Really excellent hotel and staff, this was a great all-inclusive experience, we would highly recommend, and we will be coming back definitely
Ayodele, 14-night trip

6/10 Good

Underwhelming

My experience at this resort was definitly not up to the expectation, or really that near it, but by no means was it terrible. I’ll start with the positives. The staff was about 50/50 on who was nice and helpful, and who was not. The food generally was actually pretty good and cannot complain. The resort itself is also nice looking and kept clean. Now for cons. This is really not an all inclusive. It’s more like a partially inclusive. You get the food and pool access, but there is only one restaurant (the other that’s advertised is only open one day a week), you have to pay roughly $15 for beach towels to borrow, the alcohol you can have is a limited selection they choose and are VERY sweet, and you can only get one small cup at a time. Overall, I’ve never seen an all inclusive with so many limitations, and make you pay for things like towels. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your money here, I go to another near by.

8/10 Very good

The hotel was very nice. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. The beachfront was nice but rocky so bring water shoes. The pool is fantastic. Restaurant offered decent selection and the bar had a good selection too.

Good but not fantastic

Friendly and helpful front desk. Bars were understaffed and slow. Food was hit or miss. Some was very nice while other selections were bland.

Hôtel TIP TOP.

Les étoiles parlent d’elle même. C’est la troisième fois que nous choisissons cet hôtel en Crête et la cuisine est excellente et s’est même encore améliorée.

We would gladly come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Galini Palace Hotel. The hotel was very comfortable, with a great pool and a fun water park that we really enjoyed. All of the employees were kind and welcoming, especially Mohamed, the restaurant server – his smile, excellent service, and kindness made our experience even better. The only small downside was that we expected a bit more variety of fish dishes at the buffet. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and we would gladly come back!

Väldigt fint och fräscht hotell. Servicen var superbra, supertrevliga människor. Städerskorna såg till att det alltid såg bra ut i rummen och maten var god. Vi hade en 10/10 upplevelse. Enda mindre bra är att det inte sker jättemycket variation i buffén. Vi åt i princip liknande mat varje frukost, lunch och middag.

Dessert table was empty many times before the actual eating time was finished. A lot of food was missing information about the incredients. Food was good and fress. The rooms were good. Housekeeping worked very well.

I beste fall 4 stjerner, mye manglet her

Galini Palace Resort fortjener ikke 5 stjerner, i beste fall 4 stjerner. Nytt hotell, så rommene var ganske bra. Veldig betong aktig, og upersonlig atmosfære. Underholdning var omtrent helt fraværende, bortsett fra en person som dro på en høytaler, og sa noen ord i en mikrofon, for så å forsvinne, mens masete og dårlig musikk ble stående på alt for høyt. Rett og slett plagsomt. Hotellet bestemte seg også for å endre på åpningstidene i restaurantene, så de stengte en halv time tidligere enn annonsert. Ala carte restauranten var ikke åpen i det hele tatt. Mat og drikke var ikke elendig, men lite å glede seg over på denne fronten. Har vært på hoteller med 3 stjerner hvor maten har vært mye bedre. All tilgjengelig mat i snackbaren var kald, og lite appetittlig. Under oppholdet brøt det ut magevirus på hotellet, om det skyldes mat eller smitte vites ikke, men mange ble syke, og hotellet gjorde lite for å begrense spredning. La personlig merke til brukte glass som kom i kontakt med tappekraner. Servering ble ikke beskyttet, og smitte kunne vandre fritt. Svært kritikkverdig. Dette er et hotell hvor alt koster ekstra, og ikke en gang Strand håndkler får du låne uten å betale. I tillegg var det ikke lås på et eneste felles toalett. Vil ikke anbefale dette hotellet til noen, dersom dere ønsker en koselig og smaksrik opplevelse, det finnes mye bedre alternativer på Kreta, og til billigere pris.

A great hotel but beware of listing

The hotel is fantastic, but look at the hotel website for clarification on the room spec. Hotels.com stated the room came with private pool but it didn’t. The great service at the hotel ensured we had a great time. It’s a fantastic peaceful hotel but be mindful of the star rating as some facilities don’t meet the mark I.e spa, food variety
