Nice place that's very close to the water

We stayed here for about 4 nights and everything went well. There are two sections of the palace...one where the hotel reception is connected to and the other is a stand along building across the street. We've read online that one of the sections was the "newer" renovated one and I think that was the section with the hotel reception. We stayed in other section across the street and it was fine. It doesn't look so outdated that you can tell/feel it's vastly different. Every night, there is some type of special music or performance by the pool. That was a nice touch and appreciated. Everyone is very friendly as well. We opted for the daily parking of 8 euros and that came in pretty handy. There can be street parking but it is limited and you will have to drive around the side streets for one.
Street parking available but scarce
Shot of the "main" building from across the street...beautiful

Fantastic holiday spot on Crete

We had amazing time in Theartemis hotel this summer. Hotel is recently renovated and everything looks new. Pool is very good. Lot of activities are organized in hotel (shows, concerts). Stuff is very friendly and professional. From reception, restaurant or any other part of the hotel you can feel real Greek hospitality. Had fantastic experience from check in to check out. Looking forward to visit it again in coming. Years.

Great experience

The room and the hotel are excellent. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The proposed activities are various. The breakfast buffet is one of the best I have ever seen,with so many different options. The pool area is huge and no problem finding an available sunbed. Sometimes the wait to get your drink order by the pool is a bit long, but all in all a great experience.

Lovely 5 nights!

We had a lovely stay here! The staff are super friendly and very accommodating! I’m vegan and the staff gave me a selection of vegan meat, almond milk and cheeses for breakfast in addition to the buffet which was very kind! The room had a few flaws such as a broken lamp that had the cord taped back together, when we mentioned it wasn’t working they fixed the plug instead of swapping the lamp which was a bit of a safety concern for us. The room we stayed in was a bit loud at times but still a lovely room! I’d recommend paying more for the pool view as we had partial sea view but was a little loud sometimes from the street. Overall a wonderful stay and would stay again!

Decent stay!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Theartemis Palace. It is in a nice area of Rethymno, near a great beach boardwalk that we enjoyed taking walks on in the evening. We booked the premium suite with jetted tub, which I'm not sure I would call 'premium'. We mostly loved the balcony and very comfortable lounge chairs. However, the balcony is not private at all - it sometimes feels that you are 'on display' for the other rooms because there is a full wall of glass windows looking onto the balcony and an open-air top (great for tanning, not great for privacy). Also, the room has a joining door with the other premium suite and there was a very loud couple next to us who made lots of noise in the middle of the night. We also didn't have 10/10 cleaning service in the room. Some dirty cups were not taken out and the nespresso pods were only replenished when we asked. Also, we used a blanket that did not have a cover on it. We had half-board and were surprised that dinner service did not include water (and 3 euro for one bottle of water is over priced!). We were generally satisfied with the meals but found the dishes themselves were hit or miss (though we did have some favorites). All in all, it was a decent stay. Not sure I would make this one of my 'staple' places but it was good enough!

Comfortable Stay in a Great Location Near Rethymno

I stayed at Theartemis Palace for two nights during a longer trip to Crete and found it to be an excellent base for exploring Rethymno. The hotel is well-located, just a short walk from the charming old town, making it easy to enjoy the area's rich history and vibrant atmosphere. The property itself is stylish, well-maintained, and offered a high standard of comfort throughout my stay. Overall, a pleasant and convenient choice for anyone visiting this part of Crete.
