Grecotel Creta Palace

A lovey hotel, located on the beach and about a 40 minute walk from Rethymnon or a €10 cab ride. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the hotel grounds are spotless. Beach towels provided, excellent swimming pool, loungers also available on the beach. Great selection of quality food at the buffet breakfast and at dinner. Shop on site sells all of your holiday essentials. Evening entertainment was very professional. Without exception, all of the staff at the hotel were fantastic. We do not often go back to the same hotel twice, but we would definitely return to the Creta Palace.

Our stay at Grecotel Creta Palace was once again truly wonderful. Each time we return, we appreciate even more the unique charm of this hotel and the unforgettable experiences it creates. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the staff who make the daily holiday experience so special. Special gratitude goes to the housekeeping team – especially Alida – for their care and attention. A big thank you also to Despina from the Beach Restaurant, who provided excellent service with kindness and a smile. We are equally grateful to the gardeners, who keep the hotel grounds beautifully maintained, and to the beach staff, who work every day to ensure the beach remains perfectly clean and inviting. We would also like to sincerely thank the entire restaurant team for their warm service and hospitality – thanks to them we truly felt at home. Thank you also to whole reception and guest relation team. This time we stayed in two beautiful rooms: the Bungalow Suite Beach Front with Private Pool (No. 917) and the Panorama Sea View Junior Suite (No. 415). Both were excellent choices that made our holiday even more special. What makes Grecotel Creta Palace outstanding are the small details – those little touches that, day after day, add up to a truly perfect holiday. We are deeply thankful for the fantastic time we spent here and the warm, professional service we received. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, even to the biggest skeptics – it is simply exceptional. Grecotel Creta Palace is the essence of Greek hospitality, warmth, excellent cuisine, outstanding service, beautifully maintained rooms – and the everyday “Kalimera” always accompanied by a smile.

From the moment we arrived at Grecotel Creta Palace, it felt like stepping into a Mediterranean dream. The warm welcome from the staff set the tone for a stay that was nothing short of exceptional. Every detail—from the manicured gardens to the sparkling beachfront—radiated elegance and care. What truly sets Grecotel Creta Palace apart is the staff. Every interaction felt personal and genuine.

We just had a wonderful last minute stay here as a family.The hotel and our maisonette was beautiful and clean. Breakfast was delicious! Rivalled Gleneagles. Staff were so friendly. and couldnt do more to make you feel truly at home.The kids club was amazing again the staff and facilities exemplary! Well done.👏 We were breakfast only and caught taxis along to Rethymino village to forte and explore the old town and its many amazing restaurants and thoroughly enjoyed the taverna closest to the hotel. The evening up to Agreco farm with dinner was a highlight and true Mama mia dream for the kids with tour of the farm and animals and food 5* with panoramic views! The spa back massage was on special offer and was truly amazing! Thank you Grecotel team for an amazing holiday 😊

I am recently staying in this hotel, great experience, very good family hotel with taste food and very good beach Totally recommend it

Everything was excellent! My wife, my daughter, and I stayed at the hotel for two nights as part of a group of 25 people attending a music event at the nearby Arkadi Monastery. When we stepped off the bus, we simply told the hotel staff which suitcases were ours, and later we found them already placed in our rooms. While our travel agents were collecting our room keys, we were welcomed in the garden with soft drinks. The rooms were spacious and with welcome fruits, sweets and sparkling wine. Very nice gardens, cultivating their own vegetables! Also, a small market like the central square of a small village, with church, kafeneio (cafe) etc. Everything impressive and nice. On both mornings, we enjoyed an excellent and generous breakfast, featuring a variety of Cretan foods. Finally, excellent service from the hotel personnel. I strongly recommend this hotel—if it fits your budget.
