Real Palace, was a great place to stop for my first holiday without the parents. My group and I arrived quite late, and weren't in the best spirits after flight delays, but Manos and Costas were very welcoming. Although one of the rooms wasn't ready we didn't mind because they moved an extra bed into one of the rooms so... More

There is a review from one of the lads in my group further down on this page (we're the ones that they robbed blind) but I wanted to add my two cents. Manos seems to be a lovely hard-working guy who is trying to make the best of his business during what must be very bad economical times for them.... More

Me and my partner have just returned from malia & the real palace where we stayed for just over 2 weeks. As the last people said we were also slightly concerned as we had seen the bad reviews but we needn't of worried. As a young couple (20 & 23) we wanted to be close to the nightlife but also... More

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Real Palace Apts and loved every minute. We were slightly concerned before going due to some negative reviews.

I stayed here last summer (June - August 2010) with 6 of my friends for 6 weeks and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Its a... More

Me and a group of lads went to stay at the real palace hopping for a great time. First of all when we arrived, we noticed it was a good 15 walk to the strip, which is a very unpleasant walk at night, with locals keeping a close eye you. The rooms are very basic and cheap, and the managers... More

Me my son, and I friend booked with ice lollie.com to go to Crete on the 16th of aug 2011 for 10 nights, this was not the hotel a booked at the time we were meant to be... More

Booked at the last minute, my wife & I, 14 year old daughter and 8 year old son stayed at the family run Real Palace 9 Aug - 23 Aug and had a really great time. Tired, having taken a late flight from Manchester and 1hr 20min shuttle transfer from the airport to the hotel, we where warmly greeted at... More
