Amira Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only

We had a really lovely stay at Amira Hotel. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly, helpful staff who made check-in quick and seamless. The room with a seeview was bright and tidy, with thorough daily cleaning, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is a great base for exploring the area, with easy access to the beach and nearby local tavernas. Breakfast offered a nice selection, including Greek specialties and more classic options, so there was something for everyone. The common areas are well maintained, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxed. The service deserves praise—the staff were quick to help with everything from recommendations to reservations. De dining was great with tema based buffe Greek,italian,Thai an so on. Do not miss the vine and olive tour. Looking at the oldest olivetree in the world >3000 year old. All in all, a well-kept hotel with warm, personal service, a good location, and good value for money. We would gladly return and can recommend Amira Hotel to both couples (adult only) looking for a relaxing base for their holiday on Crete.

Had a great time there, the staff was so friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. The rooms was lovely and really well cleaned daily. Had a gorgeous view of the beach. Had a brilliant holiday thank you so much!

Nice and friendly service, clean area and room, good jazzuci. The breakfest more than you can eat. Transportion easy, eighter taxi or buss outside the entrance.

Thank you for 14 lovely days at Amira Luxury Resort. As every time we visit the resort we have a wonderful holiday. Amira truly lives up to 5 stars and the standard and atmosphere is still top notch. It is a pleasure to be served by dedicated and professional staff throughout the hotel. Many thanks to all the staff and see you again in 2026. Ragna Maria and Gert Bach

The staff was very polite, helpfull and accommodating, but the breakfaststaff must take more time to their guests - doesn't take much time. Our room was tastefull, had plenty of space, and had a fantastic sea wiew. The pool area was very nice, but whitout showers, everyone goes into the pool with sweat and sunlotion, and that's... I think a five star area also should have discretly small cubicles/changing room in the pool area. The beach wasn't a five star beach. Fantastic kitchen with a teastfull menue for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our overall experience was therefor four plus, not five stars, and we would be happy to return to your hotel.

The design/architecture of the hotel is modern with clean lines and well layed out facilities from pools to private beach. A great welcome as you arrive, cases taken and greted with juices and fruit while the passports are taken and simple form completed. Overall, the cleanliness throughout could not be faulted, all areas were kept immaculate. Rooms are of adequate size with good storage, beds were very comfortable and the A/C and lighting controls made it easy to adjust the atmosphere. Rooms with sharing pool had more than adequate space to relax with chairs and sunbeds. The food was all well presented and of a high quality and variety both for the breakasts and the evening meal (personaly I would like to have seen a little more fish on offer). The staff were always curtious and helpful, however a few did not always look that happy in their work. The guest relations team were realy happy and helpful and offered good advice. Evening entertainment is difficult to satisfy all tastes, for me it did not work most nights. Location, slightly short of shops and tavernas close to the hotel, you have to walk some distance to the more central areas to get a variety of both. However, Rethymno, only a 15 min bus ride away, is an excellent town to visit for many reasons. Will I return. I am sure one day I will again travel to Crete and will almost certainly choose Amira. Thanks for a great holiday.

Suites not recommended in September - no sun whole day long (north-sided); private pool not private and icy cold. Really clean place, friendly staff (but some of them always argueing in front of guests); beautiful interior, good service with complaints; Food was not luxury, but very "british" (mint, mint, mint), soups yuck, nothing real special.

The location was very convenient. Just outside of Rethymno, bus stop right outside the hotel. Perfect base from which to explore other parts of the Island. The hotel was spotlessly clean. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. They could not do enough for you. Nothing was too much trouble

What a beautiful hotel lovely friendly staff with all modern rooms. The food was outstanding and all the facilities were immaculate. I would highly recommend this resort.

The staff provided exceptional service, demonstrating friendliness and attentiveness. The culinary offerings were delightful, with the Almira à la carte restaurant standing out. We highly recommend this destination for those seeking a relaxing holiday experience, complemented by stunning sea and pool views. The spa treatments were also of a high standard. We anticipate a return visit.
