Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent
"This home is 5 star and will not disappoint. We had two rooms with hot tub. We also had breakfast buffet daily. We went to the spa twice and highly recommend using spa services. We did not eat dinner in the hotel b/c there are so many good options seaside or in the old town. Overall staff were exceptionally friendly, and the location of the hotel is amazing. It was easy to get sun chairs...and the beach access if very close (short walk 1-2 min). The hotel has many small restaurants nearby, if we want to stay local. The old town is a 30 min walk, but you can either walk on the beach to get there or past numerous restaurants and shops. It's a fun walk. If you want to take taxi, it is easy to get taxi and fee will be 8E. We had such a fun time and will come back next year. Cannot say anything negative about this property."

"I had a wonderful one night stay here. Right on the port, short enjoyable walk to pretty much any place in town although I mostly explored the immediate area and enjoyed a lovely sunset at the light house. I stayed in a standard double room, super clean and comfortable! The balcony, although side street facing, had a gorgeous partial view of the port and the sea. Five star service and really nice breakfast with lots of buffet options (they also have menu items for fee but there was no need in my opinion, the buffet food was all fresh and tasty! And the coffee made to order and yummy). Last but not least parking made my stay much more convenient and hassle free. Would stay here in the future :)"

10/10 Excellent
"I looked forward to this review 7 nights stay #5017 -Hotel overall beautiful. Extremely well done. Modern and peaceful. -Beach is beautiful (mostly on rocky outcrops with a sandy area as well, stunning water) -Room, Superior Suite was perfect, very luxurious for two people. Private pool -Breakfast: inclu,exemplary. Even when tired I would get up to go. Closes 11am, classy to give us that extra half/full hour comparatively. Chef Michael came to ‘help’ me first morning as he saw I was somewhat overwhelmed. It’s complete, regardless of where you come from. They have it all and it’s fantastic. I went nuts for the croissants. Better than Paris. We sat inside Emanuela’s section daily. Warm welcomes from Antonia as well. -Staff: even with a perfect structure and location, this hotel stands out because of its staff. I travel quite a bit, this young staff is a crown jewel of Marriott. From greeting to the time we left they were impeccable. Charming, courteous, welcoming, yet very professional, never got a ‘we can’t’ Front desk Alex (mostly interacted with the moustached one, other one great 2) accommodated anything I could ask. Small Ex: room serviced a cheese platter, realized there’s no bread included, called front desk and asked ‘for a small piece of bread and honey, happy to pay for it’. No no no Sir, it’s our pleasure and there will be no fees. They warmed it up, delivered a beautiful loaf Can’t remember all the names, truly great staff Bravo Marriott for this one"

Corinna Mare

Corinna Mare

10/10 Excellent
"For starters the staff at Corinna Mare is exceptional - they really look after you and take care of you and best of all super genuine and polite and nice! The property is always well maintained, the beach is literally in their backyard and the dual pools is bonus. One thing you must do is have dinner there - I promise you it is so worth it if you have dorado fish - chefs kiss! The roof we had near the front adjacent to the gate and it had two balconies - one in the bedroom and one in the kitchenette/living space. Used them both at night and it’s such a peaceful treat to have after a long day of excursions and driving. I would definitely come back and stay - I don’t have anything negative to really say here. They even do your laundry for a small fee! Excellent job Corinna Mare team!"
