3 star hotels in Panormos

I have to agree with a lot of the other reviews on this place it really is a hidden gem, situated in the heart of panormos a stone's throw from the beach and Tavernas it is one of the most relaxing places you can visit, the rooms are basic but immaculate all with a balcony and all you need whilst on holiday, the breakfast is a mixture of items that are baked by Maria who for us is the star of the show...

We had a delightful family holiday here: Comfortable, relaxing and an amazing view from our balcony!

My daughter and I had a wonderful week here at Marelina Villas. It was lovely and quiet, the rooms were basic but clean. The staff (especially Athena) were great. Breakfast was good (especially the yoghurt)! Panormo itself is really charming, as are all the people. Lovely restaurants in the village and the sea is wonderful!

I stayed at Marelina villas for a week in July with my mum, and it was absolutely lovely. We had room 115 which was so special as it looked directly out to the sea, and also meant you could step out to the breakfast terrace in the morning. And on that note, breakfast was delicious. Everything was fresh, and a mix of continental and fresh poached eggs. The room was really clean and spacious, with comfortable...

Lovely, Small Village Hotel. Spacious, clean apartments, friendly people, top service, beautiful homecooked breakfast. Quiet and picture perfect spot on harbour front in the east end of Panormos. Village and beaches in walking distance. If you want the best of Crete, no fuss, quiet and friendly atmosphere- this is a gem 🇬🇷💙

The Greek people working here are very nice! It seems to me they are always ready to do something more for the guests. The view is great. I also like the level of hygiene. There's a small but cosy yard with a pool.

Good hotel next to the sea The hotel is really close to the shore. There is a little private beach but it is full of rocks and pebbles. If you want to snorkelling it is a good place with many waves and clear water. The room wasn't appropriately clean but they cleaned every day and if we needed something, they helped. The breakfast was good especially the beans and fruits. We booked a sea-view room...

Basic hotel located near the sea without any beach nearby. Diner was simple. You absolutely need a car for going outside.

It’s a sweet small hotel run by Stella and her family! Service is great, the food (all home made by Stella herself is fantastic. There are some stairs but no elevator. The pool is as the picture promisses….fantastic with a breathtaking view! It’s 5min away from the fishersvillage Panormo with lots or great restaurants to choose from. If there is 1 thing i would recommend to change is to keep the bar...

What a fabulous find. A lovely friendly family run hotel, nothing is too much trouble. We booked a basic room which was lovely and clean for myself and my daughter. We were very happy with it but then we had trouble with the shower and toilet. The staff resolved it immediately with no fuss and an apology. We were upgraded to a higher standard room. This was fabulous. The fact that there was no fuss...

A great friendly relaxing place to stay. Will definitely be back here in the future . Food is very good and great value. Clean well run and Stella is a great host and fun to be around . Would recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway.

Such a lovely hotel! The hotel owner was very attentive and just the loveliest. The view is amazing and so is the pool and the food! Me and my boyfriend stayed for 10 nights and we will definitely be going back.

It seems this great hotel is no longer open to tourists. hopefully this may change one day as it had a very friendly vibe, and the food was excellent

Excellent few days away as a group of 14 of us - Ralph and his colleagues looked after us brilliantly - accommodated us with seating us altogether . Breakfast was delicious every morning, dinner options were lovely too. The roof top swimming pool and chill out area was beautiful and the sauna was hugely appreciated . Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable . The location of the hotel is perfect within...

We really enjoyed our stay at Kirki. A big shout out to all staff there who were very friendly & welcoming, working hard to make our holiday great. A special mention goes out to Toto, who lit up our day / evening , a gentleman and a real character who left guests smiling and laughing in his wake . We had a room with a sea view which I would recommend over the inland view, which was regularly cleaned...

Such a beautiful relaxing hotel. The restaurant staff couldnt do enough for you, and always did the little extra to make sure youre comfortable. Pool was lovely and clean, our room was especially clean and fresh! The air conditioning was 100% the BEST! Room got cleaned daily. Great access to lots of excursions through Dimitris in the reception. The village of Panormo was so charming and beautiful,...

Hi,I really recommend this hotel for everything: quite place and very nice ,friendly staff. How can you ask for more when you have everything in one spot plus the beach very close only 10 min walk. We will be back for sure! Thank you very much Kirki village,kind regards from Ramona and Paul!

So charming, amazing friendly staff, Brilliant service, great food, comfortable clean room with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Hidden gem and handy for exploring East or West Cretan coast.

Been there. Great location, everything is nearby. Loved the sun, the see the hotel. Very peaceful. Will visit again. We are happy!

Excellent place with so amazing views and fantastic food and drinks . The staff is so helpful like nowhere else in Europe. We thank you the management and each member of the people working here. Nice location in Bali

Wonderful stay! The hotel is beautiful, the meals were tasty, and the staff were extremely friendly and polite. Great value for money — definitely recommend!

Food is ok, limited drinks and times. WiFi very sporadic and not great. Staff gerally ok, most are a little miserable. Lobby is like a waiting room. Restaurant is like a canteen, but plenty of food. No real desserts tk speak of. Rooms are ok, if you can climb 150 plus steps up a mountain, we were able to change, but still loads of steps. Not a lot to do in the area, and little to no entertainment in...

Such beautiful hotel with a very good rooms, very tasty food and very very good staff, we will come back🥹❤️ Thank you very much

This place is classified as a 4-star hotel; however, my partner and I's experience did not meet our expectations of a 4-star hotel, but rather a 3-star hotel (since you have to pay a hotel tax, it makes quite a difference). We rented a room with a private pool. The private pool was dirtier, where the water bordered the edge, it was quite green and the fence to the pool area did not have a gate. The...

Firstly, as other reviews state, yes it is a mainly French hotel but they animation team were very inclusive and the guests were all friendly and how hard is it for us English to say bonjour with a smile? The hotel is superb, we didn't pay tourist tax and the safe in the room was included. The WiFi is fantastic and all of the staff were great and help is always available. The food is what you would...

The actual hotel, accommodation, food all of a good standard, the Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. The main problem was that the Animation team were all French and everything was spoken in French ( with the odd English word thrown in) all the games were conducted in French, but as the hotel was over 90% French they really enjoyed it, but we felt excluded. Before and after the sessions, the animation...

Hotel Resol has a family atmosphere, it is not a luxury hotel, but everywhere is clean and the staff is friendly. The rooms are modern, the advantage is that some have a private jacuzzi or pool. The location of the hotel is especially great, it is close to the beach and the center. As for the food, which is often criticized, the food was always fresh, tasty, everyone could choose from various side...

Well we read a few mixed reviews so was a little unsure of what we were going to get. I went with my mum and my young son. During our stay it was mostly French holidaymakers, this just ment the staff spoke mostly French and very little English. But everyone was polite and friendly. The entertainment wow what to say it was done by a small team but the energy put into it was amazing. I would just love...

We had a fantastic 6 night stay at the Resol Hotel. We stayed the room with private pool. Room was nice and clean. The hotel location is superb...Bali village with sea and hill views, and within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, shops, beach when walking the main street in front of the hotel. In beautiful sandy Livadi beach sun loungers & parasols provided free by hotel. (6 min walk) All inclusive...

We loved our stay at the Ormos Atalia Aparthotel. It suited us perfectly and we had a brilliant week's holiday there. The location was exactly what we wanted, close to good beaches, a lively harbour, great restaurants, bars and cafés. Balí had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. The Ormos Atalia hotel has a great swimming pool with gorgeous views over the bay. We loved the breakfast and dinner...

We were a large family group staying in a nearby hotel (no pool or bar) Unfortunately we had to check out at 11am but couldn’t get into our following accommodation until 4pm We chanced upon Ormos Atalia as and asked reception if we could use the facilities for the afternoon, there was a small charge but the lady on reception was just so nice and couldn’t do enough for us, I wouldn’t hesitate recommending...

I stayed at the Osmos travelling alone great rooms in a top notch part of Bali, close to the centre and all the beaches. There is a hill to get to it but you can take steps or gradual lane. Lovely views across the bays and the mountains. Staff really friendly and very helpful, rooms very clean , basic bathrooms but totally functional and all you need for a holiday. Food is traditional greek lovely...

Recently stayed for a week with husband and our 9 year old son. The views are incredible for a start, the staff are Friendly and helpful, the food although not much variety for 2 vegetarians was tasty, would suit meat eaters. Food was fresh though, breakfast expecially was lovely, the pool area is so chilled out, quiet and relaxing. There are cats roaming the grounds who we loved fussing a feeding...

We have had the best time staying at this Hotel. Laki and Christiana are truly amazing and have made our Holiday, nothing was ever a issue. Room was lovely and views are breathtaking. We will definitely be back Next year.

The views from this hotel are amazing. Rooms are fit for purpose we had everything we needed. Pool area was nice and clean. Food was OK including meat dishes and vegetarian dishes, my two criticisms would be that there wasn't any signs telling you what each dish was, and not a great selection of puddings, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Came to Astrid many years ago,and absolutely loved this place,and the owners,Demitri and his lovely wife.The food was Authentic and delicious we ate there every night, we planned to come back every year but Andrw became quite poorly and ended up with a kidney transplant,but I would recommend this beautiful place,it was family run back then ,no noisy holiday makers very peaceful and clean and if...

We enjoyed our week long break in this lovely, family-run hotel. Our room was modern and comfortable. Cleaning standards were high. Breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice. We liked the idea of going to the hotel's beach taverna for dinner and didn't find the evening walk a problem, although the hotel does offer a free minibus shuttle for those who would prefer a lift. The view from the...

Lovely family run hotel in a great location, easy to walk to the beach, supermarket and a few other restaurants nearby. Hotel was very clean and staff were so friendly. Eva was so helpful in explaining the bus services so we went to Rethymno and Ponormo which were both lovely! Breakfast at the hotel was really good and we ate a la carte at the restaurant most days, the food was lovely and fresh and...

This hotel is run by a family. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and polite. The rooms were cleaned almost every day, and all the communal areas, including the pool area, were meticulously clean and tidy. The breakfast buffet was the same every day, but there were plenty of options to choose from. The pool side bar had a good range of drinks and snack food options to buy. Dinner is served in the...

Stayed in room 109, which is at the back, so no noise from pool bar, minimal road noise. I like smaller, family run hotels as they are less crowded and you feel like you get a more personal service. Eva remembered our room number from day one and was very helpful telling us about the bus routes. €2 pp each way for a bus ride to Rethymno and Panorma was great value and well worth doing. All the staff...

A lovely little hotel,well presented & clean. The food was good,both at breakfast & Dinner,not massive choices but adequate for us. Drinks were a little pricey,comparable with Rethymno in the old town. The room was comfortable & clean,no hot water on a morning though. I think the room/toilet waste bins should be emptied every day. A great welcome on arrival was nice & very helpful staff throughout...

We’ve been half board for a week here. It’s been a super week. We’ve used it as a base to visit the island (we booked direct and booked flights and car hire separately), most of the guests here are on AI package breaks. Yes the main hotel is ready for renovation, but it’s been absolutely fine for us. The bathroom has already been upgraded, and everything was super clean and functional. Lots of toiletries...

Beautiful clean hotel, with great amenities and food! We stayed for 7 days - half board, and had a wonderful time. Hotel staff are super friendly and accommodating. The animation team are extremely hard working, providing entertainment during the day and also nightly shows in the theatre. Our stay was topped off with a very well organised Halloween party/disco hosted at the hotel. Highly recommended...

Returned again to a hotel where there has been major upgrading over half of the site plus the addition of new facilities - but where the high quality of the staff team remains as the major selling point as they are just terrific across the board. There is now a water park that was completed in May/June 2025 and it is a great facility for anyone and particularly those with children. It has a good pool...

Very large hotel and grounds. All very clean and well run. Hotel is on a peninsula by itself so you are a bus ride away from a town with bars and tavernas. There are plenty of pools in the hotel grounds and you have access to the beach and safe swimming areas. Little disappointed that indoor pool was closed on our visit for COVID related reasons, thought those days had passed. Large grounds mean that...

What an amazing stay for 7days. All inclusive. Whole resort is great. Stayed in garden view room. Staff very helpful and friendly. Choice of food was fantastic catering for all tastes. Download the Hotel app to get map and information where pools, bars etc. Location is out of the way. If you want to visit local towns etc prepare to travel for long periods time. Hotel offers all you need to have a relaxing...

we had our Honeymoon in this hotel and happened to have my wife's birthday. The hotel manager sent us a birthday cake and bubble wine as gifts. That's touching! Like this hotel, nice location, nice food, nice staff, extraordinary experience. Recommended with 6 stars!

Wonderful place very friendly staff excellent food and services. Come back again.

Fabulous property! Great room, huge buffet, lots of areas to relax, great beach, helpful staff.

Versatile resort. Very varied buffet and drinks.

We just had our second family holiday at Marine Palace and were once again very happy with everything. The location, the food and service is great!

We have had a great time at this hotel. Plenty of great dining options, multiple swimming pools, sea access was great. Perhaps the biggest highlight was the staff, they were lovely and super helpful any time we needed anything. The only slight negative we found was the lack of lactose-free yoghurt, which was surprising given the multitude of options otherwise. It would have been nice to be able to...

Lovely hotel for a family holiday. Between the pools, water park and beach our water babies were in heaven; with the inclusively priced cocktails we were too! Delicious and great range of food in the buffet. Do book on arrival if want full choice of alternative dining options. Appreciated being able to get snacks for the kids during the day. Highly rate the beach BBQ. Would have enjoyed some music...

Our stay at the hotel was excellent. The setting was very calm. The ideal place to relax. Breakfast was a highlight, with a varied selection of local products that changed daily. The staff were kind, attentive, and highly professional. We definitely recommend it!!

We had a very pleasant stay at Z Boutique Hotel. We enjoyed the quiet and the peace of the hotel. The breakfast is really amazing. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend !

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The atmosphere was peaceful, with a warm and welcoming vibe that felt like visiting a Greek family villa with a pool and beautiful garden. Breakfasts were exceptional – every day offered a different selection of regional products, many of them vegetarian. The staff was both professional and genuinely friendly. Nearby, there are great restaurants and beaches, as...

What an amazing place to stay! This gem is somewhat hidden in the narrow streets of Panormo, but once past the door you enter a fantastic interior. Authenticity and modern accents that fit together seamlessly, light colors, hidden corners and a beautiful garden create a wonderful experience. However, it is mainly the hostesses who ensure that you also experience "Crete". Thank you for your dedication...

We LOVED everything about Z Boutique Hotel The location is perfect - at the quiet end of a street which leads straight into the heart of the beautiful village of Panormos. The hotel itself is tastefully converted with exposed stonework and beautifully decorated and furnished throughout and spotlessly clean. Breakfasts are to die for! The most interesting choice of foods I've ever known on a breakfast...

Recommended by a friend. now recommending ourselves. Great little hotel with very good and friendly staff - Nicky, Julie and Victoria. Situated in small Cretan village with outstanding restaurants, nice shops with small and safe nearby beaches. Weather was very hot which was a welcome break before the winter. Used inexpensive taxis rather than the local buses (overcrowded). Cannot speak too highly...
