Maleme, Louis Creta Princess Hotel

I would never go back to the Louis Creta Princess hotel. The hotel itself is ok and the pools were great, but one evening the entertainment staff was putting on a sketch and in front of a room full of children (our daughter who was 3 included) thought it would be funny to create a suicide sketch, they put black bags over their heads, then that wasn't meant to have worked and then 2 nouces fell from the ceiling and they stood on chairs and jumped off. I thought this was appalling and complained to the staff and created a review on trip advisor when we came home and the response from the hotel was maybe one of their other hotels would be more suited to us!!

This family-run Hotel was really nice. The location was beaut as you could outside on your private balconey to watch the sunrise over the water. We had a large van ( Toyota Tarago size ) and I thought parking was going to be a problem but,no, the owner strategically places chairs outside his hotel for his guests who have cars. It seems to be a time honoured thing amongst the local Hotel operators.The rooms were clean and tidy.Location was good and was a healthy walk to the centre of action. It is in a nice quiet location. Yes , it is worth it.

We have been on several AI packages, in Greece and elsewhere. We liked the Louis Creta Princess Club Hotel as we were able to sit on the balcony outside the hotel bar in the evenings. The children were entertained at the outside entertainment area towards the beach, so we were not disturbed by the entertainment. A range of nationalities are catered for, we are not keen on staying in UK only hotels, as we don't appreciate the yob mentality of many brits abroad. Hire a car and explore the secluded beaches to the West. Samaria gorge was exilerating, but take walking boots and don't expect to be able to move for 3 days afterwards, the muscles around the tops of my knees and calves seized up! Lots of variety at meal times, separate dining room for AI and H/B guests.

My wife and I have just returned from a week at the Louis Creta Princess. I can safely say that it was one of the best holidays we have had. The hotel had its own beach, pebbly, but there was some sand to relax on. There are 3 pools, one shallow for the children, and the other 2 weren't that deep so you could still stand up in them. There was something different to eat everyday, and as the main restaurant was large, we never had to queue to wait for a table. There are also 2 snack bars and a sandwich bar available if you wanted a snack. There were a couple of Tavernas a short walk away, but we didn't need to leave the hotel once. The food was top class in ALL restaurants and snack bars. This is mainly an all inclusive hotel, but was one the best value for money that I have been on. We are both hoping to return next year, but for 2 weeks.
