Cannot fault the apartments in any way they are spotlessly clean and comfortable, lovely pool area and bar.
A few things that let it down - first of all there was no one at Reception when I arrived to check me in, there were instructions for self check in but this didn't provide the room key that I needed to get in to my room, I walked round the pool to the bar and the barman then came to Reception with me.
Secondly, and this isn't a fault of the hotel, but if you don't book directly with the hotel then you have to pay seperately for air conditioning which was 7 euros a night, this adds quite a bit on to the total cost and should be more visible on the Hotel.cm description.

Another pleasant stay, though the room we had overlooked the road so it was noisy, and other guests were also noisy.

2nd time staying here and it was superb as usual. Beautiful, clean property with a splendid pool and very friendly staff. It's a stone throw to the beach and all the best bars and restaurants.

One slight negative is that if you book via Orbitz and not directly through Rainbow Apts, there is a daily fee to use the air conditioning in the room. This appears to not be the doing of Rainbow Apts, but that of Orbitz who do not mention this fee at the time of booking. I shall take this up with Orbitz, so beware this hidden cost.

1st time in Crete

This was our first time in Crete and we couldn't have chosen better accommodation! The apartment was spotless as were the pool and garden areas, the staff extremely helpful and friendly and the position was great - quiet location but only a 4-5 minute stroll to the beach, restaurants and shops. There was a small mini market just outside the apartments which was very convenient. We met people who were returning for their 3rd or 4th time, always a good recommendation! Although it didn't inconvenience us, there is no lift so may be a consideration for less able bodied people unless they request a ground floor apartment - but even so, the staff were only too happy to assist with luggage. We hope to be back at some future date.

I have stayed in these apartments before and it's always been good. So much so this time I've extended my stay.

It is important to note that our visit to this property was in late February during the off season in Crete. We stayed at the special “luxury” apartment, which is in a separate building across the street from the main Rainbow Apartments. The larger apartment buildings were closed, so we cannot comment on what this facilities is like during its season. We loved staying here, and found the apartment really nice for the two of us. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen worked well, the sea view and access to the beach below was great, and the manager helped us with everything we needed. Be aware that there is some traffic noise from the road below the apartment, though it is not overwhelming.

Hotel worth staying at

upgraded to superior triple for 2 of us. Flat spacious spotless and cleaned every2-3 days. Pool area also well maintained and very clean. Staff couldnt be more helpful and when you add in that it is 5 min from beach/nightlife but quiet and very well situated for local bus or hired car i would give it 10 out of 10. Superb value for money

Clean, modern, friendly

As a couple in our 50's, we stayed four nights in a Superior Studio at Rainbow Apartments in early April, which is shoulder season.
The complex is setback from the road by a short, stone entryway and garden. There is space to park, perhaps, two cars directly in front of the gate, while the road around the corner can accommodate everyone else.
In the off-season, at least, the road has virtually no traffic late at night.
The apartment was modern, clean, and quiet. A small safe was in the closet. The bedding was fine. WiFi was fine.
It's a good base for exploring with car Heraklion/Knossos (~20 minutes) and sights east (Malia, Ay Nick, Gournia, Lato, Panagia Kera). The kitchenette had fridge, microwave, stove, cookware, and silverware. You may need your own sponge and dish-soap. The nearest supermarket of any size is 5 minutes away in Malia. However, we bought groceries when passing larger supermarkets closer to Heraklion.
Maria at the front desk speaks English well, and she was very helpful with sightseeing suggestions tailored to our interests.
For example, knowing we would travel later to Rethymno and that we had enjoyed exploring ancient Lato, Maria suggested ancient Elephtherna and its new archaeology museum. (Good advice).
We had no need for the A/C in April; in fact, we used the machine for heating the apartment at night.
When visiting this part of Crete, we would return to Rainbow.

Séjour de 3 nuitées dans cette résidence au lendemain d’une tempête de sable. À notre arrivée tout le personnel remettait tout en ordre. Notre chambre était très propre. Calme assuré. Le personnel super gentil surtout l’agent en charge du Petit déjeuner. Snack abordable. On recommande.

Schön angelegte Unterkunft. Sauberkeit bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten gut (z.B. offensichtliche, tote Mücken an den Fliesen).
Zimmer war ausreichend Platz für Zwei, allerdings ist die Dusche sehr eng.

Hinweis - wer eingeschränkt mobil ist, sollte dies bei Buchung klären, denn einige Zimmer sind nur beschwerlich über viele Treppen zu erreichen. Haben dafür aber Meerblick.
