We stayed in a garden view room and enjoyed every second. Our room was clean, modern and spacious. The addition of a welcome basket on arrival was a nice touch after a long journey. The hotel itself was great. It is isolated and more on the quiet side but this is what we were looking for so suited us perfectly.... More

We stayed here in October 2012 for the final week of the season. What a mistake! Without the weather this hotel is pretty bleak. Contrary to the information on the website, there is no beach. Instead you have a man made building site with rubble underfoot and barbed wire to look at on the cliffs. The hotel caters predominantly for... More

Late booking, very good price for HB (FB does not seem worth the extra) From the moment you arrive, the staff are very attentive, I suspect we got extra special treatment as it was at the very beginning of the season, but frozen towel and cool drink was a great touch on arrival. Upgraded to a room with pool shared... More

We were staying with our 6 family members in 2 rooms. Although the hotel looks clean and quite the issue we experienced was on the water. On both the hotel as on the Jetair website (Zoutwaterzwembad, zoetwaterzwembad, zonneterras) it was mentioned that there were both salt as sweet water pools.

My friend and I wanted a sunny week away of book reading and chilling in the sunshine. (we went Sept 2012) The Sensimar in Crete was absolutely perfect. We upgraded to a shared pool room which was brilliant as most of the time we had the pool to ourselves. The great thing about this hotel is that there are plenty... More

If you are overtired and need a really relaxed holiday, hotel that you don't need (or want:-) to leave, this just might be the place! Being a bit isolated has its advantages.

The hotel is located some kilometers outside Rethimno and it is the best place to go for dining. Hotel itself is quite new. Apartments are big, mine was two rooms.
