Great location
Great location across from beach. 7eur taxi ride from bus station if u don't want to walk. Big rooms with balcony looking out to road and beach. Old town is mins away and either directions leaving hotel you will find lots and lots of tavernas. The host was very helpful in arranging a taxi for us for early departure to Heraklion to catch ferry since Ktel bus ride was cutting it close. Although bus ride is much cheaper and coach is really comfortable it costs 80eur by taxi for about 1:10mins instead of 1:30by bus for under 10eur. We didn't want to take any chances with ferry departing at 8am out of Heraklion. Highly recommend hotel for short stay...great value and location.

I really enjoyed our stay at Aquamarina. It is in a wonderful location. It is just across the street from a very nice beach with access to water sports. It is also very close to old city of Rethymno. There is a wonderful little bakery right next-door and a market close by. I wish we had stayed at this hotel longer. Will definitely plan to stay here when I return again

Nice clean Hotel
I was staying at the hotel whilst getting a boat ready. So for me the location couldn't be better The bed was comfortable the room was tidy. One problem that might upset guests is the noise from the road I was on the first floor At night the local boy racers like to use the sea front .but this would be the same for all the hotels along the front, some I exspect you would pay a lot more for..but a part from that a pleasant stay.

Lovely Apartment with Sea views
We stayed 5 nights at Aqua Marina at the end of October into early November. The position overlooking the sea was great. The room was a little tired but light and spacious, though the bathroom was tight. The kitchenette was very useful and the bed comfortable. The wifi was good and the staff, though there only till 3:00pm each day, were very courteous and helpful. We arrived after the staff had left for the day, but our apartment key was waiting for us. The location, being about 1 kilometre out of Rethymno town was quiet and it was a flat pleasant walk into town. We found it convenient to be located between Chania and Heraklion. The only downside was that many of the restaurants and operators in the area, closed down on 1 November for the winter season! We had been unaware of this. Rethymno is a picturesque town, with a quaint Venetian harbour and a character filled old town.

Nice stay in Crete
I wanted a room near the marina. The hotel was in an excellent position for that. The beach which was just across the road looked very nice but as it was November I did not go swimming. The room was very clean and nicely kept even though it was out of the main holiday season. The main road in front of the hotel can be a bit noisy but was okay once the balcony doors were shut. I intend to use this place again .It is more of an apartment than a hotel with adequate cooking facilities if needed.There are plenty of places in the vicinity to eat and there was a nice greengrocer`s over the road.

Very comfortable and close to Rethymno centre
The hotel staff were very kind, provided us with an excellent room and were continuously available to help us. The room was large and clean with a comfortable bed and guys facilities for a family. It took only a few minutes to walk into Rethymno and parking was easy to find.

This is not exactly a hotel, but apartments. There is a receptionist here only from 10:00am-2:00pm dailly. Be sure to check in between those times or make arrangements with them ahead of time. There is an emergency number posted by the doorway in case you miss her, but then you will need to wait for the receptionist to return. Otherwise, the local is wonderful, across from a beautiful beach, and many restaurants and shops very nearby. The apartment was very clean and neat. Comes with a cooktop, mini-fridge, and sink in the little kitchen area. Table and chairs also there. Very comfortable bed, I think queen size. Beautiful view from the balcony of the sea and beach. I highly recommend this place unless you are wanted lots of services included. Has good wifi, but only 4 channels on tv.

A good base for beach holiday
We had a perfectly pleasant stay at Aqua Marina. Standard sea view room (they're all seaview), was very adequate. All very clean and tidy although the feeling from the online photos gave us a sense that it would feel a little more 'upmarket' or polished and in reality it was slightly more 'budget' although not much you could put a finger on. Bed very comfortable, adequate kitchenette, lovely balcony with view. The fan switch in the bathroom was falling out of the wall so didnt work and the shower sprayed water all over the bathroom but not huge issues. The reception is also not manned most of the time. We tried texting her a late check out request on the 24/7 cellphone number she gave us but were ignored and she said when we checked out yhe next day that she's tried to call us but I never had a missed message. A nice place to stay that is right next to the beach and perfect for people who won't be spending much time indoors. We had a nice stay all in all.
