The Aquila Porto Rethymno has a sought-after postcode. It's just across the road from a sandy beach and less than a 10-minute walk from Rethymnon's lively town centre.
There are two swimming pools to choose from. They're set in a sea-facing terrace freckled with cushioned loungers and wicker coffee tables so sunbathing time is complemented with great views. There's a cafe-come-cocktail bar too which specialises in cold drinks and light al fresco lunches.
At mealtimes you've got a couple of restaurants to dine in. One has a buffet set-up with a good variety of international fare. The other Piazza Di Porto offers a fine dining menu of Cretan and Mediterranean specialities. You'll see a local twist in everything from pasta dishes to after-dinner cakes and pastries.
