i spent a week in hotel gortyna last july for my honeymoon and it was the worst hotel i have ever been to. we payed alot of money to stay there for our honeymoon all inclusive. the only good thing i came back with was a suntan. the cleaners only gave us clean towels twice which i thought was disgraceful, the food was the same basically everyday, the hotel was dirty itself and the staff werent very helpful. the pool was tiny and dirty too. and worst of all we wer the only english people there as it was full of germans who werent very pleasant. i would suggest to every1 NEVER EVER GO TO THIS HOTEL, especially for your honeymoon x

“Nice location, terrible hotel - big disappointment!”

Unfortunately we reserved 2 weeks with a half board in this miserable hotel on Crete.
Sometimes I ask myself if it could be worse.
The hotel comrises two buildings: an old mouldy and a not-so-long-ago built one.
Upon our arrival in the evening we were shown into a moudly and grey "room" on the ground floor, which resembled more a basement. Next morning a stray dog entered the room through the open balkony door, started barking and scared the hell out of me.
I insisted upon changing the hotel. After some hesitation the receptionist gave us a key to a room in a newer building. It was much better, but the mood had already been spoilt.
Ah, almost forgot to mention: in this new room the balkony overlooked the motorway (located some 30-40m away). Imagine how loud it was! Furthermore, dining in the evenings was not enjoyable at all. I am not picky, but if you eat things other than a self- mixed yoghurt for breakfast (had enough in 5 days!), then breakfasting is not gonna be enjoyable either. The hotel's pool looks big on the pictures only.
I like the location though. It lies ca. 13km away from Rethymno, almost in the centre of the island's north. We hired a car and explored Crete on our own. Once we went on an organized tour to Knossos.

Location around the hotel: the mountains are there and easy to climb up, the beach was okay, though to reach it you would have to cross a busy motorway - not something you really like doing at least twice a day or let your kids do. So please stay away from this hotel. I am sure there are much better hotels and B&Bs on this beautiful island.
