Bottom Line

Budget leisure travelers looking for clean, basic accommodations may enjoy the 65 studio and one-bedroom apartment-style rooms at the Camari Garden Apartments. A two-pearl property, it's an ideal place for couples seeking an affordable home base for exploring the surrounding area. It doesn't have many luxuries, though the outdoor, mountaintop pool with views of the Cretan Sea is a popular place for guest gathering. An on-site restaurant serves excellent, local cuisine.

Oyster Hotel Review

Camari Garden Hotel Apartments

Scene

Basic buildings in a mountaintop complex

This family-owned apartment complex is full of repeat guests, so don't be surprised to hear the friendly owners greeting their customers by name. Though the Neoclassic buildings that comprise the complex are simple and basic, they're also clean and comfortable, and the lobby is filled with tables and chairs for guest lounging. The outdoor pool, offering pretty views of the Cretan Sea, tends to attract many guests.

Location

A car is a necessity for exploring the area

The hotel is located on a mountain top in Gerani, about four miles from the more populous town of Rethymnon. A car is a necessity for getting around the area. There's not much surrounding the complex except beautiful Cretan sea views. The beach, while accessible by foot, is a downhill walk away.

Rooms

Clean and basic Studio and One-Bedroom apartments

When it comes to decor, it doesn't get much more bare-bones than the Camari Garden Apartments. There's no wall art or rugs, and the color scheme is mostly white and beige. Rooms lack TVs, and ultimately offer little more than a place to sleep. There are a few nice features, however, including a small kitchenette with mini-fridge, hot plate, and two-person dining table. Some of the 65 Studio or One-Bedroom Apartments also have balconies with mountain views.

Features

Mountaintop pool with sea views, and an on-site market

The most popular features at the Camari Garden Apartments are the two outdoor pools: one for adults and one for kids, both with lovely views of the surrounding mountains and the sea below. The complex also has on on-site marketplace selling basics (including wine) and an on-site restaurant serving good traditional Greek cuisine. There's a recreation room, and though it's bare-bones, it does have a pool and air hockey table.
