Aegean Pearl

We’ve just came back from another trip to Rethmyno after visiting in September last year and also back to the Aegean Pearl! We don’t normally visit the same place twice but knew the hotel was in a good location (a 30 minute wander along the beach road to the centre with plenty of bars, tavernas and shops along the way) The room was a decent size although the open plan bathroom and toilet without a lock does take some getting used to. We had a small balcony with a side sea view which was nice, the beds are comfy and lots of plugs sockets, storage, mirrors and decent lighting. We enjoyed a couple of relaxed days by the pool and the beach but the pool is very cold so be mindful of this! The food was different this time round and despite being quite fussy and only eating fish/vegetarian we found plenty to eat when we ate dinner at the hotel and breakfast is always very good - we loved the bougatsa. Also visited Resmo which is based in the Seabreeze apartments opposite and the food there was perfect. The entertainment was good (definitely recommend the night walking tour!) and Tassos and Manousos keep the energy going after dark. We did feel other guests were more sociable this time which also helped - without it being rowdy it’s a very relaxed place. Of course we need to mention Anna and Popi from the restaurant - we love them!

The best hotel! Everyone Were so Nice because not everyone Are like this???! When we got there super Late at night 18.7.25, we Were welcomed by a woman named Katerina and she told us everything we needed to know about the hotel. After that one of her colleague/the staff members took our luggage and showed us the way to our room, and I wish I knew his name but unfortunately I don’t know it and really hope someone does. Our room was super clean, and got to this pool area from our room and it was super calm as it wasn’t the main pool. The breakfast was amazing and I liked that everyday there was something new and different to eat and not just the same everyday. The staff always answered to any questions you had and knew alot even about things outside the hotel. Hotel had beach towels which was amazing and you didn’t have to buy your own ones. There was a beach service and u could order foods etc. there and that worked amazing and had no troubles. I loved the fact that every day there was this board in the lobby that had information about the days weather, What’s happening in the hotel at night and everything else. I have so much to say and everything is positive so I honestly don’t know What to say but overall I recommend this hotel to everyone and I will DEFINITELY come back to this hotel ASAP!!! Also we had a cute cat visitor Who came every now and then and it was so cute!! Really hope someone knows the name of the guy Who took us to our room and so much appreciation towards him since he was one of the nicest staff members there and When we left, he also showed us the shower room, which was also made really good, because When you left the hotel at noon, you Were able to put your luggage to a luggage room and go shower if needed before you leave.

As most comments Lovely hotel, location great, pool small but needed when hot. The write up states an A la Cart restaurant by jet2 but only self serve breakfast and evening meal. Food ok but not great. Luck warm after 8am and nothing special. The day time menu is again ok but not great, but walk a few yards and some lovely Taverns with great food and drinks (and not over priced as they are at Aegean Pearl) A petty issue but I ordered a beer and when arrived well below the 0.5cl so I asked for it to be topped, but then was shouted at by a female waitress not sure what she said but very rude, with bobbed hair, so embarrassing and I was very polite with my request. Rooms dated but great Very dated rooms but comfy beds and great a/c. Also not shown in photos is the Pearl beach that shares the facilities (pools and lunch time restaurant) which should be outlined in the hotel description Claims a 5 star hotel but would give3 star

A beautiful hotel ideal for couples and families with older children. Friendly and welcoming staff , lovely clean rooms with great air conditioning. Situated a stones throw from a lovely beach with its own section of sun beds free to use for hotel visitors . Waiter service on the beach if you need this , provided by a really lovely lady on hand to help she is so efficient and friendly. Highly recommend this lovely hotel and will definitely visit here again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at Aegean Pearl in Rethymno. The hotel was very clean, the food was tasty and fresh, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. A special mention goes to Mrs. Popi who works at the restaurant – she was absolutely amazing! So kind, polite, helpful and sweet – she really made our meals extra enjoyable. The hotel’s location is excellent, right in front of the beach and close to everything you might need – shops, cafés, and other services are all just a short walk away. We would definitely love to come back!

An extremely nice place with super services, friendly staff, all the facilities I imagined I would need. Comfortable and clean room with balcony, air conditioning, TV, safe, coffee machine, bath tub, etc. Various trips and activities available at the lobby office. The overall atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. Nice program every night at the hotel's terrace. The lovely beach included sun benches and umbrellas, beach towels, bar and snacks services. Warm sea water but quite high waves in some of the days. Nice and clean swimming pools are also available.
