Guest reviews
Exceptional
Very enjoyable
Liked: Outstanding hotel, great pool area, great breakfast selection, quiet location
Room for improvement!
Liked: Very friendly and welcoming staff in a lovely location. The room manager gave up his time to listen to my adverse comments and gave us a complimentary late check out time
Disliked: Room and bathroom design were poor for a 5 star hotel. The bidding system to upgrade rooms doesn’t befit a hotel of this category.
A Peaceful, Quiet, Modern Stay with Wonderful Service
Liked: Nautilux feels like a newer, grand hotel, even if you might not get that impression from the exterior alone. You can tell the property is relatively new to the area, and the multiple pools and beach access are fantastic features. I imagine this hotel is especially beautiful in late spring and summer, when you can make the most of the outdoor amenities. We visited in the fall, however, and unfortunately didn't get to enjoy them because of the turbulent weather, strong winds, and high ocean tides. The staff were easily one of the highlights of our stay. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and willing to help with anything we needed. Although some of the hotel's room service buttons and apps weren't working properly, the front desk more than made up for it by helping us order what we needed. I also appreciated that the hotel organized an event featuring a live singer to give guests something to enjoy during the bad weather. It was a thoughtful touch that made the stay feel more enjoyable despite the conditions. The room was as advertised, with the feel of a standard four-star American hotel: comfortable, modern, and clean upon arrival. Overall, the property offers a relaxing atmosphere, excellent hospitality, and wonderful amenities, particularly for those looking for a quieter coastal escape.
Disliked: Although the room was clean when we arrived, it wasn't cleaned every day, and we struggled a little to figure out which buttons to use to request housekeeping. The room service buttons and apps also weren't functioning properly during our stay, although the front desk was very helpful in resolving this. There was some minor wear and tear around the property, though it would probably only stand out to a particularly picky eye and is understandable for a hotel situated right by the water. Our room's view was also not particularly appealing, although there was the option to upgrade to a room facing the water or ocean. The location is worth considering depending on the type of trip you're planning. It's an easy walk to the main boardwalk, where you'll find plenty of restaurants and cafés, but there's not a great deal immediately surrounding the hotel itself. This may vary depending on the season, too. If you're looking for peace, relaxation, and a more resort-like atmosphere, Nautilux is a great choice. However, if you'd prefer to be right in the middle of the action, with more restaurants, cafés, and activity on your doorstep, I'd recommend staying in Old Town instead.
Liked: An Exceptional Five-Star Experience in Rethymno! Nautilux by Mage is one of those rare hotels where elegance, contemporary design, and genuine hospitality come together to create a truly memorable experience. Every detail reflects a commitment to quality, from the stylish architecture and beautifully designed interiors to the exceptional comfort and relaxing atmosphere. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its outstanding staff. Their warmth, professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine desire to make every guest feel special elevate the entire experience to another level. This is hospitality at its finest! As a Booking.com Genius Level 3 member — the highest loyalty tier — I have stayed at numerous hotels and experienced a wide range of hospitality standards. Over time, this has naturally made me a rather demanding guest, with high expectations and a keen eye for detail. Nautilux by Mage not only met those expectations but genuinely exceeded them. It is increasingly rare to find a hotel where the quality of the facilities, the atmosphere, and the level of service come together so seamlessly. The beautiful beachfront location, sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere, and attention to even the smallest details make Nautilux the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Crete. True luxury is not about extravagance, but about feeling genuinely cared for — and Nautilux by Mage understands this perfectly. An exceptional hotel that fully deserves its five stars, and a place we would happily return to without hesitation. Highly recommended, even for the most experienced and discerning travellers!
Disliked: Honestly, finding something to dislike about Nautilux is quite a challenge! Our nine days were pure bliss — peaceful, relaxing, with the gentle sound of the sea and the wonderful feeling of being somewhere that was clearly popular, yet never felt crowded. 🤭 Leaving wasn’t particularly heartbreaking… until we saw those happy, excited guests arriving, with their entire holiday still ahead of them, while ours had just come to an end. That was simply unacceptable! 😂
Liked: Easy beach access
Probably one of the best hotels we have stayed in, everything was perfect
Liked: Everything was perfect
Disliked: Nothing
