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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Jag vet inte riktigt vart jag ska börja, men hotellet levde inte upp till våra förväntningar, allt var väldigt slitet och dåligt skött, hade verkligen behövts en renovering. Varje städning glömde personalen att fylla på något till rummet ex kaffe, vatten, handdukar osv. Ofta när vi väl fick handdukar så var de fläckiga. Otroligt få som kunde prata engelska i personalen, vilket gjorde det svårt att be om hjälp eller fråga om saker. Maten var det enda som var okej, men tycker det är konstigt att man behövde boka ala carte restaurangen i förväg, borde ha platser för drop-in? Solstolarna vid rummen (vi bokade med delad pool utanför rummet) hade väldigt smutsiga och slitna madrasser som man knappt ville ligga på. Sängen var lika hård som träplankor och hade ont i ryggen varje dag. Kommer inte att boka igen och rekommenderar inte.

The hotel itself is beautiful, with great facilities and lovely views of both the mountains and the sea. The shared pool access rooms are definitely worth it and really enhanced the experience. The pool bar was also a highlight, and Elissa in particular provided fabulous service throughout our stay. That said, there were a few areas where the experience fell short of what you would expect from a true 5* hotel. The vegetarian food options were quite limited and unfortunately was not very good overall. We also found the reception staff fairly unhelpful, starting from check-in where we were simply handed an information sheet rather than being properly welcomed or briefed on the hotel. To make matters worse, some of the information provided was inaccurate — for example, the à la carte restaurant was advertised as open for dinner bookings, but we later discovered it only operated two nights a week, meaning we were unable to get a reservation during our stay. Drinks were another disappointment. While using non-premium brands isn’t necessarily an issue, the menu was misleading in places — for example, the Aperol Spritz was advertised as containing Aperol, but was instead made with a much cheaper alternative, which noticeably affected the quality. Overall, I’d say the hotel has the facilities and appearance of a 5* resort, but the service and attention to detail felt much closer to a 4* experience.
