I couldn't have asked for a better spot; this hotel is just marvelous! The rooms were spotless clean with a nice balcony and an amazing view of the Cretan sea. The staff was incredibly helpful and charming. While the dining experience was decent with good traditional Greek food, the overall operation seemed a bit disorganized. The location was absolutely perfect for us, offering a swimming zone right in front and within walking distance to many stores.

The hotel is in a lovely location across from the sea with multiple pools to enjoy and a short walk to the old town for dining options. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, are in need of refurbishment. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Eleana the receptionist. However, the dining experience could improve with a wider variety of items. Overall, a decent value for the money for a beachside stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with beautiful sea views and a private pool, although the rooms are in need of some updates. The service was exceptional, especially from Stelios, making our time at Archipelagos very enjoyable. The location was perfect, offering peace and quiet yet close to the bustling old harbor. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a variety of Greek-style options and delicious vegetarian dishes.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were comfortable and spacious, with a small kitchenette in-between. Having my own swimming pool right outside the door was a fantastic touch. The service was top-notch, ensuring I had a wonderful time during my stay. The location was just perfect, close to the beach and within walking distance of Rethymno's old city. The dining experience was simple but good, offering a mix of Greek and continental food with a lovely view of the sea. The facilities were great, and I couldn't have asked for more!

I had the most incredible stay at this hotel! The rooms overlooked a stunning sea view and the old town of Rehtymno. I was lucky to get a room on the 6th floor with a fantastic view of the bay. The service was exceptional, with super competent and friendly staff. The location was perfect, right across from a beach and a short walk to the old town with plenty of restaurant options. The dining experience was average, but the variety was quite impressive. Overall, a delightful experience that I would highly recommend.
