Ganzkörpermassage im Aquavita Spa retreats war sehr gut. Georgia war sehr professionnell.
We had a fantastic time at the Grand Hotel Resort in Crete and would definitely recommend it!
Our room, 1521, was large, clean and had great air conditioning. Being at the top of the hill meant we had amazing sea views, which made the stay even more special.
The pool areas were spotless, and we constantly saw staff cleaning and keeping everything looking immaculate. The pool bar at the splash pool was a particular favourite — the food we had there for lunch was really nice, and once again, everything was very clean.
The main restaurant was also extremely clean, with a great variety of food and plenty of choice. We loved that there were different options and dishes each night, so there was always something new to try.
The hotel is also in a great location, with Stalis only around a 10-minute walk away, where you’ll find lots of lovely shops, restaurants and places to explore.
Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and really enjoyed our stay. The cleanliness, facilities, food, views and location all made for a great experience.
We would definitely return and highly recommend the Grand Hotel Resort! 🌊☀️🏨
The Spa service was absolutely fantastic and Georgia did an amazing job and was super friendly. I will certainly do this experience again!
Spent 10 days at the Grand Hotel, and one word describes our stay .FABULOUS…. Stayed in room 1524,at the top of the hill , which upon first arrival seemed a little daunting as it was a trek and a half down to the main areas . But there is a Golf type buggy on call to convey you up and down , just press the buzzer and within seconds it arrives. Room was very clean with a terrific sea view. Towels were changed every day and a very reassuring thing is the bedding is quality material . And one thing we always check when in hotels is the mattresses . These were first rate , clean comfy and no stains . Kids pool area is clean and plenty of sun beds without the annoying factor of reserving with towels as lots do on holiday, there were always ones available. Pool bar was top notch great food and drinks and the bar man ,Socratis was a really pleasant and obliging guy. Again there was always a member of staff constantly cleaning. We had no need to visit the main pool and the Adults only pool as we had grandkids with us , but on passing there always seemed to be beds free and again everywhere was Spotlessly clean. Main buffet restaurant had staff who can only be described as Terrific so polite ,helpful and willing to engage .Manolis , Georgios & Nikos deserve special mention . The replies we received from our thanks for there service was that . It is their job to make our stay a good one and if we were happy ,it made them Happy . Had 2 Al a Carte meals at the Italian & the Greek restaurants . The Greek restaurant food was Superb and again service & Staff were terrific. Slightly disappointed with the food in the Italian but we have had worse , at other venues….Would deffo stay again at the Grand. Staff and Location First Class.
A hidden gem in the hotel.
When booking the service, I was pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of cosmetics available, including quite a few local products.
When the appointment finally came, the experience was so enjoyable that the time simply flew by. Stavroula did everything she could to make me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire service.
As for the price, the initial cost may seem a little high, but it’s worth considering one of the all-in-one packages, which come with a discount.
