It’s our last day tomorrow but we will be back. This is our 4th year here and I can honestly say it’s even better than last year. They have a new chef and the food has gone from 4 star to 5****+++++++ The view is spectacular We went to the alacarte and the octopus was amazing as was everything else I used the spa and George was first class. I nearly didn’t bother as last year the girl was not good. He really was excellent. The best thing about the hotel is the service and the staff they are truly exceptional. Zoe the guest revelation manager is fantastic Anna on reception went out of her way to help us Kostas and Andreas in the bars were such characters and made you feel really special Even our room maid Katarina remembered us and gave me a hug when she saw us A true home from home experience it feels like coming home again We have recommended this hotel to friends and family and will continue to do so Thank you Grand Bay see you next year
What can I say . We had an amazing time here . From the moment we arrived and matteo signed us in . We where upgraded to a twin view room . The was large and had an amazing view also the bed was so comfortable and large . They have tea and coffee in the room and a fridge to store water and anything else we brought . The views at the hotel are one of the best we have every had . The outside restaurant is amazing it looks out over the sea and you can go there for ever meal . Zoe was on hand to help us always found us a seat even in the busy periods . All the staff in the restaurant where amazing and so friendly 😍. By the pool side the bar was run by andreas and he was so friendly always chatty and couldn't do enough to help us . In the evening the night bar was run by costa also amazing service and made my dry martini to perfection every night . The entertainment was good and bad but its a small hotel and they had to get the right balance for all guest. There is a bus station right out side the hotel which we used to get to chinia and was very easy to use . The hotel is in the village of kolyambri which we walked into and played some crazy golf and was in walking distance of a small harbour. The hotel os a small but lovely hotel . It it is not a modern hotel but it ticks all our boxes it is a really lovely greek hotel with the door that some time take a lot to shut 😀. The only thing I would say the alacarte was extra so we didn't go . Also there is a safe in the room but you have to pay extra . Which I dont thing you should do for an all inclusive resort . How ever if you have all inclusive plus these are given to you free plus the mini fridge would be filled as well . This didn't put us of the hotel as we are talking about going back next year . So thank you to all the staff from the house cleaning and chefs bar staff you where all amaxing
We had an amazing week at Grand Bay Beach. Beautiful suroundings, comfortable beds, big room, fantastic poolarea, perfect service and view over the beautiful ocean all the time. Hopefully we’ll come back soon!
Grand Bay is in a lovely quiet part of Crete, right on the beach. The hotel is extremely friendly and attentive to your every need, nothing was too much trouble from the minute we arrived to when we left. We booked a Double Room with Sea View, Shared Pool and Balcony (Room 208) which was perfect as you could see the beach from the sun loungers and even hear the sea at night. Our room was cleaned everyday with fresh linen and towels only sorry we didn’t get the lady’s name but she was so sweet. We booked All Inclusive and needed nothing more. The buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner had a great selection and Zoe the restaurant manager and her team were so attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Lefteris, Madolin, and many others in the team were so efficient in topping up drinks and clearing away empty plates! The pool and main bar staff were amazing. Andreas at the pool bar was the best bar man ever, learnt everyone’s name and drink on first meeting and never forgot. So professional, polite and friendly it was a pleasure ordering your drink from him! Adriano came to your lounger twice a day to take your order and bring the drink to you on pool side! Costas at the main bar at night was always friendly and remembered what you were drinking the night before! There was entertainment every other night which finished at 11pm. George in the spa gives a great back massage which my husband thoroughly recommends! This hotel is great value for money and we would go back in a heartbeat!
Lovely hotel, great food. Staff amazing. Amazing room. One problem, i have a mobility walker and there are too manr ramps and steps. I had ground floor room, down three steps, walk a few yards, down two more steps. To get to restaurant ramps over pools, slope down to restaurant from main floor, OR steep ramp down at side of restaurant. Great thing was, i have severe allergies and each day the manu was handed to me with my room number on it and all meals i could eat were highlighted by Zoey. FANTASTIC./ Would go back but will need lot's of exercise to manage without walker, maybe sticks instead.
Each section of rooms had own pools BUT, no hand rails to help get in or out.
