I had a memorable stay at Creta Palace, where the beautiful beach and spacious accommodations made my vacation truly enjoyable. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasurable experience, especially during our wedding celebrations. However, the dining prices were on the higher side, and it could be challenging to find sunbeds if you arrived late at the beach.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel, with a breathtaking beach area and an incredibly organized kids' club that kept our little ones entertained. The room was comfortable and had a great view, but the sound insulation could be better as we occasionally heard noise from outside. Dining options were diverse and delicious overall. The location was also fantastic, close enough to explore nearby attractions while enjoying a relaxing atmosphere on the beach.

I had a fantastic experience at this hotel! The accommodations were spacious and luxurious, and the staff provided exceptional service, always ready to help. The dining options were varied and delicious, especially the Asian restaurant. However, I found the beach area needed some improvements, particularly concerning the pebbles that made entering the water a bit painful. Overall, a great family-friendly resort with plenty of activities for everyone!

Our stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable with exceptional staff who truly cared about our experience. The food offered was fantastic, and we felt comfortable in our room. However, the noisy atmosphere in the main restaurant, filled with children, and the need for some renovations were notable downsides. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a family getaway but may not suit couples seeking a quieter environment.

Our stay at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable, with beautiful balconies. The beach area was clean and well-maintained, offering a perfect spot for relaxation. However, the location is a bit isolated, requiring a taxi to get to nearby attractions. Additionally, the gym could benefit from more equipment, and the internet connection was frustratingly slow at times.
