Overall experience was positive and don’t really want to dwell on the negatives too much but will list as they are important. The service throughout our family of 4 holiday was on point, met with cold towels on arrival, lift to the room and day in day out the service was impeccable along with the choice of food at each meal time. The rooms were really clean, all pools and services were spotless throughout the whole week. Great access to a small private beach and a short walk to the quaint local town. Now for the negatives - 1 - was sold by TUI an all inclusive ‘bungalow’ which turned out to just be a single room with 4 beds in it for 2 adults, a 13 yo girl and a 2 year old. Was told we should have booked a family room but this really shouldn’t have been sold to us. We accepted this as our fault but the hotel were great and changed our room to a ‘family bungalow’ which worked well. I will accept this was maybe an error on our part but TUI/hotel shouldn’t have accept d the booking or contacted us before hand. 2 - The family bungalow we were put in was situated below part of the dining room. If you are like us you have a young baby and like to eat early, be warned all you will hear until around 9:30 is chairs shuffling around keeping your children awake. Really placing a family room under here isn’t acceptable. 3 - Main pool area is where the main restaurant is, on an evening when everyone goes for dinner the floor is like an ice rink due to the type of tiles on the floor and the floor still being greasy from all the sun cream used throughout the day, be warned watch your step.

We booked a ground-floor bungalow with sea view and a king-size bed, paying extra because we are traveling with 7-month-old twins. At check-in, however, we were told we had been “upgraded” to a family bungalow. I refused the upgrade, asking for the exact room we had booked, and was told I could change it later if I didn’t like it. Half an hour later, after seeing the chaos of two single beds pushed together plus four unnecessary extra beds crammed into the space, I went back to reception—only to be told that at midnight the hotel was full and no change was possible. Two completely different answers within minutes is simply unacceptable. This was our first holiday with the babies and it was ruined from the first night. When I raised the issue, the man at reception responded with arrogance, saying things like “this is what you paid for” and even “these are our beds.” When I complained about the sea view he sarcastically said, “it’s night now, you can’t see it.” The only positive note that evening was a very kind and empathetic lady at reception who promised a topper for the bed — not a full solution, but at least she tried. The next morning, things improved. I spoke with the manager, who was extremely polite and helpful, and later a lovely staff member personally showed me a different room — smaller, cozy, with a much better sea view, and perfect for our needs. From that moment, we could finally enjoy our holiday. The resort itself is very large and beautifully maintained, with multiple pools (big and small), restaurants, beach bars, water sports options, and a private beach within easy reach. The food selection is generous and tasty, and the staff throughout the resort are friendly and attentive. So while our first night was unpleasant and stressful, the following days completely changed our impression and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy the stay.

We had an amazing 8-day family vacation at this all-inclusive resort! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding – luggage taken care of right away, cold towels to refresh us, and even an upgrade to a bungalow close to the playground since we had a baby. The food was varied and delicious, the drinks and cocktails were excellent, and the kids had endless fun at the water park with great slides. The evening shows and parties were lively and entertaining. The rooms were comfortable and the location was perfect for families. On our departure day, the staff went above and beyond by opening the dining room at 5 AM just for us. Exceptional service all around – we will definitely be back with the extended family!

Working in the tourism industry, I’ve had the chance to visit many hotels — and as a regular guest of the Grecotel chain, I can truly say that each property has its own unique charm. The Marine Palace is the perfect place for a wonderful family holiday! Beautiful rooms, delicious food, great facilities for children, and above all, exceptionally kind and welcoming staff. What more can I say, except a heartfelt thank you!
Milan Hausner
Grecotel Marine Palace is a beautiful hotel complex located directly on a stunning sandy beach, surrounded by a vast and carefully maintained Mediterranean garden. The resort is set on gently sloping terrain and consists of a main building, a bungalow area, and a large water park that's especially popular with children. The hotel stands out for its relaxing atmosphere and high-quality services. The rooms are spacious, bright, and tastefully furnished, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are several restaurants and bars on-site, six swimming pools, sports facilities, a wellness center, and both outdoor and indoor fitness areas. An extensive entertainment program is available for both kids and adults. Special attention is given to families, with a rich kids’ program, playgrounds, and even a daily nursery, making this hotel an excellent choice for families with children. The food is excellent, offering a wide selection of international, Greek, Italian, and Asian cuisine, as well as a generous variety of fruits, vegetables, desserts, and drinks—including a broad range of cocktails. All areas of the hotel are spotlessly clean and well-maintained. A special highlight is the genuinely warm, friendly, and accommodating approach of the hotel staff and management. The entire stay was unforgettable, and I will definitely return. I highly recommend this hotel even to more demanding guests—there's truly something for everyone to enjoy here. A big thank you to the entire hotel team for a wonderful stay and an unforgettable experience!
