Right on the Blue Flag beach at the end of the Rethymno promenade overlooking the Cretan Sea, 5-star Aegean Pearl provides stylish rooms and a Greek breakfast. The hotel features 3 pools and 2 gourmet restaurants. Rooms at the Aegean Pearl are decorated with modern furnishings and include a satellite LCD TV and DVD player. All air-conditioned units have a furnished balcony. Some rooms offer sea views and others feature a private pool. Ariadne Restaurant serves a rich dinner buffet at its terrace. Brasserie Loukoulos serves snacks, lunch and dinner with views of the sea and the pool. Wellness options include a hammam and a fully equipped gym. Younger guests can have fun at the 2 children’s pools or at the playground. The center of Rethymno with the Venetian fortress is a 3-minute drive. The staff at the tour desk can arrange car rental and free private parking is available on site. Chania International Airport is 41 miles away.
The people are very friendly, the atmosphere is refreshing. A superb location from the hotel where it is easily accessible. The quality of the massage was superb and would highly recommend it
Lovely hotel situated across the road from a beautiful beach. It's situated about one mile walk along the promenade from rethymno town. If that is too far there is a taxi rank a few yards from the hotel entrance. The hotel staff were friendly and very welcoming.Nothing was too much trouble. The food in the restaurant was varied and plentiful. No need to eat the same meal everyday. The staff were extra helpful and a special mention for Popi who looked after us very well.
The room you gave me for 3 people is very small and not suitable at all, the bathroom is open space and not suitable for a family with a 14 year old child, I do not recommend this type of room, the coffee in the room from the espresso machine is extra (embarrassing for a 5 star hotel), the air conditioning works when it wants to, the pools are overcrowded, the food is about ok and the attitude of the employees is pathetic!!!! I do not recommend this hotel plus it is overpriced for what it offers.
Second time that we’ve stayed in Rethymno, the previous time was at the sister hotel, Pearl Beach. The Aegean Pearl is definitely a step up. Room was suitable for a family of three which included a 16 year old. Open bathroom was interesting but we made it work. Staff are very polite in all areas and is the big plus of the hotel along with the beach front and private beach. Only slight criticism is that the main pool for the Aegean Pearl doesn’t have enough sun loungers for the guests however there is another pool at the rear of the hotel that is a lot quieter and has more space. I would definitely recommend and I’m sure we’ll return.
The staff are incredibly professional, friendly, and welcoming, making sure you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your visit. I had both a full-body massage and, later, a massage focused on my back and shoulders, followed by a facial treatment. Olga with her team Alina and Tania are truly excellent at what they do, and I highly recommend everyone to visit their salon. ☺️ My and my friends will definitely love to come back to Melody Spa✨
