Harmony Rethymno Beach Hotel

this hotel was an absolute hidden gem!! feels so so luxurious as soon as you enter. The private beach at your feet is so beautiful with beautiful sunsets in the evening. The hotel and rooms overall are so clean and modern. We stayed for 9 days and felt so relaxed and refreshed did not want to leave. The staff are so friendly especially the bar man, we were all inclusive so food was amazing too lots of variety. Lots of local shops but not much to do, but easy cheap access to buses that take you into the beautiful rethymono town where there is so much to see and do too. We also did a day trip into Chania which was fun, would definitely recommend doing a trip into lake kournas for breathtaking views and paddle boating which isn't too far, we also went to falassarna beach for a day which was great but we had bad weather, definitely recommend doing the bus tour into the mili gorge mountains for beautiful scenery too. overall would love to come again 10/10 recommend.

A cracker of a hotel. Spotless clean. Ideal destination for couples. Not so much for families,due to lack of activities for kids during day and night. Kids and teens took to watching iPads and phones. €20 in taxi to the town. 15 min drive. The staff are easily the best I have encountered. The kitchen staff are the friendliest bunch and happy go lucky. Always smiling. The hotel was bomo under former management and YouTube videos reflect that. That’s why you might see kids clubs and Activities under former owner. Unfortunately nightlife was limited. Especially if you are a nine drinker. Only so much all inclusive fizzy drinks one can drink. I would talk to the skirting board and found majority where Eastern European,kept to themselves and didn’t engage. At night they would hog the queue and the bar man’s time by ordering shots and vodka. But they where put in their place by the Barman. The sea is at the foot of the hotel. You could fall out of bed and fall into the sea. The sea floor is stoney and large boulders. Buy sea shoes in local shop. Be prepared to get up at 6am to put your towel on your recliner. Come 7am. All the beds on the and around pool will be taking. Even tho the pool opens up at 10am. Watching the sunset whilst swimming in sea is. Breathtaking. A trip to the town is a must too €18 in taxi one way. Travel in comfort…15 mins. Great restaurants and pubs. Nothing too ladish and you are not getting lured in or pestered either. If getting taxi. Get a card from reception for return visit. Most taxi drivers don’t recognise it as the harmony. Only as bomo
