Hotels near Palaiokastro Beach

"The grounds of the hotel were beautiful and breakfast was very thorough as well. The gentlemen at the front desk was very accommodating and polite. My swim out suite was beautiful but little touches like having true smart TV’s or capability to mirror phone to TV would make it a true 5 star. Would still recommend to others. "

"Chrisanthi was an amazing host who made us feel extremely welcome at her villas. The location, view and actual villa were amazing and cleaned to an incredible standard - our young family couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks for an amazing stay Chrisanthi! "

"The hotel looks very nice from the outside and also in the pictures. The view is simply stunning and truly impressive. Unfortunately, the location is a bit inconvenient – there are no tavernas or attractions around. Although it is presented as a five-star hotel, in our opinion it is more like a 3.5-star standard. The food was often cold, very monotonous, and with little variety. There was no live cooking, not even at breakfast. The all-inclusive drinks were quite average, as expected, but the paid drinks at the bar were excellent – some of the best I have ever had. This hotel is not the right choice for people who want to explore Crete. It is rather for those who just want to pay for an all-inclusive stay, relax at the hotel, and do nothing else. The cleaning service was poor, and the sunbeds on the beach were dirty – something unacceptable for a five-star hotel. Everything seems like more as quantity rather then quality. On a positive note, Irina at the reception was absolutely fantastic and made our stay really enjoyable in terms of entertainment. Also, Maria at breakfast was very friendly and left us with a great impression. Overall, the hotel left us with a disappointing impression, and we definitely would not book it again. "

"Beautiful property with incredible views. Quiet community between Heraklion and Rethymo was close to the airport but away from the crowds. Our only issue was finding the house and having staff available to answer questions. The drive has steep slopes so having an SUV was helpful. "
