Facing the beachfront, Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels offers 5-star accommodation in Rethymno Town and features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden. Among the various facilities of this property are a terrace, a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. It is our second time at the Nautilux Crete. The first time we became in love with everything. The beauty of the Hotel. Extremely clean and comfortable. Very new and well maintained. The staff is the best. Always with a smile on the face. We love the minimalism and modern design of this Hotel. The beach. The view. The service at the pool and at the beach. The food is amazing. This time we receive an upgrade and the suite with the jacuzzi was wonderful. We just have good things to share with the others. Absolutely nothing to complain.

Dimargio Luxury Hotel & Spa features a fitness centre, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Heraklio Town. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The property is 400 metres from the city centre and 2.3 km from Amoudara Beach. WOW! Where did I even start? I found this hotel at the very last minute and what a VERY pleasant surprise it was - I found a gem!!! First of all, not only the location of this hotel is fantastic but the lighting in the room is great, it has a very comfortable bed, great shower, the place brand new, very clean, very bright, perfectly working air conditioner when needed, great toiletries and other items (blow dryer, slippers, robe, etc.), well-kept and the hotel staff service is just incredible! The staff is incredibly warm, friendly, hospitable, top notch with attention to details, extremely prompt in service and always ensured that my stay was very comfortable as though I was at home! I was even greeted with a refreshing, delicious welcome drink without me even asking! The breakfast is high quality of local ingredients, offering both western and Greek dishes. This is easily my new favourite hotel in Heraklion. This hotel is just impeccable and stellar in every single way. I can’t wait to return to the city when I’m less so in a rush (only stayed there for a night - but boy what a gem I found!!), so that I can also enjoy the spa services upon my next visit! Thank you SO, so much!
