What a great hotel rooms are spotless cleaners are lovely even left us a flower on our beds. Food was great plenty of options for everyone. The pool bar is just brilliant there was a young man working there his name is Emiraldo was always so polite and happy always good for a chat the drinks and cocktails were amazing the bar food which we had most days was very favourable. The pool was nice and relaxing with plenty of beds for everyone. The reception staff were always on had to help with all your needs and even upgraded us to a sweet when we arrive we stay in 518 what a great room with a sun trapped balcony the air-conditioning is excellent I really mean that. The room had a TV with all the apps so you can sign into your own account to watch TV. You get room towels and they give you beach towels which is a big help there's a little shop that has snacks which was very handy. I highly recommend this hotel as we felt really at home here. There are numerous restaurants nearby and some lovely beaches within a 5min walk. Thank you for everything ❤️

Immaculate and clean at all times. Extremely attentive and kind staff. We really enjoyed the food and the pool area is so chill. We was relaxed the whole time here. It is easy to get buses into busier towns or to walk to local taverns that are also really lovely. There's not much to do other than chill but it was perfect as we would go on excursions or travel out for more if we wanted more. Would recommend this hotel to people wanting to relax.

We've stayed at CHC Imperial Palace twice now and it's been spot on both times. Great value, clean and modern rooms, friendly staff, and a really relaxing atmosphere. Everything just runs smoothly - from check-in to the food to the pool area. Always happy with our stay here and we'll definitely be coming back again.

Absolutely Terrible Experience – NOT Worth 4 Stars! ★☆☆☆☆ I stayed at this so-called 4-star hotel in Crete and had one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had while traveling. I genuinely regret choosing this place. First of all, my room was not cleaned for three entire days. Even worse, when I asked for it to be cleaned—on my birthday, no less—I was told that the cleaner had already left and because my room was “the last one in the building,” they couldn’t guarantee it would be cleaned at all. That kind of excuse is completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one that claims to be 4-star. Then, there was a Sahara dust storm, which I understand isn’t the hotel’s fault. However, the pool remained full of dust and completely unusable for FOUR days until I left and no effort was made to clean it during that time. Again, completely unacceptable. But the worst part was how I was treated around my half-board booking. I arrived very late—at 4 a.m.—and obviously missed my first dinner. On my last day, I checked out at 11 a.m. and asked if I could have dinner before I left. I was told I’d have to pay 30 euros. I jokingly mentioned I hadn’t had my first dinner anyway, and they very rudely said, “It’s not our fault you checked in late.” No empathy. No flexibility. No care for guest satisfaction. Just a cold, dismissive attitude for what was a basic, low-effort dinner. To top it off, I had to pay 10 euros per night for a tourist tax—which is fine in itself, but when you’re getting this level of poor service, it just feels like another slap in the face. I rarely write bad reviews, but I genuinely want to warn other travelers: do not waste your time or money here. Poor service, rude staff, dirty facilities, and zero effort to make guests feel welcome or valued. Crete is a beautiful place, but this hotel was a huge disappointment.

I genuinely liked this hotel but it had some niggles. The staff are excellent and cannot do enough for you, let’s take nothing away from them. Ground floor room with terrace on main walkway is a no go if you enjoy privacy and don’t want weird eye contact with other guests. Location was the biggest let down for me really and it’s not really the hotels fault, the bus service is really bad, absolutely packed and either very late of early depending on the driver. Obviously the hotel have zero control over the bus service but it should be noted as a problem if you want to get anywhere. Taxis are expensive and a very inconsistent pricing structure so it’s anyone’s guess what you will be charged. We hired a car from the hotel and also had a few days with another company which was great and managed to see places off the beaten path. I found the room set out very strange with the bathroom being part of the room itself with glass partitions that don’t separate the two and there is no extraction so make sure you take air freshener. I fully intend to return here but as with everything new you have to learn what you like/dislike and adapt for next time
