Dedalos Beach Hotel

Breakfast and dinner were included and they were buffett style with so many selections, everything was great. The beach was one of the best in the area, I went in almost everyday and in the pool also. There is a great view of the sea from all seating areas outside and beach walks along the shore are great. There is a market close by and the bus to take you to near towns is also close by. It is a wonderful quiet area yet the town of Rethymno is a short bus ride away. My room was spacious as was the balcony. It was a fabulous relaxing place and all the staff were very nice and helpful.

The only thing I did not care for was that there was a charge for beach loungers and umbrellas as well as towels for the beach. I personally do not like to lay in a chair all day, I like to move around however I would not have minded to use a chair on occasion for a short period.

Super friendly staff! Quite wide range of tasty buffet options. Beautiful flowers all over the building.

There was a disturbing smell of drain from outside.

The location to the beach was great. The water was so warm and clean. I didn’t realize they had breakfast and dinner buffet. Both were very good. Everyone was so kind!

Location, staff, tasty food

For breakfast opened 8pm, could be earlier (6.30-7), at list coffee section.Food was tasty, but could have more barbecue options, traditional grease deserts, like cookies, baklava.

A quiet family vacation, a small hotel on the seashore, very clean grounds and wonderful rooms. Incredible sea views, especially sunsets. Very friendly staff who are always in touch with you.

The only negative point was that you had to pay for water. It would be great if water was included, but you raised the price a little so that people wouldn't be surprised that you have to pay for regular water.

Close to the beach

Room and facilities in need of some repairs. Old bedsheets, once white now looks dirty and grey. Food is poor quality and not tasty at all. We were regretting taking half board, it was waste of money. After couple if days we started eating outside.

Was comfortable and clean

The hotel was ok maybe need some renovations because looks like a oud hotel also the food maybe can be a little bit better because was not lekker and can be also with more options. we have to paid apart the drinks during the dinner… Maybe is better if we paid more in advance but everything is including

Horrible food and area

The hotel describes its location as in Rethymno which is totally wrong, it’s 10km from rethymno, there’s literally nothing to do in the area and you will definitely need a car (it’s located in front of a busy highway so is even dangerous to walk around). We thought it would be amazing being right in front of the beach but getting there we found a very ugly and dirty beach and an “abandoned” beach bar area that made it even more ugly. They charge 8€ for the sunbed and again I’d recommend hire a car and go to a nicer one where you’ll pay the same. The food is very poor, we stayed 7 nights and breakfast and dinner was the same Every Single Day and most of the dishes were definitely leftovers from previous days. Don’t waist your money and runaway from this place, you can find something better!

The hotel offers excellent value for money, surpassing expectations in many areas. The breakfast is decent, with a good variety that changes slightly each day, and the dinner options are impressive, especially the selection of meats, vegetables, salads, and breads. The bar service is also commendable. While the dessert could use significant improvement, it's a humble option that is available for guests.The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, even though the furnishings are a bit dated. Everything in the room was functional, contributing to a comfortable stay.The location is a major advantage, conveniently situated between Heraklion and Chania, making it ideal for those with a rental car. The nearby bus station is also a plus. The hotel’s beach access is fantastic, with a pleasant beach, despite a few rocks in the sand, and offers stunning sunset views.And the staff...amazing!!

The hotel shows its age and could benefit from a renovation to freshen up the facilities. While everything is clean and in good working order, the overall appearance feels outdated. That said, the hotel still offers good value for the money, so while it may not meet high expectations in terms of modernity, it does deliver on basic comfort and cleanliness.

Staff was great - from the reception, to the waiters and cleaners, everyone was very friendly and on point.The beach was just below the hotel, with plenty of space to drop a towel, play with kids, or just chill. The beach bar has everything you might need for a full day.Rooms had firmer beds, which we preferred,, and we slept really well during our stay.We booked a half-board, and it was perfectly fine choice-wise. Don't expect extravagance, but enough good food for both breakfast & dinner.

There was a smell of trash that was piled up near the hotel - not a hotel's problem, but local services should make sure to take the trash more than once a week, especially in season.Also, sunbeds on the beach aren't free of charge for the hotel's guests, but there's a daily charge of 8€ for two sunbeds + umbrella. Weird, but at least they weren't expensive.

Very clean, staff very friendly, beach front very nice beach.

Catering could be better.

Amazing Staff. Everyone let us feel like making Holliday with friends. The Sea was amazing, the breakfast and Dinner gave us a lot of choices. For that price all in all a totally good choice. A big thank you.

We had a wonderful family holiday, 3 rooms, with small children and grandparents. The hotel is not super modern, but clean and you have a feeling you are really welcomed. The people working there are very kind, friendly and helpful. Location is great, the hotel's beach is lovely, 2 sunbeds with umbrella cost 8EUR/day, the beach bar is not overpriced and they serve good food and drinks (staff also really lovely there). Our rooms were cleaned every day with sheets and towels changed every 2 days. Houskeeping ladies were also very kind.Breakfast and dinner is ok, a wide selection of fresh dishes, salads, sweets, maybe a bit boring after a few days, but we always found something and were never hungry. Drinks are not included with dinner, but they are well priced, the terrace overlooking the sea is a wonderful place for having your meals.A shop with everything you would need (including souvenirs and swimming gear) is just around the corner a 2 mins walk.There was always parking on the street around the hotel for our rented cars .

If I have to look for something then it would be the beds maybe - not too comfortable for us.Breakfast and dinner - the variety of dishes was a bit boring but as there are so many, you cant really go hungry.

Very good and tasty breakfast!!! The dinner was overall good! Close to the beach and the sea ! Magic landscape especially the sunset!!! Extremely helpful staff!!!

The room needs a bit of renovation.The signal of the internet sometimes doesn't exist or the wifi internet usually cuts off! We couldn't make a call as there weren't any signals but after the room upgrade, fortunately the wifi internet was good!Also, it would be preferable if some local traditional dances were implemented or some local traditional meals added.

Clean, friendly personal (even if some of them don't speak english), facilities (including pool), position (on the beach)Very good food even if there are not many choises.

Unlike 2 years ago, the staf barely speak english and at reception (ecxept the guy on night shift) they didn't solve my requests, i had to ask 2 or 3 times to be solved. Booking on "Booking" goes wrong, I don't know if was from booking or frome reception (I got the requested room but the no of guests was wrong)

A courteous and attentive service offers a varied breakfast with both sweet and savory options to suit all tastes. With a beachfront location, guests can enjoy breathtaking views at sunrise and sunset, providing a sense of relaxation and peace.

Honestly, you won't know what to indicate

Kindly staff, cleanlineness, perfect beach

No shampoo and showergel in the bathroom

Beautiful beach property with a good assortment of food at breakfast and dinner that is included in the price. Staff was very friendly. Small pool is a kiddie pool and NOT a hot tub. Drinks were included with breakfast but not dinner. Simple dinner was provided for late arrivals.

Don’t take your water or bottled beverage to dinner if you have one as they will tell you that you can’t bring in outside drinks and need to buy them from the bar.

I stayed at the hotel from June 28th to July 8th and was totally amazed. First of all, the professionalism of personnel, they all speak fluently English, German, Greek (of course) and occasionally other languages. I would like to thank all of them and especially Katerina who gave me the best room ever with the sea view, and always assisted in anything I asked for. All personnel is super friendly and it feels like you are a special guest.The hotel location is beautiful but a bit tough to get to from Heraklion by city bus. The driver missed the stop Sfakaki (you should tell him in advance where to stop and also remind). I traveled alone and didn't have a transfer, on the way back I had to order a private taxi which was a bit pricey. But other tourists especially from Germany had transfers (big bus that picked them up) depending on their tour agency agreements I guess.The room was very neat and clean, the ladies change towels once per 3 days and wash the floor every day that I didn't see in other hotels (that's bravo!).The sea was sometimes warm and sometimes cool depending on the wind direction. You should watch the color of the flag on the beach - green and yellow is OK with some waves, red - storm, you can't swim, the guard usually signals about that. But anyway the sea is wonderful.The food was good, I had HB, and I liked the dinners more because of meals variety. The drinks are served at separate price. There is a supermarket just 4 minutes walk from the hotel where you can find EVERYTHING from fresh fruits to women hygiene goods and children toys. Usually I bought white wine at the supermarket, one bottle 0.75l only 6 euro (White Sail), very delicious. And local beer is also nice.The beach bar offers delicious food also, I loved tuna salad and gyros pita (7 and 4 euros respectively).The beach is nice but the deckchair and the umbrella costs 5 euro per person.

Hotel Is on the beach, food very nice.

Bad smells from toilet and kids shouting at 8 a.m.
