"Excellent food from all of the restaurants, snack bars and even the buffet. Good range of pools without any major issue finding sun loungers. Beach is sandy and can easily swim in the sea safely. Water park is great to have as another option. Hotel is big on sustainability so have to refill your own water bottles each day, but easy enough to do. We occasionally needed to request the room to be cleaned via the app as not always done daily, however each time we requested it to be cleaned it was...

"Very good and family friendly experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, overall an excellent stay. The only complaint would be that dinner at 2 of the 4 restaurants felt a little like a conveyor belt where the priority seemed to be getting us fed and out as quickly as possible rather than having us enjoy the dining experience. With that said the experience at the other 2 restaurants was excellent."

Grecotel LUX ME White

10/10 Excellent

"All over very good experience"

Eltina Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you for an excellent stay."

Aristea Hotel Rethymnon

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything felt exceptionally clean and well maintained, with a calm, relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. Our room was light, airy and spacious, with a recently refurbished boutique feel. The small kitchenette was very handy for snacks and chilled drinks, and the partial sea view was a lovely way to start each morning. Staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, always greeting us as we came and went. They shared helpful local knowledge and arranged a taxi to Knossos so we could avoid organised tours and arrive early, which really supported our children’s neurodivergent needs. Although we booked room only, we enjoyed snacks from the pool bar, and the food and drink options were great. The location was ideal: our teens could easily access the nearby beach and shops, and there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Staff also recommended quieter spots further along the beach for sunbeds. The pool was a perfect size, and all the facilities we saw were tidy and well maintained. We especially appreciated the relaxed vibe, the helpful staff, and being close to restaurants without being in the busiest part of Rethymno. Minor downsides were the small bathroom and limited storage — a chest of drawers or extra shelving would have been useful, and the wardrobe needed more hangers. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and would happily return."

Atlantis Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service from the staff at the hotel at breakfast and at dinners. Clean rooms with modern fit out. Overall well located property with easy access to old town and the beach ofcourse."

Elina Hotel Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and very good room for family. This include two showers and toilets Very helpful staff and good breakfast"

Creta Palace, A Resort to Live

10/10 Excellent

"We had a superior sea view room which did not disappoint. We only stayed 3 nights but thoroughly enjoyed it. Evenings are chilled, and daytimes we used the private beach. An overall luxurious resort."

Aquila Porto Rethymno

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful few days at Aquila Porto Rethymno. The property is beautiful and well maintained and with many additional facilities and games than expected. We went mid-June and had a wonderful time at the pool and beach, easily finding chairs, however, the drinks service was slow. The breakfast spread was delicious and plentiful. Very convenient location with easy walking distance to town."

Zeus Hotels YDORIA RESORT - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Lots to do for kids Good food Very clean Would recommend"

The Syntopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is clean, had great vibe and interior design. Amenities include a small gym with good equipment and a yoga studio. Good was fantastic, great section for meat and non-meat eaters. Restaurant and bar staff very friendly and good service. Good selection of pools, just have to be up early for main pool ‘best’ beds, with canopies. Can’t fault the hotel but was disappointed with the reception service. We went for our honeymoon and pre-told the hotel. We weren’t given an upgrade like many couple we spoke to and like many reviews show. We actually were given a different room for the 1st night because our original room was broken. Meaning we had to move room the following morning and couldn’t unpack and relax the night of arrival. The room was bigger and reception made it sound like they were giving a complimentary upgrade (for 12 hours), though it was only because they had to and it actually gave us more inconvenience. As a ‘sorry’ we got given the same fruit platter and sparkling that we would have got anyway as it was our honeymoon. After that bad start the rest of the stay was lovely. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kalypso?

For a truly luxurious and convenient stay in Kalypso, the best area is the resort itself, specifically within the main hotel complex or the bungalows overlooking the bay.The resort is designed for comfort and ease, offering direct access to the private beach and the sea. The main hotel complex houses most of the amenities, including the main restaurants, swimming pools, and the spa facilities. You'll find everything you need within a short stroll, making it incredibly convenient for a relaxing holiday.Couples looking for a romantic escape will particularly enjoy the bungalows. Many offer private balconies with stunning sea views, creating a private and peaceful setting. The proximity to the adults-only pool and fine dining options within the resort adds to the exclusive feel, superb for unwinding together.Families will find the main hotel complex highly suitable. With various room configurations and easy access to the children's clubs, family-friendly pools, and a range of activities, it simplifies holiday planning.

When is the best time to go to Kalypso?

The best time to go to Kalypso is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, and September, or early October.These months offer pleasant weather, with warm temperatures great for swimming and exploring, but without the intense heat and larger crowds of the peak summer months. You'll find the seawater is comfortably warm, and the island is generally less busy, making for a more relaxed experience.For couples looking for a romantic and tranquil getaway, May and September are particularly appealing. The fewer visitors mean you can enjoy the stunning Kalypso Rock's Beach, with its unique fjord-like cove, in a more private setting. You'll also find it easier to book tables at popular tavernas and experience the local culture without feeling rushed.Families travelling with children might find early June or early October ideal. The sea is still warm enough for children to enjoy, and the daytime temperatures are very agreeable for outdoor activities without being overwhelming for little ones.
