A truly grand hotel, with a well deserved reputation for excellence. It is not surprising that the Aquila Rithymna Beach, has won more awards from guests and international organisations than any other hotel in Greece.
The Cretan village-style garden rooms and traditional main building are enveloped in vast gardens, alive with colour and dotted with mature trees that provide a welcome shade from the summer sun. The Rithymna Beach has all the hallmarks of a beautiful Cretan village - from the church of St. John to an original olive oil press.
Just as important as the ambience are the attentive yet unobtrusive personnel. From room maids to managers, their quality service with a personal touch, is what makes so many guests come back year after year. This grand hotel has one of the most extensive choices of room types - from main building rooms, bungalows suites and villas, to Royal Pavilions with private pools.
No shows are subject to a charge of 3 nights. Early departures are subject to 50 percent charge of the entire stay. No charge in case of an emergency (illness,death).
