We loved our stay at Creta Palace, it was our honeymoon and the hotel so kindly upgraded us to a family suite on arrival which was beautiful.

Outstanding and memorable stay with Creta Palace

Absolutely incredible from arrival to departure. What stood out for us was the friendliness of all staff, the cleanliness of the whole place, the maintenance of the grounds and the quality of the food. We only did breakfast but wish we had done all inclusive. Absolutely outstanding and exceptional service. A nice touch was the offer of drinks on arrival. The hospitality all around was amazing and we already can't wait to return. Thank you

​This was our second summer in a row at Grecotel Creta Palace, and once again, our holiday was just perfect. Creta Palace has truly become our second home and our own "little" paradise in Crete—a place where we haven't just made memories, but where we have found true friends and a real family. ​Beyond the beauty of the resort, its sublime recent renovation, and the amazing brand-new aquapark, it is genuinely the team that gives this place such a unique soul and endearing charm. Their warmth, daily care, and unmatched hospitality make every single moment special. ​A massive thank you to Dimitrios, Georgios, Chef Nikos, Anna, Pavlos, Angelo, Paris, Olga, Maria and the many others whose names we might have missed, but whose kindness touched us deeply. ​Thank you all for making our holiday magic once again—we already can't wait to come back! ​Leonard & Family
