We spent a week at the Grecotel Creta Palace... a beach holiday with Greek hospitality par excellence. From the check in at the reception to the chambermaid to the service in the main restaurant... discreet attention, every wish is anticipated. The breakfast and evening buffet is absolutely top class, tasty and varied. A cocktail in the lobby bar is also a must. The management and the entire team at the Grecotel Creta Palace are doing a brilliant job. The rooms are noble and clean. Nevertheless, the management should ensure that renovation work is carried out in order to continue to meet the 5-star standard in the future.

The Return Again & Again Having been to Grecotel Creta Palace so many times it can be difficult to know what to write. But having just returned from one of the best holidays we have ever had, at this hotel, my wife and I can easily comment about how the entire team works together to ensure every guest has the best holiday that can be achieved. It does depend on you as well as them as how good it can be as if you do not ask they do not know. The entire team for top to bottom allowed us to have such a wonderful holiday and it was such a joy to see everyone working together to that end. The support between members as well as guests is a joy to believe and we cannot wait to get back to enjoy it. The team is lead by someone who shares the care and responsibility for running such a wonderful hotel, as he part of the superb Grecotel Creta Palace Team Sitting at the beach bar, you could be anywhere in the world and it could not be better. It is a struggle to say more as I cannot think how anything can be improved we just love it all

We had a lovely warm welcome on our late arrival by Christos who Food was excellent in the buffet, brasserie and Barbarosa restaurants. The view from the room looked out over the pool and the sea with a lovely spacious balcony where we enjoyed sitting to watch the beautiful sunrises. We recieved a lovely, warm welcome from Christos who took our cases then introduced us to Evelina who was really helpful booking us in and explaining everything about the hotel and the comfort package to us. Comfort package includes : breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main buffet restaurant and a wide selection of good quality wines, cocktails, spirits and soft drinks. Service and friendlies at the brasserie and the Barbarissa restaurant was fabulous (thanks to Katerina, Marina, michelais and Marcos) Daytime activities: Super yoga classes with Kostas were a great start to the day. The little area at the beach with the lovely lady was so relaxing and I'm delighted with the finished painting (ceramic telight holder) Aqua aerobics in the pool was a good work out with a varied music selection and different instructors each day. Photography : we were delighted with the photos Siritis took for us and had fun in the session Service in the main restaurant, beach bar and outside lounge area was a bit slow, there didn't seem to be many staff. I do suggest sitting at the bar in the lobby for the best service and ordering at the bar at the beach bar unless you don't mind a long wait. Sun beds which you didn't have to pay extra for were limited particularly on the beach. Rooms Nice room with a very comfortable bed and a great spacious balcony, lovely view over the pool and the beach. Fridge, coffee machine good sized TV ( not that we watched it) WalkabilityThe beach, closer to the sea, was very pebbly and difficult to walk on for any great distance even with shoes. Our intention had been to walk to Rhythmno although it's possible we decided against it because of the pebbles. Food and drinks Excellent choice of food at the buffet Breakfast: Fresh fruit, yogurts, seeds, nuts Continental style selection and variety of hot plates Lunch delicious salad selections, choice of pizzas, soup and variety of hot plates. Barbarosa seafood restaurant was excellent, enjoyed the seabass, pumping soup and the Tiramasu is one of the best I've ever had. There was a varied wine selection, the Greek wines were very good.
