Rethymno Palace ***** is a large complex that sits east of the picturesque town of Rethymno, close to the centre of Platanias and the historic village of Adele. The location is outstanding, enticing guests to lounge under complimentary umbrellas and sunbeds on the golden sandy beach, or around the outdoor swimming pool encircled by lofty palm trees that add a taste of the tropics.
The facilities here are in abundance, including a mini market, souvenir shop, hairdresser, many restaurants, library, and activities like tennis and billiards. Guests can spend time with the family at the children’s playground, or take a quiet moment under the relaxing twinkle of delicate lights in the wellness centre and beauty spa. Why not soothe and unwind any aching muscles in the sauna and hammam, before topping it off with a choice of massage? At this establishment, there’s always something going on, and with evening entertainment and a kids’ club, there’s much to keep the family busy from morning until night, when you can retire to spacious, comfortable bedrooms.
If you can drag yourself away from this idyllic spot, you won’t be disappointed by the surroundings either. With cultural visits, gorgeous views and delicious restaurants aplenty, the area is a destination to be seen, perhaps on bike, hired at the hotel. With plenty to explore both inside the hotel and beyond, your Cretan getaway doesn’t get much better than at Rethymno Palace *****.
