Rimondi Grand Hotel And Spa Resort

I would recommend staying at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, Evi the hotel manager was helpful and explained how to make use of all the hotel facilities. Virginia and the other hotel staff in the reception area were amazing; always willing to answer any enquiries. The restaurant staff were also wonderful and there is a nice selection of food. The cleaning staff are regular and do a good job. The gentleman who drove the shuttle bus was very nice and was always happy to see us. For me, it was the hotel staff who made our stay special. This is a nice place to stay if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. It's peaceful and calm, with beautiful surroundings.

Me and my husband chose this place for our very belated honeymoon and it did not disappoint! We wanted peace and calm away from everyday life and that’s exactly what this delivered. If you are looking for a party holiday this is not for you. This is very much designed to enjoy the peace and tranquility. The views were incredible and there were plenty of places to sit in the sun and enjoy a cocktail. The alcohol is NOT watered down and definitely got me and husband tipsy when we fancied! The lady we dealt with most at reception was a wonderful lady called peny, she did everything she could to make sure we had the best experience and all the staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. They had some wonderful traditional greek food on offer for their meals (my husband is a fussy eater and would have at least 2 plates every meal, as did I ) as well as a snack bar with pizza and pasta We will definitely be coming back again and we are sad to be leaving. If you want a relaxed quiet peaceful getaway. This is the place for you! Thank you for an incredible stay

Tranquil, peaceful, ideal for those wanting to enjoy the serenity of crete, with self entertainment, as in low season none is provided, Duplex rooms and apartments set back in a hillside over 4 levels, lots of steps and hills so not really suited for those with mobility issues, well kept, food very repetitive but enjoyable non the less, friendly helpful staff, rooms cleaned at your request by way of email 24hrs before hand, pool towels or use your own, 4 pools to choose from, plenty of seating, tea making facilities in room plus fridge, alcohol very weak almost watery unless you buy specific brands, Buses to the city which is well worth the look, qwerky and interesting, you pay £50 return private taxi for four or hotel bus £11 return each person. A beautiful place for total relaxation and unwinding

I stayed here for a week the beginning of October 2024. The resort is beautiful although I wouldn't say it 5☆. The room needed updating and the showers were full of rust and limescale. The shower heads were full of limescale so didn't work properly. The food was ok, definitely not 5☆. The entertainment was poor. The pools were lovely and plenty of sunbeds but that could be different in peak season. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. I would recommend the resort as a 3 to 4 ☆.

Lovely spa hotel, spa facilities and pool facilities are great, I got a Greek massage which was unbelievable. The food was varied but not of high quality, and would have liked to see more authentic traditional options as didn’t really feel much like we were in Greece when we were eating. However still some nice options. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms clean and had everything you needed. Gym was poor, it was a room hidden away on top of a bar that no one mentioned to us, with a bike, a few dumbbells and a yoga mat. Weird rule about not being able to take more than one drink from the bar at a time, even if you were taking a drink for yourself and whoever you were with. So had to go back and forward. This was inconsistently implemented depending on staff on the bar. Cocktails very watered down. It was about 15 minutes in a taxi to the town 22 Euros each way, not much else around the hotel so if you’re looking for a chilled stay out of the way doing nothing at a reasonably priced all inclusive this is the place for you. They have a ‘private beach’ which is just a small bit of dirty sand with old sunbeds so really wouldn’t recommend it being worth the shuttle bus down there. Rethymno old town is lovely, if I came back I would stay nearer the town. Overall we had a nice holiday because the weather was good and the pools were good, and we could generally eat some half decent food. Not brilliant but not bad either, some good points and some to improve on.
