Grecotel Creta Palace

We had a fantastic week here. Excellent service and friendly staff. Food was brilliant with some good variety. Loved the cocktails and variety of wines on offer too. Room was clean and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the evening entertainment, especially the Shaolin Acrobat team. Just a really nice relaxing hotel to be in and around. Easy to get a taxi into Rethymno too for a bit of local culture.

We were in Crete for a wedding and stayed at the Creta Palace. We were traveling with 5 adults and three kids (3, 14 month, and 4 months). I’d have to say the best part of our experience was how accommodating the staff was for our children. For all 7 days of our trip, their staff was incredible and they really make sure the kids can be easily taken care of. Plenty of activities and areas for the kids that are enjoyable for everyone. In addition, the location is not far from other beautiful beach’s as well as the thriving old town. If you’re looking for a place to take the weight of the everyday off your shoulders, this is a great spot.

We had a wonderful vacation at the Grecotel Creta Palace and can highly recommend the hotel. The entire resort is beautiful, very well-maintained, and extremely child-friendly – perfect for families with young children. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The food was fresh, varied, and delicious at every meal. The selection of drinks was also excellent. Our room was stylishly furnished, spotlessly clean, and serviced daily. A special thanks to the amazing hotel staff – everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and eager to accommodate even the smallest request. Thank you for an unforgettable week – we’re already planning our next stay!

Great hotel, beautiful grounds, great beach. The room we booked (garden view) could not keep up with the very modern, new and high-quality facilities and was unfortunately also very noisy. The breakfast buffet was extensive, a very large selection and very tasty, unfortunately with little variety. But that's complaining on a high level, as the dishes on offer were very tasty. Unfortunately, neither the lunch nor the dinner buffet could live up to the breakfast buffet; only the selection of starters and the salad selection was very good. Many of the hot dishes were repetitive and there was a lack of spices. So if you expect a buffet in line with a 5-star hotel, you may be disappointed. The selection of drinks, preparation and service were very good. Great, very courteous service in all areas! Absolutely must be mentioned. All in all, we were very satisfied; and yes, it is perhaps complaining on a high level. If I could, I would give it 4.5 stars, but it wasn't quite enough for the full 5 stars due to the room and buffet situation.

From the moment we arrived at the resort, we were completely blown away by the beauty, hospitality, and attention to detail. This place is truly a slice of paradise. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always ready to go above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Every interaction felt genuine and heartfelt. The room was immaculate, spacious, and tastefully decorated, with breathtaking views that made waking up each morning a dream. The housekeeping team did an outstanding job every day, and we especially appreciated the little touches that made the experience feel so personal. Dining at the resort was another highlight – the variety, quality, and presentation of the food were all five-star. Each meal felt like a special event, and the chefs clearly put a lot of passion into their work. We particularly loved the beachfront dinners and the locally inspired dishes. A special thank you to Nikos for his exceptional kindness and attentive service at the restaurant – he truly made our dining experience even more memorable. The amenities and activities were endless – from the relaxing spa treatments and the crystal-clear pools to the adventurous excursions and watersports, there was something for everyone. We left feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and already dreaming of our next visit. If we could make one small suggestion, it would be to install more effective blackout curtains. In the morning, quite a bit of light came into the room, which sometimes disrupted our sleep. That said, this was a minor detail in an otherwise flawless experience. If you’re looking for the perfect escape with luxury, comfort, and impeccable service, this resort should be at the top of your list. We can’t recommend it highly enough
