CRETA PALM APARTMENTS

Amazing place, great food and attentive staff. Especially Jimmi!

If you are visiting the chania area come here!!

We had an amazing holiday at Creta Palm! It was our first time staying at this hotel, as well as our first visit to Stalos near Chania, and we were extremely happy throughout our entire 10-day stay. The hotel offered a generous breakfast buffet every morning with a wide variety of options, so there was definitely something for everyone. The hotel’s private pedestrian bridge made it easy to reach the beach. Sunbeds were available to rent for €10 for two loungers. The beach restaurant also had very friendly staff. Stalos has plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, mini golf, and other activities. If you head towards Chania or Platanias, you’ll find even more to see and do. However, what we enjoyed most was the peaceful atmosphere and relaxed vibe of Stalos. The hotel also organized different evening entertainment on several nights, including karaoke, a magic show, and a one-man show. Jimmy, who works at the hotel’s bar, truly made our holiday unforgettable. He serves every guest with genuine warmth and a wonderful sense of humor that immediately spreads to everyone around him. We would absolutely love to come back. ❤️

Hotel was so nice! We like how it is middle of everything! And bridge was very good, because traffic were sometimes very heavy. So going To beach was safety. And Jimmis, hotelbarterder is so nice and having a sense of humor! All our family liked him! He speak finnish very good and we noticed, that he want To learn speak finnish.

Our stay at Creta Palm Hotel was truly fantastic! Delicious food, spotlessly clean rooms cleaned daily, and the extremely kind, always helpful staff made us feel very special. Special mention goes to the bartender Jimmys – incredibly friendly, smiling, and always making sure there was a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and we would be delighted to return!

We went here as a large group of 14 as a very special reunion. Positives The hotel was very modern and clean. Rooms were very nice. We upgraded to 2 room studio and it was very spacious with 2 large balconies and an American kitchen hidden behind cupboards. Pool and all communal areas are spotless. Food with AI option was very good for the price we paid. Drinks were ok. Not so great We arrived at 3am after a very challenging flight with my disabled husband. We were desperate for a cold drink but were told absolutely not - this was very far from other AI experiences we have had in many other hotels. Not a great start! The rules around the AI option were so draconian and actually spoiled our experience on several occasions. In my view this was not really AI as we have experienced in many other hotels. No stocked mini bar No zero alcohol beers Time limits and ‘rules’ This such a shame as the hotel has a lot to recommend it. Beach and beach bar lovely Entertainment for every night would be better

Third time and certainly not the last in this hotel❤️.

We have just returned from a really lovely holiday in Crete. The hotel was amazing from start to finish. We were made to feel really welcome by all the staff. They were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The whole hotel was so clean and bright. We went as two couples, our friends were in a block near the main pool and had a studio which consisted of a bedroom, sitting area and bathroom. They mentioned the bed was very soft but apart from that no complaints. Our room was overlooking the second pool area. It was very quiet and the room itself was large with very comfortable beds. The hotel has everything you need. We had bed and breakfast, again food had excellent choice and lovely. The hotel is on two sides of the road with a bridge across to a stunning sandy beach. There are restaurants all up the beach offering sunbeds as did this hotel. The beach is absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend this hotel and if we return will definitely book there again. We would all like to personally thank Zennis who worked behind the bar who was always so happy and friendly and helped make our stay that extra bit special and also Stella who cleaned our room. She is absolutely lovely, our room was so clean every day we returned. Thank you so much to all ❤️

Creta Palm is extremely clean and has very friendly staff. Especially the cleaners and of course Jimmy the barman. Unexplained whiffy smell near main pool which was slightly off putting. Also, evening meal, although several choices, much the same every night. Ifeal base, with beach just across the road and also a small supermarket across the road. Bus stop is literally 50 Metres from hotel and only a short bus ride to Chania city and the Venetian harbour, which is absolutely beautiful and worth a visit. First time to Stalos and Creta Palm but would definitely recommend and visit again.

Nice hollyday. The best hollyday. Jimmys is the best in the bar. Wee come back Again next year.

I’m going to list the positives first and then negatives Positive: It looks just like the pictures. The place was very clean, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cleaner pool. Most of the staff were very nice, especially the man in the bar. The second pool in the back was very nice and fun for kids. The first pool by the restaurant was beautiful. The beach outside the hotel was perfect. Soft sand and clear water, shallow water goes pretty far. Sunbeds 10€ / person The rooms have a mini kitchen! There’s a minigolf course beside the hotel that is nice and a few restaurants and small shops. You gotta go a bit further for bigger shopping. We went the 1st of June for one week, not so much tourist yet so no one was really rushing to the pools to save the sunbeds except a couple of people. There was always space. Negatives: The buffet- For a 4 star hotel in the Mediterranean you would expect a lot of fresh cut fruit for breakfast. They only had a few apples and green bananas in a bowl. Only cut some oranges. But good porridge 😊 Biggest negative - At the dinner buffet, you can’t get any drinks by yourself. You have to wait for a waiter to get your order. So you might make it to finish your food by the time you even get water, actually happened to us twice. Waiter came to take our water order when we were half way through, and when we were done, we told her to forget the order and she looked upset. I guess wait for the drinks before you get the food. This could be a positive also: The restaurant is open late and they have shows / karaoke that can go very late. So don’t expect to get to sleep early if you need quiet to sleep. One receptionist always looked pissed off. And the restaurant staff upstairs seemed stressed. Our room by the pool kinda smelled like mold and you can hear neighbors through the wall pretty well. Overall a nice vacation
