In Our Opinion
‘This Grecotel Hotel offers the relaxed atmosphere of an island village, yet with the modern amenities of a luxury resort. A great option for families, providing dedicated kids clubs and child-friendly dining.’
Open on select days for dinner, this unique culinary experience promises succulent seafood and Mediterranean flavours in the al fresco dining area by the pool. There's a signature fresh fish menu, as well as vegan, veggie and gluten free options.
Relax on one of the lounges and terraces as you sip on a cocktail, coffee or local herbal tea and admire sunset views. Open daily in the evening.
Sip a cool drink or tuck into a light meal by the poolside. Confetti Pool Lounges offer an assortment of delicious Greek and International lunches, snacks, sandwiches, and farm-fresh salads created using produce from the Agreco Farm. Little guests can enjoy excellent ice creams, fresh juices, and smoothies, alongside dedicated children's menus. Open for pool service from mid-morning until early evening, and for lunch service in the afternoon.
On a 40-hectare estate near Rethymno, the resort’s traditional farm offers an insight into the organic production of the island’s healthy food and uses centuries-old farming methods. Open on select days and seasonally. Reservations required.
