though you are expected to buy something from the bars that run them - a frappe a bottle of water is fine.

It is a pleasure to sit and have a drink and relax at the bar with plenty of laughs.

The breakfast was amazing, there was lots to choose from and it was served fresh to you every morning, also the hotel bar was very reasonably priced and they would order you takeout if you fancied a snack in the day or evening.

What a wonderful place to stay great family who own and run it great food and drink great location the apartments are spacious with all amenities a great club house restaurant bar and pool 15 minutes walk from the busy sadiri strip and beaches my stay was perfect and I will be back.

Fab pool, beautiful beach within walking distance 5mins from hotel, with a great range of shops, restaurants and bars.

The hotel pool bar is open all day, and the pool is warm all day.

On arrival we were shown our rooms and greeted with a free drink at the bar!

Always laughter at the Bar which always seemed to be open for all sorts of refreshments.

We ate once and then chose to enjoy a breakfast in the YOLO coffee bar a few minutes down the road daily which was delicious.

Resort had plenty of excellent restaurants to eat out at, and bars we found a few places to get large mythos for 2.50 euros

It seems to be that these are apartments are visited by regular customers who enjoy there time here.The bar is open till late so that’s a bonus!.

It is a friendly hotel in every way, great rooms, nice pool, fantastic pool bar.

You can always cool off in the bar area if it get too much!

The main reception and pool/ bar area is clean. 2.

Nikos and Kostas were so  friendly and there was always a good atmosphere in the bar.

Perfect location for bars and restaurants or about a 10 min taxi ride to reth town for some amazing nightlife!

Moving on we paid for the air con at €5 euro a night and also used the room safe for free, there is a room tax to pay which is charged at 50 cents per day.

not great when you have young children..Air conditioning is charged at 5 Euros a day which it doesn’t state on the website that this isn’t in with the room rate

However is quick to charge you the room tax on leaving.

Air conditioning was available at an extra charge and for the week we stayed it was very much required.

Nikos even tried to charge my phone for me when my own charger failed.

but I found it very greasy toast with margarine instead of butter and pricey for € 8 .local English breakfast with fresh orange toast and butter is €6
The Greek night for €13 was good  but I found the request to applaud  mama & papa for cooking  etc ridiculous they are basically doing what we had paid for .We had the same request on the buffet night @ €8 which was not really my thing 3 games of bingo at €2.50 each  terrible karaoke ,play your cards right.

but for an additional daily charge I understand it could be on 24hrs.

Although we didn't take part (too tired), the people in the bar were playing a game of "Play Your Cards Right" and seemed to be having a good time. However.

Ask for a room at the back on the top 2 floors, the ones at the front would be v noisy and they charge you 20 euros to move.

although they charge you €4.50 a day for these and if there are two in your apartment like ours €9 a day soon adds up!

We paid the €4.50 a day charge for air con so at night we could close the balcony doors.

As a tip many of the restaurants seemed to want to take cash instead of credit card-a sign of the economic pressures that dominate greece at the moment.

The much talked about ‘Greek night’ on a Wednesday was charged at 13€ per adult and 8€ (I think) for children, we thought this was a bit expensive,

We have spent hours here on rainy days as they have a stock of board games,cards,dominos and all the electronic games that kids cannot do without.

the doors slam and it echoes all over so when people came in late at night shouting and slamming doors it woke me up.

There are people with small children and then others that come back late was woken up early morning or late at night by people banging doors and being loud.

but these points I’ve said need bring up to STANDARD if they want to keep business coming through the door

The smell of sewage just hits you in the face when you open the door from the drains in the floor.

I emailed prior to arriving asking for a quiet room, high floor with seaview and although I did not receive a response, we were allocated a room on the 2nd floor with a tiny side glimpse of the sea and a full balcony view of the rear doors of the appartment block in front, so I was a bit disappointed,

up til about midnight even with the doors shut so if you want a quieter room get one facing the beach (which is literally 50m away).

With the patio doors closed we didnt get any disturbance from passing traffic, which dies down in the evening, neither did we get any disturbance from the music in the bar area, which finishes around 2am.

but two wasps nests that were very much active and left multiple dead wasps right by the balcony door for us to tread on.

There was noise from the pool and road with the doors open

We even had need for a doctor and within 10 minutes of enquiring at the bar a doctor was at the room door.

Our room was in the basement, with no windows, just patio doors leading out onto a small space which was below road level.

The patio door handle was already broken when we arrived.

but next to the reception were the loud noise from drunk and inconsiderate guests coming in from the bar at gone 2pm was just as bad, as was the noise from kids dropping snooker balls on the tiled floor in the games room next door until about the same time.

After complaining to the member of staff about the noise we were advised to shut double glazed doors,

Roomy balcony with clothes airier (no need for towels thrown over balcony- pet hate of 
Sliding glass door, sliding shutters didn't need air con

But as soon as we walked through the front door to be greeted by the family my opinion changed.

Coming in at 2am, talking loudly on the echoey corridors, SLAMMING doors.

but not eradicating it was to close all the doors and windows which made it unbearably hot.They did have air conditioning which cost 4 Euros a night but was advised by a member of the staff not to bother as it was noisy.We already had enough noise so had to sweat it out.

On the last two mornings of our holiday, we were woken at about 6am with the emergency generator - which seemed to be next door - kicking into action due to power cuts.

We hired a car for one day - same price for 4 adults on a Happy train excursion - and visited the monastery of Arkadi - which was interesting and picturesque, the 'pottery' village as well as other pretty villages and the pretty bays at Panormo for an afternoon swim.

Breakfast was ok, coffee poor, cereal horrible.

but this wasn’t always available on a couple of occasions had to go elsewhere or the poor person on the bar went and fetched some food from another restaurant!

My sleep quality was poor due to barking dogs, one sheet on a mattress that I kept wrestling with, there is no mattress protector and a pillow which had no substance ( you can ask for more, they come flat packed)

We arrived at 1am and had a great welcome as other reviews have said, a free drink and Kosta and Nicos introduction.

Also I had a poor cocktail in a bar 'El Greco' I think it was.

These apartments are poor to fair at the very most!

We only had one poor meal in all the time we were there.

Room was spacious, clean and house keeping staff changed the bins and bed linen regularly. The only criticism about the room was the shower, very poor shower as attachment was broken and the shower head needed to be held (big deal?)

Previous guests appeared to receive preferential treatment .The bar at night was noisy, leading to complaints from other guests with young children.Overall,we were disappointed, the apartments were nice, the resort area basic, the beach was poor.

I have recently returned from a fortnight's holiday at the Christina and must say the standard of the apartments and location is very poor.

We had a lovely Greek evening with music and dancing The food cooked on the BBQ was delicious especially Grandma’s burgers 15 euro pp
The many restaurants close by serving good food  reasonably priced
Bus stop 10 meters from Hotel tickets purchased in Supermarket.

Plenty of cafes and places to eat nearby to ☺️

I particularly recommend the Dionysus across the Road where you can get excellent Greek food for less than 10 euros per head.

Lots of restaurants local and 15 mins into the town centre.

Lovely rooms food and very friendly staff.

The hotel is a great location for the local restaurants and the beach is a 2 min walk away.

but make sure your hungry as its BIG and the best meal we had 
i can recommend these apartments and the staff are amazing the owners are very friendly and make you very welcome

The entertainment was great, food was tasty and lovely clean fresh accommodation.

Loved the family food nights they were great.

curry night, Chinese night, liver casserole, shepherds pie, pork crackling roast dinner, bingo and quiz nights.

All shops supermarkets and restaurants we went in were friendly and we had didn’t have a bad meal.

Beach 5 mins away and so many lovely restaurants in walking distance and also only a 10 mins ish bus journey into Rethymnon.Thank you all so much!

Rhythmno town is a drive or bus away and definitely worth a visit some lovely restaurants.

but still very nice, lots of shops and restaurants.

I highly recommend the greek night with bbq and dancing, we had a really enjoyable evening and the entertainment was top notch, and the food was fantastic!!

We ate at Remember,  White Lady and have the away from Mr Gyros and Bakery all 5star.

We ate at the Dionysis taverna opposite the hotel a few times and thought the food there was good.

Overall we would not recommend this hotel and have put in a formal complaint to our tour operator and a safety report concern.

Air con is 4.5 Euros per night ( didnt have it so cant comment) and Safety Deposit Box is 15 euros for 2 weeks.

We got a safety deposit box priced at €15.

Safety deposit box was 15 euro for 2 weeks.

We had a studio which was ample for our needs maid service was ok only criticism was toilet bins could have been emptied more frequently,  aircon 6pm to 9am for 4.50 euros a day sorted safety deposit box if needed available.

You could also rent a safety deposit box in the room for 15 euros for the duration of our stay.

Our self catering accommodation was typically Greek in style and layout - Two single beds separated by a bedside table, dressing table, wardrobe, fridge, 2 ring electric hob & safety deposit box, oh and the obligatory tiny shower which we think is quite quaint.

Air con is 4 euro a night and Safety deposit box just 10 euro!

We visited Christina Hotel 6th-13th Sept party of 6 with 3 rooms
We were greeted late straight off the coach and shown to our room, they were spacious modern very clean with large fridge and kettle rooms  TV with remote control Rooms cleaned every day except Sunday  free security safe.

Christina, Kostas and Nicos helped by their daughters neices and nephew are friendly and cheerful and always helpful.

Hosts Nickos and Kostas and their families cant genuinely do enough for you and now feel part of our family.

We booked this holiday 2years ago and due to covid was cancelled each time ,so with much anticipation we arrived on the 29th May ,it was very clear on arrival that the family run business was very well run, very friendly welcome from  the owners,rooms are well equipped for your  needs,warm and pleasant ,clean and comfortable beds .

Definitely recommend this friendly, homely and welcoming hotel to everyone

The owners and staff cannot do enough for you.

We would like to thank Christina, Kostas,  Nicos and family for making us so welcome and always being so helpful.

I really can’t emphasis how well this hotel is run and how lovely the owners are.

The staff were so lovely and helpful, they would go out of their way to help you in any possible way.

What a lovely warm, friendly and welcoming family.

Would just like to say a massive thank you to Christina, Nikos and the lovely staff for looking after us so well.

It was great Hotel owner very helpful and friendly location is handy buses every 15 min and 20 min going to town very near in shops beaches are 5min walks beautiful places as well very clean rooms toilets shower is big fantastic recommended thumps up👍

The hotel/apartments were, on the whole, good and the Greek owners were friendly enough.

Staff were friendly, and great with the kids.

Again had to ask for loan of one  staff were friendly with regular clients they knew.

The location is great, beach on your doorstep and only a 20 minute bus ride into the old town.

The beach and town were all on hand and there were lots of trips available so there was always something to do.

The old town is very accessible, it’s about a 20min bus journey and the bus stop is right outside the hotel.

The buses into Rethymno town were regular (remember to buy a ticket at the hotel or local shop before boarding) and an evening in the town/harbour is a must.

Taxis to the main town were a 10 min drive and cost 10 euro each way.

Rethymnon old town is beautiful and not too far away (taxi or car not walking).

Local buses are okay visited rethymnon town beautiful the old part and harbour, also went to Bali beach not far away which was lovely.

but you can purchase bus tickets from the bar cheap, and worth a visit to the Old Town.

Went and visited the old town a few times and found a rock bar and Mojos which does fab burgers would definitely recommend.

but didn’t like it as big rocks in sea but ok for sun bathing, best beaches is the one in town by harbour & sea is great & no rocks at all, 10 Euro for 2 beds & brolly, also Baja beach it’s about 30min walk or 7 mins on bus, 12euros there & they supply a towel each & bottle of water but the sun beds are so soft, lovely restaurant across road I think it’s called dingo or something like that but very good prices, drinks are a bit dearer at Christina’s than restaurants, all in all it was a pleasant holiday but probably wouldn’t go back.

Nice holiday nice very friendly  the beach was 5 mins away from the hotels
The food was great went around some part of Greece was very nice the weather went to old town that was nice the market was cheep I would go again

We ate at a restaurant called cavo one night which is just outside of town, we took the bus into town then got a taxi to cavo which was €5 each way.

A half hourly bus took you down the to historical town of  Rethymnon which is a must for anyone staying in the area with its huge once a week market and amazing shops, cafes and harbour area.

Expensive beer and drinks compared to the town.

There is a short walk into town, 10 -20 minutes.

The town is very interesting, with museums, plenty of real Cretan bars and restaurants to visit, very generous people and plenty to see and in the surrounding area.

Bathroom so small you could touch from the side of shower wall to door in bathroom.

but the walls around are pretty high and we didn't feel as though we were being watched by passers-by.

Our bathroom still had soap on the wall, hair on the floor and toilet seat as well as half used shower gel from the guests before us.

We had a rear Studio ground floor with balcony and with a view of a bit of overgrown shrubbery and the wall of another building.

but would not have wanted a front pool view room as they overlook the road and are noisy, or a rear room below ours as they look onto a wall with no side views.

but the kettle and toaster were on the table with the microwave above it on the wall, because there was no work surface next to the cooker/sink area which were on the other side of the room, just outside the bedroom next to the bathroom.

The walls are bumped and bashed, black marks on the walls which are probably previous insect kills.

but due to the building design of high ceilings, hard floors, and relatively thin walls then some sounds do carry and if you can't stand the sounds of other people's existence then maybe you should look elsewhere ;) !

It turned out to be a basement apartment facing the wall and with a main waste pipe put in a sewage hole covered with dirty rags located in 2 meters from the bedroom window.

also above the sink was a hole in the wall which they had covered with a paper poster!

The room was musty, the bathroom not at all appealing and the view was a blank wall.

We had a ground floor apartment at the rear of the building and out view was a wall of an adjacent block.

There are also so great restaurants and bars up in the hills which you wouldn't be able to access without a car.

You can buy drinks from the reception bar

The Villas have wonderful view, clean and comfortable rooms, private pool, private parking, free WiFi, peaceful atmosphere, nice bar and a beautiful garden with playground.

Wifi internet is available ,fast and free of charge.Coverage is good specialy at the garden's bar and close to each villa's swimming pool.

katerina is very friendly and she serves the breakfast as well as she serves also drinks in the evening in the bar in the garden.

The shower was hot and had great pressure, the bed was so comfortable and a great size.

There was also a downstairs toilet with shower that saved going upstairs all the time.

The villas are very modern, clean and have all the amenities you can think of. The grounds are  fantastic for children with many attractions (slides, ping pong table etc.)

And the second bedroom is practically a tiny extension of the master bedroom with just a set of pull-out single beds leaving no space even to open the door.

We like hard beds, this was a bit to much.

Only 1 downside - the beds are a little stiff.

A minus is the beds - terrible stif and uncomfortable

Different because it is not a resort, it has no activities as such, no massive pool, no huge buffets.

Nearby are the amazing monastery of arkadi and also the Archaeological site of Elutherna which is still revealing its Archaic  secrets from 900 BCE.

The kitchen, fridge and cooker were spotless, well equipped for a quick lunch,

We tended to drive down, park up and enjoy the beach, bars, restaurants and play areas.

)The manager was ready to offer us a complimentary dinner for the 3 of us just to make up for the mistake
breakfast was nice varied and with a different cooked cretan specialities every day.

Rethymno town is about 20 minutes drive and we had dinner there on two occasions in the old part of town which is very lively and full of excellent tavernas as well as the sprawling ancient 16th century citadel.

We booked breakfast at the restaurant, which was very nice -

We had 2 bottles of water and small bottle of Raki (local Greek alcohol) in our villa when we arrived which was a nice treat.

Room service everyday including cleaning of the pool.

The food is fantastic, the villas are lovely and clean, the beautiful little private pools are perfect for a quick dip.

but if you've become used to the particular standards of chains, it's going to be a challenge for you 

Positives:

+ individual approach to each visitor
+ big, well equipped apartments
+ daily checking of the private swimming pool, so it’s always pure and clean
+ tasty food
+ daily washing and changing towels (including beach towels)
+ very friendly, helpful and nice people – everyone.

The taste of the decoration, the cleaningness, the food, everything is close to perfection.

Very modern well kept stunning villas, owners very helpful, the restaurant on site was fabulous and they even delivered the meal to our room as our friends has a small baby who was sleeping.

One night we chose to have a dinner in the hotel's restaurant which is also a very good choice (nice food / good prices).

although we chose to eat breakfast and several dinners at the hotel, highly recommend :)
The villas was practical with good cleaning.

The villas were comfortable and clean, the owners and the staff were great, and the food in the resturant was very good.

At carme villas you have the perfect combination of your own private house in which you can cook and do your own things and also to get to know others at the community places like the playground and the restaurant.

On the last evening we ate a very good dinner in the Carme Villas restaurant,expecially I miss super good tsaziki and dolmades which have been made zucchiniflowers,yammy!!

however nothing was too much for the staff, we had a great dinner and one night stay here.

but there are many many tavernas in the local town and Rethymno.

though close enough to town
- Upscale
- Enough parking space, even close to your own villa where you can park your mandatory car.

The only problem we encountered was cold water for washing dishes,

I sincerely hoped after a good night's sleep I would feel differently about my surroundings.

The rooms and facilities are clean, well equipped and blend in with the environment.

The villas are traditional stone and have been furnished in a quirky serialist style which is really appealing and different, the kitchen has all mod cons and so far the lovely owner has served us a Greek traditional breakfast both mornings.

Architecturally very tastefully done with great views of the Lampini countryside.

The villa we had was clean, perfectly presented, beautifully furnished, fully equipped and really comfortable with a perfect suntrap outside.

but is very comfy, very cosy and the interior design has a footprint on rustic and charmy themes.

The buildings of the Villa are wonderfully restored stone structures that surround 3 lovely pools, all of this set on a steep hill with nice landscaping in the compound and olive trees covering the hills around the compound.

The villa is decorated with many eye catching details, very nice paintings are on the walls.

The villa was 150 square metres and had also 3 rooms, each with a different decoration with antique furniture and its own bathroom (tottaly 4).

Alas in the roof above my bedroom I heard rodents scratching and chewing all night and to top it all, frustrated screeching cats scrambling back and forth over the loose tiles trying to get at them, for most of the night! I am sad to give this review as my hostess (and her sons?)

but hey,why do you need a beach when you have 3 pools between 20 people (and so far it has only been us by the pool this week) so our 18 year old daughters are in heaven as all there is to do here is get a tan and eat fantastic food what more could you ask for.

To top off the whole experience, we were brought breakfast EVERY DAY by the owner Olga, who even cooked a traditional meal for us one evening.

Excellently maintained by George and his team.

The hosts are generous and well understanding and what you get for the money exceeds our expectations.

I genuinely recommend a trip to Aoritis – you will not be disappointed.

The place is fully equipped, clean and very spacious, the view from every room is breathtaking, and the service and attentiveness George (the owner) provided us were absolutely fantastic.

It seemed as if we might be the last patrons of the year since the apparent owner in residence was headed out to Athens to visit family after we left.

All the meal was made by owners and for free.

We stayd there from 15 to 20 July and we loved this perfect little paradise: the owners, Olga and Jorgos, are very nice people, every day we've found a very good breakfast given by them like a present.

The owners Olga and George bring home made breakfast every day and are very kind and helpful.

To summarise, beautiful traditional secluded villas - (you will need a car as nearest town is 10 mins away), perfect views, the only noises you can here from the garden are chickens, crickets & goats.

The nearby town of Spili has plenty of tavernas, coffee shops and supermarkets - good beaches are about 30 minutes drive away.

A km or so up that road you come to the little town of Lampini with a fork in the road and the church straight ahead of you.

The villas are set up a mountain side with amazing views, about 1.5h drive from either airport.

The 2 bed villa we have has fantastic views over the valley and we get the sun from 6 till 6 so if you want to you can sit outside your villa in the sun for 12 hours and drink wine all day or walk 10 meters to one of the 3 pools.
