"The hotel view was lovely and the sound of the waves crashing up from the patio was nice but this place feels more like a one star to me. There was zero wifi even though they claimed there was and the AC stopped working around 1230am. We woke up boiling hot and suffered until we left at 8am. I enjoyed the pool and the location but sadly would not be back."

"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"

"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."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Youphoria Villas in Kissamos, Crete! It lived up to and exceeded our expectations. We stayed in Harmony Villa and the view was absolutely stunning. The location and orientation on the hill felt very private. It was spotless both inside and out with well kept gorgeous gardens. The inside was beautiful and modern but warm. The outside area and infinity pool with incredible views of the water and mountain landscape was the best part. We could’ve lived outside from...

"The hotel is located about 5-10 minute walk to the beach with a bunch of restaurants around as well as a ton of pools.
Breakfast was excellent! Would stay here again."

"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 staff greets you with utmost kindness. We arrived late and they were there to show us our room. The breakfast which was included in our stay is amazing as well as the coffee and view you are blessed with as you eat. The pool and beach area were beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make sure your needs were met."
"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!"
"This hotel was great, amazing views and the staff were lovely! The glasses in the room were not cleaned properly nor were they replaced. Great location for relaxed family holiday, just a short drive away from chania town"
"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."
