kids club, various pools (with very friendly lifegaurds), and beach, good selection of restaurants and a beach bar. Also a few Tavernas within walking distance and so you are not confined to the hotel."
"The staff at this hotel is amazing! Everyone is so nice and go above and beyond to help. The breakfast is delicious and varied, the rooms are clean and have all you need, and the hotel is two blocks away from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here!"
"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."
"Lovely place to stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Parking can be difficult to find at certain times of day, but usually you find something. Pool was lovely. Rooms cleaned well, towels for pool provided. Coffee shops/bakeries, supermarket, laundromat at the end of the street. Lots of sets of approx 2-5 steps throughout the property, so although not multi-storey, is a bit of a work out managing luggage. Thanks for a great stay, I wouldn't hesitate to come back again."
