Hydramis Palace Beach Resort

It was clean. Staff are great. Location is 15 min to Rethymno, and 35 mins to Chania which I found convenient. Nearby, there is a small street across the road with plenty of restaurants and cocktail bars. It makes sense to take breakfast + dinner, so Half Board. Otherwise you are stuck in the hotel. AC was working, cleaning and laundry were timely and smiley. Close to beaches in the south of the island. Not far from Balos. Far but reachable from Elafonisi. Has bus stop nearby but car rent opens different perspectives of the island.

Reach and tasty breakfast and dinner Great pool, enough umbrella and bed at pool

Not bad. Usual stuff. Very friendly and polite staff.

Place was well maintained and clean. A small balcony facing the sea was great. Staff at reception and restaurant were friendly and helpful. The beach is just at the back though lot of pebbles for first 10-15 metres into the water. You got the bus stop for buses going to Chania, Rethimno and Heraklion at about 200m. The road to the bus stop from Hotel is like a service road ( public road ) but no lights.
