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

We spent one week in august and I have to say that this hotel is wonderful. We had room with side sea view and luckily it was allmost sea view. We checked into the hotel very late in the evening and we were shown to our room. There was complimentary fruit platter and small wine bottle on the table and 2 water bottles in the fridge witch was nice surprise. Room itself was very clean with open bathroom layout (there are rooms with enclosed bathroom but in those rooms bathroom is usually small). Room was cleaned perfectly everyday. Some of the furnitures were little worn but still in good condition and bed and pillows were very comfortable (I also checked mattress and it was clean). Plenty of closet space for clothes and other items. The air conditioning was quiet and efficient. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and coffee was served to the table. Gluten-free bread available upon request. After 10 am to 12am breakfast is called "late breakfast" and was more of continental style. There is program everyday, in the mornings yoga and aqua fit and in the evenings different kinds of animations and on monday there was "Rethymon by night" guided evening walk in the city centre wich was very good and interesting. The beach in front of the hotel was free (if you are staying Aegean Pearl, otherwise there was small fee) and there was always space available. You can order drinks and food directly to your sun lounger and service was very good and fast (thank you Ioanna). There are pebbles in front of the waterline and larger stones in water so swimming shoes are recommended. Special thanks to waiters in hotel restaurant "Resmo", service was excellent and food amazing (we ate there 14.8) Hotel offers also "Holiday Concierge" service and you can ask all kinds of recommendations for what to do and see and eat. So thank you Uli, your advice and tips were excellent. We would definitely return to this hotel.

A lovely weeks break with my husband and 2 year old son. The hotel is lovely and so was the food. The cleanliness is 10/10 from the housekeepers to the ladies mopping the hotel floors at 7am to the pool man. The reception staff and bar man were always pleasant and said hello as we walked through and same with the hotel porter and male lifeguard. The waiter and waitresses in the restaurant at night made a fuss of our son, Ollie despite their demanding role. Special shout out to ‘Ioanne?’ You were the reason Ollie enjoyed the restaurant so much and always looked forward to coming down! This made our lives so much easier as I can be really fussy with food! She always made a fuss of Ollie no matter how busy it was, thank you!! It goes a long way. The swimming pools were absolutely FREEZING but to be expected. The beach pass is lovely a lovely gesture but we only used it once, plenty of room there but probably due to the time of year. The blonde lady doing the drinks run to the beach and back was also lovely and made time to acknowledge and play with our Son. Weather was 26/27•c everyday which was perfect for us. We had room 822 and the biggest balcony of the hotel which overlooked the restaurant, entertainment and the seafront. This was a god send for us as it gave our son a safe space to play when we were getting ready or in the room in the day and meant we could watch the entertainment our we had put Ollie to bed. The jewellery man underneath our room (sorry I didn’t get his name) always spoke too, everyone is really pleasant. It’s a fair walk to the Old Town/Harbour but we got a taxi back to the hotel one afternoon and it was €6 which we thought was good. Plenty of sunbeds but again, it was a quieter time of year for the hotel. We went to ‘Manolis Place’ restaurant just down the road a couple of times and the food here was great! Would definitely recommend. Our transfer to the airport was 6pm and check out was 11am so the hotel held our cases in the luggage room, advised their are shower rooms and toilets for us to use, gave us personalised water bottles on check out and offered to get the porter to help with cases. All in all, a lovely stay. Just what was needed! Thank you Pearl Hotels, your staff work tirelessly.
