Five-Star Hotels in Panormos Rethymno

Me and my fianceé recently spent a week at this luxurious resort in Crete and we were absolutely delighted with our stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff provided top-notch service and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We got upgrade to Deluxe room with private pool with sea view and that was the icing on the cake. You can choose from many swimming pools including a heated one. Some pools have salty water, we appreciated the adults only zone next to the pool and what can I say..... the cabanas are divine. The resort has very relaxing atmosphere, quiet despite of the resort is relatively large. The food was delicious, to many variations to choose from. On breakfast I appreciated the coffee, which was made on the bar not automatic machine by myself. Dinner has to many corners with food from pizza, pasta, sea food, greek corner and many more. I especially found the desserts very impressive. I have never seen such high level desserts at hotels. The cleaning lady did her job very well with attention to details. Overall, our stay at the Royal Senses Resort & Spa was pure paradise. The combination of stellar accommodations, remarkable service, and gorgeous setting made this one of the most luxurious and memorable vacations we've ever had.

We love Crete and we come here almost every year. We stayed quite in a few nice and luxury hotels of this beautiful island. To be honest it was the best hotel experience in Crete for the last 10 years. Our experience here was genuinely a magic one. We were warmly welcomed by two Guest Service ladies: Anastasia and Guest Service Manager Anastasia Stamataki. It felt like coming home after a long long trip. Our family suite #219 was very spacious, cozy and clean, with a nice terrace and a private pool outside. Nice design, quiet neighbourhood and a beautiful sea view. We loved the bath amenities and the most comfortable beds. The breakfast food meets the requirements of the most demanding guest: there were lots of choices for vegetarians and vegans, including healthy fresh smoothies, lots of local herbal teas, fruits and treats, etc. Morning cooks were always very polite and friendly. Restaurant team Rokas, Vasilis, Manolis, Anggelos, many others and the happiest hostess Euleutheria welcomed us every day with a happy smile and a small talk. Coffee arrives on the table within a minute. We enjoyed live music of cello during the breakfast. It was so relaxing. SPA is another happy universe of The Royal Blue. Vicky was kind and very attentive while choosing the best massage for me and my daughter. Zafeirenia, George, Konstantinos, Alexandra and Melda, the most professional and at the same time very friendly SPA team ready to do their best to make a guest feel in paradise. A complimentary SPA pool was like a cherry on our cake: very relaxing and pleasant. I had a few small talks with the personnel of the hotel and I learnt the secret of the magic: the crew works 5 day week and they have time to rest and enjoy their lives. My compliments go to the management of this hotel: only happy crew can make hotel guests' experience in The Royal Blue genuinely unforgettable. We can't wait to be back to this hotel.

An excellent resort, completly renovated, in a beautiful location, very good service, very creative entertainment, very good food and with beautifully landscaped gardens. Exceptional.

The hotel is small, with a small number of rooms. At check-in they give a bottle of local wine and a plate of fruit. The staff are very polite and pleasant. Some days we lived with a sea facing room, a few with a garden view. The rooms have everything, clean. Very liked that for dinner every day was a different cuisine. And everything was delicious! My husband has gluten intolerance - and the chef told him which dishes were gluten-free, and sometimes even cooked specially. There was a very good breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks to the hotel we had an amazing holiday!

Overall, Rethymno Mare offers everything needed for a memorable vacation. Comfortable rooms, welcoming staff, amazing pools, and delicious food make it a place we would happily return to.

Everything was perfect. Clean, nice, modern room with large balcony. Tasty food and drinks. 3 clean swimming pools with sun beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet location with nice views. Definitely recommend.

The all-inclusive package exceeded expectations. There was plenty of variety in meals, snacks, and drinks throughout the day. We never had to worry about anything, which made the holiday completely stress-free.

Everything I wish I could give it more than 10

SERVICE FRIENDLINESS OF STAFF EFFICIENCY OF STAFF AT BREAKFAST AND RESTAURANT.

Beautifully designed hotel with amazing lagoon shaped saltwater pool in the center. Village-like plan but very upscale. Wonderful gardening, perfect maintenance and squeaky clean. Great service by real professionals. Recommend the dinner in addition to the amazing breakfast. This is a hotel where the food is really great, fresh, nicely presented and served on a beautiful veranda. A safe, elegant and calm environment with beauty wherever you look.
