Aegean Pearl

We had the most amazing time at the Aegean Pearl. Beautiful hotel in a great location right next to the beach. Staff were amazing and super friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. Plenty of wardrobe space. A good 40 minute walk into the centre of Rethymnon. But plenty of bars and restaurants near by. The only fault we had was the mosquitos. There's is loads of them and I ended up with 232 bites. I do recommend getting a repellent and plug in for the room

We’ve just came back from another trip to Rethmyno after visiting in September last year and also back to the Aegean Pearl! We don’t normally visit the same place twice but knew the hotel was in a good location (a 30 minute wander along the beach road to the centre with plenty of bars, tavernas and shops along the way) The room was a decent size although the open plan bathroom and toilet without a lock does take some getting used to. We had a small balcony with a side sea view which was nice, the beds are comfy and lots of plugs sockets, storage, mirrors and decent lighting. We enjoyed a couple of relaxed days by the pool and the beach but the pool is very cold so be mindful of this! The food was different this time round and despite being quite fussy and only eating fish/vegetarian we found plenty to eat when we ate dinner at the hotel and breakfast is always very good - we loved the bougatsa. Also visited Resmo which is based in the Seabreeze apartments opposite and the food there was perfect. The entertainment was good (definitely recommend the night walking tour!) and Tassos and Manousos keep the energy going after dark. We did feel other guests were more sociable this time which also helped - without it being rowdy it’s a very relaxed place. Of course we need to mention Anna and Popi from the restaurant - we love them!

As most comments Lovely hotel, location great, pool small but needed when hot. The write up states an A la Cart restaurant by jet2 but only self serve breakfast and evening meal. Food ok but not great. Luck warm after 8am and nothing special. The day time menu is again ok but not great, but walk a few yards and some lovely Taverns with great food and drinks (and not over priced as they are at Aegean Pearl) A petty issue but I ordered a beer and when arrived well below the 0.5cl so I asked for it to be topped, but then was shouted at by a female waitress not sure what she said but very rude, with bobbed hair, so embarrassing and I was very polite with my request. Rooms dated but great Very dated rooms but comfy beds and great a/c. Also not shown in photos is the Pearl beach that shares the facilities (pools and lunch time restaurant) which should be outlined in the hotel description Claims a 5 star hotel but would give3 star

A beautiful hotel ideal for couples and families with older children. Friendly and welcoming staff , lovely clean rooms with great air conditioning. Situated a stones throw from a lovely beach with its own section of sun beds free to use for hotel visitors . Waiter service on the beach if you need this , provided by a really lovely lady on hand to help she is so efficient and friendly. Highly recommend this lovely hotel and will definitely visit here again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at Aegean Pearl in Rethymno. The hotel was very clean, the food was tasty and fresh, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. A special mention goes to Mrs. Popi who works at the restaurant – she was absolutely amazing! So kind, polite, helpful and sweet – she really made our meals extra enjoyable. The hotel’s location is excellent, right in front of the beach and close to everything you might need – shops, cafés, and other services are all just a short walk away. We would definitely love to come back!

An extremely nice place with super services, friendly staff, all the facilities I imagined I would need. Comfortable and clean room with balcony, air conditioning, TV, safe, coffee machine, bath tub, etc. Various trips and activities available at the lobby office. The overall atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. Nice program every night at the hotel's terrace. The lovely beach included sun benches and umbrellas, beach towels, bar and snacks services. Warm sea water but quite high waves in some of the days. Nice and clean swimming pools are also available.
