Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Grecotel Creta Palace is generally considered a lovely beachfront hotel, approximately a 40-minute walk or a short cab ride from Rethymno, boasting spacious and very clean rooms alongside spotless grounds. Guests particularly enjoy the excellent swimming pool and convenient access to loungers on the beach, also the great selection of quality food at the buffet for breakfast and dinner. Some guests, however, have noted that certain rooms facing the corridor may experience noise issues. Families especially appreciate the family bungalows with garden views and complimentary lunches and snacks for children included with half-board, as well as fitness activities, and a la carte restaurants on site, especially Barbarossa.
