We absolutely loved this place. The welcome was outstanding with just the right amount of information. The activities were discrete, really great and kid's club spot on. Family disco was well handled and the Saolin Acrobats out of this world.
The staff were immaculately friendly, polite and engaged even though our stay was the very last week of the season. Our room was well looked after all week.
It wasn't fully booked as it was Oct-Nov so maybe there was a little more space for everything to happen easily.
We had booked B&B and the breakfasts were varied, plentiful and delicious. Great, fresh food.
The pool is salt water which is so much nicer than chlorine. The loungers were comfy, towels plentiful and there was no banging music (phew!)
It felt really high class and like a luxury stay.
Thank you, Grecotel Creta Palace for a very memorable 5 days.

The hotel would be perfect without families with kids.
As previously mentioned by other guests: they don't allow late check-out, even if you are ready to pay, claiming they are fully booked. All booking websites showed perfect availability of all room categories.
In case you have a late night flight- good luck.

Please be aware that hotel easily downgrades the room and does not offer a different room or even money back. Under all rooms description where you will find the phrase "Room features may differ" means that your room will be easily downgraded and hotel will not even apologize.
We booked a superior family bungalow garden room and expected two separate rooms but received only with one room and a hallway. Of course, there was also only one TV, one wardrobe as well, even if description and floor plan in hotel website showed differently. During our 9 days stay the hotel did not manage to change our room, so I would assume that majority of rooms in this hotel are not according to specifications listed on their web page.
Be careful and I don`t recommend to book this hotel.

Our stay was very nice. The staff in the lobby exceptionally friendly and accommodating. While the room and water slides showed some signs of wear, it didn’t affect our enjoyment—our son had an amazing time! ☺️
