Adele Beach

We had a fantastic stay at Adele Beach Hotel!The location is excellent, with sunbeds always available on the beach and at the pool. Beach towels are available for a returnable deposit.

Our rooms were very comfortable, modern and cleaned every day. The aircon was very effective and quiet. Drawers would have been useful as storage was limited.

The all-inclusive package was great with fresh, varied, delicious buffet options with a different themed cuisine each night. There was always a good selection of dessert options, including different flavoured ice creams, it would have been nice to also have the choice of a cone rather than just a bowl.

A big shoutout to the amazing staff, especially Anna at the evening bar who took the time to remember our names and drink orders and Manos for his fantastic hospitality at the pool bar and in the restaurant. The hotel reception staff were always friendly and welcoming.

It is a peaceful, relaxed hotel, which was perfect for us but may not be ideal for families with young children looking for entertainment.

We chose to hire a car, however the hotel would benefit from more car parking space as we did sometimes struggle to find a space.

As cat lovers we enjoyed being greeted by a couple of the resident hotel cats, especially Gina the black cat!

Would definitely recommend for groups or couples looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday in Crete.

Amazing time, amazing team, amazing food, , amazing amenities, we cannot wait to come back! This was our 5th time coming and second time coming this years and we cannot wait to come back.

Just got back from our first visit to Crete. Stayed at this wonderful hotel - staff are friendly, happy and willing and able to converse in enough English for us to understand. Even better if you’re willing to try some Greek words. The rooms were always very clean and the towels and beds etc well made/fresh. Food was fresh and well presented - they tended to have a themed night such as fish or international. Not great choice for vegans but we kind of expected that though the bits they did put on when there were very good but most times lacked a protein source.
Beach area was well looked after and maintained as was the pool area and being a slightly smaller hotel there was always space on the loungers in either location and a nice chilled and relaxed atmosphere to the place. The beach has sandy strips but the bit just before the water is made up of small pedals . The sea bed is worn stone and irregular and quite shallow for the first 40 metres or so at least. But very pleasant. Pool is very deep - not much of it I could stand up in and I'm 6ft 3in. Lovely and quiet location and plenty of day trips you can book with reception- bear in mind you will need to pay cash for those. The pool side bar is a treat and again always staffed by warm and friendly staff. Only negative is that rooms are advertised as having a safe - they do but you have to pay 2 euro a day for a key from reception to use them. Not made aware of this by travel agent - you then have to keep a small key with you rather than remember a code for the safe. Local shops good especially on the main road - the coffee and bakery place was good as was Kouros supermarket. The two trips we took part in were amazing as was catching the bus into Rethimno which was 2.20 euro each way per person and worth an explore. All in all a great place to stay with only a tiny negative. Would we go again? Yes, but I think they need to think of more menu choices but maybe thats me being very picky and probably not in Cretan culture and we did get by.
