Aegean Pearl

We’ve just came back from another trip to Rethmyno after visiting in September last year and also back to the Aegean Pearl! We don’t normally visit the same place twice but knew the hotel was in a good location (a 30 minute wander along the beach road to the centre with plenty of bars, tavernas and shops along the way) The room was a decent size although the open plan bathroom and toilet without a lock does take some getting used to. We had a small balcony with a side sea view which was nice, the beds are comfy and lots of plugs sockets, storage, mirrors and decent lighting. We enjoyed a couple of relaxed days by the pool and the beach but the pool is very cold so be mindful of this! The food was different this time round and despite being quite fussy and only eating fish/vegetarian we found plenty to eat when we ate dinner at the hotel and breakfast is always very good - we loved the bougatsa. Also visited Resmo which is based in the Seabreeze apartments opposite and the food there was perfect. The entertainment was good (definitely recommend the night walking tour!) and Tassos and Manousos keep the energy going after dark. We did feel other guests were more sociable this time which also helped - without it being rowdy it’s a very relaxed place. Of course we need to mention Anna and Popi from the restaurant - we love them!

We had a wonderful stay at Aegean Pearl in Rethymno. The hotel was very clean, the food was tasty and fresh, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. A special mention goes to Mrs. Popi who works at the restaurant – she was absolutely amazing! So kind, polite, helpful and sweet – she really made our meals extra enjoyable. The hotel’s location is excellent, right in front of the beach and close to everything you might need – shops, cafés, and other services are all just a short walk away. We would definitely love to come back!

Fantastic holiday in Rethimno . Hotel is perfect Deffinittely deserves 5 stars. The rooms are clean and comfortable . The 4 pools are so nice and clean . The food is excellent and very tastefful, witha lot of variety od fruits, vegetables, meats and local cuisune. The staff is so polite and kindness. Especialy Popi. All the regards to her. She is so kind and warm staf lady with a great attitude to the guests. The old town is a little bit far away. About 35 min by walk , but there is a Taxi always awaillable for 6/7 euros . Come To the Agean Pearl Rethimno. You wont regrated

Stayed for 11 nights at the end of September beginning of October. The weather was perfect wall to wall sunshine. The hotel is clean and comfortable with lovely rooms. Staff are friendly and do a good job especially Poppi, Anna and others in the restaurant who deliver great service with a smile. We had a room at the back of the hotel which was quiet with a view of the small pool. The room was spacious and kept immaculately clean by the hardworking staff. The beds comfy and we slept well. We stayed half board, at breakfast everything you could think of, both hot and cold options (ps toaster needs replacing). Dinner very good range of food including Crete street food, Greek dishes, grilled meats/fish, pasta, delicious puddings and much more. Not a huge selection but very tasty and you won’t go hungry. Wine reasonably priced. We enjoyed the flat walk to Rethimno which took about 20/25 minutes with coffee shops and bars on the way if you want to take a break. Rethimno wow what a great place, you can easily spend an entire day wondering around - historic sites, lovely harbour, old town. We had dinner at the harbour (Seven Brothers) fantastic setting, great atmosphere, however food average at the best. Back at the hotel, there’s a nice size pool with comfy sun beds and a smaller pool at the back of the hotel. We found that guests from the sister hotel next door were using and even reserving the sun beds, which was unfair to me. Due to this we used the beach across the road where the beds are free and plentiful so no problem, but this does need sorting by the hotel management. There’s entertainment at the hotel each evening however unable to comment as we visited the local bars or went into town. At the time we stayed there was a mix of nationalities. I would say this hotel suits middle age/older adults. A few local travel agents where you can arrange day trips for reasonable prices. Much cheaper than Jet2. All in all a great holiday, lovely hotel and a beautiful town. Would recommend and return.

We love the restaurang at Agean Pearl. Good service and welcoming at breakfast and dinner. Especially Popi who contributes to a good and happy atmosphere. Popi also rekommendended us tasteful wines to our dinner every night.❤️. // Room 20 The Andersen's from Sweden.

We found the hotel to be perfectly located for us. Its quiet and not located far from the old town. A leisurely 40 minutes walk or cheap 5 minute taxi ride. The room was clean, spacious, well equipped and modern as expected for a 5 star hotel. The staff were very friendly and professional. We opted to only have breakfast as we like to try out the local cuisine. The breakfast itself was very good quality and varied. The local tavernas and restaurants were all excellent and very good value for money. Even on our last day we had a very late flight, the hotel team looked after us allowing us to store our suitcases and use all the facilities. All in all I fantastic break. Thank you
