“Lovely Stay at Galazio Beach Resort”

We arrived at the hotel around midnight after a late flight and check-in was smooth and efficient with us being shown personally to the room and all its features. I had pre-emailed ahead requesting to be allocated room 61, which had been confirmed. However, upon arrival, we were given room 63 instead. The receptionist explained that a family had requested rooms 61 and 62 as they were interconnected, which made sense. In hindsight, I was actually glad about this change as rooms 63 and 64 get the most sun throughout the afternoon, while 61 and 62 are more overlooked, being close to the reception. Our room was interconnected with room 64, and the doors are not soundproof. During our stay, we were disturbed by noise from neighboring room, first by two young girls returning at 4am and later by the children of a new family who moved in which is a shame considering everything else was so perfect. The room itself was spotless, with a great shower and a very comfortable bed. Housekeeping did an excellent job keeping everything clean and tidy throughout the week. One thing to be aware of, though, is mosquitoes. We travelled in mid-October and were bitten quite a bit, even after buying repellent and using a plug-in near the bed. It didn’t make much difference, so it’s definitely worth coming prepared with stronger protection if you visit around this time of year. The breakfasts were lovely, with the team really looking after us each morning. Fresh omelettes were made to order, and the cappuccinos were perfect, some mornings even topped with a little love heart! We also dined in the hotel a few times and found the food to be of a high standard with good variety and friendly service. There are also some great restaurants close by too such as Tritonas Greek Traditional Taverna. We realised pretty quickly there is no such thing as a light lunch as the portion sizes are huge, so plan ahead and share if you can. There is also a supermarket attached to the hotel but dont worry if you cannot find everything you are looking for as there are a few others within a 5-10 minute walk too. The hotel’s beach is lovely and well maintained. You can pay €10 for the day, which gives you two sunbeds and you also receive a complimentary bottle of still water, complete with two glasses and an ice bucket, a nice touch that makes it feel great value for money. It can get quite windy on the beach, but inside the hotel grounds it feels much more sheltered, almost like a sun trap. We loved being able to start the day by the pool, using the sunbeds on one side, and then move onto our swim-up balcony in the afternoon to catch the best of the sun. If you’re wondering whether the swim-up rooms are worth the extra, they absolutely are. We took the Train Tour to Port Hersonissos, with a stop just outside the hotel. It was well worth the €17.50 per person as a hop-on hop-off option which you can book online or when you board. We also took a day trip to Santorini, with pick-up being only a five-minute walk from the hotel. Overall, even with sound proofing issues it was still a relaxing and enjoyable stay with a friendly team, great food, and a comfortable base for exploring beautiful Crete. We would happily return and recommend to anyone.

Amazing hotel and staff. Everyone we came across throughout our week there were so friendly and answered any questions we had. I'd emailed many times prior to arriving and my emails were answered within hours. Great communication from the hotel prior and during our stay. We were shown to our room late at night and given a tour of the room, shown how things work and what amenities were included. The guy was very informative especially late at night after a long day This was a really nice personal touch amd made us feel very welcome. We had a double room and found the room spacious and very comfortable for a weeks stay. The tv with Netflix, YouTube, Disney etc was an added bonus for those nights we wanted a chill night. The bed was the comfiest bed, two huge pillows each and a duvet in the wardrobe for the colder nights. Fantastic location , right on the beach and near restaurants and bars. I normally don't return to hotels as I like to stay in different places. We've already said we want to return here in the future as the service and hotel were fantastic.
