This is a good hotel that is changing direction from being a good quality base for couples to one that focusses on kids and families. I had switched from another Thomsons property because the reviews of the first selection indicated that it was over-run with kids. I was therefore shocked to see the reviews that indicated the same thing was... more

We have stayed at this Hotel in 1993, 1998, 2003 unfortunately it has lost some of its charm for us, the food choice and quality was not bad, but nowhere near its previous high standard and is now fully buffet service, which we feel is a very retregrade step for a 5 star hotel. The other problem with this hotel... more

Having read the two last reviews with regard to this hotel, my husband and myself went with an open mind. Sadly, the reviews were correct. We booked this holiday with Thomson a la carte so you can imagine it was not cheap. We have never, in all the holidays we have taken all over the world, experienced such terrible behaviour... more

We have stayed at this hotel on two previous occasions and were highly satisfied. However our latest holiday was by comparison a very poor experience. The food quality being now buffet style was mediocre, the rooms, whilst clean, are in need of refurbishment as are some of the common areas. Children were allowed to frequent all areas of the hotel... more

Creta Palace (24/7/2008 to 7/8/2008) Most of the previous reviewers have already spotted the main points worth commenting on about the hotel. Nevertheless, here is my take. Location --> not far from Rethymnon (4 km) but not much happening just outside the hotel, so the guests are kind of a “captive audience” relying mainly on the facilities of the hotel... more

We (my wife and I) stayed in the hotel in June 2008 for a relaxing week. The hotel is situated just on the beach which is very nice so the hotel, pool and beach are just beside each other. The beach has comfortable beds and umbrellas and was nice for swimming. It is a bit rocky getting in but otherwise... more

I visited the Creta Palace in May 2008. The hotel is rated as a 5 star hotel. I would say that the service and the public areas definitely warrant the 5 star rating, as they were lovely. The staff could not be more helpful and did their absolute best to make you feel at home - which I really appreciated... more

We had a nice holiday there.Our Junior Suite was nicely furnished, with a great view.The staff was nice and showing real Greek hospitality. more

This hotel is very nice especially the bungalow rooms with a terrace. The rooms are beautiful arranged and room service is doing a good job twice a day. The beach is very wide and there are enough sunbeds so that you will find a nice place even in the afternoon. There is an open restaurnt with origin Greek food in... more
