an unfortunate experience
we were firstly offered a room in the depths of the hotel which was almost inaccesable with approx 20 steps we were then given a room which had no wardrobes no cupboards and no draw space and had to live out of our suitecase for the week the internal phone did not work at all there were no pluses at about this hotel and should never be rated as five star which we expected and think that you should send a rep for first hand experience

Gallini hotel was a nice stay. The staff were really good - reception, dining room, and room service. They provided a really professional, and friendly atmosphere. Special thanks to Sofia - customer relations Manageress. She helped us with tours, transfers, and good advice on excursions which we wholeheartedly appreciate. Gallini provided us with an extremely relaxed vacation. Thank you

Property definitely not 5 star ! Many things not as expected after previous 5 star experiences! Pool was very small , made to seem mich bigger on advertising, surrounded by balconese beds which was intimidating! rooms alrhough clean were under equipped- no drawers ? Open wardrobe , no mirror above vanity table, although vanity stool was there ? Pool towel exchange in a basket in front of reception - very unsuitable and untidy! Bathroom areas around reception not checked and cleaned during the day - was needed. Entertainment was very poor - disappointed no Greek music, dancing. Good points- breakfast buffet was plentiful and varied, cleaners worked hard , staff were generally very pleasant, although on checking out nobody thanked us for staying and basically ignored us , just chatting amongst themselves - topped off quite an underwhelming stay.

Room for improvements
Over all experience, it’s okay, the hotel is in need of refurbishment especially exteriors areas just some of the examples again, this might be a one off, but this is my personal experience no air condition on and off for 48 hours in temperatures, reaching 46c outside No water running at times during my 5 day stay also there is charge for all and then refunded at the end of the stay example need towels €10 euro each need a extra key €10 euros never been charged in a 5 star hotel before ? This hotel is more like a 3 star to 4 star at best But staff was very helpful and polite. I think it’s just the rules for the hotel that have been put in place that had to follow, but they could not be so more to help you considering the circumstances.

The hotel was very cute and quite. Staff were very helpful and friendly. But this hotel for sure is not a five star as the hotel is very old and need refurbishment, also the food is not for a five star hotel, food options is very limited, i have been to many all inclusive hotels and never seen some thing like this.

Initial reception was good. Disappointment upon entering the room. Wardrobe doors removed for some reason. Black grouting in shower compartment. Design of chair on veranda of pool access room was dangerous. decking was uneven and poor quality. loungers were old an not easily moved due to screw heads which had previously held some sort of foot to the lounger now digging into the wood of the decking. The dining facilities were worse than a works canteen. An eating factory with no atmosphere, tables a metre from each other and a turnaround time for evening meal of 15 minutes. Awful. Not a one star experience. Can't imagine where 5* came from.

The hotel was lovely, nice peaceful, quiet atmosphere and a very relaxing stay! The amenities are great lots of different pools and chill out areas, we made us of the free gym too which had everything we needed. Food was nice would of liked a bit more of a variety though. Room was clean, nice welcome pack only issue was no instructions for the safe and the shower was in need of a bit of tlc (shower head wouldn’t stay up on the pole and there was no plug to run a bath). Otherwise a lovely, relaxing place with very welcoming, friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Paid for a double sea view room which was on the 5th floor at the front of the main hotel building so the room location and view could not have been better. Would not have been happy to have been in one of the annex buildings, including the one down near the beach. Also some 'land view' rooms look to be in disappointing locations. Don't know where the 5 star claim comes from, this is a very average 3 star at best. Restaurant food also average and not particularly to UK tastes although always found something to eat. We experienced some illness during our stay and were a bit disappointed that hotels like this with a large self-service buffet style restaurant don't have a hand gel policy. Similarly they allow water fountains to be contaminated with guests refilling bottles directly from the nozzles. Air-con in room worked only intermittently, servicing of rooms was a bit haphazard including toilet bin not being emptied on one occasion. Bottled water in room replenished, strangely, every third day. Overall, had a decent week's weather (mid-May) which helped us enjoy our week in Crete, but won't be going back to either the Galini or the Stalos region again.

We loved our stay at this hotel. Staff were all very pleasant, our room was lovely with an excellent view. The Galini also has its own beach complete with beach bar, which was lovely. I would recommend this hotel to anyone in need of a nice, peaceful break. Please be aware though, that there isn't any in-house entertainment provided, so for this, a person would perhaps need to take a short stroll into the town.

Lovely hotel
Hotel was much larger than I had expected, but lovely - 4 swimming pools (plus a shared pool available with our room) to choose from and a good selection of bars. There was some confusion with our booking/check-in and we weren't given the all-inclusive passes until we queried it the next day. I'm not sure if it was a problem of our booking through Expedia, but we paid significantly less than what we would have if we'd booked direct with the hotel. We had print outs of our booking to evidence what we'd paid for. Had pretty rubbish weather the first 2 days, and the hotel's tiled floors are not particularly safe when wet, but glorious sunshine at the end of our stay. There are quite a few stairs, so not appropriate for those with limited mobility. Food wise, there's good choice if you arrive for your meals on time. Don't rely on the "late breakfast" from 10-11am as it's only pastries left. Queues for dinner, but it moves fairly quickly.

Good stay
Had a comfortable stay at the hotel. Was feeling quite burnt out, so not having to make any choices as I had the all-inclusive service was a blessing. The food selection on every meal was quite massive and also had a good selection of salads which was a big plus. Easy access to Chania town via bus (maybe 20-30 mins) and quite a few restaurants and little shops around the hotel area. It was a really touristy area, but luckily buses and cars take you wherever you want. The beach was lined with one hotel after another, but the water was wonderfully clear and warm. The hotel staff was friendly and overall the hotel area was neat. There was a shuttle from the reception to the beach, as the hill was quite steep. Wonderful for walking, though. The spa was nice too. Overall, a very good stay but not necessarily 5 stars. It was 4 stars would be closer to reality, but I really have no complaints. My stay was just what I needed to relax. Close to the beach, a few nice pools, good food, good access to town and had a gym. Would recommend the hotel for an easy stay.

For sure the hotel is not 5 stars, This hotel should be rated as 2.5 or 3 stars. The food is ok. For the beach you need to take a shuttle and in general the hotel has a lot of stairs so should not be recommended for old ppl. In general i will say just ok hotel. Honestly i will try other hotel for my next visit to crete. Good point is that the day of the checkout you can use the all inclusive until you leave the hotel
