We were staying in Rethymno for a wedding and were not disappointed with our choice of hotel. From the minute we arrived staff were welcoming and professional. There was a little mix up with our room on the first night we arrived. To compensate we were moved to a spacious swim up suite, the following day. We were delighted with the room and very much appreciated the gesture. We tried all the restaurants, apart from the one offering Fine Dining, as we had left it too late to secure a reservation (tip to book restaurants as soon as you can) we did however take a trip to the Agreco Farm, which we thoroughly enjoyed and had a lovely alfresco meal. This also gave us the opportunity to talk to other guests staying at LUXME White. The hotel was beautiful, and we particularly enjoyed its proximity to the beach. We enjoyed daily swims in the ocean in addition to those in the pool. It was lovely having a large swim up pool at the end of our balcony/terrace & luxurious sun beds to utilise. There were so many lovely spots around the hotel to relax and enjoy the sunshine The hotel for us was in a perfect location, a quick 15 / 20 minute taxi ride takes you into Rethymno town. We would thoroughly recommend Grecotel LUXME White - beautiful hotel, stunning setting, great restaurants, professional and friendly staff, perfect location- what more could you ask for

We are approaching the end of our 9 night break at this hotel and we have had a lovely time. We booked a Petit Yali Suite which has its own private terrace with chairs and loungers and access to a shared infinity pool. The room - The room is beautiful, spacious, well air conditioned, nice shower, plenty of hanging space. The cleaners do a fantastic job and we really liked the night time staff visit who always left bottles of water, clean towels and sweets on the bed, my wife and I called them the fairies. The infinity pool - Beautiful pool with picture perfect views across the sea. We enjoyed spending our time here during the day. We were a little disappointed that the pool drinks service didn’t extend to this pool, considering the amount of extra money spent to stay in the Yali Collection we felt it should have some pool service. Our neighbour felt the same and contacted reception and to the hotels credit a member of staff visited frequently to take drinks orders (he was getting very well tipped by us and others which was lovely for him as he worked so hard). One small thing that hotel could do is to erect a sign near the entrance to the infinity pool by the dove centre and beach, stating that the pool is for guests of 406 to 419 only. I only say this as frequently people came up off the beach and jumped in the pool without washing sand off them. Main pool - The main pool is line something you’d see in a movie, truly spectacular. The only downside for us as a couple who have older children now was the number of young children in the pool. Some of them didn’t have a volume switch and were so loud. I think the hotel should consider making the main pool adult only (over 16’s). There s a dedicated kids pool and an activity pool, I therefore think an area for adults like us who are after a peaceful break would be of benefit. Food - The biggest breakfast, lunch and dinner was well presented, fresh and tasty. I quite liked that there isn’t rows and rows of food, instead a smaller selection that is of higher quality was nice to see. The Italian for lunch was pleasant, even better on the evening. The White was stunning, glorious food and presentation. The Tavernaki was dissatisfying, we waited a long time for our food, only had one waitress visit to ask if wanted a drink once and when the main course arrived it was barely warm. Not a great experience so we cancelled our visit there for later in our trip. The stand out restaurant for us was Asia White, the most attentive and friendly staff, superb service and delicious food, the crispy duck and salmon were awesome. We are looking forward to going there again for our final night. Staff - From checking in we felt special, a cold towel, a glass of of rose bubbles, the reception team and guest services team are the BEST I have ever encountered. The maintenance teams cleaning the pools and cleaning trams and ground keepers looking after the pathways and beautiful surrounding,
