"Lovely hotel on the sea front with two great pools. It’s a little far out from Chania but we used the local bus service to go to Chania and platanias which had a lot more going on. We enjoyed our stay which was good for a four night break. Rooms are immaculate "

"Amazing hotel, communication with regard to our booking was great and when we arrived everything was easy.
Room was clean and spacious, staff were really friendly, breakfast we were spoilt for choice. Highly recommend Marika, a stones throw from the beach and town too!"

"Nette accomodatie, met klein keukenblokje, aan een drukke weg, in een buitenwijk van Kolymbari gelegen. Zwembad aanwezig, geen ontbijt. Ca. 10 min rijden naar het strand en het centrum van Kolymbari. Aquapark in de buurt. Enkele horecazaken op wandelafstand."

"Nous avons passé un très agréable s éjour et surtout apprécié que l'appartement soit en front de mer et à proximité des commerces et restaurants, je ne peux que recommander.
L'appartement avec des meubles un.peu vieillot mais tout ce qu'il faut pour cuisiner et le ménage est fait tous les 2 jours."

"Beautiful quiet spot! A walk or cycle from the Center of Frangkocastello (and where the beach is wonderful and child friendly too). The taverna on the sea front just infront of the property has excellent traditional Greek food and there are many more to try in the center too. Very peaceful location, with a few similar looking apartment hotels scattered along this coastline. The hosts are wonderful. A pool was just finishing being built right behind the current apartments property and looked like...

"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."
"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"
"absolutely brilliant. In a big hot spot area of Platanias with a bust beach and restaurant area. Don’t listen to any of the negative reviews. The place was spotless, ability to stream your netflix and youtube. Great deck, giant bathroom and the breakfast was incredible and delicious!! If they had a pool area near jacuzzi it would be absolutely top notch! What a great gem to stumble upon! Staff exceptionally friendly and they actually knew they were a VIP access hotel. Most don’t or don’t care! Thank you! Keep it up!"
"This was a very nice hotel, description was accurate and the staff were very good. The organised taxis to and from the airport and the room was very clean. Only reason it wasn't a 5 is the rooms are a bit sort of drawer space for storage, so stuff stayed in the cases and the breakfast was fine, but not outstanding.
Happy to thoroughly recommend the hotel"
"All inclusive and very chill. Food in main resteraunt in my opinion was very good, though some of the resteraunt dinning experiences were lack luster and would not do again. Very good for families though would be.nicer if had a program for children. At this point would recommend, though construction is a bit poor and in a few years may be run down. Had ants on balcony on third floor coming from crack in structure, and saw lots of little deterioration of the property."
"What a lovely place to stay! Up in the older part, near to the best restaurants in my opinion. The owner is the loveliest lady, always had a smile and a wave. Loved the fresh fruit and veg left for our arrival too. The lovely cleaning ladies came in daily always said hello to us. It’s just got a nice vibe. Very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of sunbeds but only half have sun, don’t worry though because the other half start to get sun about midday so don’t panic (I did) it’s about a ten min (if that) walk downhill into town (the strip) and about another 3 mins to the beach from there. Getting back is slightly uphill and I did see some people did struggle (mobility issues etc) but it’s not that bad really. I’d definitely come back. Fave restaurants were Mi Mora (4 min walk) down the hill. Agio Klima, literally 3 mins from the apartments if you go down the west facing steps and up that road past Riza and there it is. All in all very happy with our stay. I reckon it would suit couples or older people. I wouldn’t want to take a young family here as I’d worry they are disturbing everyone."
