It is important to note that our visit to this property was in late February during the off season in Crete. We stayed at the special “luxury” apartment, which is in a separate building across the street from the main Rainbow Apartments. The larger apartment buildings were closed, so we cannot comment on what this facilities is like during its season. We loved staying here, and found the apartment really nice for the two of us. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen worked well, the sea view and access to the beach below was great, and the manager helped us with everything we needed. Be aware that there is some traffic noise from the road below the apartment, though it is not overwhelming.

Clean well equipped apartment would recommend

Apartment was very clean but basic. Had to ask for bowls for cereal. No microwave. Ate out every day had breakfast in apartment.

upgraded to superior triple for 2 of us. Flat spacious spotless and cleaned every2-3 days. Pool area also well maintained and very clean. Staff couldnt be more helpful and when you add in that it is 5 min from beach/nightlife but quiet and very well situated for local bus or hired car i would give it 10 out of 10. Superb value for money

The room was amazing with a view to the mountains and sea. There is a minimarket just near the hotel so its really comfortable. Local area was queit in mid April.

rainbow apartments are perfectly situated for both the beach and the tavernas in stalis which is only a short walk away from the accommodation pool bar serves food and drinks at reasonable prices. there is also a bar at the front of the hotel which is used in the evening except on barbeque night which is held at the pool bar once a week had a great holiday would definitely go back

As a couple in our 50's, we stayed four nights in a Superior Studio at Rainbow Apartments in early April, which is shoulder season. The complex is setback from the road by a short, stone entryway and garden. There is space to park, perhaps, two cars directly in front of the gate, while the road around the corner can accommodate everyone else. In the off-season, at least, the road has virtually no traffic late at night. The apartment was modern, clean, and quiet. A small safe was in the closet. The bedding was fine. WiFi was fine. It's a good base for exploring with car Heraklion/Knossos (~20 minutes) and sights east (Malia, Ay Nick, Gournia, Lato, Panagia Kera). The kitchenette had fridge, microwave, stove, cookware, and silverware. You may need your own sponge and dish-soap. The nearest supermarket of any size is 5 minutes away in Malia. However, we bought groceries when passing larger supermarkets closer to Heraklion. Maria at the front desk speaks English well, and she was very helpful with sightseeing suggestions tailored to our interests. For example, knowing we would travel later to Rethymno and that we had enjoyed exploring ancient Lato, Maria suggested ancient Elephtherna and its new archaeology museum. (Good advice). We had no need for the A/C in April; in fact, we used the machine for heating the apartment at night. When visiting this part of Crete, we would return to Rainbow.

Clean, comfortable with a biggish pool, pool table and pool bar. Friendly staff who were very helpful.
