Mare Monte Beach Hotel

Frommer's Review

Some 15 miles west of Rethymnon, you'll feel like you're living in a remote hideaway, with the sea before you and the mountains behind. This first-class resort hotel also boasts a beautiful beach. Guest rooms are of moderate size with basic Greek hotel furnishings but have fully modern bathrooms. Activities include minigolf, archery, horseback riding by arrangement, and table tennis. Although it lacks the luxury of the grand resorts to the east of Rethymnon, the Mare Monte is a good alternative for those who want to focus their Cretan stay on Rethymnon, Chania, and western Crete, yet prefer to be based well away from a noisy town. The village of Georgioupolis is close enough for an evening stroll.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; 2 bars; pool; children's pool; 2 night-lit tennis courts; extensive watersports; children's playground; concierge; tours and car rentals arranged; secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry and dry cleaning arranged
