"Exceptional! One of the best hotels we’ve stayed in. The staff, the location, facility, and quality of food was incredible. Don’t think twice, it’s totally worth the price."
"We had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Galini Palace Resort Hotel. The overall atmosphere was calm and peaceful throughout, as the hotel is located in a quiet area away from the main tourist crowds.
The Highlights:
The absolute star of the hotel is the pool area - it is large, beautiful, crystal clear, and offers great view of the sea. The staff were also extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The food variety in the dining room was impressive, and while not every dish was to our personal taste, we always found plenty to enjoy.
Areas for Improvement:
There were a few minor issues that kept this from being a true 5-star experience:
Pool Hours: The pool hours are quite limited (10:30 AM – 6:30 PM). We felt it would be much better if it opened earlier and stayed open later in the evening, especially during the long summer days.
Room Amenities: For a 5-star hotel, we expected more luxury touches. For example there were no bathrobes, and it was disappointing to be charged an extra daily fee to use the room safe.
Maintenance & Cleanliness: The showerhead in our room was completely clogged. Also, there was a strange, strong smell of cleaning products in the hallway outside our room, which wasn't very pleasant.
Overall, a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful setting. With a little more attention to the small details and operating hours, it would be perfect."
"Everything about our stay was excellent. The staff, especially Theodora, were extremely helpful and accommodating. The breakfast, including the service, was phenomenal.
We would stay at this property again."
"Great hotel, great staff, service, honestly I usually don’t leave reviews but it was beautiful. A great thanks to the manger who was very helpful and commanded my family with our rooms and activities !"
"This is a nice modern hotel right near the beach and port. We had a view of the water and could walk to old town easily. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave us helpful answers to our tourist questions and were always available. Chania was a charming city that we wish we had one more night at. We would stay here again if we ever make it back."
"We were there for a conference but also enjoyed the wonderful food, swimming pools and beach. Rooms were big, comfortable and super clean. Staff was always kind and helpful. Area is vibrant with shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend"

"Loved our room and even used the small pool. The breakfast was amazing.
There were lots of families with children, but it was quiet and people were respectful of each other."
"Literally the best location! Staff were extremely nice & helpful, especially the guy at 2am working the morning we arrived. Everything about this hotel is top notch including the onsite restaurant! Best hotel we stayed at our entire trip!"
