    Unfortunately we did not like the hotel. The balcony was nice and had a nice view.

    Unfortunately, our stay didn’t quite meet expectations. The room was quite outdated and in need of renovation. The beds were uncomfortable, and when we asked for extra pillows, we were told there were none available. The toilet and shower area was also very cramped. The pool did not feel well maintained, there was a green residue around the upper edges of the pool wall, making it look uninviting and not particularly clean. Additionally, the owner asked us not to enter the pool if we had sunscreen on, which felt like an odd request for a summer holiday destination. The beach in front of the hotel was also disappointing and not suitable for swimming or relaxing. Overall, the facilities felt tired. With some investment in maintenance, hospitality, and basic guest comfort (like providing extra pillows), the place could improve significantly. It would also be helpful if the hotel shared some real, up-to-date photos of the beach directly in front of the property so that future guests know what to realistically expect.

    Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the condition of the rooms, comfort, pool maintenance, and beach access have been carefully noted. We take such feedback very seriously as it helps us understand where improvements are needed. However: - When you arrived you immediately asked us for 3 extra pillows. Immediately we offered you another two pillows. As a result you had 5 pillows inside the apartment. (for 2 persons). - The pool is cleaned every day! This mark around the upper walls side is made from a reaction of the sunlight and the pool liner. Here are some of the recent comments of our guests regarding the swimming pool maintenance. "La piscine est propre et tres agreable" "The pool is really convenient with kids, and absolutely clean!" "Die Unterkunft ist sehr gepflegt und der Pool ist einfach fantastisch" - You asked us for a second key and we provided to you. - You asked for everyday cleaning the apartment and we provided to you. The beach is natural and change due to weather conditions! However our photos are from May of 2025 and you can read the reviews of other guests for the beach ⛱️. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the balcony and its view ( you had an apartment with 2 balconies) one with garden view and the other one with partial sea view! The same apartment has received excellent reviews from other guests. Kind regards Almyra Apartments &Suites

    The toilet is not good: the shower has no hang, and it's not possible to throw the toilet paper in the water. This is not written in the apartment description. The bedroom has a double bed with two single sheets and two children's pillows. In Crete you can get a better accomodation for the same price.

    Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to kindly clarify that in Greece, and in many Mediterranean countries, the sewage systems are not designed to handle paper waste being flushed down the toilet. For this reason, it is standard practice to dispose of toilet paper in the bin provided next to the toilet. We understand that this may feel unusual to guests visiting from abroad, but it is an important measure to ensure the smooth operation of the facilities for everyone’s comfort. We always do our best to inform our guests about local practices, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a more enjoyable stay. Kind regards, Almyra Apartments & Suites

    We really liked the private, clean, quiet and mostly sandy mini-beach that is just next to the property (just next the the long common beach). No need for special shoes or anything, really great! We had two apartments and from bot of them a nice view of the sea. The terrace is shaded in the morning, it is really nice for a breakfast! Also everything is really near - shop, restaurant, bus stop, car rental etc. The pool is really convenient with kids, and absolutely clean!

    Great location, a short walk to the beach, to the supermarket and to a few restaurants. Plus a nice pool.

    Mosquitoes- can’t be totally avoided but if recommend installing screens so guests can enjoy the balcony and open windows in the evenings. Another thing- would be helpful to have more countertops in the kitchenette as the space is tiny for meal prep.

    Thank you very much for your constructive review. We will be very happy to host you again in the future!

    Andreas was a very helpful and very friendly host. The pool area was very clean and well maintained with good furniture. The apartment roof terrace was a great area for eating, drinking, sunbathing- and the rooms were a good size. Short walk to restaurants, supermarket, beach and bus stop Would definitely recommend Almyra for a great chilled holiday!

    The furniture / fixtures in the apartment could do with upgrading but no problem for length of stay. Would also recommend including air con in price of booking for ease.

    Almyra apartments are located in an ideal location for visiting the most beautiful beaches on the island. They are very nice, quiet, they clean and change the bedding every 2-3 days. Excellent price-quality ratio. For every recommendation

    + I loved the apartment we got - we had our own rooftop with an amazing view on the sea and sunset 😍 + I loved the pool , very nice with stairs walking in and a good size. Also the whole area they really made nice with plenty of lounge chairs in the shade, a hammock and a cute swing sofa. + owner was very friendly + right behind the ocean 🌊! + perfectly located 10 min from Rethimno and close to visit nice beaches and lake kournas (tip!)

    - the only thing is that it’s by a bit of a busy road so you hear quite a lot of traffic , but everything else was so nice it bothered me a lot less than it normally would have

    Thank you 😊 But you really can't have it all! Most of our guests see the positive side of our location! + easy access to the highway with your car. + strategic place just in the middle of the island if you want to travel east or west. + bus stop just outside of Almyra Apartments entrance.

    Swimming pool, balcony with sea view.

    Mosquitoes, but this was not Almyra's fault, I believe all the similar accommodations in the area will have the same issue. Bathroom was okay, but can be improved.

    Very nice building complex, well maintained. We arrived with extra person and the owner let her stay, as long as we manage. Appreciate that. Roof terrace was nice.

    Very basic. Bathroom and kitchen needs some deep cleaning. Also, kitchen needs some more utensils, glasses etc. Air conditioning was only available in the bedrooms, only with doors closed so the kitchen and sitting area were very hot. Pool was nice but closed by 7:30 pm. Beach is very close, but has tons of sea weeds.

    Property response:

    Dear Sir, This is totally unfair for us.. - You "appreciate that" you broke our policy and rules and just inform me at the time of check in that an extra person is with you?! Do you understand that if we wanted we just could not accept your booking, and then you had to find another place to stay and in the late july days? and you give a score 5 for staff? - Our score for cleaning is 9,2 and are you talking about cleaning when you destroyed 3 towels with suncream and dirt? - we provided you with an extra fan for the kitchen area just to be more comfortable but you forgot to mention. Simply, these attitudes lead me to be exclusively as entrepreneur and not to act contrary to my interest.

    The roof top terrace was a nice bonus.
