“Off season Gem, be flexible!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

First, the staff was outstanding- Anna, Dmitri and Jaba made our stay. We arranged for a car after arriving, no problems. The room was comfortable , the view was Incredible and while American travellers need to bring wash cloths and facial tissues, experienced travelers will be fine. We came the week before they closed, but every detail was attended to- the jacuzzi in the great spa didn't bubble, but we didn't care as the pool was wonderful as was the sauna. The hotel is at the end of a paved road and directly across a great beach. The half board option was good although the buffett ended on our first weekend there - food was good, but as we were exploring, a couple of tavernas stood out also. Horseback riding can be arranged with excellent horse and staff, we did a half day safari ride through Zoraidia Stables ..and it was excellent - I ride, my husband is still new but the one on one attention and the views made it all worth it!! A car made it easy to go to the CretAquarium, Knossos, Lappa, and Aptera. Actually quite easy to navigate with a map. Iraklion - drive and park at the port and get a map!!!! Only 1hr+ away, Knossos and other sites within driving distance. Great base from which to start your holiday.

Cant get any better with personal service, at least this time of year. Beach too cold to swim, but we were so busy with suggested excursions we didn't notice. Crete is a one of a kind of place, hopefully we will be back in May or June, it really is that incredible.

Room Tip: Ask for extra pillows if you want to have more than one!

“Great hotell with perfect location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

We were at first a bit disappointed with out room but got another room, a big suite with a huge balcony with sea view.
Very kind staff we were tiered after the trip and did not have energy to rush to the restaurant before they closed so then they got some food from the restaurant and brought it to our room.
Great location very close to the beach the only minus was the noise from a disco by the beach but we slept fairly ok anyway!

“Good hotel on the beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

The hotel was nice enough - we had a side room so had restricted views of beach. Staff were friendly. We had no remote control for tv which was not an issue as we only watch tv when going to sleep. When we told staff they gave us an old broken one - better than none.
Breakfast was down the road only a short stroll but was excellent with large variety of food.
For the price I think rooms could have been a bit bigger with better views. Have stayed at better for less money.
Strange they rang the afternoon before checkout and asked us to pay - not sure why?
Appears marketed to German clientele.
Rooftop bar gets a big thumbs up with 4 euro cocktail of the day or 6.50 standard price and great service

“Previous reviews gave me high expectations - I was not disappointed.”

This is a good 4* hotel facing the beach at the gorgeous fishing village of Georgioupolis. It has become a tourist centre for reasons that will be obvious once you get there. There is a long sandy beach and the sea is quite shallow for some distance out. There are a variety of beach bars and various hotels. The Corissia Princess is probably the best one there. There is also a small port area, where the fishing boats come in. The river is very cold and makes the sea nearby interesting. If you go to the port, you must see the pelican there - he or she is beautiful! The village also has a square surrounded by bars and restaurants a few hundred yards inland, which makes an excellent place to end the day with a coffee or a drink and watch the world go by. Although some say that the rooms are small, we did not find that although they are a little narrow. We did find the bed hard but the staff were very happy to provide a fleece to go on top of the mattress, which helped. There was plenty of hanging and storage space. The bathroom had a shower - no bath, which suited us but the larger rooms did have a bath, we noticed. What was amazing was the value for money. The breakfasts were everything you could ask for - whichever country you came from and the dinners were a pleasant surprise. You should take the half board option because for under £2 per head per day you can dine in the evening at the buffet, which had an enormous choice of hot and cold foods. My wife likes all sorts of food but I am a very picky eater, liking only plain food. We both enjoyed every evening at the Corissia Park, which is where you dine. If you want to, you can miss an evening and eat in one of the plentiful restaurants and it will not be much of a financial loss. We intended to but never got round to it because the food at Corissia was so good and so varied.
Very few English stay at the Corissia Princess (there were few English in the town) and it is a place used mainly by German and Austrian tour companies. We noticed that everyone there was very civilised and the whole area around Georgioupolis appeared quite well-to-do. There was no rowdyness anywhere but do bear in mind that the locals tend to speak very loudly to each other!

“German neatness, wonderful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2010

We get a very low-priced offer to stay in this hotel and we were happy to choose it. We were staying there in the low season, so there were not many travelers. The stafff was very attentive.
Negatives: not cosy beach, any of sport activities.
Food in the restaurant - average, nothing special, but quite good. Glass of wine -2,1eur, other drinks are more expensive.
We can suggest a cheap and cosy taverna for the lunch in the near Kavros village, near the supermarkets - Asteri. The 0,5 litre of home wine - 1,7eur, big and delicious mousaka - 4,8eur and also two glasses of wine extra;)
