We stayed at Aegean View for two weeks, in Stavromenos. We came with two kids, ages 13 and 11. It was an excellent stay. It's a new hotel and the owner and staff were very responsive to our needs. The pool is very nice, the breakfast is perfect, lots of fruit, delicious eggs, ham and cheese, etc. Air conditioning worked well in the room which is crucial for a July vacation in Crete. Lots of parking and we rented a car and drove all around Crete. One big bonus was that it was just 10 minutes from downtown Rethymno and we were happy we didn't stay IN Rethymno, it's gotten too crowded, difficult to navigate and impossible to park. It's must easy to stay just outside of Rethymno. It is 2 minutes walk to a small beach but there are so many gorgeous beaches in Crete, we didn't really spend time at the beach outside of our hotel which is a little rocky. Overall a fantastic stay and happy to recommend.
