Iberostar Creta Marine Hotel, Rethymnon

Advantages: Clean, tidy, good food. all inclusive
Disadvantages: None

...Panorama where we stayed, Creta Mare which are bungalows in the grounds of the Panorama and nextdoor is the Creta Marine. There are no boundaries between the Panorama and the Marine and they don't accept each others All Inclusive bracelet thingys so beware! Ok back to the Panorama - its very nice, the reception area is a huge lobby with lots of sofas and marble. There are a couple of shops in the lobby (a boutique and a jewelry shop) and the lobby bar. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean with all the usual trimmings (wardrobes, safe, chests of drawers, huge bed, desk, chairs, bathroom (with hairdryer) and a balcony - ours looked out over the main pool area and gardens. However, no tea/coffee-making facilities in any of the rooms. FACILITIES: Pools - 5, 4 outdoor and 1 indoor. There is one large pool outside the main hotel... Read review

Advantages: Super staff, great food, pools excellent, lots of little nice touches.
Disadvantages: Rocky beach. Dated rooms.

...Lovely hotel in wonderful Paphos. Staff cannot do enough for you - waiting staff in the bar are attentive, polite and friendly. Entertainment staff - evening shows a little poor but they try really hard to keep everyone happy and entertained with no pressure to join in. Nice touches such as fruit & wine in rooms on arrival, free mini bar with soft drinks replenished daily, beds turned down & chocolates or a flower on your pillow at night. Rooms: decor a little tired and in need of refurbishment but still in good order. Cleanliness is excellent throughout the buildings and in the grounds. Staff were always busy behind the scenes. SEA VIEW IS WORTH EVERY PENNY ! Food is very well cooked with plenty of choice. Weekly Gala Dinner by the pool is lovely (although food here a little cold) No problem finding sunbeds... Read review

Advantages: Ideally located for Bar, Tavernas And Exploring The Old Town
Disadvantages: Alongside The main Road to The Port

...tavernas, basic but with excellent quality food. Rethymnon's long sandy beach, with its associated bars and tavernas across the road, was perhaps a 5 to 10 minute stroll away. Although not really a beach person I can recommend the bars for having this area for having a drink and watching the world go by in the evening. In conclusion the hotel is very well maintained throughout, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the location of the hotel is second to none and it is one of my all time favourite hotels. If you want an ideal base for your trip to Rethymnon then this hotel is for you.... Read review
