Apollon Hotel Apartments

The Apollon is a small family run hotel. The hotel is in a resort just outside Rethymno and is not too busy but with enough to make it interesting and give plenty of choices. The apartments in the hotel are spacious and of a high quality with an outdoor seating area. The kitchen area has everything you need to make light snacks and drinks. Everywhere is very clean and serviced regularly. The pool is just perfect to swim or relax in. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine for our breakfast every morning with a choice of cooked eggs and fresh cold meat, cheese, fruit, yogurt, cereal, juice etc. The Apollon is close enough to the main shopping/restaurant area but far away enough to be peaceful. Just follow the signs for a short walk (approx. 8-10 minutes) to the beach. The whole area has a good choice of restaurants, all reasonably priced. The bus route is easily accessible and there are always taxis available close to the main street. Everyone we met was very friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of shops advertising excursions and activities. We enjoyed two excellent trips by coach from the Klados Panagiotis company and they were interesting, informative and excellent value for money, enabling us to see more of beautiful Crete without hiring a car.

It was very clean and had everything we needed. The balcony was a good size and the location was perfect. The pool was lovely and clean and the bar prices were very reasonable. As were the limited items in the small convenience shop inside the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Close to bus stops, shops, tavernas and the beach. The wifi was really good. The hotel was close to lidl and other big supermarkets that where also very reasonably priced.

Well laid out apartments surrounding a good size pool. The studio apartment we had was ideal for 2 people and well equipt. The staff were friendly and helpful. There are a few restaurants quite close but the main part of Plantanes is about a 10 minute walk. The main centre of Rethymno is about 3 miles away. Plenty buses at 1.20 euros or taxi at 10 euros.

This is a great value property with a lovely pool and pool area and bar! We found lots of friendly people staying, a lot of Brits. We had a car so was easy to get around although not essential. Close to shops and restaurants. We stayed for 2 nights after getting into heraklion port in the evening and then heading off to Chania. We both agreed we would have happily stayed longer.

Very relaxed atmosphere, friendly and unobtrusive staff. Rooms are clean and spacious, very nice pool. The kitchen is quite decent for basic meal preparation. Supermarket is We will come again 🙂
