Where to stay in Kolymbari

We stayed at Galini Palace Hotel — overall, it’s a great option for a relaxing vacation. The staff are very friendly, always ready to help and accommodate guests. Room cleaning was done regularly, and towels were changed every day. The food was varied, with a beautiful buffet-style presentation — there’s something for every taste. The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and spacious, and the rooms with...

Friendly staff, lovely room with comfy beds,all round very clean, lovely food!

Generally a nice stay. General cleaning and maintenance needs improvement. Nothing terrible but given price and 5* needs improvement. Staff friendly. Food nice. Drinks okay. Main pool area nice.

Location was pretty amazing for us, they have a nice pool and a lot of options for kids and adults, and the sea is there with a minute walk. Everything seems new and the staff were polite and helpful. Drinks were awful unfortunately, bad quality, extra sweet even if you asked them to put less syrup, tap water served all the time. No bottled water offered on daily basis in the rooms. We visited for...

The hotel is amazing. The staff is really nice and the location is amazing - it is literally on the beach. The food is really good, usually when I stay in hotels the food is basic but here I feel like every meal comes straight from an amazing restaurant - it is amazing. The rooms are spacious and modern. The place is so big and has so many activities that me and my friend spent the whole first night...

We would gladly come back! We had a wonderful stay at Galini Palace Hotel. The hotel was very comfortable, with a great pool and a fun water park that we really enjoyed. All of the employees were kind and welcoming, especially Mohamed, the restaurant server – his smile, excellent service, and kindness made our experience even better. The only small downside was that we expected a bit more variety...

Amazing hotel, staff were so lovely! The food is very tastey and flavourful. The pools were abit cooler but still okay to have a swim in. The rooms are amazing, the staff upgraded us and we had our own plunge pool which was a nice bonus. The spa facilities are brilliant and the massages are amazing. Will definitely be staying here again. Thank you so much!!!!

Really nice hotel which was let down by management deciding to start shutting down the resort for the end of season half way through our stay. Two of the three non-buffet restraints had closed 3 days before our departure . Spin and other classes finished 4 days before our departure.

Very stylish, looks like new. Extensive large pool are and the beach. Food was amazing and there are 4 restaurants for dinning. We loved the Asian restaurant, very high quality. Overall great holidays!

Fantastic stay Amazing stay! It’s got the environment, pool, food, children’s play area and waterpark

Next time I go, I think I'll plan to stay a little longer. It was so comfortable and nice that I almost regretted my short stay. The pool was much longer and larger than it appears in the photos, and I was impressed by the design, which allowed everyone in the room to enjoy the pool close to home.

The hotel is really great, with beautiful sea views and a super large swimming pool. The children had a lot of fun. The all-inclusive service allows you to enjoy drinks and food anywhere in the hotel. Every waiter is very friendly and enthusiastic. The room is large and has an extra-large sofa. I slept very comfortably. I felt very sorry for only booking one night. I must stay a few more days next...

We had an amazing stay. Everything was great - the staff were very friendly, the room and hotel was super clean, and the food was tasty as well. We can't complain and will return.

I had a wonderful time at the hotel! I loved the spa, the pool and had the best night sleeps! It is a shame that the main restaurant does not serve a real espresso from ground coffee beans as it would have been nice to enjoy a good cup of coffee with the wonderful breakfast, but despite this, I will happily return to the hotel

Excellent Service. Excellent resort and facilities. Great selection of food, very clean rooms, tidy pool areas. Very friendly and accommodating staff from the reception to the dining areas. An excellent resort to relax in comfort. Will visit again. Deserves its 5 star rating.

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The property was well maintained and beautiful. The staff from housekeeping, bar, concierge, wait staff to front desk were fantastic. They all went out of their way to make you feel welcomed and valued. Thank you all for an enjoyable time.

Great hotel Great hotel with many facilities. Lots of pools, nice spa, great gym and nice grounds. The restaurants are good and many options. Unfortunately they don’t label the foods in the buffet well. This makes it hard for vegans, people with allergies etc, I am sure they could do a little better on this!

Fantastic room and stay in a private pool suite in the Residences. Amazing meals in local restaurants!

An amazing stay! The place is well located, in a quiet area away from the busy town, but right across from a bus stop that can take you to Chania centre for €3.20 (very convenient). The hotel is something out of the “White Lotus” series; fantastic pools, right in front of the sea, great restaurants, and best of all; amazing staff. Everyone is sooooo friendly that you literally feel like hugging them...

Really good food. Gym above average Like the ground room with its own pool Personnel was really great

Feel rather disappointed that we were sold this holiday as a 5 star hotel never in this world is it!! I have been in better 4 star hotels than this. Our Bedroom although big was very dark and extremely tired The bathroom was in need of attention black mould around the bath and shower, there was a leak from the shower that ran by the toilet Hotel was full of Lycra clad Swedish/Danish who were loud...

Im a bit late writing this as we stayed in October but just wanted to again thank all the wonderful staff at this hotel for your kindness and care during our holiday. Day 2 my holiday changed drastically as I had an awful fall out in Chania and ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of the week as couldn’t walk! I am usually very active so this was so upsetting however the staff couldn’t have been...

We have just spent a week at Cavo Spada and we absolutely loved it! We arrived very late at night and were given bottles of water and there were fresh snacks in our room. The room was fantastic. Spacious, clean, big balcony overlooking the sea and the mountains and the bathroom is enormous with a bath and shower cubicle. We were All Inclusive and the food was delicious. I am a vegetarian and the...

What a lovely and relaxing place to stay. There is nothing much around and that makes it peaceful. The hotel staff are so helpful and friendly. Customer service is their highest priority. We had a room where you could walk out to the main pool and this was fabulous. We could also see the beach from our terrace. Pool bar excellent and pool area only had 40 minutes when Aqua aerobics was on. The rest...

Very beautiful hotel with polite service. Food are very delicious but the only downside was its repetition. Swimming pool and slides are very funny. Animators complemented each day with cool attractions. Rooms and hotel are very clean, comfortable and beautiful. In the hotel there are so many flowers which caused a positive vibe.

We had a great time in Crete at Chrispy water world hotel. The location was a bit distant but walking to the near by village didn't take long but it was pretty local, there were not so much tourist stores there, which was a good thing. But it was easy taking the local bus to Chania, Agia Marina or Platanias to visit tourist stores and places. The local bus whent every 20 minutes. The resort was nice...

Really liked this hotel, everyone was nice to us. Really liked all the activities that we had. Thanks Luca or Luka i dont know jow its right, thanks julia thanks maxu and everyone😁. Really enjoyed time here. I recommend this to everyone.

Luka and Julia made our trip the best trip ever! They are the best animation team I ever meet! They made our week❤️ They make the experience so much better.

Luca & Julia and their colledgues was amazing. My 5 yesr old told me that ”Luca is hos friend”. They made the whole family to feel welcomed and happy, Young as old. Luca and Julia was amazing. The room at the hotell has more to ask for and it was super wierd that the waterpark closed 1 hour because of ”lunch break”.

Food was good, people were very nice, drinks could be better; my head hurt after it. Nice shop with normal prices. The animators Luka, Rebecca, and Julia were super nice and kind people. Greetings from Mailo 🇵🇱🇵🇱

This is my second time at the villa. My family love the food, staff, and the area.Just all around top notch service anf facilities.

Highly recommended to the travellers valued at 'healing' and 'relaxation'

We had a lovely relaxing week here as a family of 4 with 2 adult children. We had intended to use the sofa bed in the lounge but they had put an extra bed in the single room for us. It was a bit of a squeeze but they only used the room for sleeping. We found the staff to be very welcoming and helpful. We had an issue with our villa pool as it wasn’t filtering but they were quick to resolve the problem...

Lovely place lovely people. If you want to get away from the mob this is the place. Beautiful setting. Lovely food. Reception were very helpful as were all the staff. Only negatives I have are the Villas are up a big hill so have a car or be fit. Also the pool at the villa wasn’t ready (on and cleaned) on the Saturday we arrived, wasn’t sorted until we said something on the Monday. But was sorted very...

We decided to return to Spilia village after sick a great holiday last year, not an easy decision as we had such high expectations from 2024. It didn’t fail to disappoint. It was really nice to see the same staff members that made us feel so welcome the previous year with special mention to Manos, Gen, Miranda and Dora who made our stay feel so special. Once again, service, food, setting and amenities...

A wonderful hotel with a beautiful pool area. Breakfast offering was excellent and high quality. Staff were super friendly. Would happily stay again.

On arrival we were shown to our room which was not the sea front suite that we had paid for!! On complaining we were told that it would be ready the next day which of course was totally unacceptable. We had to insist on speaking to the Manager who was hiding in his office behind reception and would have heard our conversation with the receptionist. He offered us an upgrade on our board which financially...

Where do I start. We arrived early hours of the morning. It was our honeymoon and when we got to the room they had decorated the door with a bow champagne and a love heart cake which was lovely. Rooms was always clean. Food was amazing always something to eat. Andreas the bar man is fantastic always welcoming in fairness all the staff are but he stood out from the rest. Loads of pools to chose from...

This was our 2nd visit and we were welcomed like family ,everything was beyond expectation ,amazing accomodation, staff who more than go the extra mile ,food is outstanding, choice was fabulous , absolutely nothing to fault .we are about to book again for next year

A bit late in posting this review, we visited the hotel in May, for 14 nights and had a wonderful time. Our room was lovely, fantastic view , the bar staff were always friendly whether down at the pool bar , or in the main bar in the evening (Kostas) . Service at breakfast, lunch and evening was always good and enjoyed our conversations with Matao. We really enjoyed the food could not fault anything...

This was our first visit after our friends had recommended the place. We went in October with them and we were not disappointed the room was great the staff are just amazing in all aspects of the hotel from House keeping /restaurant /reception and bar we could not find fault with anyone they are all a credit to the establishment and the owners and or bosses should be proud of their staff they make...

Fantastic adult only hotel, the staff were amazing from welcoming us to the resort to leaving the bar staff made sure we were looked after..even going the extra mile to go to their sister hotel before work to ensure I had my favourite drink in to last for the delivery. Its the little touches that made it for us ..we met fantastic guests and danced or chatted the night away. Natasha is just wonderful...

We had a wonderful holiday in Crete. We explored many places and really enjoyed the beauty of this island. The White Pearl Resort is a lovely place to stay – the staff are exceptionally friendly and always ready to help with anything you need. The only small suggestion would be to provide a bean coffee maker instead of instant coffee. Otherwise, everything was perfect and we would be happy to come...

Super 🤩 It was excellent, very clean room and all it needs was completely satisfied We will recommend this hotel to our friends

I sincerely recommend this hotel! Together with my boyfriend, we are absolutely delighted with both the hotel itself and the wonderful staff. From the very beginning we felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of. The room was comfortable, clean, and cozy, and the atmosphere of the whole place made our stay truly relaxing. The service was professional, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile...

Great place for chillout with perfect service and food. Really nice beach and great swimming pool. Restaurant with beautiful view every time during the day.

The hotel was very clean, the staff incredibly friendly, and the food absolutely delicious – drinks too! We would be more than happy to come back here someday

It was the best service ever! Everyone was amazing. The waitresses, bartenders, even the cleaning personnel was service minded! Thank you Sophia❤️ Everything was taken care of, so you could have a relaxing vacation without worrying. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. If I’m ever going to Greece again I will come back here.

Very friendly staff, you can feel like at home!

We were there in the ending of August, it was really nice, the weather was good, the place was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they helped us finding the bus, and recommended bars and restaurants. The bartender was also really good, and sweet. The breakfast was fine, it could be better, but it was still good (they had a shocking good lemonade). The hotel is located in Kolymvari...

The hotel is old, but great especially for the price - nice pool and bararea. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Overall a great stay

It's an old hotel but the service is good. rooms cleaning every dag and the breakfast is very good. the staff are very friendly. The location of the hotel is so and so coz its not near to the beach . it takes about 15 min to go to the beach. a very near supermarket and the bus station too.

Clean room. Small pool area but always a free sunbed. Not very silent in the rooms and close to the main Road (noice). Breakfast is not amazing, not bad. Bed is comfortable. Amazing staff that are helpfull. And only 15min walk to a lot of restaurants

Family hotel, in an excellent position to visit the most beautiful beaches by renting a car. Super breakfast, comfortable room, clean and complete with everything you need. Very friendly staff. Excellent for a relaxing holiday as it is located in a less chaotic location!

This hotel is a 3 star. It stands up above many 3 star hotels. Being so small (47 rooms ) it obviously can’t stand up to the large hotels in some areas. Of course there is only one restaurant and one swimming pool! In every thing that concerned us it was very good. The rooms and public spaces were always clean. The pool areas were comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful even though we visited...

Lovely hotel. Staff friendly and very helpful. Room cleaned daily, spotless. Shower room was dark as it had floor and up to ceiling modern charcoal colored tiles, still dark with light on! All areas very clean with well maintained pool. We were all-inclusive, never had to queue or wait for a table at meal times. So good, we've booked to go back next year.

We have just had a 10 day holiday here, (23rd September-3rd October),and really enjoyed our stay, despite badly spraining my ankle on the fifth day!! The staff are all lovely and Katerina on reception was extremely helpful and kind after my accident. I was given ice packs and a bandage, and she even put it on for me. She helped with local information and organised car hire. Emmanuel on the desk in...

Just back from Mrs Chrysannas. The hotel was very pretty and spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As we arrived late 1am, there was no-one to meet us, but our key and directions were left at the front door and we checked in fully the next day. The room was spacious, had a good sized balcony with sea view, but was in the shade all day and the room lacked storage for our clothes...

We stayed here with my mom for one night, and we were absolutely delighted with this hotel. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was special. The location is perfect—set in a peaceful village, just a one-minute walk to a wide, spacious beach with easy access to the water. The room was spotless, freshly renovated, and even smelled pleasant. We had a large balcony with a table, and everything was...

Small little cute hotel on edge of the town near pebble beach Very clean rooms and bathrooms Good quality linen Good breakfast Nice place to sit out Nice pool and bar Good size bathrooms Ample place to park The staff was also helpful A little far from main town for a walk in night from beach restaurants

The staff at Aphea Village were excellent. Nothing was to much for them to do for us. From reception to bar staff - they were amazing. I would definitely recommend as the view from the pool and the rooms were breath taking. The food from Bizous bar and variety of drinks available were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay with you. Thanks 😃

What a lovely gem of a hotel, great views over the sea, lovely pool/bar area, super friendly staff, great room with air con & room safe included. Ten minute stroll from a lovely beach & a handful of tavernas along the beach, ten minutes stroll from the village centre with a super market for all your provisions, a bakery and a few more tavernas & a couple of grill bars. We will definitely be returning

Hello, We just wanted to thank you for the warm welcome. We had a wonderful stay at your hotel. The place is beautiful, the view was absolutely stunning, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism. We would be happy to come back!

The whole staff was very nice. The hotel is close to the city and the airport. There is a direct connection to the beach and a supermarket very close by. The owner was very nice to us and helped us a lot

Just spent a week at Aphea and what a lovely week we had , yes the rooms need a little updating but we knew what we were getting from the photos before we came . Perfect location with the beach just down the hill and many restaurants along the beach side . Hotel staff are very friendly and very helpful nothing was too much trouble , we only had to ask once ( ie- for a kettle and extra bedding) and...

We stayed for 8 nights a week or two ago, arrived late due to flight delays and there was an envelope with apartment key and map attached to the Reception door which was handy. The 2 room apartment was fine but slightly dated and dishevelled, however all completely serviceable. There is no kettle or, in our flat anyway, no sharp knives to cut food, prep veg etc Bought some cheap ones at a supermarket...
