"Excellent accueil. Nous avons été surclassés et avons eu l'agréable surprise de découvrir un frigo rempli de victuailles pour agrémenter nos petit déjeuners (presque plus nécessaire de faire des courses !). Le logement était parfait : très propre et confortable, extrêmement bien équipé avec un bel espace extérieur. Facilité de stationnement devant le logement"

"Friendly staff and big spacious room, breakfast has big selection, great location right next to the beach with free sun beds, amazing restaurants in both directions. Only things to mention that if you rent a car it might be a bit of luck to park close to the hotel, go for smaller cars. In the room the bed was making loud squeaky noise when turned around as the legs were slipping on the tiles, some cleaners could be quieter at 7am when they are chatting considering some people still sleeping that time on their holidays. Apart from these a pleasant stay and recommended hotel to stay if you are on that side of the island."
"Staff was really friendly and fast. Food was also great and varied. Loved the cocktails and it was luxurious to be able to order to sun beds both at the pool and to the beach. Thank you!"
"It was an amazing experience at the resort. The food was excellent, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the beautiful pool area and beach.
A few small improvements would make the experience even more consistent with a five-star hotel: adding extra towel or robe hooks in the shower area, installing a hygienic shower in the bathroom, and providing a capsule coffee machine in the room.
The location is also very convenient—just a short taxi or bus ride from Platania, with many restaurants and shops. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!"
"We had an amazing time at this wonderful resort! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Room was spacious, clean and in top condition. The pool areas were lovely and water temperature in pools was perfect, cool but not too cold. It was difficult some days to get a free sun lounger, however they had several Bali beds for €19 which included 2 waters and 2 other soft drinks so we thought was reasonable. There are several restaurants on site, we loved Galazio restaurant . I can honestly say their steaks were amongst the best we ever had. The location is perfect, quiet surroundings with a 5 minute walk to the Strip, where there were several bars, shops and restaurants. This hotel is excellent for families with young or older children/teenagers, young adults and couples also . We will definitely go again and recommend it highly!"
"The one bed suite was very spacious and comfortable. Plenty of sun loungers and tables outside including own chairs directly outside room. Really friendly and welcoming staff. Short walk via hill into town. Ideal place for exploring hiking trails and Platanias. No shop or restaurant on site but plenty in local area so not an issue. Pool a decent size and well maintained. Great view."
"Booked 1 room with another family with 9 of us at the property. We had also rented cars and drove to the hotel. Great access for free parking. The room was split over 2 levels that the boys enjoyed. The room was very clean. The breakfast selection was significant to choose from and the Italian restaurant was really great. The hotel gave direct access to the beach and great spot for sunset pictures!"
"Caldera Crete paradise was absolutely fabulous, very clean and staff were helpful and very friendly,the food was very good every evening was a different theme and so much to choose from every day. We had a fantastic time but we weren't ready to leave the place so we will return hopefully very soon."
"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."
"Buffet is clean, delicious, well sorted out and reasonably expansive. I wished omelette line is easier and faster. But there are variety of egg preparation so I went to get other egg dish for breakfast. There are themed supper every night whether it is Italian, Asian or Arabian. All good."
