Grecotel Plaza Beach House

There’s more than a hint of ancient Greece about the design of the Grecotel Plaza beach House, with architectural features inspired by the Old Town of nearby Rethymnon. Pair that ambience with a prime location right on the seafront and excellent amenities for families, and you have yourself an ideal place to stay on the north coast of Crete.

The Blue Flag Rethymnon Beach is just a few steps away, while a choice of three pools – including one with sea views – means you’ll never be short of places to swim and sunbathe. Little ones will love it here, too, thanks to the shallow paddling pool and the fun-packed activities programme at Grecoland Corner (available from April to October for ages 4-12), with an emphasis on sports and beach games.

An extensive selection of delicious à la carte and buffet dishes are freshly prepared at the House Kitchen for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there’s a bar that keeps the drinks flowing throughout the day. Keen for a change of scene? You’ll find plenty more bars and restaurants dotted along the seafront promenade, which extends all the way into the historic centre of Rethymnon – around 25 minutes’ walk away. 

And as all the apartments here come with well-equipped kitchens, you’ll also have the flexibility to dine in whenever you fancy.

Just so you know, ramps are located throughout the hotel and some rooms may be suitable for those with additional needs
