Blue Sea Hotel Apartments

Rooms are dark cold especially room 301 smell keeps coming back up toilet complaind 3 times rock hard bed class rattle in door the whole complex needs refurbished shame good staff all inclusive but eat out furniture needs to go on bonfire won't be going back there

TLDR; very cozy and chill beach & pool getaway if you just wanna take it easy in a home like environment. my initial (and final) reaction was that the photos don’t do justice to the place. based on pictures i expected something less nice and more worn out. i agree not everything was brand new and sparkly but overall fine and what you’d expect from a local greek b&b. our apartment was very spacious (50m2?) and in good condition, with a balcony (view of the sea between buildings) and a small modern-ish bathroom. nice kitchen with a table. the hotel is a bit like labyrinth but not in a bad way, it allows every apartment to have its own entrance and balconies that are not next to each other. importantly our apartment was very quiet, we had a good sleep until 11-12am. the aircon is only enough for the bedroom so the rest of the apartment is warm but that was ok for us. the aircon is also quiet. very nice owners, they make you feel like home. even brought a drying rack to our balcony which was useful. the pool temperature in july was around 27-29c, in other words very nice and comfy. u can move the poolside chairs around to get shade under the trees, i enjoyed the peace & quiet, perfect for reading and chilling. wasnt busy in mid july. there is s bit more yard space than shown in the photos. you can get drinks from the bar which is by the reception and enjoy them by the pool. cocktails were 4euros and wine 2 euros per glass. we were supposed to go on excursions but ended up chilling by the pool as it was so easy and relaxing. the beach on the other side of the road is practical too. there are good restaurants and shops nearby, even the highest rated restaurant of a rethymno is 3-4min walk away (Nostos). next door Solti has great brunch/lunch options. the other guests during our stay were Dutch 30-50 yr old couples or families (no small kids). if i must look at negatives as i always do, sure its not dashing new and the pool is small. based on my research tho there are no bigger pools in the area, only more expensive ones and/or ones with very little shade. the old town is a 25min walk so not something to do every day perhaps. still, this is one of my few 5 star places (price-quality ratio considered).

Een heel fijn verblijf. Welke gerund wordt door een zeer gastvrije familie! Geen vraag is te gek, ze denken graag met je mee. Een gezellig binnentuintje met zwembad, waar altijd ligbedjes beschikbaar zijn. Er wordt top schoongemaakt. Je kunt je huurauto er gratis parkeren en je zit direct aan het strand (gescheiden door een weg). Je loopt zo de boulevard op naar het oude centrum van Rethymnon. Kortom zoek je een heerlijk verblijf, dan zit je hier goed.

Dicht bij zee fijn zwembad en heel schoon . Vriendelijke mensen. Het ligt dicht bij de oude stad van Rethymno en is vanuit het appartement ben je in 3 minuten aan het strand. Verder dagelijkse schoonmaak en 3x per week schone lakens en handdoeken

Prachtige zee voor de deur, aardige en behulpzame eigenaar, goede schoonmaak 6x per week, aardig personeel rustig gelegen, klein zwembad, prima om af te koelen, grote supermarkt op loopafstand, superleuk centrum boordevol winkels en restaurants.

We hebben erg genoten van de gastvrijheid van deze familie! Het ontbijt is prima en je hebt genoeg tijd om rustig wakker te worden met uitzicht op zee. De appartementen zijn zeer schoon, ruim en de badkamer is, zeker voor Griekse begrippen, groot. De cocktails zijn ook een grote aanrader en het zwembad is heerlijk! Als we ooit nog terug komen, dan gaan we zeker weer hierheen, dankjewel voor jullie goede zorgen ❤️
