The hotel is big enough but not too big and is comfortabel. The breakfast is amazing.
But enough available beds around the pool.
Corridor at not well designed.., look a bit cheap.
Room also needs a bit of maintenance.

Everything was just excellent! Perfect service, chill out bars and delicious restaurants. We have tried also buffet which was very high quality. Nice atmosphere for couples and families as well. The grecoland for kids is a big highlight.

First I have to say I am not a resort type of person. I came for the end of school of my 15 year old son and becouse of him. He said 5/5 specially becouse of outdoor training with a fitness master and table tennis lessons and other amneties and food and room and pool and beach and hotel :) I can personally add in short.. everything here is very nice... but staff.... staff is really exceptional. On all levels. Very very kind. One of a kind experience. Uff yes, and food as well. For sure I will come back and I will reccomend Grecotel to my friend as well.
you shuld add some vegan options to menus in your restaurants. Maybe you could organise different system with towels, it is not good for the planet that so many towels go to washing everyday. Maybe you can provide beach and room towels in every room and possibility to change easily for those who want to do it. Now you are forced to take a new towel every day on the beach...

The central pool was really beautifully situated, as was the beach adjoining the hotel. It made waking up and unwinding by water really easy. The main lobby of the hotel was beautiful also. The style felt open and spacious, and designed to allow the maximum off light to filter through. In a location like this, it worked brilliantly.
No complaints, really. I am a vegan and there weren't many vegan options available at breakfast, but the hotel never claimed to cater for vegans, so one can hardly complain about that.

Mostly everything was well organized for the quests: the breakfast is very good, I tried buffet dinner once in the hotel, but believe it is overpriced. The beds and pillows in the room were comfortable, the linen also felt very comfortable. The towels were changed for clean ones and toiletries supplied every day. Upon my check in, I had to ask for a bathrobe separately, as for some reason it wasn’t provided in the room and then it was never changed for clean one during my stay. The bottles with drinking water were supplied daily, but only from the third day of my stay, so I believe it depends from what housekeeper is cleaning the room. Quite big private beach area with comfortable sun beads, so everyone can choose the preferable location and type. The guests are served with refreshments throughout the whole day. The beach is rocky, so prepare to wear special shoes for walking. There is a nice fitness area behind the beach with very attentive and positive training instructor. I also enjoyed the cafeteria with excellent Greek coffee.
One day my room wasn’t cleaned at all and I had to chase the reception for arranging the cleaning for a few times. At the end it was cleaned almost at 6 pm, when guests are back from the beach or trips or any other daily activities and actively using the rooms, so that I couldn’t use my room properly and had to leave it for housekeeping. The reception didn’t apologize for this inconvenience and didn’t even leave any complimentary treatment in this regard. Upon checkout they also forgot to include laundry service in the total bill, so I had to remind them myself. The entrance doors in the room are not tight so I was always disturbed by the light and noice from outside. The beach towels were poorly supplied at the pool, unless upon request, rather than being arranged beforehand, so I believe the serving lady wasn’t active enough for this service.

The housekeeping staff go above and beyond. Our room was left like new every morning. The pool is beautiful and plenty of seating. The staff are very nice, welcoming, helpful and friendly. You could not fault the staff. The place is spotlessly clean. Location is good. You can get a taxi into Rethymno that takes about ten mins and costs €9
There was a strange smell on the upstairs floors all of the time. The hotel is a small bit dated.

The staff is just incredible! Super helpful, polite and smily. They were able to take care of any request or service we asked them for.
A special thanks for the Assitant Front Office Manager Panagiotis who was just perfect with us! From day 1 until the end of our stay! Never seen in a Hotel someone who care that much of their guests!

Attentive and wonderful staff- everyone was pleasant and helpful. The food was diverse and very tasty. The beach front was very nice.
My room did not feel clean initially. There was a layer of black dust on the sheets (perhaps a result of quick turnovers) and the finishings felt old and looked in need of cleaning, particularly the stained curtains and dusty seating.

Staff is EXCEPTIONAL! Food is AWESOME, one of the most tasty buffets we ever had(i can only compare it to Belagios’ buffet in Las Vegas, quality wise!). Hotel is super clean as well, and rooms smell fresh. Well done!
Everything beat our expectations!
