Special Offers for the Aquila Rithymna Beach hotel in Crete from Holiday Holiday.
Set in tranquil gardens and pulled up against the sea, the Rithymna Beach is a peaceful retreat.
It may be a cliche, but there really is something for everyone at Rithymna Beach. Take its location. It's on Crete's longest sandy beach - holder of a coveted Blue Flag - with views across to Mount Psiloritis and the White Mountains.
And it's certainly got the looks. Part of the hotel has been designed as a small-scale Cretan village, complete with a church, and the whole complex wraps around gorgeous spacious gardens and three pools. The showpiece has to be the big saltwater lagoon pool with its little bridges and islands. But the tranquil pool tucked away in the gardens is a firm favourite, too. There's a range of accommodation to choose from, too, including family garden rooms and junior suites, as well as the standard numbers, Simple in style, they come with trimmings like satellite TVs. For a bit of extra luxury, upgrade your room so you get what's known as the Mythica service. From Champagne on arrival, to flowers and a goody basket in your room, there are plenty of extras to be had in the Mythica rooms. Plus you'll be entitled to a late checkout and discounts in the hotel's shops. Where families are concerned, Rithymna Beach really stands out. There are clubs for different age groups, right up to teenagers. Special suppers and sleepovers are the kind of things in store for pint-sized guests, giving parents a chance to enjoy relaxing crete holidays
knowing they're having fun in safe hands. Swimming lessons and snorkelling are on the agenda too, plus waterpark trips for teens.
