The hotel has its ups and downs. While it offers a pleasant atmosphere and cleaning services that meet expectations, the food options could certainly improve, and the layout can be exhausting for some. The location allows for some exploration but is a bit isolated for those wanting to venture out easily. Overall, it's a somewhat budget-friendly option, but just be prepared for some inconsistencies.

I had a mixed experience at the Scaleta Beach hotel. The views were absolutely stunning, and the sunsets were a highlight. However, the food and dining options left much to be desired. The rooms felt outdated, and while they were cleaned daily, they were definitely in need of refurbishment. Additionally, the inconsistent service from the staff was a letdown, and I often felt that there could have been more effort put into ensuring guests' comfort.

I had a wonderful time at Scaleta Beach Hotel, enjoying breathtaking coastal views and a nice pool area. The food was quite good, with plenty of traditional Cretan options, although some items could have used more labeling. While the room was basic, it was clean and served its purpose well for a beach getaway. However, getting to Rethymno was a bit of a hassle at times, as the bus could take longer than expected.
