During our 2 week stay on Crete last September – my husband and I spent 3 nights at the Menta Hotel in Rethymno. We fell in love with this cute little boutique hotel! These are my 3 favorite reasons to stay at the Menta:
1. Breakfast
If there’s only one reason to stay at the Menta – it’s for the breakfast alone! Each morning the sweetest ladies would give us a tour of the daily breakfast choices – explaining the ingredients and how they are made. Everything was house made, fresh from the oven, and made with love! The way these women are so proud of their cooking and excited to share their Greek dishes with us – is one of my favorite memories of our time on Crete.
2. Amenities
For a small hotel (34 rooms), the Menta isn’t lacking in amenities. Besides being walkable to the city center – it also has a well equipped fitness center, comfy beds, our best air conditioning of the trip, and a lovely pool! After exploring in the mornings – we took advantage of the pool and outside area each afternoon.
3. Welcoming Staff
From the friendly ladies at breakfast to the gentlemen in reception – the hospitality at the Menta is top notch! Immediately upon check in – one feels at home here. The staff gave us several wonderful dinner recommendations, parked our car for us, and brought us drinks by the pool.
