What guests think
At Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park, travelers highlight the family-friendly setup with multiple pools, a water park, and beach access, along with consistently warm staff and generally clean, well-kept grounds across a large, resort-style property.
Couples sometimes mention a quiet evening scene and a small or busy beach. Rooms are often spacious, though some feel dated, with hard beds or weak climate control, and Wi-Fi can be patchy. Dining wins praise for variety and a beach BBQ, but several reviews note repetitive buffets and limited or confusing a la carte bookings, with a few mentioning noisy dining rooms or warm outdoor seating. Best suited to travelers prioritizing on-site water fun over extensive nightlife or urban exploring.

Facilities
Multiple pools, a sizable water park, easy beach access, and family amenities are praised. Some note a small or crowded beach, cold aquapark water in cooler months, worn loungers or aging areas, towel or sunbed reservation hassles, and a low-key evening program.

Essen war wirklich top, an den Bars wurde man immer sehr zügig bedient, es war von allem immer genug da. Kinderbetreuung wurde nicht genutzt, da englischsprachig. Die beiden Sportplätze hätten eine Erneuerung verdient. Strand relativ klein, aber völlig ok! Unser Zimmer (Familienbungalow mit Meerblick) war geräumig und gut.

The Grecotel Marine Palace is a great place for a family holiday. It has great facilities for the children including a great aquapark. The resort is spread across a wide area The pools are great and well spread acorss to cater for all accomodations. The main restaurant served excellent food with a good variety and variation everyday day. There are three ala carte restaurant which we did not try as it was fully booked up for the days that we stayed.The resort is located about 1 hour drive from the two airports and gave us the option to explore the island in either direction. Most of all, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Overall, an excellent holiday and I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.

Stort, snyggt hotell med flera pooler & matställen. Hade inte bott här utan barn. Mindre bra var att äventyrsbadets pool inte var uppvärmd & var 13 grader, gick inte att vistas där. Servicen var undermålig, incheckningen tog flera timmar, stor förvirring i personalen kring var badhanddukar fanns. Kallt på rummen i april när kvällstempen var kring 9 grader. Fanns mkt mat att välja på men ingen variation från dag till dag så tröttnade snabbt. Hårda sängar. Dåligt nätverk. Trevlig personal overall.

Good but not great. Nice enough for families, great options for pools. Our kids loved the waterpark and hitting the football pitch each night with other kids from around the world. Food options are limited and grow tiresome eating at the same restaurant for every single meal except one night in seven meals. Even on the one night that we booked the day we arrived, there was only one option available which was just another buffet. The front desk staff were very welcoming, prompt, and gracious. We found the concierge to be surprisingly unhelpful so we had to find and book adventures on our own, which was odd. Housekeeping did a great job with our room! The pool towel situation where you could only trade them in every couple of days but then they didn’t have enough was disappointing. Highly recommend reserving an evening in Panormo for dinner! A very short walk to the small village.

Very nice hotel. Big and clean rooms. Frendly and helpful stuff. We stayed in the middle of may, so weather wasn’t the best. We didn’t get to use watter park because water there was very cold. But main pools were warm and nice. So kids got to swim abit. Very nice sand beach. Food was good, alot of vegetables and fruits. Very good coctails. Nice kids club. We used international one. Girls who works there are very friendly and knows how to work with kids.

We have had a great time at this hotel. Plenty of great dining options, multiple swimming pools, sea access was great. Perhaps the biggest highlight was the staff, they were lovely and super helpful any time we needed anything. The only slight negative we found was the lack of lactose-free yoghurt, which was surprising given the multitude of options otherwise. It would have been nice to be able to try the yoghurt, but sadly this made it impossible for us.

Lovely hotel for a family holiday. Between the pools, water park and beach our water babies were in heaven; with the inclusively priced cocktails we were too! Delicious and great range of food in the buffet. Do book on arrival if want full choice of alternative dining options. Appreciated being able to get snacks for the kids during the day. Highly rate the beach BBQ. Would have enjoyed some music in the bars in the evening, but beside that couldn’t fault our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Marine Palace, it was easily accessible and we had a 5 month old plus pram in tow, pool selection was great and the food was excellent, lovely choice and highlight was the BBQ by the Sea! Staff were all very helpful and bonus of a WhatsApp number to message if had any problems, the rooms and all outside areas were kept to a very high standard of cleanliness, very impressed. The village of Panormos was only a 7-8 minute walk away, very small but lovely village with bars, restaurants and a few gift shops. Would definitely return!!!

The hotel offered full board, but the quality of the food was very poor. They often served leftovers from previous days repeatedly. There was a so-called “thematic restaurant” that you could book for an additional fee, but it was never available — you had to reserve it 3–4 days in advance. Don’t trust the food pictures on the website or Expedia; they are very misleading. Cleanliness was another major issue. The pool water was extremely dirty — I would strongly advise against using it. Room cleaning was done only once, and we had to constantly remind the staff to change towels or clean properly. The rooms were old and worn out. At least ours looked nothing like the photos. It was not child-friendly at all. We have a 20-month-old baby and a stroller, but they gave us a room on the upper floor without any elevator, and right next to the kitchen’s exhaust hood. This is definitely not a 4- or 5-star hotel.

Servicen var undermålig, incheckningen tog flera timmar, stor förvirring i personalen kring var badhanddukar fanns. Kallt på rummen i april när kvällstempen var kring 9 grader. Fanns mkt mat att välja på men ingen variation från dag till dag så tröttnade snabbt. Hårda sängar. Dåligt nätverk. Trevlig personal overall.

Very nice hotel. Big and clean rooms. Frendly and helpful stuff. We stayed in the middle of may, so weather wasn’t the best. We didn’t get to use watter park because water there was very cold. But main pools were warm and nice. So kids got to swim abit. Very nice sand beach. Food was good, alot of vegetables and fruits. Very good coctails. Nice kids club. We used international one. Girls who works there are very friendly and knows how to work with kids.

Fomos recebidos pelo que aparentava ser a manager que não foi das mais simpáticas. Pouco flexível no que toca a reserva - reservamos por 7 noites e devido a um imprevisto tivemos de deixar o alijamento 1 dia mais cedo, sem possibilidade de refund. Comparativamente com as fotos o alojamento demonstra alguns sinais de idade. A Ginásio com 4 passadeiras porém só 1 um funciona bem. Pagamos extra por quarto com vista mar, que na verdade tinha uma vista muito parcial do mar - foto abaixo. Buffet bom com bastante variedade, porém não varia muito de dia para dia na ementa. Talvez boa opção para famílias mas muito barulhento se procura descanso. Staff simpático na generalidade. Provavelmente da próxima vez vamos escolher outro local. Localização muito isolada sem grande coisa à volta - se fosse hoje teria escolhido por exemplo a vila de Bali, cerca de 15km Leste.

I can only speak about my room but it was not reflective of the Grecotel reputation. It was in old condition and looked like a room in a much less expensive establishment. The food was mostly mediocre. It is not fine dining at the restaurants at all. It’s just ok. For the money I give this place a 2.5. I would not rebook here because although we had a good time here I feel for the money I can choose better.

Good but not great. Nice enough for families, great options for pools. Our kids loved the waterpark and hitting the football pitch each night with other kids from around the world. Food options are limited and grow tiresome eating at the same restaurant for every single meal except one night in seven meals. Even on the one night that we booked the day we arrived, there was only one option available which was just another buffet. The front desk staff were very welcoming, prompt, and gracious. We found the concierge to be surprisingly unhelpful so we had to find and book adventures on our own, which was odd. Housekeeping did a great job with our room! The pool towel situation where you could only trade them in every couple of days but then they didn’t have enough was disappointing. Highly recommend reserving an evening in Panormo for dinner! A very short walk to the small village.

Great resort for families. The buffet dinner got a bit repetitive and many of the outside tables were under a roof, but no ceiling fans, so it was HOT. The directions to make reservations was confusing and our one reserved dinner at another site was a huge disappointment. I called the front desk to express my concerns. They said someone would call back but they never did.

We have had a great time at this hotel. Plenty of great dining options, multiple swimming pools, sea access was great. Perhaps the biggest highlight was the staff, they were lovely and super helpful any time we needed anything. The only slight negative we found was the lack of lactose-free yoghurt, which was surprising given the multitude of options otherwise. It would have been nice to be able to try the yoghurt, but sadly this made it impossible for us.

Property was large and visually beautiful. Staff was nice overall with the exception of reception who were not helpful and insensitive. Food is only buffet and subpar. You only have 1 reservation available at a non buffet and have to pay for others. Restaurants accessible on property are buffet only. Food is sub par. Wait staff are very nice and professional. You only get limited towels and have to track to main pool each day to switch them out. Beach is crowded and water is cloudy compared to rest of island due to fine sand being kicked up by guests. Hotel is too big for a Greek island and is run like a large Caribbean resort which loses that Greek family feel at other smaller hotels. You’re better off at a smaller hotel and going out for meals. Plus there are many hidden fees from room fee for each night, to transfers, to additional on premise restaurant reservations . It’s just overrated.

Location
Seaside setting with easy beach access and a short walk to Panormos village; a workable base for small car trips and island exploring. Some guests found it isolated, and the beach section can feel small or crowded.

The Grecotel Marine Palace is a great place for a family holiday. It has great facilities for the children including a great aquapark. The resort is spread across a wide area The pools are great and well spread acorss to cater for all accomodations. The main restaurant served excellent food with a good variety and variation everyday day. There are three ala carte restaurant which we did not try as it was fully booked up for the days that we stayed.The resort is located about 1 hour drive from the two airports and gave us the option to explore the island in either direction. Most of all, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Overall, an excellent holiday and I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.

the structure is very beautiful but a little out of everything. and then the swimming pools open until late with children in the water while you're at dinner, a few things to look at. suitable for families with small children, because all of them have low water!

We had a wonderful stay at Marine Palace, it was easily accessible and we had a 5 month old plus pram in tow, pool selection was great and the food was excellent, lovely choice and highlight was the BBQ by the Sea! Staff were all very helpful and bonus of a WhatsApp number to message if had any problems, the rooms and all outside areas were kept to a very high standard of cleanliness, very impressed. The village of Panormos was only a 7-8 minute walk away, very small but lovely village with bars, restaurants and a few gift shops. Would definitely return!!!

Das Buffet und die Themenrestaurants sind vielseitig und bieten für Reisende, die auf glutenfreie Angebote angewiesen sind, viele Möglichkeiten (Pizza, Brot, Muffins, Pancakes, Nudeln, Sushi mit Sojasauce) an. Die Lage ist super, gut für kleiner Ausflüge in der Gegend mit dem Mietwagen gelegen.

Dining
Buffets are widely appreciated for variety and overall quality, with extras like cocktails and a beach BBQ noted. Common downsides include repetitive menus and limited or hard-to-book a la carte options (sometimes extra cost), with a few mentions of noisy dining rooms or warm outdoor seating.

Pouco flexível no que toca a reserva - reservamos por 7 noites e devido a um imprevisto tivemos de deixar o alijamento 1 dia mais cedo, sem possibilidade de refund. Comparativamente com as fotos o alojamento demonstra alguns sinais de idade. A Ginásio com 4 passadeiras porém só 1 um funciona bem. Pagamos extra por quarto com vista mar, que na verdade tinha uma vista muito parcial do mar - foto abaixo. Buffet bom com bastante variedade, porém não varia muito de dia para dia na ementa. Talvez boa opção para famílias mas muito barulhento se procura descanso. Staff simpático na generalidade. Provavelmente da próxima vez vamos escolher outro local.

Lovely hotel for a family holiday. Between the pools, water park and beach our water babies were in heaven; with the inclusively priced cocktails we were too! Delicious and great range of food in the buffet. Do book on arrival if want full choice of alternative dining options. Appreciated being able to get snacks for the kids during the day. Highly rate the beach BBQ. Would have enjoyed some music in the bars in the evening, but beside that couldn’t fault our stay.

Property was large and visually beautiful. Staff was nice overall with the exception of reception who were not helpful and insensitive. Food is only buffet and subpar. You only have 1 reservation available at a non buffet and have to pay for others. Restaurants accessible on property are buffet only. Food is sub par. Wait staff are very nice and professional. You only get limited towels and have to track to main pool each day to switch them out. Beach is crowded and water is cloudy compared to rest of island due to fine sand being kicked up by guests. Hotel is too big for a Greek island and is run like a large Caribbean resort which loses that Greek family feel at other smaller hotels. You’re better off at a smaller hotel and going out for meals. Plus there are many hidden fees from room fee for each night, to transfers, to additional on premise restaurant reservations . It’s just overrated.

The hotel offered full board, but the quality of the food was very poor. They often served leftovers from previous days repeatedly. There was a so-called “thematic restaurant” that you could book for an additional fee, but it was never available — you had to reserve it 3–4 days in advance. Don’t trust the food pictures on the website or Expedia; they are very misleading. Cleanliness was another major issue. The pool water was extremely dirty — I would strongly advise against using it. Room cleaning was done only once, and we had to constantly remind the staff to change towels or clean properly. The rooms were old and worn out. At least ours looked nothing like the photos. It was not child-friendly at all. We have a 20-month-old baby and a stroller, but they gave us a room on the upper floor without any elevator, and right next to the kitchen’s exhaust hood. This is definitely not a 4- or 5-star hotel.

The hotel has good facilities, but unfortunately the overall experience did not justify the price. Our room was not ready on time, and despite paying extra for a sea view bungalow, we were given a second floor room that only had a partial sea view. Management promised on our first day that the room would be changed, but this never materialised. Overall, the facilities are good, but the value for money and service fell well short of expectations.

My kids really enjoyed the pools but I feel that being 4 and 6 were too young for the Aquapark. We booked online a bungalow room but it was in reality a room. The first two days the bedsheets of our king size bed were too small for the mattress size. The dirty glasses and cups in the room were rinsed not changed, so we started to use the paper ones. We had to asked several times for a bathroom mat for the shower. Staff was friendly and food of the restaurants was excellent. On the other hand, the buffets were OK.
