Kalandares Vacation Rentals

"Beautiful hotel, staff are so friendly and helpful. Facilities great, hotel feel is laid back and luxurious but not fussy. Very clean and beautifully kept grounds. Location is great 30 minute walk to beautiful little town Panormo which has plenty restaurants, bars and a few shops. 30 minute drive into the city of Rethymno. I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxed base to explore Crete, we stayed for 1 week and felt we could have easily stayed another few days. "

"Amazing Resort! Amazing Staff! Great for a quiet luxury getaway!"

"Lovely setting, right on the beach. Staff very helpful and friendly, food very good for buffet and three al a Carte restaurant meals included. Room was a good size and separate area for teenage kids ideal. Only half hour drive from Heraklion airport and parking free at hotel. We rented a car as late flight and wanted to get to hotel ASAP. Car rental cheaper than private transfer and easy drive. Paid for late check out as return flight not till after 11pm and was well worth it."

"Happy Cretan was the perfect place. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The rooms were immaculate, cleaned every day throughout the trip as well as all eating areas and the gym etc - everything was spotless! The breakfast was also a great selection, lots to choose from and all tasted fantastic! It is really the perfect relaxation place! Thank you Happy Cretan!! "

"I spent seven unforgettable days at Peninsula Resort & Spa in Greece, and it truly felt like a slice of heaven The hotel is just as described — tranquil, elegant, and perfectly suited for a relaxing getaway. The resort features three beautiful beaches , including a private one where the sea is ideal for swimming. The large swimming pool never felt crowded — sunbeds were always available, and fresh towels were on hand whenever needed.The room I stayed in was spacious. Daily cleaning was provided, however, I did notice a few items left behind the bed, which was a shame in an otherwise well-kept space. The all-inclusive experience was exceptional. A fantastic variety of cocktails, wines, spirits, and soft drinks were always on offer, and the food selection was outstanding — diverse, fresh, and consistently delicious. If I had one small critique, it would be that some of the drinking glasses weren't always cleaned thoroughly, so I often requested cups instead — a minor hiccup in an otherwise flawless stay. Unfortunately, due to a recent storm, the à la carte restaurants weren't available during my stay, so I wasn't able to enjoy that part of the experience. However, the staff.There were activities scheduled throughout the day and evening , with a lively French animation team adding energy and entertainment. From quiet relaxation to social fun, the resort struck the perfect balance.The staff were friendly and welcoming. I wholeheartedly recommend this resort and wouldn't hesitate "

"Exceptional resort. The staff is outstanding, very attentive to the needs of the guests. Although it is an all inclusive resort, it should be noted that room service is NOT included as an all-inclusive benefit; you will have to pay for it."

"Lovely hotel and staff. Rooms were cleaned regularly, air con worked perfectly and it was generally an all round joy to stay there. "

"Beautiful hotel and service was fantastic in every part of the hotel except for the buffet. There were a lot of staff but always had to call someone to the table to either get a drink or set the table. Also, ordered drinks that never came. This happened on multiple occasions. Other than that, the hotel service was impeccable. I would highly recommend. "

"Loved this place, staff, buffet"
