Location: This hotel is located in Crete, the largest Greek island, on a pretty coastal road right next to the hotel's private beach. The island includes a number of mountains, which line the south coast with steep cliffs to the flat north, as well as a consistent Mediterranean climate. The bus stop is just a hop, skip and a jump from the hotel. The nearest holiday resort of Platanes is within 6 km of the hotel and the popular city of Rethymnon, with the picturesque harbour and plenty of shops, is located 12 km from the hotel. There is a regular bus service that can be taken advantage of and the transfer time to Chania and Heraklion airports is about 2 hours.
Meals: The dining area includes a restaurant and a bar. Catering options include half board and all-inclusive. All-inclusive holidaymakers enjoy special extras like snacks, in addition to a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. A generous breakfast buffet provides many delicious reasons to rise and shine.

“Creta Royal Hotel in Skaleta... very good indeed”
Creta Royal Hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The facilities were clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely service‑minded, friendly, and competent. It’s rare to encounter a place where there isn’t a single grumpy face. The beach was conveniently right next to the hotel with no roads … more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
