Gorgeous hotel, service was perfect. Any little problem that could have been solved was immediately fixed by staff. Public areas and rooms were immaculately clean. Best hotel breakfast I’ve ever seen with 30 trays of hot and probably 50 cold dishes. Pool area and beach were lovely and relaxing. The one warning I would have is that the pool area is very slippery and dangerous. There are few handrails (really only one) so it’s hard to enter and exist safely. I saw several people slip. If food is not included in your rate I would recommend visiting other local hotels for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is nice but is very expensive relative to the local area.

Beautiful hotel located midway between Heraklion and Chania. Loved the beach and restaurant. Our room was amazing with our own pool and fireplace in our private outdoor area. Staff couldn't have been nicer. Loved Rethymno's old town which was a short cab drive away. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing stay with very good facilities for the families. The staff in the kids club was fabulous and kept the kids wanting to go back. Also loved the kids buffet in the afternoon Aside from family facilities the restaurant served very good food, the pool and beach was great as well The service on the beach could do with a little improvement in terms of people serving

I loved everything about this hotel; from the ”welcome!” to the ”hope to see you soon again!” Very friendly staff, excellent housekeeping and absolutely stunning rooms and gardens. Located right on the beach, and has a really nice poolarea. It is familyfriendly but even still a nice, quiet luxurious hotell. I was upgraded to a room with a terrace with a jacuzzi (that I never got around to use, sadly) and I could never ask for a lovelier room! The gym is one area that could improve; it is on the smaller scale and it lacked music and atmosphere. This vacay will stay with me for a long time. Yes- it is pricey but worth every penny.

As it was early April, the hotel was reasonably quiet. The whole area of the hotel and pool was very relaxing and super clean. Staff service in EVERY area of the hotel was first class: Front of house, Housekeeping, Dining, Pool and Bar areas, the young man who delivered drinks to the room and those who helped with luggage. It is obvious that careful attention is given to the recruitment and training of staff as, without exception, every member of staff was friendly and most attentive to whatever request we had.

Excellent resort with great management and exceptional service crew - friendly, paying attention, solution oriented. We already stayed several times and we’ve never been disappointed - on the contrary. Great place to relax, enjoy family live with kids (excellent kids club) and Greek cuisine. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel, amazing food, and staff very friendly. The local area isn’t quite as lovely and so the hotel could perhaps benefit from hosting a little more entertainment/activities. Would also be nice if boards could be purchased rather than just bed and breakfast.

Staff are excellent, very warm welcoming and helpful. Those on reception, by beach, at restaurants, entertainers and the cleaners were great, exceptional service. Rooms are nice, very comfortable clean and beautifully designed (but shower screens could be longer). Breakfast is tasty and varied. Mountain tea and Cretan food were lovely. Beach is ok, but very rocky. Beach by rethymnon town is better. Can see snow capped mountains from beach. Hotel is nice for families. Hotel was full of lots of well-heeled families with children. Area around hotel is quiet. Mythos restaurant near hotel is nice, great dakos and nice decor, full of flowers. Bus to town stops right outside hotel. Some wonderful restaurants in the old town with great food and service and gorgeous decor. Rethymnon itself is well worth a visit; full of character, it’s charming, arty, friendly and relaxed. Nice boutiques and shops too.

beautiful salt water pool, easy access to beautiful beach. Staff is friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and very nice, though no bathtub and despite thick curtains light still got in the room in the mornings to wake us up. Good food though very overpriced. Restaurants that are walking distance are ok, did not find anything really good.

We booked this hotel 8 days before travel, visiting for 14 nights in mid May 2018. It was the only hotel in the area that was 5 star with a 5 star review rating, and it certainly lived up to expectations. We cannot thank the staff enough for their attention to detail. We had a lovely room with large enclosed patio, complete with loungers, brolly and chairs, sea view and room was fully serviced twice a day. The restaurant was excellent, although we only ate their 4 times in the evening, breakfast was fantastic something for everyone. It was a 1 mile walk to the start of the main commercial area, with dozens of shops and restaurants, all food very good and reasonable. Rethymnon itself worth a visit and again excellent restaurants and shopping 5 miles away. One final thing, the hotel wifi is full strength and fast throughout the entire resort including beach and pool. We will definitely return, one of our most relaxing holidays in a long time.

Our stay at the Caramel was excellent and I recommend booking to anyone unsure. I've see criticism of the hotel's location, but anything you'd need is available within a couple of minute's walk. Caramel isn't in the main town of Rethymnon, and to get there you need to get a bus which takes around 10 minutes or enjoy the pleasant 90 minute walk. Rethymnon is where all the night life is with a great range of restaurants, bars, dock side eateries and everything you'd associate with that. Whilst Caramel is a distance from Rethymnon, it has small markets and a decent choice of restaurants and bars directly outside the door. I don't think location's a problem, unless you're very keen to be in the middle of all the action. The customer service at Caramel exceeded all of our expectations. Upon check in we were greeted with snacks, a local refreshment drink in a cocktail glass and cool towels. The staff make sure that you're treated to a very high standard at all times. Examples of this are too numerous to mention, but some highlights included, staff setting up new table outside for us at breakfast when the area was full, the daily provision of a different flavour of liquor in our room each night, fresh fruit and water provision at the beach and pool side... All in all, it's a brilliant place to stay. We loved it. Thank you!
