Recensioni su Grand Hotel Holiday Resort

We’ve just returned from a two week holiday here. We had a great time. The hotel is a very good 4 star hotel. The rooms are basic, we booked two rooms, one for my husband and I and another for our 2 teens. We booked 2 superior sea views, and I’d emailed the hotel to request that the rooms are next to each other. The rooms were opposite each other in block 900. Which meant only one had a sea view and the other a mountain/road view. The sea/pool view room was dated but huge, the other was very small but more modern. I think the decor varies from room to room. We did ask reception if we could possibly move to have 2 sea view rooms as we’d paid for , but the only rooms available were right at the top of the hill and were both very small, our kids preferred their huge room! It was disappointing but did not ruin our holiday. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the grounds are maintained very well. Rooms were cleaned and towels changed daily. The staff are all lovely , as mentioned in other reviews, George and the restaurant staff are happy and friendly. Luca does a fantastic job of entertaining and we loved his aqua aerobics! The food is plentiful and changes daily, lots of delicious things to choose from. The a la cart restaurants are very good, make sure you go hungry as you get a lot of food! My only criticism is the meat was sometimes very fatty in the buffet restaurant. Another negative is the gym, which I know is not on everyone’s top things to do on holiday! But it had no air conditioning, no free weights and not enough machines to use. The water slides are great fun, all the pools are clean and safe, lifeguards around all the time, plus there was always plenty of sunbeds even after 10am, no getting up at stupid a clock to reserve! We walked into Stalis a few times in the evening which takes around 20 mins with lots of bars a restaurants available. We also used the free shuttle to the beach from the hotel on some days too. The beach is busy but great for a change. We also walked into Hersonissos, which again is about 20/30 min walk. We taxied back for €20 but we preferred Stalis. Just be aware the road outside the hotel is a busy main road, but there is an underground crossing you can use. We would definitely recommend this great family hotel, not sure if we’d go back as we like to try new places, but never say never!!
