We have just returned from another super stay at the El Greco Hotel in Crete (25th September). This was our fifth visit and it remains one of our favourite hotels. The food was excellent with so much choice, it is difficult to see how it could not please. Show- cooking, plenty of traditional and international dishes were on offer. Breakfast... More

The El Greco is by no means a bad hotel, and I do concur with some other reviewers here who question both the Thomson Platinum rating and the 4 star + designation. However, despite the old 70's feel and the stained carpets, I had a particular relaxing and well attended to stay at the El Greco. Upon arrival, staff members... More

Just returned from this hotel on 30th September 2012 after 10 days. I was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews before going but I have to speak as I find, the hotel wasn't shabby or dark (the only things that could do with changing are the poolside umbrellas, but maybe they're getting around to those because the...

Very small rooms/corridors/communal areas in dire need of a refurb. Rooms were advertised as suitable for up to 3 adults but didnt mention that the 3rd adult was expected to sleep on a cot bed. This was ok for my six year old but not for family in the adjoining room. This was rectified but space was very limited. We... More
