Lots of ants in the bathroom, not a 5 star hotel

Fantastic room, courteous staff and gorgeous pool/ breakfast area.

When we checked into the room, we found the clipped nails of past guests. the pillows were torn. the blanket is dirty. the bathroom is very dirty and smelly. my family and I stayed for 7 days, we did not change bed linen even once. the staff is very arrogant and rude.

All ok. Good location. Good food. 9Good place for holiday again.

Location was great, staff were ultra friendly and helpful, lovely pool with easy beach access, great bar and nightly entertainment. Fantastic jewellers on site.

Lovely hotel, close to beach with very friendly staff. The room was extremely comfortable.

Lots to do Good food at a good price Would definitely go again

Excellent hotel with attention to local detail. Lovely dinners.

A fantastic hotel. Super modern luxe building. Gorgeous pool. Lovely bar and restaurant areas. Fabulous food and drink - especially the cocktails. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Spotlessly clean. Great location over the road from the beach. Amazing sunset every night. A real find and very good value for money. Would defintely reccomend.

Great hotel, super breakfast, friendly staff. Would definitely return and recommend to friends. Nice end of town, 40mibs from town centre but fantastic restaurants on the doorstep

Went for a family function. Beach assistant went out of his way to be helpful.

Directly opposite the beach so fab views. Our room was on the lower ground floor towards the back of the hotel, with a veranda and direct access to a small pool area with a few sun loungers too. It was lovely, and very quiet. The beds were really comfy and the bathroom was spotless with a great shower. The hotel is located on the eastern side of Rethymnon and there are several great places to eat if you turn right and head back into the town away from the beach. Otherwise the beautiful old town and stunning harbour is a 5€ taxi ride or a 30 minute seaside walk away. There are lots of great places to eat there and the seafood in particular is some of the best I've ever eaten. Top notch! Would definitely recommend this place.

Our second time staying at Sentido Aegean Pearl. We were really impressed with our first stay 2 years ago. This time around it exceeded our expectations. We were escorted to our room and to our surprise it came with a private over looking the beach. I can't fault this hotel the staff were courteous and friendly the room comfortable and the location perfect for us. I would like to give a big thank you to Mihalis Mpatzakis, Mihalis Kampourakis, Zarnia, Vangelo, Konlos, and Giorgia who all made our stay memorable. We most definitely will return! .

We enjoyed our stay very much. The breakfast & staff were lovely. Eugene also helped us alot. Thank you. The only problem we had was we couldn't get a seat around the pool!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for ten nights in May and found it to be a wonderful experience. The food in the breakfast buffet was delicious and the staff in the restaurant were a delight. The staff overall were very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Our room was beautiful with everything working perfectly and the bed was very comfortable. I would think it was more of a four star hotel quality rather then 5 star though. We are aged 25-26 and only noticed a handful of other couples our age but were mostly surrounded by elderly couples of which English was not their native language. There were activities organised most days/nights although one thing i will say is that perhaps low playing music should be introduced in the common areas to provide some kind of atmosphere as it was deathly quiet at times, enough to make you whisper you're entire conversation. All in all we had a delightful stay and would recommend this hotel to our friends of a slightly older age bracket.

It is right next to the beach and has 2 excellent outdoor swimming pools plus one indoor. We cannot speak too highly of the staff who greeted us like friends. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the food choice outstanding especially breakfast.There are a lot of other places to eat closeby and the short walk into Rethynmo is pleasant. There is plenty of space around the swimming pools to sunbathe and the hotel has its own private part of the main beach. Hiring a car is easy with 2 hire companies within 50metres of the hotel. We would return again if we returned to mthat part of the island.

We stayed for 4 nights and initially I was a little disappointed when I arrived as although the hotel looked nice it was at the end of a road which ran betweit and the beach. From the photos it would suggest it was on the beach. The road leading to the town was a little grubby and dull, this may be because we were slightly per summer season. however the hotel was nice it had 3 pools and the staff were friendly. Inhad asked for a twin room as it was for my friend and I however we got a double and the bathroom was very open to the room. Suitable for a couple but not really friends. We also had an issue with the hot water which was not very hot, which I did report to the hotel, but no one did anything about. There's not much to do in rethminyion town a party from a few bars and shops. There's boat trips if the weather is nice and there's tonnes of excursions to do which all include a long coach ride. The excursions are good if the weathers not great, other wise find a nice beach and just hang out there!

Had a wonderful time at this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I was traveling with my 4 year old daughter and she was dealing with the 7 hour time difference. The staff automatically extended/pulled breakfast beyond closing for her and found things she enjoyed eating (she is picky) without me ever asking. They her tubes and beach balls to use in the pool and sea. Also, the hotel is a 30 minute walk to Old Town or 5 minute ride by taxi. Lots to see and do in town thanks to the recommendations made by the hotel. Hotel rooms were very comfortable and extremely clean as well. You will not be disappointed!

We staid for 10 days in August. The weather was perfect. The friendly service made this hotel. Every member of staff had a smile and a welcome for everyone. The food was excellent. A good selection of quality for breakfast. The lunches available were very reasonable, huge and really good quality. Dinner was a buffet and again a very large selection. However this was an expensive way to eat and worked out 40% more than the town. Hotel room was very modern and well presented. The shower was really good and the lighting in the room was cool. The air condition worked very well and kept the room really cool. Rooms were also quite with very little noise penetration. Only improvement for us would have been to have some soft pillows, the ones in the room were very hard. There is one main pool for the hotel which was well controlled by the hotel with towel bandits having their towels removed if they left them to hog chairs. All in a very nice hotel which we would return to and would recommend to our freinds.

We had a lovely stay. In particular I really liked the room overall, the bed and the interior design. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was lovely.
