Aqua Marina

I was staying at the hotel whilst getting a boat ready. So for me the location couldn't be better The bed was comfortable the room was tidy. One problem that might upset guests is the noise from the road I was on the first floor At night the local boy racers like to use the sea front .but this would be the same for all the hotels along the front, some I exspect you would pay a lot more for..but a part from that a pleasant stay.

We stayed 5 nights at Aqua Marina at the end of October into early November. The position overlooking the sea was great. The room was a little tired but light and spacious, though the bathroom was tight. The kitchenette was very useful and the bed comfortable. The wifi was good and the staff, though there only till 3:00pm each day, were very courteous and helpful. We arrived after the staff had left for the day, but our apartment key was waiting for us. The location, being about 1 kilometre out of Rethymno town was quiet and it was a flat pleasant walk into town. We found it convenient to be located between Chania and Heraklion. The only downside was that many of the restaurants and operators in the area, closed down on 1 November for the winter season! We had been unaware of this. Rethymno is a picturesque town, with a quaint Venetian harbour and a character filled old town.

I wanted a room near the marina. The hotel was in an excellent position for that. The beach which was just across the road looked very nice but as it was November I did not go swimming. The room was very clean and nicely kept even though it was out of the main holiday season. The main road in front of the hotel can be a bit noisy but was okay once the balcony doors were shut. I intend to use this place again .It is more of an apartment than a hotel with adequate cooking facilities if needed.There are plenty of places in the vicinity to eat and there was a nice greengrocer`s over the road.
