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.

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.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Grecotel! Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite, and it exceeded all our expectations. The room was simply fantastic—spacious, beautifully designed, and the view was absolutely breathtaking.

The extra room in the suite was a game-changer, giving us a comfortable space to relax while our baby was sleeping. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setup.

The facilities at the hotel were equally impressive. The pools were pristine, the playground was perfect for our little one, and the breakfast was simply amazing—anything you could possibly imagine was there, and it was all delicious.

Overall, our experience at Grecotel was outstanding, and we can't wait to return!

Me and my family love this hotel. It is probably the best family vacation we have had so far. It is a little pricey, but it's totally worth it. The food is delicious and the location is excellent! If anything, I'll probably recommend improving the kids pool area. Other than that, everything was great.

This hotel is a true gem! Suitable for all generations - a lot of activities for families with children, as well as lovely options for couples including nice dining spots and cocktails. The beach is large with plenty of sunbeds, great service at the Beach bar as well. Attention to details is absolutely amazing - especially when it comes to Housekeeping and room cleaning. Beautiful towel decoration and fresh flowers. The location is just 10 minutes away from Rethymno old town with plenty of shops and restaurants. The staff is very polite and always happy to assist. Happy to return here!

Lovely service, great space, beautiful view. The beach/sea isn’t the nicest for Greek standards but it’s still quite lovely. It’s deep so not ideal with toddlers/ young kids.

I would have loved some traditional Cretan food options in one of the restaurants and a few more options for food at the beach.

The staff were delightful and rooms were kept very clean throughout our stay.

Staff and food are excellent. Hotel is clean and beautiful. Rooms are good but there are little ants in the room. The other negative point is that neither the outdoor restaurant nor the indoor spaces are air conditioned. You are all in sweat while dining. For half board package you should pay for all drinks even for water. No daily water in the room. The beach is rocky, you need shoes to enter the water. There are free little lunch and snacks for kids. No music around the pool. 2 slides and a small pool for kids. Showers available around the pool and the beach. Towels freely available. Mini market inside the hotel.

We are definitely coming back!

We visited not to long ago, got to say on arrival looks amazing very pretty. Staff seemed friendly. Then it started when we walked in our room. Ants…. We arrived so late we thought we might as well just deal with it tomorrow ( also had our two kids with us ) so we just got on with it. The next day there was literally a nest in our room. Was disappointed. Explained to staff but all they seemed to have done was clean it with water… ants returned again. Was told there was no chance of moving rooms. Thanks but no thanks I got. Then after that we had to just deal with it. Cockroaches in our bathrooms. Then throughout the week the ants kept coming back. At one point was all over our bathroom sink and toothbrushes. Another thing that was really bad in all fairness I didn’t report this one but there is two pools. A adult one & a child one which most kids 4 upwards could stand in with 2 water slides. THE LIFEGUARD. WHO is meant to be watching and on guard literally sat on his phone all day. I’m gonna upload videos but it was so bad, a child’s pool also!!! He never said hi just ignore everyone. The one thing I will say that is good about the hotel is it has a shop that has everything in it. Also had a spa which is nice if you are getting treatments, I will say though it’s all MEN , so if you are a lady, be a warned it will be a man massaging you which I know not a lot of woman like. The food was actually amazing for a all inclusive, a lot of variety & the food standard was amazing. In my opinion this hotel isn’t a 5 star rooms are more like a 4. I’ll upload photos. I’ve seen you can’t upload videos but the vids are worse of the bugs. I’ve had to screen shot them but honestly didn’t get offered anything for all this which we paid around 6k for.

Disappointed.
