You’re just a few steps from the sand and 50m from local shops, cafés and relaxed bars, so it’s easy to pop out for an ice cream or a sunset drink. Follow the promenade west and in around 2.2km you’ll reach Rethymnon’s charming old town and Venetian harbour, where winding streets hide bougainvillea-draped mansions, tucked-away churches and waterside tavernas. It’s a great base if you want a beach holiday with plenty of local life and history on tap.][vc_empty_space][mkdf_section_title type="standard" position="" title_tag="h3" disable_break_words="no" title="Distances and Transfers"][vc_column_text css=""] Beach: approx. 10m (across the promenade) Nearest shops, bars & restaurants: approx. 50m Rethymnon resort centre & old town: approx. 2.2km Approx. transfer time from airport: 2 hours 30 minutes [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space][mkdf_section_title type="standard" position="" title_tag="h3" disable_break_words="no" title="Map"][vc_column_text css=""]
Rethymnon – Heraklion, Crete (Heraklion Area), Greece

The main buffet restaurant keeps things easy with breakfast and dinner served under one roof. Expect a mix of Greek and international dishes, salads and hot options, with live show cooking at peak times and highchairs available for younger guests.

Evenings ease into laid-back drinks at the poolside cocktail bar, open until late in high season, while the pool bar covers light bites and refreshments during the day. A smart dress code applies at dinner (no beachwear; gentlemen are usually asked to wear long trousers), and some services vary by season and board basis.][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_gallery interval="0" source="external_link" onclick="" css="" custom_srcs="https://www.jet2holidays.com/HotelImages/Web/HER_70933_Pearl_Beach_1119_03.jpg,https://www.jet2holidays.com/HotelImages/Web/HER_70933_Pearl_Beach_1119_04.jpg,https://www.jet2holidays.com/HotelImages/Web/HER_70933_Pearl_Beach_1119_06.jpg"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space][mkdf_section_title type="standard" position="" title_tag="h3" disable_break_words="no" title="Pool Areas and Beach"][vc_column_text] Outside, there’s a freshwater pool with a separate children’s section framed by loungers and parasols – perfect for lazy days close to the bar. Towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can travel lighter. When you fancy a change of scene, head indoors to the spa centre, where an additional freshwater pool is heated in early season and open most of the summer. The real star, though, is the long sandy beach just across the promenade (around 10m away). Sunbathe on the shore, paddle in the shallows or try your hand at watersports with local providers offering pedalos, inflatable rides, snorkelling, scuba diving and motorised options (usually for 18+, extra charges apply and run by external companies).][vc_empty_space][mkdf_section_title type="standard" position="" title_tag="h3" disable_break_words="no" title="Spa, Sports and Other Facilities"][vc_column_text] Stay on track in the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines, a free-weights area and fixed strength equipment. Over in the spa, you’ll find a sauna, steam room, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments to help you fully unwind (18+, local charges and seasonal opening hours apply). Entertainment is fairly low-key and seasonal: think daytime activities from April, stepping up to daily poolside fun and evening shows, live music, DJs, karaoke and more through the summer months. Practical facilities include a 24-hour reception with concierge service and currency exchange, luggage storage, equipment hire (such as kettles, mobility scooters and wheelchairs, all with local charges), plus charging points for mobility scooters.][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_gallery interval="0" source="external_link" onclick="" css="" custom_srcs="https://www.jet2holidays.com/HotelImages/Web/HER_70933_Pearl_Beach_Hotel_0720_01.jpg,https://www.jet2holidays.com/HotelImages/Web/HER_70933_Pearl_Beach_Hotel_0922_02.jpg,https://www.jet2holidays.com/HotelImages/Web/HER_70933_Pearl_Beach_1119_01.jpg"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space][mkdf_section_title type="standard" position="" title_tag="h3" disable_break_words="no" title="Rooms"][vc_column_text css=""] Standard Room
