Hotels on first line in Greece

Was bought as present for our honeymoon and the room wasn’t the best so I emailed them explaining and next day we got the best upgrade with private pool only thing I’d say is the pool was ice cold, but free robes slippers a bath with an amazing view the food was lovely the staff was amazing the shows were good the bar staff was so lovely and chatty! I’d 100% recommend sad to leave but had the best...

Beautiful hotel and surroundings, the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, the food was superb and freshly made and refreshed in a timely manner, our entire family were extremely happy with the food choices each day and the all inclusive aspect meant we never missed out on any snacks or ice creams around the pools

The hotel is close to the little beach at the bottom of the hill and this is well worth a visit and we often enjoyed a few hours down there soaking up the sun or getting a different view over sunset

The views around the hotel are beautiful, and there’s a stunning beach nearby that made our days even more special

This is a lovely hotel but I wouldn't class it as a 4 star hotel. It is in a beautiful location, stunning views and a quaint little beach in a bay with lots of water activities

We had an amazing holiday in September at this hotel and would highly recommend it for families looking to relax and create unforgettable memories. The hotel itself is lovely and very clean

The place is very clean, stylish and a real 5-star hotel. We went to free Pilates session & cookie session. Service is very accommodating, sauna open specially for us untill 21:00 instead of 18:00

Food is nice but only 1 restaurant available during low season

We enjoyed our stay. All the hotel staff were very attentive and friendly. The hotel is extremely family friendly. The only downside was the limited variety of fruits available at breakfast.

Their caring ladies at the kids club make sure that the kids are well taken care of and occupied with fun activities. The hotel even provides healthy and delicious free meals for the kids

Heaven on earth, we spent Christmas and New Year with you and my husband has not stopped talking about it since. The staff were amazing and went the extra mile on everything

Staff were super helpful and friendly, the hotel is just stunning and everything is comfortable. The rooms could do with a desk, but I think think they want people working. We loved our time and will be back

Great stay, very friendly staff. Food and drinks very good. Plenty of space at the pool and sun loungers on the beach.

We arrived at the hotel and immediately they upgraded our room to a room with a private pool (very nice, but unfortunately not usable). Everything was perfect and appreciated

Food was excellent, great facilities, beach was nice, entertainment was good. Good value for the money.

They accommodated my request to have my room and my friend’s room together. Over all hospital and 5star experience was with Madam Tonia, restaurant manager. Thanks for making my birthday memorable

It's a shame, because these are good quality products! Anyway, this is not a complaint, just sharing our feelings. We definitely recommend the place, and of course we will go back there soon!

Very nice place for families and very nice staff. Walters at the resturant very kind. The cook was very nice also. Great menu and dishes.

Currently sat around the pool here. Amazing hotel run by an amazing family. Super helpfull and friendly.. it'd the percent place to be honest

We had a brilliant 2 weeks at Venezia, the food was amazing, so much choice. The all inclusive drinks were lovely. The entertainment was brilliant, credit to Nino, Rio and the team. The staff are friendly and helpful

The different pools and areas are great when its busy. We had a great time and will be visiting again

One down side was that the poolside bathroom did not have soap for 2 consecutive days. There was a good variety of food and drinks

The first room was okay, but the pool music ran from morning until 11pm, which made it hard to relax — the new room was blissfully quiet in comparison! The staff were wonderful, and the Piazza food court was a brilliant addition

There is a variety of pools, with different atmospheres to suit your taste. Day time activities in the pool were good fun. The waterslides were also great

The guests have sunbeds on the beach and the pools, more than enough if some people didn't take up more sunbeds than they actually needed

The food is varied and very tasty. The hotel staff is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The beach is nicely decorated, clean with good umbrellas and sunbeds

I was really worried before coming because of the bad reviews about mold but we didn’t have any issue of this kind. We’re in a partial view of the sea room and it was great. The room was small but for 2 people was enough

Just one small thing that happened to us, I would prefer delegate someone who is understanding and have more experience, working with people requires helping and supporting basically that’s why you are there and paid for it

We enjoyed ourselves in this hotel. Everything was as it was presented when booking. The hotel is clean, with a nicely arranged yard, with natural shade, which is very necessary for families with children

The hotel is great, but the reviews here are awful for some reason, we would have never stayed here if I only read the ones on Google. The rooms are cleaned daily, the staff is great, food is phenomenal

Beachfront and near to supermarket/ touristy shops, nice walking along the sea road

The fact that it is adults only made this a quiet and peaceful retreat. We had great weather so we were able to take full advantage of the pool and outdoor spaces

Lovely, lovely hotel - clean, well designed, great facilities. Our room was spacious and well maintained with quiet and effective air con - which was brilliant. The food was fabulous and value for money (half board)

We enjoyed the themed evenings whilst still feeling that we could experience local food and drink. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Super service throughout our stay

The spa was fabulous with a wide range of treatments and Katerina was great! No negatives for us - we would be very happy to visit this hotel again

Caveat: I love cats but possibly not the place to go if you are not inclined

What really stood out was the incredible service from all the staff. They were so kind and helpful throughout our stay. The pool food staff were particularly great, handling a special food order for us with a smile

We had a wonderful time at the resort. We enjoyed the spa. The food was very good. We enjoyed the community cats also. We will be back. Nick was a very big help to us throughout our entire stay.

If you're going to Crete and want a 5 star resort then you should consider the Stella Palace. We didn't try the Aqua Park, but from the screams it sounded like everybody was enjoying themselves

Food, staff, rooms and all facilities are great. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The swim-up was fantastic, quiet most of the time and waiter service to pool side was unexpected but appreciated

many sunbeds are already reserved with towels (an issue the hotel could manage more strictly), and in the restaurants some parents let their children watch videos on phones or tablets at high volume

We stayed for a week in a suite with a private pool and loved it. The staff were excellent to a fault, especially the bar staff - couldn't rate them high enough

We were just on bed and breakfast and the breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. There were plenty of sunbeds available, the ones on the beach having mattresses. The gardens were beautiful and so well kept

Everything was very clean and tidy including the beach

Decent hotel, beachfront on the 3. Entry to the water with pontoon

We were transferred to this Hotel as our original accommodation was unable to host us. We were actually really pleased. It's a nice hotel with loads of facilities. The staff on reception were very welcoming

Everything is great about this hotel, enough space, and you have many choices for going dinner even if you aren't all-inclusive. There are 4 pools and one beautiful beach, one playground which is kidfriendly

The beach, the pool, and the resort are lovely. Nice walks, nice sunsets, nice nature. The dinner is pretty good, with plenty of variety. The rooms are very clean, and the room cleaners are doing a great job

We spent 5 days in the Rethymno Palace as a couple, our teenage daughter and 4 of her friends. It's a nice hotel with indoor and outdoor pool and direct access to beach and sea

We booked a massage in the Spa with the very friendly spa manager Hasmik. I got a really relaxing massage from the masseur Stefanos who was able to give me advice for my back problem

Great 5 star resort with a good food and drinks. Perfect pool, beach and entertainment.

This hotel has everything you need for a great relaxing vacation. I had two massages there, and I’ve never been more relaxed thanks to Stefanos and Hosmik

So many places to sit comfortably sun or shade with delicious drinks and food on tap. All dressed smartly and clearly take pride in their work. Beach bar overlooking the sea - utterly idyllic and chic

Fantastic stay at an extremely friendly and professionally run hotel right on the beach. The rooms are spruce, bright and well maintained. We had a view right over the pool and palm trees

The hotel had a lovely relaxed feel to it and meal times were all the better for this. The food was of a high quality and varied through the week we stayed. The quality and variety of meat dishes in particular was noted

The views are gorgeous and you can take a short trip down to beach if you want to. I would highly recommend this hotel but it will cost you quite the pretty penny

The hotel is in a very scenic location, within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The number 21 bus calls directly at the hotel to take you to Chania. The service is regular and good value

The rooms need updating to a degree but are clean and have the facilities you would expect. A refresh would take the hotel to a next level. The staff were all very nice and efficient

You absolutely must book this hotel for the unforgettable panorama and the exceptionally friendly staff, who truly go above and beyond to make your stay fantastic! We stayed in a Panorama Blue room, which also gave us access to the bar and the second swimming pool

We traveled in October, so it was relatively quiet. The breakfast was excellent, and dinner was buffet-style. Not everything was perfect, but there was plenty of choice

The only disadvantage for us was that the beach,( which is really close and you can go in your swim suit and where you have a reserves seat ) is very narrow and crowded with chairs which don't leave the space to feel the sea or even to walk on the beach

After two days, they give us a gift upgrade to the suite with own swimming pool. Also, the hotel is near the beach and pleasure beach. The entertainment in the evening was also nice

5 Stars is less for this Magic Place. You have to be high to stay High Beach ☆☆☆☆☆.

All the resort is beautifully designed and taken care off and very very clean. The resort has 5 pools, usually empty of people in the water but with people on the sunbeds around them

The High Beach Resort is a very well-maintained and visually appealing hotel complex. We arrived on April 2nd, 2026, the official start of the season

Despite this unprecedented crisis situation, the ENTIRE staff welcomed the guests with a warm smile! That's truly a great achievement! A very special thank you goes to the both managers LIA and YANNIS, who so professionally, sovereignly and prudently navigated their team through this exceptional situation, ensuring guests a carefree and unrestricted stay! This achievement deserves the highest respect...

We had an amazing time in the pool every day — we could hardly get out of it! The rooms are updated since our current stay, and the bathrooms are a big improvement — so clean and comfortable

The hotel is in a good location, just a short walk to local Mini Market and the beach Ladiko Bay. You do need to cross and walk along a main road, but it’s manageable and didn’t bother us

This was our first visit to this lovely hotel and we enjoyed it. The highlight for us is definitely the beautiful pool. It’s never too busy, making it perfect for me to relax

Food options are great - the fresh fruit is always good and plentiful, and poolside facilities such as the bar and restaurant serving a variety of well cooked dishes

There are always sunbeds available, no matter what time of day, which really adds to the relaxed, wonderful atmosphere

After reading the reviews we were worried but we really didn't have to be. We had a great stay here, the staff were lovely, the grounds and pool great and the location was perfect for us

At the beginning they are sometimes stones, away from the shore the sand. The beach is every morning clean

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a big smile and great kindness by Saad, whose sense of hospitality immediately put us at ease

The food is excellent, varied, and carefully prepared a real treat at every meal! And what about the view ,a splendid view overlooking the sea, soothing and magical, especially at sunset I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking comfort, friendliness, and relaxation

The entire staff, right down to the housekeepers, is incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The hotel is spotlessly clean you feel comfortable and safe

There was some confusion with the booking when we first arrived, but it was swiftly resolved by Maria. After a welcome drink we were taken to our room which was spacious, clean, comfortable with beautiful views

The food was great, the staff were great, the other holidayers were great. A holiday to remember for sure. A big shout out to Mya, Abdulla and Christina who were all amazing at the reception bar and pool bar

We enjoyed our stay at Mitsis Galini hotel. The stuff was friendly, the room had a nice view of the sea and the pool and both the dinner and the breakfast were above the expectations. We will definitely come back!

We went at end of October, just before the end of the season. Hotel is beautiful, clean and spacious, top quality. We had two double rooms facing the pool and sea, with a balcony

Very clean and tidy and with everything you could need (safe, toiletries, hair dryer, towels etc). The outdoor pool is very well kept and large, hardly anyone in it at all

There is a smaller thermal pool outdoors and one indoors too, with a spa. Had a wonderful blow dry and style for only €30 as well. Food was amazing, lots of options even for me as a vegetarian

All meals had options of bread, salads, fruits/veg, cheese and meats, pizza, italian pasta, meat dishes, chips, fish, chicken, vegetable dishes, rice, soups, crepes, ice creams, and a large range of desserts, as well as greek specialities

We had a sea view room and the extra cost was worth it for the amazing view out over the sea, with mountains in the distance. The rear of the hotel also faces some pretty impressive mountains, but overlooks the car park

The area of Benitses , a short stroll from the hotel to have a terrific selection of shops , restaurants and friendly bars. We would recommend the Potamaki Beach Hotel and area as an excellent location to holiday

The location is perfect, beach is just opposite, bus stop to the old town is less than 1min walk, shops are 1min walk, airport is close too either by bus or taxi. Breakfast was superb with varieties

The management of the hotel are so welcoming and friendly, they provided my wife with paracetamol when she complained headaches on arrival

Good hotel, convenient location. Friendly staff. Spacious room. I liked it. I recommend it.

I highly recommend this hotel and I will definitely stay here on my next visit to Corfu

Very nice personal, kind and helpful Clean towels, room cleaning every day; they also changed the sheets twice in 8 days; some of the food was delicious, beach is close, beautiful view from the balcony free air conditioning good coffee in the bar for 2 EUR

Our room was a corner swim up junior suite, with one set of doors to the pool and the other to the garden with the beach just beyond

Theres a photographer will take your pics in evening before dinner, then you can buy them printed next morning in breakfast. Nice beach , we love it, dont forget to bring your beach shoes

You could order specific wines at an additional cost if you wanted a bottle at the restaurant with food, juice, beer (draft or corona) but we found the 3 types each of white, 3 rose and 3 red were more than an adequate range to suit most palates

The Chicken Parmesan from Levante dinner menu is the best I’ve ever had and the mini steak sliders and Mille-feuille dessert from the Floga steak restaurant amazing; but in all honesty every dish from every restaurant was fantastic

The food itself was faultless- so fresh with lots of choice and the orange juice just out of this world! We are Scottish and can’t access Mediterranean fruits that fresh so really savoured the freshness of the salads and fruits

Our luggage was set aside whilst we were presented with cold towels & lemonade and the receptionist checked us in. It was almost midnight and check in was quick and efficient as we were tired from our travels

Our room overlooked the pool, a peaceful, elegant scene that looked like something out of a dream. We thought it might be noisy being so close to the water, but it was the opposite: pure silence

A perfect one week stay at Hotel Contessina! Spacious rooms with direct pool access, a calm and stylish atmosphere, and outstanding service that made us feel truly cared for

The mattress was divine, the pillows soft and perfect, the scent of the sheets warm and clean. What truly sets Contessina apart is the care. Every second, every detail, every smile felt genuine

Our stay at the Contessina Hotel was exceptional! Most of the staff members went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, from generous room upgrade to thoughtful service

This hotel definitely deserves 5 stars! The entire hotel staff is incredible! the service is excellent. I'd like to thank Joe and Federica because they were so helpful and kind

Before we could even think of needing something, it was already there. It wasn’t just a stay, it was a feeling, a celebration, a memory that wrapped us in peace

The drive to Sitia from Heraklion is uneventful and not difficult albeit narrower and windier roads when nearer Sitia. The hotel is at the far end of the beach area that is down from the town

The public areas and bar areas are good. I get the sense that many guests here are for the beach and don’t leave. They have an all-inclusive package with food and drinks

I’m sure that in the height of the season it is a very different experience. Having said that the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. We don’t think it merits the 5* rating

The bed was comfortable but storage is quite limited due to the small size of the room. The decor and furniture is on the old and outdated side. The bathroom is very small and a bit tight to get in and out of the shower

I would say the cleanliness if at the B level which means ok but not top notch. The hallway out of the room is semi outdoors. The lifts are good and the stairs are wide and well equipped with rails

The check-in process was easy and they had a room for us a bit earlier than the check-im time, which was very nice. The room is small but not less than typical Greek standard

Good mid-tier hotel. Clean, well run, friendly and efficient. Used by airline crews. Good roof terrace with pool in the summer

there was lots of good restaurants and bars near by but was a 40 min walk to down town or a 10 Uber ride but the hotel was clean friendly good food great balcony rooms Most of all we eere back early 10 am from our cruise and they had our rooms ready by 11 for our whole tour group this was amazing !!

It doesn't try to compete with boutique trends — instead, it exudes a quiet sophistication that appeals to mature travelers, couples, and conference guests alike

Our tour, Gate 1, selected this hotel. It appears this is the tour group capital of Athens, as many tours passed through here. Great for the hotel, guaranteed income, not so much for the patron

We went up to the roof garden/pool area shortly after settling in for a drink. Bar maid made us feel about as welcome as a dose of covid and the price didn't help

A 3-star hotel, the air conditioner needs service (constant squeaking), beds are old and hard, no early check-in, this hotel used for tour groups so the waiting area is constantly full with no seating

If you do not like the music at the main pool, you can use the other (quiet) pool or the beach loungers further from the pool bar. We enjoyed the pool bar service (e

It had two nice swimming pools and plenty of loungers around the pools and on the beach

its "Acai Berry Bowl") every day, calling the service from the beach lounger's call button. Both breakfast buffet and dinner buffet were nice. (The dinner buffet repeated after 1 week, but we stayed only 8 nights

And the flax seed ran out three days before the end of the season (and was not filled up again). The door knob in our room was not properly working, so we could not lock the front door from inside

We choose a more expensive room with its own private swimming pool (more of a plunge pool) with separate sleeping and living area. The room was clean and daily cleaned to a high standard

We went for a quiet holiday, choosing this adults only hotel as it was situated by the beach on what seemed (and was) a quiet spot on this south coast of Crete
