"Great hotel staff, friendly and helpful. Breakfast, especially the fruits were very delicious."

"Extremely beautiful!! The owner is so friendly. It’s really clean and the environment is perfect. The breakfast was also really nice. It’s only like 5 minutes by foot from the beach and it has a supermarket next to it. The pool has 2 levels and it’s clean too. 100% recommended."

"Good clean central but basic hotel. Breakfast was OK. Would book again."

"The stay was pleasant. But the selection of food was extremely poor. The room is a bit small for a couple"

"Lovely spot in the mountains Great feel to the whole place and great staff . It has its own museum which is always a bonus. I only stayed one night passing through but will definitely pass by again . Great location for exploring the central mountains of the island . Nice little village 2 mins walk"

"We stayed at Hotel Sofia from May 2nd to May 9th and were very satisfied with everything. The breakfast was delicious, although unfortunately it was only served until 10:00 AM. The room cleaning was excellent. We had a lovely room with a mountain view. We will definitely come back. I highly recommend this hotel. Sincerely, Lothar Berschet"

"We have just returned from a fantastic 10-night stay at Aquila Rithymna Beach, and from start to finish it exceeded our expectations. On arrival, we were delighted to be upgraded to a side sea view room, although, to be honest, any view at this beautiful resort would have been lovely. The hotel is spacious, immaculately clean and incredibly well maintained. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, welcoming and genuinely seemed to enjoy making guests feel at home. Our room may have been a little dated in terms of décor, but that honestly didn't detract from our holiday for a second. It was comfortable, spotlessly clean and, given how little time we actually spent in it, it certainly wasn't an issue. The facilities are second to none. Whether you want to relax by the pool, spend time on the beach, enjoy the water park or take part in activities, there is something for everyone. A special mention has to go to the Pink Wave animation team, who were absolutely fantastic throughout our stay. In particular, Maksymilian deserves a huge thank you for his kindness towards our son and for helping solve a little "ball problem" that was very important to him! It's these small moments that make a lasting impression. However, I would like to add, they all work so hard! The Kri Kri Kids Club was exceptional. Our son was genuinely upset to leave because the team made him feel so welcome and included from day one. He even took part in the overnight sleepover, which became one of the highlights of his holiday. It was wonderful to see him enjoying his own adventures and building confidence, while giving Mum and Dad the chance to enjoy a little relaxation too. We loved that the club was so flexible, allowing children to drop in and out rather than committing to full days. The children's restaurant was another brilliant touch, and our son loved deciding each day whether to eat there, at the main buffet, or sometimes both! The food throughout the resort was excellent, with an incredible amount of choice. The main buffet never became repetitive, and it was lovely to have the opportunity to enjoy some of the à la carte restaurants during our stay. The pool restaurant lunches were another highlight. Again, all the staff were attentive and work hard to turn around tables so there is no wait at busy times. The drinks offering was equally impressive. The cocktails were excellent, and the wine selection was unlike anything we've experienced at an all-inclusive resort. A special thank you to Vangelis in the main lobby bar, who took the time to explain the cocktails, happily adapted drinks to suit our tastes, and was always so kind and engaging with our son. He is a real credit to the hotel. The beach is beautiful and having it directly on the hotel grounds is a huge bonus. The pools were excellent, and we also treated ourselves to the spa, which was reasonably priced and provided another wonderful experience with friendly, professional staff. The water pa"

"We enjoyed our four night stay at Mansio in Rethymno. Located within the old town it was quiet and secluded. The bed and shower rooms were of a decent size and very clean. All the staff were friendly, helpful and most spoke excellent English. So, overall nothing to complain about. Except, to us, another guest from the UK did; he thought that the breakfast was poor. Unfortunately we have to concur. We have found, through many years of travelling, that you can judge the quality of an establishment by the orange juice served at breakfast. In the Mediterranean, where hundreds of thousands of tons of the things are grown annually, there is no excuse for not serving freshly squeezed juice. The Mansio’s offering was an undrinkable orange coloured chemical. If the Management can rectify this, and the meagre cold meat and cheese boards, then the Mansio would be a very good little hotel indeed."
