Crete Vacation Packages

Was so nice and relaxing loved the Elia restaurant on the beach front and the sun loungers being reserved for our room 😊

A great stay here in Crete, if you’re planning to come here from Heraklion I suggest renting a car (around 1 hour and 30 minutes from there). The resort is stunning, all new and with attentive staff. The food offered at the buffet was great, many options and with excellent desserts. The room was modern and stunning, I loved the pool on the balcony. The beach is long and stunning with nice beach beds. Overall I loved my stay here.

I recently stayed at Grecotel LUXME White Palace, and it’s safe to say the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like VIPs—warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The aesthetic of the resort is stunning—whitewashed elegance with chic, modern touches. The views of the sea are breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the number of pools (22!) means you never feel crowded. We especially loved the adults-only pool for a bit of quiet relaxation. The all-inclusive dining exceeded expectations. From themed buffets to à la carte restaurants, everything was fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend the Asian fusion spot and grabbing a crepe at the Gelateria. The cocktails? Top-notch. Our room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, with a sea view that made mornings magical. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and little touches like daily turndown service and local treats were appreciated.

The property itself is in a beautiful spot. Amazing views and right in between the towns of Agios Nicholas and Elounda. In theory, it has everything that should make a resort great. Problem though is the dining situation......And its a MAJOR problem. I don't know if I've ever written a poor review in my life about a hotel. But, I have to give a warning especially for anyone who doesn't take the all inclusive meal plan. They advertise that they have multiple restaurants and bars, but they are rarely if ever open. And when they are open, you need reservations well in advance. Like, you need to reserve your meals before you even start your trip. We tried and were unable to reserve a table at ANY of their restaurants the entire time we were there (6 days). Not one. The only food option the entire week we were there was their main restaurant which is the exact same buffet everyday for lunch and dinner. If you're not all inclusive, it's $150 dollars for a family of 4. Which I guess isn't horrible, but it's pretty mediocre food and I can't see how anyone could eat a week's worth of meals there. The one pool bar that was open had no snacks to order. There is no lobby bar to get appetizers. Seriously nothing. Thankfully there is a little market across the street from the hotel that we were able to get cheese and crackers from, and we were able to eat most of our meals in the nearby towns. But the fact that this is labelled as a "resort" with dining options is a complete scam.

Unbelievable all included high class vacation.
