Grand Hotel Holiday Resort

My first time in this hotel but it won't be my last. The rooms are perfect with everything you need, the pools and waterpark are great. There is a free ride up to your room but if you have problems with walking up a slight incline ask for a lower room. All the staff are first class and very helpful. The food is plentiful and the cakes are so yummy. I was a solo traveller and was made welcome by everyone. You are given a wrist band which is scanned each time you purchase a drink etc, you then pay at the end of your stay. All in all I had a wonderful holiday,and if you have kids they won't want to leave.

We have just come baxk from a week here and it was great. Lovely clean resort with plenty to do, or plenty not to do, whichever you prefer. Food was good (we were all inclusive-recommended) and all staff friendly (for the most part). There is a kids club where the staff were just great (and take on other roles throughout the day too for adults). Nice and quiet resort where you didn’t need to necessarily go out of unless you really wanted to!

What a beautiful hotel! Without a doubt one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff were absolutely amazing, so very hard working, very helpful and always with a smile. After staying for a week with my 13 year old daughter we would definitely return. Our room and balcony were spacious and clean with the option of a safe and the gorgeous sea and Mountain Views were just lovely. There is also a handy small fridge in the room to keep drinks and tea and coffee making facilities. There are a variety of pools to choose from, we always got a sun bed without issue. The pool with the slides was our favourite, we had hours of fun going on them. Having stayed half board (which was perfect for us) , I can’t believe how many options there were to choose from! You are honestly spoilt for choice, there is something for everyone. The Lamb chops were the best I have ever tasted, the breakfasts were so brilliant and the desserts were out of this world! The location of the hotel was also great for us, a supermarket 2 minutes walk away, bus stop literally right at the front of the hotel. There is also a free shuttle bus service to and from Stalis beach a 5 minute drive away. If wanting to travel into Hersonissos, you can get the bus right outside which takes about 10 minutes and is only 2euros per person per way. I feel we chose extremely well in choosing to stay at the Grand Hotel, it was everything we wanted and needed it to be for a perfect weeks stay during May half term!

Absolutely brilliant. Couldn't fault it and would be more than happy to come back. Particularly impressed with their allergy management. Considering the food was all inclusive buffet style in the main restaurant, they were very careful about contamination, were able to clearly articulate the ingredients in every dish, were more than happy to provide seperately made food where required, supplied additonal items such as 'free from' products and most importantly, I did not have an allergic reaction the whole time I was there. Very impressed with the care and attention to detail of all the staff, not just relating to food. All the resort staff were helpful and there is a little shop and a jewelery store which are both fairly priced and had everything you could need. There is even a little golf buggy to help you up the hill for those that need/want it. I was impressed with the thought that has clearly gone into the overall guest experience.

I can’t wait to leave , beautiful hotel , immaculate and spacious, however I have never accepted such disgusting treatment , one particular member of staff is incredibly rude , abrupt and damn right offensive , I will be making more of a complaint on my departure but I must say this one member of staff has totally ruined my holiday experience .. shall never be back and can never recommend such a beautiful place, I feel sorry upset and insulted by this after the large amount of money I spent to be here

We’ve just finished our holiday today and it was great. We travelled here with our 6 month old baby and they was very accommodating. We had a cot set up in the room for us. The rooms and the hotel in general is very clean. The bar staff are lovely and the restaurant staff are also lovely. All the staff were great with our baby. Always stopping us to talk to him. The food is lovely and a good selection everyday for both a meat eater and a vegetarian. The pool facilities are very clean and big. They were fairly cold but once you’re in the water it’s fine. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel which will take you to Malia. Hersonissos centre and Heraklion for a very good price. The hotel is set on a hill so expect a fair bit of walking when staying here. We really enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommend.

Lovely hotel, the hotel itself and the grounds, pool areas and communal areas were absolutely spotless. The staff were very friendly and the food was good with lots of choice for breakfast, lunch and evening dinner. Only downside was there's not much atmosphere in the main bar at night if you prefer to stay in the hotel for entertainment.
