  Relaxing and restful hotel

  24 Sept 2022

  Lovely hotel. We were originally booked into another hotel which we did not find suitable and Hotel Babis came to our rescue.Rooms beautifully clean and well maintained. Cleaner made our beds and cleaned room everyday. Breakfast was part of price and very nice. Bread, boiled egg, ham, cheese, tomato, cereals etc plus fresh coffee and orange juice. Pool a good size and clean with plenty of sun loungers .Our hosts very welcoming and friendly.This is only a small hotel . No entertainment but serves as a great base to explore Crete.

  Lovely room and very helpful owner

  27 Jun 2019

  Manolis and his wife are very good hosts. "What can I do to help you?" is frequently asked. Sea view room is lovely. Open field between hotel and beach with path at side. Nice pool with good sunbeds. Room is very comfortable with air con, free wifi and a much appreciated fridge. Lovely sunsets. Good breakfast served 8am to 10am. Cereals, bread, cheese, ham, yoghurt, cakes, coffee, organge juice etc. Best side of road - hotels on other side have to use tunnel to reach beach or cross very busy road. We took bus from Chania airport direct to Rethymno. Left luggage at bus station for a few hours while we explored town and then headed out to Scaleta. Buses run every 30 mins or so from Rethymno. It takes maybe 20-30 mins depending on traffic. You should get off bus at the Scaleta Market below the Oasis Hotel and next to Hotel Gortyna. On the other side of the road is the Creta Star (big hotel) and the Hotel Babis. When you exit the bus and facing the sea walk a little to your right and you will find a small underpass - the roof is low so you may have to bend over if 6 foot or over. Alternatively walk further to your right and you will find a large underpass which buses can use. Once through the small underpass turn right again past the car rental etc. Or if using the larger tunnel turn left. Bus fare from town is 1.80 euro. Bus tickets in bus station before you leave or pay on bus. Going back into town walk along to the Creta Star and you will find bus stop there. Buy tickets in advance if possible as speeds up process. A few small bus useful shops in area and a few restaurants. Feel free to ask me questions.

  I'll be back !

  13 Aug 2018

  Stayed for 5 days with my daughter, and the excellent service from Manolis began before we arrived when he organised our airport transfer at a very reasonable €20 eachOur room was clean and simply furnished, with a sea-view balcony, frdge, safe,flat-screen tv (never used) and extremely efficient air conditioning.Delicious continental buffet breakfast with traditional Cretan and locally sourced products- yummy fresh figs from Manolis' gardenWe loved the pool which was pristine and never busyOnly a few minutes walk from a lovely uncrowded beach with free sunbeds and waiter service for food and drinks. Part of the beach was roped off as turtles had nested and we were lucky enough to see the baby turtles hatching and dashing down the beach to the sea. Such a privilege!Bus stop to Rethymnon close by. Restaurants and shops also under 5 mins walk awayWe had a really relaxing break and will definitely be back.
