⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful stay at Athina Palace in Crete! The hotel itself is beautiful, with stunning views and a great atmosphere for relaxation. The facilities were well kept, the food delicious, and the surrounding area is perfect for exploring both the coast and nearby villages. A special mention goes to Sofia at reception, who truly made our stay unforgettable. Her exceptional kindness, warmth, and helpfulness stood out from the moment we arrived. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us great recommendations so we could enjoy the best of Crete. Thanks to her, we felt so welcomed and cared for. We would absolutely recommend Athina Palace to anyone looking for a memorable holiday in Crete, and we’ll definitely be back!

The location is gorgeous! We opted for rooms with a sea view - I recommend it! 5 stars are only worth the location, not the food or the hospitality of the employees towards customers. They argued even with the managers in front of the customers without any embarrassment at all. The culinary options are at most 3 stars, not more. All drinks are in plastic cups. Not even the fruit is freshly served. There is no espresso in the all inclusive, for example. Generally the stuff are French speakers, very few English or German speakers. The few artistic programs are held in French. Of course, this experience will not change our opinion about the wonderful Greek people/country, but I would not recommend this destination to friends.

Disappointing Experience – Not Worthy of 5 Stars I recently stayed at this hotel in Crete and, unfortunately, my experience did not meet the expectations of a 5-star resort. Starting from the first day, I encountered something completely unacceptable: in the minibar fridge of my room, there were a few bottles of water – one of which was filled with seawater. Whether this was a prank by previous guests or not, it is the hotel’s responsibility to ensure the room is properly checked and everything is safe and appropriate for new arrivals. This was a serious oversight and a very poor first impression. The food was consistently below the standard one would expect from a 5-star establishment. Often of very low quality and not fresh, it simply didn’t match the setting or the promises made. Even basic details, such as serving cold water at breakfast during the hot summer season, were overlooked – the water was always warm. As for the staff, my experience was mixed. The older staff members were often unpleasant and, at times, irrational in their approach. Thankfully, the younger team members showed more kindness and professionalism, which was appreciated. It’s truly a shame, because the hotel is in a beautiful location with great potential. Sadly, the poor service and lack of attention to detail ruined what should have been a relaxing holiday. I found myself counting down the days until I could return home – just to enjoy a simple, good coffee. I’m not sure if this reflects the general standard in Greece, or if I was simply unlucky with this stay. But for a hotel that claims to be five-star, this experience was deeply disappointing.

We stayed at the Athena palace well here we go !!! They definitely don’t like the Brit’s rude staff the food I’ve seen better meat served up at London zoo for the animals hygiene what hygiene they had a magic cloth that cleans every table that they keep in there pocket no multi surface cleaner in sight tables always sticky the wine like vinegar everything was the cheapest they could buy 5 star no way 2.5 and that’s being generous all animations are in French so we are not included and cannot join in adult quite pool well again rules very slack children in pool there’s a sign to say no smoking around the pool but the French just left dirty ashtrays under sun beds the sun beds where never cleaned they where dirty I’m surprised people where not ill with Covid room was cleaned every day and the rooms are a long way from dinner hall all up steep hills I must just say the food was the same every day chicken I think and maybe pork what don’t get eaten one day will return the next it could be made into something else or even be served up dry as a bone honestly the food was **** please don’t put yourself through this remember it’s ment to be a enjoyable holiday this place is punishment !!!!!!

The only positive thing I can say about this hotel is that the view is absolutely stunning. It's a real shame that everything else falls so short. Of all the all-inclusive resorts I've ever stayed at (and they are many), this was by far the worst experience. The activities are only is French. The afternoon snacks are incredibly limited, usually consisting of sad, reheated pizza that's been sitting out all day and stale cookies. The lack of pool chairs and umbrellas is a major problem. There are nowhere near enough for the number of guests, which leads to a daily battle for a spot. For our first two days, we had to sit on regular dining chairs with our 2-year-old because there were no lounge chairs available. On the third day, we finally got one by going to the pool very early. But then, in an attempt to "solve" the problem of guests reserving chairs, the hotel took a ridiculous approach. We were at the pool for just an hour, and when we returned, our belongings had been thrown aside and other people were sitting in our spot. The staff told us that reserving chairs wasn't allowed, which is an absurd way to treat paying guests, specially considering we were in the pool!!! To top it all off, the hotel has lots of stairs and is definitely not child-friendly. There isn't even a playground, making it a very difficult place to be with a toddler. The transfer to and from the hotel to the beach is also extremely unsafe. It's done in an improvised truck with no doors, and it's so overcrowded that people are forced to stand while the vehicle is in motion.
