Our 9 days in Crete started badly and ended badly, but everything else was great, First they lost my son's luggage on the way to Crete. We waited two hours in the awful Heraklion airport for it to arrive, before they told us it was still in Birmingham. We got into the hotel around 3 am. The hotel had some snacks for us and the luggage arrived 24 h later. The hotel is gorgeous, rooms are nice, bit small for 3 of us, but perfectly adequate. I'd say 4*. bathroom OK, shower in the bath so a bit old fashioned. No lock on toilet door!!. Plenty of wardrobe space for 2 but not quite enough for 3 with a small balcony overlooking the pool. Food was great, 5*. Staff were wonderful 5**** from the room cleaners to the desk staff. Could not do enough for you. Obviously have been trained very well - always greet you with a smile. Entertainment every night was fun. Drinks very expensive, so we went to the bar at the campsite next door. Beach is lovely but water was rough for the whole week so impossible to swim. Plenty of beach loungers and there is also beach gym, table-tennis, darts, volleyball and football on offer. One infrastructure problem I noticed that did not affect us was that the pool is too small for the number of people who want to use it. An area for children is roped off, but it's very crowded. They really need another big pool for adults only. However we are beach, not pool people so didn't bother us. There is also an internal gym which is well equipped and a spa in the same building (which we did not use) , plus a nice indoor pool. there are shops on site, and you are a 10E taxi ride to Rethymno. We had a lovely time - one of the best places we have stayed. The way back was awful - coach driver drove too fast on windy roads and my wife threw up but luckily only when we got to the airport. I feel sorry for the cleaner who had to empty the bin !!!!! But that is a Tui, not a hotel problem. Overall a great 5* experience and thoroughly recommend the place.

Having just booked a last minute holiday to celebrate our Silver Wedding, I just wanted to write a review to highlight the outstanding customer service I received from Kalliopi in their reservations department. Having only booked the holiday yesterday to arrive on the 30th of August, it could have been very stressful but Kalliopi made the whole experience stress free and manageable. Nothing was too much trouble and all my questions answered without hesitation. If this is the level of Cretan hospitality, then we can't wait to arrive on the 30th. Many thanks for your help, you are a real credit to the hotel. Trace

Nous avons séjourné en famille une semaine au Creta Palace. L’hôtel est très bien situé (proche de Réthymnon) et dispose d’une magnifique plage de sable. L’agence nous a présenté un hôtel « all inclusive » mais la réalité est bien plus compliquée que cela : le « all in » vaut pour les boissons et le buffet central (qui est loin d’être le plus attrayant et manque de variété et de choix tant le midi que le soir). Pour les restaurants, on dispose d’un crédit et d’une carte limitée ; pareil le midi à la plage ou à la piscine à moins de manger après 14:30. Tout cela est très compliqué et difficile à comprendre. Dommage de devoir sans cesse tout vérifier sur l’application alors qu’on est en vacances. Par contre, la nourriture est de très haute qualité, tout particulièrement au Sky Bar. Le personnel est hyper disponible et à l’écoute et nous avons eu beaucoup de chance de partager nôtre experience et nos avis avec Vasilis, responsable toujours prêt à nous aider et soucieux de notre bien être et de rendre nos vacances idéales. Et Dieu sait s’il y est parvenu : nous ne le remercierons jamais assez. L’hôtel a de belles infrastructures et certains endroits font penser à un agréable petit village. Nous avons préféré la plage à la piscine toujours bondée ou à la piscine pour enfants et ses toboggans un peu vieillissants. Au final, l’hôtel a plein d’atouts réels mais gagnerait vraiment à rendre les choses plus claires en passant à un vrai all in ou une demi pension ; tout en gardant la qualité des restaurants (une vraie force) Au final, l’hôtel a plein d’atouts réels mais gagnerait vraiment à rendre les choses plus claires en passant à un vrai all in ou une demi pension ; tout en gardant la qualité des restaurants (une vraie force)

I had the pleasure of staying at Grecotel Creta Palace from August 14th to 18th, and it was an unforgettable experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always made me feel welcome. The hotel’s gardens are beautifully maintained, creating a relaxing and refreshing atmosphere. The beach is simply stunning – clean, golden sand and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. I truly enjoyed every moment of my stay and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Crete. —

This family hotel in the heart of Crete is amazing - you will be well looked after from the time that you arrive to the time you leave. Restaurants and bars have a great selection of dishes and drinks , whether you visit them for lunch or dinner and the views from them all are breathtaking. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Definitely the highlight of our stay was the ‘Full moon party'' A day and a stay to remember. We will be back!

Wow. What an incredible experience. Trust me read on. Cards on the table, we love Crete it’s where we have our family holidays and we prefer Grecotel. Bearing that in mind, we have stayed at other Grecotel before as well as independent hotels. Creta Palace in Rethymnon is bar far the best for us as adults and as a family with a discerning 9 year old boy. First and foremost the staff here are fantastic. Antigoni, Charis and Ioanna go above and beyond in care and hospitality. We were genuinely welcomed and cared for. Everyone we have met or spoken to have been polite and genuine. The hotel itself is a marvel with spacing and design such that at no point do you feel crowded. When we stayed at the hotel it was at capacity, and yet, there was no hunt for sun loungers or space and a drink was a look and a nod away from the staff who worked non stop. The main pool has enough space and separate premium loungers if you so choose, the pool has direct line of sight to the sea so there is a constant breeze. The child pool is waist deep and has two slides big enough for kids to tire themselves out. The discerning 9 year old enjoyed the kids club and staff who were friendly and engaging with all the kids. The food. Again this excelled above the usual, there are 3 restaurants that you can book for and the main restaurant. Everything is fresh and replenished constantly with great variety. Huge king prawns for lunch ? Why not, beef wellington or fresh grilled red mullet for dinner? Of course. The restaurant and dining area again is laid out in a very clever way, there was always space, always shade if you wanted it. Staff always attentive. My wife and I don’t drink but drinks are plentiful and the bar well stocked, pages and pages of cocktails and spirits are available, if you are on the “comfort package” (all inclusive) 90% is included unless you wanted Yamazaki or Blue label for example. The accommodation is clean bright and spacious. Everything is well maintained and looked after, we went for the superior bungalow so the boy could have his own separate room adjacent to ours and we were all very happy. So, how can I sum this up ?as I said we love Crete but try different places looking for the one. We are so taken with this place as a whole that we have immediately booked the same hotel again for next year. No hesitation. It’s always an important decision, it’s a massive expense to go on holiday. But to book again felt like an investment in good memories.

This salon is a hidden gem inside the hotel. Super clean, beautifully designed, and the staff couldn’t be more polite. Anna did my hair and she’s just the best. My hair looked flawless and stayed perfect for days. You can tell they use premium products. Loved every minute!
