Ionia Suites

Absolutely beautiful and incredible hotel! Wonderful service, perfect location, so clean and so comfortable. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be back!

We’re so glad we chose this hotel! We stayed for three nights and had an amazing time. The location couldn’t have been better—just a 5-minute walk to the beach and the same to the charming old town. The hotel itself is super cozy and welcoming, and the staff was very kind and polite. Breakfast was a treat every morning, with lots of tasty options, and the restaurant was spotless and just a really nice place to start the day. For my husband’s birthday, they surprised us at breakfast with a massive, delicious chocolate cake, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We were really touched and appreciated it so much. We’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Rethymno!

Although this is a four-star hotel, it qualifies as a five-star one with respect to atmosphere and service. The receptionists, the manager, the cook (of the excellent breakfast) and the chamber maids all make you feel totally at home. I have never felt welcomed to such an extent in a place whose language I barely understand. (Please note that the manager and the receptionists all speak very good English.) The breakfast is outstanding. The rooms (actually, suites) are very clean and comfortable. The swimming pool is very small, which is its main drawback, but it’s water is kept very clean, and it’s nice to see the sky and the rooftops while swimming, especially early in the morning.
