Begeti Bay

We have just spent a lovely week here at Begeti Bay. Lovely clean room, spacious balcony with a beautiful view of all of the fruit trees and evening sun. All of the staff were really friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome. We enjoyed the facilities including playing in the tennis court, swimming in the pool and sun bathing (we never struggled to get a sunbed at any point during the day). An amazing view of the sunset each night. Entertainment is on three nights a week, we particularly enjoyed the Greek night. Food was varied each day, something for everyone...the salads and roasted vegetables were a favourite of ours. The location is in at the end of a quiet beach in Skaleta. We had a nice stroll and had food in the local Taverna which we would also recommend. There is a shop in the hotel, includes drinks, snacks, cigarettes, souvenirs etc. You can also buy a bus ticket here and take the bus to Rethymno, we visited the old town and it was just beautiful, lots of little shops and bars. We also went to the beach in Rethymno and that is a lot bigger but there was a charge for a sun bed (25 euros for 2). During our stay we also did two excursions-an all day boat trip from the Rethymno port and a water park in Chania (definitely recommend). Overall we had a lovely stay, thank you for having us🩷

Had a nice relaxing holiday,

Plane was delay and arrived early morning, was welcomed, given some food and drink, told not to worry about checking in given key and said to sort out in morning when awake, which was nice and no hassle.

Pros - nice quiet location, no hassle, hotel was clean and staff very friendly, as with all inclusive the food was made for the masses, it was a very good standard and always plenty of choices available with nice seating area outside . No rush to claim a sun bed as plenty available. Its location is at the end of the beach, so a little remote, with one local restaurant and a little shop within walking distance. The views are amazing, you can watch the sun set over the sea every night with a glass in your hand. Buses into town cost 2.20€ one way and are frequent, so worth a visit, if you staying longer than a week a hire car would be a good option to see more.

Cons - due to the remoteness it may not be everyone’s choice. The beach opposite was the worst part, even though it looks beautiful. The sea is very rocky and is almost impossible to to walk out, even with shoes on, in the end it’s easier to walk half a mile down the road to a sandy section and hire out a sun bed there for 10€ a pair, To the right of the hotel there is some sort of working stone/rock harbour, this creates noise and dust during the day and is a little unsightly.. Entertainment wise there is a Greek night on Thursdays, other than that it’s just a little music in the background. Also as with most holidays abroad you do get the odd whiff of poo every now and then !
