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

Seeing the hotel on the website and seeing it in person are 2 different things. Our room was nice but very tired, only the bathroom was new. The Labyrinth Restaurant... more

Booked a 7 day short notice get away through Sovereign at the Grecotel Certa Palace covering the last week in April 2007. I was apprehensive, knowing that the hotel was about 20 years old.Would it be a little tired and not quite able to maintain the 5 star rating it still aspires to?. First impressions, arriving after 11p.m., that we... more
