My partner and I, 4 adult friends and 2 small children have just returned from our trip at the El Greco. We upgraded to a room with a sea view and had a view of the infinity pool thrown in too. It was well worth the extra! The hotel is immaculately clean throughout, absolutely spotless. The staff were friendly, efficient... More

My husband and I had a 2 week holiday at the El Greco from 6-20 May and couldn't understand why there were hardly any TA reviews in the previous year so we were prepared for once to risk it. Glad we did. The hotel was just starting to get into its stride as we left so anyone going now will... More

My wife and I have just returned from a week at El Greco and thoroughly enjoyed the experience . We have stayed at several grecotel hotels regularly over the last 20 years most of which have higher star ratings but this hotel , although lacking in some sophistication , gives far better value . We can endorse all the positive... More

We had an excellent stay at the El Greco for the first two weeks of May 2012. The staff are brilliant, the rooms a good size, and the pools are lovely. The quality of the food is outstanding and caters for a very wide variety of tastes from standard fare to vegetarian to excellent Greek dishes. The nearby beach is... More

Stayed at the El Greco last August for 2 weeks and loved it! We stayed in a bungalow overlooking with a sea view. The patio doors opened onto a garden and it was close to the beach. It's not a huge hotel so is easy to find your bearings quickly. A mixture of nationalities added to the holiday and our... More

Hi, This review is long overdue as I visited with my husband last October. I can't praise this hotell highly enough as during the holiday it was our 28th wedding anniversary and they couldn't have made it anymore special if they had tried (even making us a surprise cake). I have travelled all over the world and I have never... More

Without a doubt I would recommend this hotel. We went toward the end of the season and so it was quiet and relaxing. All staff were helpful and service was excellent. Room was clean and the bottle of wine on arrival was much appreciated. The food could not be faulted. Due to it being end of season, the weather was... More
