Macaris Suites & Spa

The property was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. Breakfast was large and plentiful with many local options as well. The pool was fun, but chilly. There’s a small children’s area of the pool. Our room was fantastic and large with a full kitchen including a dishwasher. The balcony was large and the view to the water and the fortress in Rethymnon was beautiful. Our kids loved the jetted bathtub. We loved the location with simple access to a small, protected beach across the road.

We thought this place would be fantastic for kids with the large suite-style rooms, but it really wasn’t ideal for young kids. The indoor pool is not available for kids because it is part of the spa, so even though it was chilly outside, our kids couldn’t use the indoor pool. The clientele was mostly older, so they were not very friendly to our kids swimming even outdoors or playing near the pool. Our suggestion would be to allow kids the opportunity to swim during a few hours a day in the indoor pool in case of inclement weather outside. Overall it was a very nice place, just not the best for our family.

The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast was great, awesome.pool and directly opposite the beach. Location was perfect. Will definitely go back

nothing

The breakfast was really good, lots of options, some of them local; it wasn't completely amazing, but it was up there with the best hotel breakfasts. The suite is large, modern and clean, felt like home. Nice little window in the bathroom. View from the huge suite balcony was perfect. Parking easy. This is important - it is NOT easy to find parking in the old town, and from this hotel it's an easy 15-20 min walk to town. Pool very nice, architecturally pleasing too. Nice hotel all over. Welcome fruit and wine in the fridge were appreciated too.

Small detail. More towel and clothes hooks and a chair in the bathroom. It is huge but you cannot do much with it. Not enough light in it. Has a built-in 5x lens mirror inside the regular one, super cool idea except there's insufficient light so you can't really use it (tip for the hotel: long-sighted people, who need it, also need extra bright light!) There is a small step down to one room that is unexpected and needs to be more clearly marked, for peeps who don't expect things like this without warning. No drying radiator in the bathroom either, so for towels etc, you have to put them up on balcony, but it faces North so drying stuff is not easy.

very spacious balcony...2 bed suite suitable for family.. kitchen area good...sea view excellent
