Eva Bay Hotel is about 6 kilometers east of Rethymnon. The hotel rates itself as a 4 star. Aside from the hard beds we could not find any reason to give it less of a rating. We stayed at this all-inclusive resort with our two children (10 & 9 years old) during the last week of the tourist season; checking out the day the hotel closed. We were the only couple with young kids. The hotel staff and other guests made them and us feel welcome. The water in the pool was cold, but the kids didn't seem to mind. The hotel has it's own beach area that leads right up to the sea. The hotel was immaculate as was the pool and the beach area. Food was good and the menu changed daily at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The poolside restaurant offered a more limited menu, but was still great. The kids could order chicken nuggets and fries or sandwiches poolside. They especially liked being able to walk up to the poolside bar on their own and order Mickey Mouse or Cinderella drinks...or dessert! When the poolside bar and restaurant closed at 5:30 pm the main bar opened inside the hotel. Beer, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages flowed generously from 10:00 am until around 01:00 am. The hotel was extremely accommodating to ALL of the guests. Checkout is at noon, but on the last day they stayed open until the last guest left at 10:00 pm! They even kept the restaurant open for dinner and lunch and allowed us to stay for the meals at no extra charge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would consider staying at Eva Bay again, although with the foreknowledge that the beds are uncomfortable.
