Archipelagos Hotel

I stayed 2 nights here in early September. I found the hotel very clean and comfortable. The staff was very attentive to the guests needs. The breakfast was very good and offered a lot of variety. Our room on the 9th floor had spectacular views of the sea. There is a pool and pool bar with sea views. The pool staff was very pleasant and accommodating. There is a protected shallow beach across a busy road. On a calm sea day you can get beyond the break into the sea. It is about a 15 minute walk into the old town which did not disappoint. The staff was very helpful in making recommendations and dinner reservations for us. The hotel does sit on a busy road however. I would stay here again.

Stayed on our annual group trip in September and we loved it! Staff are amazing. Nothing was to big of an ask. Pool area is clean & tidy. Lots of loungers to rest on & easy access to the beach across the road.

Wonderful friendly hotel situated in a perfect location not far from Rethmyno with incredible views overlooking the sea. Staff were friendly and helpful and he rooms were kept clean. The breakfasts were great-so much variety. We would definitely recommend and visit again in the future.

I'm not getting paid here by anyone, make no mistake about it. It was our first time visiting Crete, we've been to Greece before. I can honestly tell you the Archipelagos Hotel is by heart and with heart the best vacation we've had in Greece for sure. Why ... let me explain. There was a mistake made with rooms by the travel agency, NOT by Archipelagos Hotel, since we have two kids (12&15) and separate rooms were reserved. On our arrival, that was not the case because of Agency ( I'm not gonna name it out of courtasy) declaring single room with backup beds only. The General Manager and the Owner (he designed this Archipelagos Hotel layout) took ALL his efforts for us to feel like nothing happened, while they were fully booked-no switch rooms left. His POSITIVE ENERGY & ATTITUDE made me and all of us feel welcomed a lot. He's a work horse with human approach of an educated person (professor), intelligent manners and no diplomatic BS. He even suggested us to accommodate us within his villas he also manages and are app. 30 minutes away. Sir, we have no car yet (first day at 22.00), I will take you my self; with all seriousness. You got to like the guy, an experienced older man (writing this respectfully), where all the arriving guests he takes arround the hotel are wearing a big smile because of his presence and business/managing approach! He found the solution for us as well with top rated separate rooms, no words can describe our happiness and gratitude to Him and his Team. Food is delicious and portions are huge, pool cocktails top rated and made by Andres (Pool bar Manager), super clean rooms, big shower bathrooms, fridge, AC, TV, lots of separate pools, you name it! The view is spectacular and you cannot ask for more. We would recommend it deeply and with all our heart and soul ... just like it is being run by an outstanding person, the General Manager and his Team at the reception. Everybody are talking respectfully about him and I had the privilege and honor meeting him in person while he was providing the best service for us to feel like home and the best time off at Archipelagos Hotel we"ve ever had!!! Top A+, 5 star accomodation with atmosphere like no other place! Very much recommended in all aspects. Thank you so much.

Ive been in 4 hotels in Crete , from all the others ive had an heart's welcome with gifts (Olive oil, honey, wine) . Archipelagos ( the most expensive) gifted me with a broken air conditioning system... no offer of another room (i was a 1 night guest...so...) no refund ...just a portable air conditioning system brought to the room ... it worked with the window open and was so noisy that i was obliged to turn it off after 2 hours of torture....What else...no restaurant...just a beverage machine out of order at the entrance, cheap furniture in the room and a public beach in front of the hotel that is very small and sad considering the graffitis over the concrete wall around that is the base of the noisy street just upstairs (the same street u could hear from the room if you stay with the hotels windows open)....far away from the city center and more far from the sandy beach of Rethymno ....find something more cozy or more luxurious...Archipelagos isnt both

I’ve never felt so welcomed by a hotel manager! We were given a personal tour upon arrival, and nothing was too much of an ask. The room was lovely, beautiful sea view, only a ten minute walk into town. The breakfast was fantastic and changed everyday. The place was absolutely spotless! Was a shame to leave!
