"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 We had an amazing stay at Minos Imperial Luxury and would gladly rate it 5/5. The hotel offers everything needed for a perfect vacation. The food was excellent, with a great variety and high quality. We especially enjoyed the à la carte restaurants, where the service was truly outstanding. A special thank you to Sameer, the captain at the à la carte restaurant. He made our dining experience unforgettable. With great attention and professionalism, he shared fascinating stories about Greece, local wines, and beautiful places to visit. He created such a warm and pleasant atmosphere for us. The beach is another big advantage of this hotel — very suitable even for children, thanks to the stone wave protection, which makes the water calmer and safer. We chose a sea-view room, and it was absolutely worth the cost. The view was breathtaking. The room was beautiful, very clean, and perfectly suited for us, with both a bathtub and shower, a comfortable king-size bed, and a balcony overlooking the sea. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again."

"aegeo spa-Massage therapist - „CHRYSA“ I have received dozens of massages across 19 countries, but this was a masterclass in massage therapy. For the first time ever, I was able to deeply relax. The execution was exquisite, flawless, and deeply heartfelt. Pure poetry in motion. It truly cannot get any better than this!!!"

"I recently stayed at Grecotel Meli Palace in Sissi, Crete as a solo traveler and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is set in a beautiful beachfront location with stunning sea views and well-maintained gardens, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always happy to help and making me feel comfortable throughout my stay. The food was varied, fresh, and of good quality, with plenty of options at every meal. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the quiet environment and the opportunity to relax by the pool or beach. The nearby village of Sissi is charming and worth exploring, with lovely waterfront restaurants and cafés. While some of the rooms could benefit from modernization, they were clean, comfortable, and well cared for. One area that could be improved is the Wi-Fi in the rooms, which was intermittent at times and not always reliable. However, this did not significantly affect my overall enjoyment of the holiday. Overall, the excellent service, beautiful surroundings, and relaxing atmosphere more than made up for the minor shortcomings. I would highly recommend Grecotel Meli Palace to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday in Crete, especially solo travelers, couples, and those wanting to unwind by the sea."

"I have been staying at this hotel for the past 20 years, multiple times a year. As part of that I have been a customer that did not know the family that run it, but also became a friend of the family that run it, as most repeat customers have. For the 2024 season, and maybe more, the family who own the property have leased the business to another family. With this in mind I had no alarm bells about staying as usual. Having the original family not there would be a massive change for me as they are a key part of my holiday, however as I previously said, I originally stayed here without knowing them and had wonderful holidays, and loved the Bella Vista. So this year I decided to have my holiday like it was my first time staying here. I was aware and ready to get used to processes, menus, etc were likely to be different, but the key elements, the pool, the location, the relaxing holiday, the lovely rooms, the lovely grounds would all still be there for my holiday. I'm writing this review also to address a few points raised in another review from July 24 as although we are all welcome to our own views and that is important, I think its important to keep customers updated and reassure those regular customers and new customers who have booked holidays here. We arrived at 11pm and found our name on a notice on the gate as usual, informing us the room number, however no lights were on through the apartment areas which are filled with stairs and steps, I used my phone torch and already knew where the apartment number we needed was, so went straight there. If you were a new customer the lights being off would cause a big problem and a health and safety issue due to the steps etc. With all new businesses there will be teething problems, and I trust that these lights will be back on when it becomes dark moving forward and that the new managers simply haven't got into the swing of these lights going on. Reception has been the Bar for the 20 years I've holidayed there. There is an old reception room downstairs, but its locked and says that reception is at the bar. The room was one of the oldest rooms, and one I like for the rustic charm, wooden beams and stone floor. It was as always clean, a lovely view, lovely bright curtains and clean linen and towels. The linen was changed, the towels were changed regularly, the bins were emptied and the apartment was clean at all times. In the other July 24 review posted on here it refers to the room as being like a prison cell, i have stayed in all the types of rooms here, and this stay was the most basic room, which is what I requested for convenience, and there are certainly no rooms here that could be described as anything close to a prison cell. There are plenty of photos on here of the rooms and balconies, and also on the Bella Vista Website you can see all the room photos. The aircon in every apartment is in the bedroom(as far as i recall), and is suitable for the whole apartment, we slept one person in th"

"I couldn't describe it any better. Truly wonderful. It is our last day here, We came to Castello Resort Village for 10 days. Everything was perfect. The food and service were excellent. We met the manager Ervis, who did everything to provide excellent service. We were also lucky enough to meet Christopher a great administrator there, He was very polite and a true gentleman. We will definitely be back. We recommend it without a doubt!"

"We had a beautiful room with a pool and sea view. Very clean, with everything we needed. The atmosphere was relaxing, welcoming, and warm. The restaurant was really good, with a wide choice of food. The staff were extremely welcoming. We had the chance to go to the spa, and there too we had a lovely time. We rented a car through the hotel, and the person who helped us was very welcoming — everything went smoothly and easily. A special mention for Mary and Mohamad, who welcomed us so, so warmly from our very first visit to the restaurant, and every day after that, morning, noon, and evening."

"Comfortable, traditional 1 bed apartment, spotlessly clean, front line with great sea front views (Apt 14). We very much enjoyed our stay and do hope to visit again. Very close to some fabulous restaurants, tavernas and shops - lots of choice in Sissi village. Friendly staff and great pool too. Great comms. Thank you Anthi"
