Grand Bay Beach Resort - Crete

Location is terrible (in a rundown alley and 45 minute bus ride away from anything relevant). However, the 3 local restaraunts have great food. The beach is easily the worst in Crete. Large stones make up the beach and it's brutally painful to get to the water. The Hotel is very dirty and hasn't been cleaned (other than the sheets) for who know's […] how long. There are fees for everything (towels, sunbeds, wifi, and in-room safe). This "resort" is not airconditioned either. Their air conditioning is literally a fan. The rooms are very plain and the bedding is extremely uncomfortable. The "restaurant" in the hotel has some of the worst food I've ever experienced at a "resort" and seems to be re-heated frozen food. Anything loosely resempling a resort amenity is actually an amenity of their "sister resort" that's a 35 minute drive away. This Motel should, in no way, ever be advertised as a 4 Star Resort, or a Resort of any kind. Chania is a very beautiful side of the island, but do yourself a favor and look at the other three cities (Platanias, Agia Marina, Stalos, or Chania) for hotel accomodations. The beaches are 10 times nicer and resorts are much nicer and 3 times less expensive than Grand Bay Beach "resort". Overall, the Chania/West End of the island is the most beautiful in my opinion, but this hotel is definitely a miserable place to stay. Read more

This was the last of four hotels that we stayed at while touring around Crete and it was by far the worst and most dissappointing. I most certainly would not recommend it and won't be returning. The hotel was tired and lacking tlc! The bar staff were great, but everywhere else they seemed lazy, maybe because they were short staffed?The food was awful […] and even at the beginning of restaurant service looked as if it had been there for a long time and wasn't always hot. As a result we ate out each evening and declined breakfast on the last day as we couldn't find clean glasses, cups, etc. Read more

we had a very good time over all. the hotel staff is so kind, but we had trouble consuming the breakfast served- but quality food, issues of hygiene occurred as well..

Lovely hotel. I like the idea of having small swimming pools around the hotel (some for private use only). Lots of families. Beach was pebbles. In a village. Grear if you want a relaxed beach holiday with trips to Chania. Anything further is a trek.

Everything in this hotel is just great. Big and clean rooms, good breakfast, very nice and helpful personnel, good location in the village of Kolymvari with nice neighborhood, and above all, being just besides the sea. Just keep in mind that the hotel's beach is not sandy but is full of small stones so it is better that you take a good paire slipper […] shoes with you. Read more

Hotel was ok, however breakfast was not good, and most of personnel is far below average.

This is the best hotel I have come across, with breathtaking views, private pools, sumptuous lay of buffet breakfast, friendly & helpful staff, and the most gorgeous views from your room. We had a sea side room and used to wake up to a beautiful sunrise everyday. We stayed there for 6 days and are already planning our next holiday trip there. If you […] want to stay away from the crowd and enjoy a peaceful holiday, then this is the place to be. Its easily connected to the national road and you can reach most of the other towns in half hour. The village itself is quaint and beautiful with local shops, pharmacies, supermarkets, restaurants, and bakeries just walking distance from the hotel. I would give this Hotel a 10/10 and would recommend it to everyone heading to Crete. Read more

Didnt really get a sea view from the start. After complaining we got a perfect room with sea view, and direct access to pool bar and the beach by just walking out the door facing the sea. Slow internet connection which was not included in our price. Not much to do in the neighbourhood but a relaxing hotel if you just want to read and sunbath. A but […] far from the traditional tourist places like Platanias and Agia Maria, but good bus connection to those places. If the breakfast would have been better, it would have been a 4 instead of a 3 overall. Read more

Hadde visse forventninger til hotellet før avreise. Alle ble innfridd 100%. Nydelig beliggenhet, god mat og serviceinnstilt betjening. Rengjøring hver dag. Jevnt over god standard. Anbefaler alle en tur til dette hotellet. Vi skal tilbake. :)

Vi fikk tilbud om gratis bytte til nytt hotell, dette var fint. Ellers stemmer ikke beskrivelsen om Grand Bay Beach Resort. Dette var ikke et fint hotell.

Il personale è cordiale, la struttura è posizionata sul mare, la sala colazioni ristorante è molto rilassante, in riva al mare.

Generelt et dejligt ophold. Meget venligt personale, men hygiejnen o forhold til poolerne er ikke i orden. Vi var der i 8 fulde dage, og så en pool mand 1 gang, og det var kun for at hælde mere clor i vandet. Poolene blev på intet tidspunkt støvsuget for jord, sand eller døde dyr. Hotellet ligger direkte til havet, hvilket er fantastisk, maden er god, […] men muligvis skal man skrive på nettet, at dette er et all inclusive hotel, det opdagede vi først, da vi var ankommet.

Ottimo sotto tutti i punti di vista. Il personale è veramente gentile ed ospitale ed è stato il valore aggiunto alla nostra vacanza. Peccato solo la spiaggia in ciottoli (ma un venialità pvviabile con un paio di scarpette acquistabili per pochi euro fuori dall'Hotel)

Jag och en kompis åkte i april vilket är lågsäsong. Hotellets standard är bra och har trevlig personal. Supermarkets finns på gångavstånd. Det stod dock att "alla enheter på hotellet med 4 stjärnor har pentry med kylskåp" vilket inte vi märkte något av. När vi var där var det inte många restauranger öppna runtomkring vilket var lite synd eftersom vi […] bara hade betalat för frukost buffé. Men jag skulle tro att den lilla byn eller staden kanske det är, livas upp mer på sommaren. Jag skulle verkligen rekommendera stället till barnfamiljer eller par som vill ha en lugn semester i ett väldigt mysigt område. Read more

Siisti ja hienolla paikalla meren rannalla sijaitseva hotelli, buffetaamiainen oli mahtava. Miinuksena sijainti, auto on ehdoton jos täällä viettää viikonkin!

Les plus: Chambre de très bon confort; propreté; terrasse très agréable pour le petit-déjeûner;hôtel sur la mer. Les moins: Il conviendrait de préciser que la vue mer peut être partielle et latérale. Par ailleurs, le personnel de la réception ne manifeste pas toujours une réelle ardeur face aux problèmes. Enfin, la piscine n'est pas assez grande et […] manque d'un espace avec parasols et transats. Note globale = 13,5 Read more
