White Olive Elite Rethymno

We loved the atmosphere and the stunning views. With the beach right there and a fantastic pool area, it was easy to have a stress-free vacation. The buffet had so much variety, with something tasty for everyone at any time. A real gem for a worry-free stay by the sea.

The beach near the hotel was incredibly beautiful and clean, and the food and drinks had plenty of delicious choices. Everyone we met at reception, the restaurant, and the bar was friendly, helpful, and professional. We absolutely loved staying here and would definitely recommend it.

We had such a relaxing vacation, with a lovely view of the pools and sea from our room. The design created a really nice mood. We'll visit again.

The hotel administration was rude and couldn't sort out any issues. There were no free sunbeds after 9 AM because towels had been put on all of them, even though guests were using fewer than half. Our sea-view room was really a pool-view room. We could only catch a small glimpse of the sea from a corner. The room smelled of mold, and there was mold and rust in the shower. A small window faced the neighbor's balcony with no curtain, so they could look straight into our room. The hotel didn't add a curtain until the fourth day. The bathrobes smelled moldy and damp too. The pool bar had very few snacks and closed at 5:30 PM. After that, another bar opened, but it had no snacks. Cocktail choices were very poor, and branded cocktails were only available at the evening bar, so you had to pay extra either to get snacks or to have cocktails. From 8 to 10 PM, there was always a queue at the bar, and getting a drink could take up to 30 minutes. Food choices were poor, especially at lunch and dinner. It was tasteless, though they occasionally served seafood such as fish or calamari.
