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!

A/C was very noisy but rooms clean and nice. Big nice swimmingpool. Because we did not have all inclusive we were questioned at the pool area if we really were guests. Easy to take the bus to Chania or Platanias, station just outside the hotel.

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.

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

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.

Overall I'd say the hotel food/restaurant was great, and the rooms (both in cleanliness and standard) are very good. However, the rest of the hotel is more on par with a 3-4* rating. Clean room. Friendly staff - some more willing to help than others. Kids club mis advertised by hotels.com - there is no kids club at this hotel. The safe in the room was an additional 3€ per day if you wish to use it - which was not advertised on hotels.com. Likewise, beach towels are advertised on the site at no extra cost, however on arrival, we were informed they are 20€ to use for the week (though I was not charged for the towels in the end). Otherwise the room was great: mini fridge, tea & coffee facilities, slippers given. Though items were not always replaced each day however, despite leaving tips for the maids (& mugs were left dirty etc). However, there are water machines around the hotel where you can fill your own bottle. Food selection in the restaurant is great. The all inclusive cocktail menu is varied but basic. The all inclusive programme ends at 11pm.

8/10 Very good

Lovely rooms, very clean, great food and lovely staff. On the downside the drinks were pretty average. Coffee not great, wine not great, soft drinks varied, spirits weak. Also found it very odd for a supposed 5 star to have to pay extra for things like pool towels, some “premium” sun beds and bottled water? Not expected. The dining areas could really do with better lighting and some added character - they feel a bit canteen-like. However the food was really very good. Fresh, varied and tasty with lots of options. Deserts were also excellent. And the staff are great all round. It’s a quiet hotel, peaceful, with little or no evening entertainment even in peak summer. But if that’s what you like this is hard to beat. We walked into the village one evening which was so nice with a few good local restaurants, and only took 10/15 mins to walk. The grounds, pool area and rooms are so well kept and can’t be faulted. We were in the swim up rooms which were very lovely with great views. Best of both worlds. Overall I would definitely recommend it, and would certainly go back.

Great Holiday

Stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks with extended family. Food: tasty, always warm, a lot of variety (appreciated a lot of seafood choices) Room: pick a room with a sharing pool Staff: everyone really friendly and accommodating Main pool: nice with a poolbar in the middle and really good for small kids as on two parts depth gradually increases Beach: we did not visit often as it was windy and wavy, so you really appreciate all the pool options Animation: no animation (minidisco etc) for kids, 1 greek night and 2 one man shows in two weeks - as a family with small kids we would apeciate something more in the evening time, but the hotel is still relatively new and maybe still developing in this area Cleanliness: very appreciated the cleaning team work - towels changed every day Advice: rent a car and discover Chania area

Hyggelig ansatte. Rene og fine lokaler og rom. Treningsrommet var langt under standard og sto ikke i stil med resten av hotellet. Spa var ikke åpent så kan ikke si noe der. Grei mat. Kjøtt var ofte over stekt og tørt så trekk for det. Totalt sett så koset vi oss masse der og syns hotellet var knall.

Das Essen war gut und war immer Abwechslungsreich. Leider hatten wir immer wieder Handtücher die voller Flecken waren, dies sollte in einem 5 Sterne Hotel nicht vorkommen. Leider musste man auch für die Poolhandtücher zahlen und auch für den Safe im Zimmer. Wir hatten All-Inclusive und ein Zimmer mit Privatpool. Es gibt zwei verschiedene Arten von Zimmern mit privaten Pool, leider hatten wir eins, wo der Pool nur Beton-Optik hat, diese haben extrem rutschige Stufen in den Pool, man kann sich hierbei nur versuchen an der Wand zu stüzen. Die anderen Privaten Pool Zimmer und die Sharing Pool Zimmer hatten immer Sonne, unsere Pool Zimmer waren leider in die komplett andere Richtung, damit hatten wir fast nur Schatten. Schade, dass die Ausrichtung nicht wie bei den anderen war. Personal ist zum größten Teil immer sehr nett.
