Adele Beach Hotel

Well, we've been back home in less than 8 hours so immediately felt obliged to submit this positive review at the earliest opportunity. What can we say having just spent the last 6 days at the Adele Beach Hotel centrally located just outside the town of Rethimno and on the north coast of Crete. The hotel is around a 70 minutes car/bus transfer journey (one way) from Chania Airport, but the journey is worth the time and effort when you eventually reach the hotel. The Adele Beach Hotel is ideally located with a 25 minutes bus (number 20) journey/ride away from the nearest historic town of Rethimno which literally has something to offer everyone but just remember to purchase bus tickets in advance from all local stores and shops at 2 euro per trip. The Adele Beach Hotel is centrally located near to the main high road with numerous bars, ATM's, supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants and activity venues along with a pharmacy, hire car centres and a medical centre. The hotel is set back and away from the main road so there are no noise or pollution issues. As for the Adele Beach Hotel itself...WOW! The hotel is shown as 4 star and they certainly deserve that rating. From the moment we arrived - staff were truly professional, smartly dressed, approachable, friendly, informative, accommodating, ready to assist and help to exceed all levels of customer service to ensure every single guests stay expectation were met. The facilities on site and in the rooms are extremely modern, clean and impressively maintained. For us we loved the room shower facility. There is one large pool with it's own pool bar and free sunbed access around the large pool area and on the private beach. The selection of food is local Greek cuisine meets European and west. Strongly recommend you go fully inclusive with breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner which are served throughout the day and evening at sets times so you'll never go hungry or thirsty. During our stay in Oct there was no evening entertainment at the hotel but there is an idyllic evening bar where guests played board games and playing cards to be utilised at your leisure. So in a nutshell...would we stay at the Adele Beach Hotel again in the future....100% yes! If you're toying with the idea to visit Crete in 2026 then seriously consider reviewing their website and book your accommodation asap. As for all the staff from us - a HUGE thank you again and enjoy your well deserved rest during the winter months and all the best in 2026!
