Grecotel Plaza Beach House

Enzo Lattanzio

We’ve had a wonderful first stay in Crete at Grecotel Plaza Beach House in Rethymno. It is a delightful city hotel with a cozy feel and incredibly friendly, helpful staff. Mike and the front desk staff went above and beyond to assist us throughout our visit. We were delighted when they upgraded our room, and having a kitchen in the apartment was a fantastic perk. Everything was clean and comfortable, thanks to the very kind housekeeping crew. A huge thank you to Theo and his wonderful breakfast team for their warm and friendly service. The breakfast buffet was a real highlight of our stay—the food quality was superb, fresh, and beautifully presented! We felt incredibly safe at the pool thanks to Despina, the amazing lifeguard. She was always alert, watching the water with total focus, and stepping in immediately to stop any unsafe games. This dedication allowed us as parents to completely relax and unwind. While I noticed she had to correct a few parents during our stay, she did so with absolute professionalism. Despina is excellent at assessing risks and calling out unsafe behaviour. For any parent who lets their guard down on holiday, her sharp eyes and vital role are things we should deeply appreciate. We had an unforgettable holiday and will definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit to Crete!

A really lovely experience. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great location about a 30 minute walk to the old town. Nice pools and an overall upscale but chill vibe. Great breakfast. Reasonable price. Free parking in a lot about 2 minutes away. I would highly recommend this hotel.

We appreciated that you opened the dining room earlier for us. However, we were surprised that, even though the breakfast buffet was already prepared or in the process of being set up, we were not allowed to take even a few additional items beyond the plate that had been prepared for us. This is not about the quantity of food, but about the attention and care shown to your guests. We informed the reception one day in advance that we would be leaving for an organized excursion before the official breakfast time. A small gesture like this would have made a significant difference to our experience. Sometimes, true hospitality is reflected in flexibility and empathy toward guests, not only in following a schedule.
