This has been our favourite family holiday to date, our children (12 and 10 years) had a great time and enjoyed the relaxed, safe environment with suitable activities that they could enjoy with no pressure. Our son was poorly soon after we arrived (nothing to do with the resort) and within half an hour of reporting this to the hotel... More

We stayed at this hotel and arrived a day late due to our flight being delayed. Our room was not ready when we got there and had to sit in reception for half hour whilst they got it ready. Once we found our room which was a trek up lots of stairs and hills there was no towels in our... More

We enjoyed our week's stay here, although it had an end-of-season feel about it and some of the advertised activities weren't happening. The food was wonderful and the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the animation team led what activities there were with enthusiasm and charm. The gardens are beautifully floral. The main difference from the Olympic brochure was... More

I decided to buy a last minute holiday and went with my sister and friends, we are around the age of 30. The room where we stayed wasn't the best as didn't have modern furniture but it was nice and clean, my bedroom was close to the restaurant and reception, but the hotel is huge so you will always be...

We've just come back from a 2 week stay at the Rethymnon Mare and having booked only 2 weeks before travelling were delighted with our choice. We have two young children who loved their stay and were more than happy with the food and facilities. There is also a chinese restaurant but we didnt feel the need to use it... More

We arrived at 4.30am to be faced with an uphill (and I mean uphill!) walk to our room. Then steps up to our family room............ the door was opened and in front of us........... more steps, but down, this time. The reception we got, at such an unearthly hour, was good, but no offer of refreshment. Our cases were taken... More

Went all inclusive with the family - everything finished at 11 pm as the all inclusive wasn't available after this time. All poolside activities were for over 14s only and there was very little to do for my 12 and 8 year olds. The drinks were all so watered down as to be tasteless and no fruit juices available at...

I have just returned from staying two weeks at the Rethynmo Mare (July 2011), There are two hotels that have joined together the Royal at the bottom and the Mare at the top. The staff are fantastic and anything that you need or want they will do their best. Nikos in the middle bar makes fantastic cocktails and takes his... More

We stayed at this hotel last summer (if you're wondering why I'm posting this review so late, it's because I've only got an tripadvisor - profile now) and it was good. I stayed here with my mother and my sister. Rooms: The Rooms are clean, and I think that's very important. We had a big room, bigger then the other... More
