Ilios Beach Hotel Apartments — Hotel in Municipality of Rethymnon

Very nice, clean and quiet hotel with a great location. Just across the street is the sand beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas, and even food service from the hotel. Then in the back is the peaceful pool area with lots of plants and a giant bougainvillea. So you can choose your swim depending on the weather and your mood! The Old Town and Venetian harbour is within walking distance and there are many restaurants nearby. Thank you to the reviewer who mentioned Synka and the bakery, you just walk out the back, to the right and then left. It's a little uphill but close.||I did not try the breakfast but tried some of the food, and I'm sorry to say it was only ok. Probably the dishes made in place are better than the prefab ones. To be fair, they do not claim to have a proper restaurant but only some simple dishes by the pool.||I went for the superior sea view room as I would be spending some time in my room working, and the room was huge with a lot of nice details. I especially liked for instance the screen door to keep out insects, the walk-in closet, the many lighting options, the comfy bed and thick sturdy pillows. Unfortunately, in spite of the screen door you can't sleep by an open window because of the noise, but once closed it's relatively quiet. The kitchenette is great but doesn't have a fan and is clearly not meant for more advanced cooking. AC is quiet. The only negative about the room is the surprisingly uncomfortable furniture, beds aside. The cut out pattern chairs are just as painful as they look to sit on (use a folded blanket!), and the sofa feels flat and hard with hard ridges. I would not want to be using it as a sofa bed.||Finally, what really makes this hotel a gem is the staff, who are all nice and friendly and make you feel welcome, from the receptionist (I really appreciated her taking the time to actually give all the information at check-in!) to the cleaners to the beach staff. It's does not feel like a soulless chain hotel but like a well-kept and personal family hotel that someone really...

We are staying here right now and are loving it! The hotel is beach front, only separated by a busy road. Sun beds on the beach are free for hotel guests. We love the option of ordering food and drinks to be brought to us. The hotel is also located only a short 10 minute walk from Rethymno old town. The check in was quick and friendly with complementary home made lemonade and raki. Free parking as well! We received an upgrade to a sea view room. The bath room is modern, the kitchenette convenient for preparing your own food, clean and comfy beds. The balcony is in the shade all day and only receive sun in the late afternoon so if that is something you don’t want, I recommend a room with pool view as there is sun all day. We don’t mind though as we are spending our time at the pool or on the beach. The breakfast is offered at the pool area and is plenty. Homemade lemonade, freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, spreads, cereal, eggs. What more does one need?! The snack bar is open until late. All staff is really friendly and helpful. We are here pre-high season so it’s quiet and calm and very few people at the pool area. We will definitely stay here again when returning to Rethymno. Efcharistó to...

What a fabulous hotel. Great size room. Comfortable beds. Small kitchenette. Lovely modern bathroom. Water temperature was a bit cool for hair washing if you had a shower after 19:30. We just planned around that. Lovely fresh pure white towels changed daily. The balcony we had was a perfect size. |The hotel is directly opposite the beach with free sunbeds for hotel guests. Lovely varied menu at the bar that you could have delivered to your sunbed or to your room. |We didn’t use the pool as it was very hot the week we stayed and we prefer a bit of sea breeze|Every person that we had contact with in the hotel were amazing and very friendly. Couldn’t do enough for us|If there was anything I could change I would have liked a toaster in the kitchen and a magnifying mirror in the bathroom (older lady with failing eye sight for make up purposes). That’s just personal choice though and in no way spoiled our stay. |I would recommend to anyone and hope to return...
