Corissia Princess Hotel

We looked at the Corissia Princess via two tour companies, but decided to book direct. Firstly, it was cheaper to do so and they also offered to collect us personally from the airport which was a massive plus. Ryanair was of course an hour late in arriving, but our driver was waiting for us with a very clear sign, a smile on his face and a cold bottle of water and a chocolate bar for us both! We had booked half board and arrived at gone 22.00 so too late for an evening meal, but a small picnic in a bag had been left for us at reception. We were upgraded as well, which was nice, and in the room was a bottle of wine and a box of Greek Delight sweets. Sorted! Buffet breakfast was just perfect, with a nice layout and plenty of variety, and the same with the evening meal. The later meal was laid out the same, with starters, salads and mains in different areas, but the hot meals varied each night, which was appreciated, and extremely well cooked! We had to walk about 150m up the beach to the restaurant, but that was no problem. To walk by the side of those beautiful calm waters every day was a privilege. For those with walking difficulties, they were driven up to the restaurant by the staff in a golf cart. The rooms were spotless and cleaned each day, cleaners were always present and the beach is literally across the road, with the sea less than 10m from the road. If you are after a place to relax and soak up the sun, this is it. The hotel is part of a chain within Georgiopoulos, but you can use the facilities in the other hotels such as the pools etc, but the gym is extra. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and nothing was an issue to them. If they could help out, they would, and we wholeheartedly recommend them as holiday location. There were far more Germans in the hotel and indeed the resort than there were English people, so the majority of the signs about hotel information and trips etc were in German, but it was no problem asking the questions in English as the staff were eager to help.

Lovely, clean room with big balcony. Very friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful views from the rooftop bar, good selection of drinks. Right on the beach with plenty of Sun loungers, beach towels provided and can change often. Close to the town.

In August 2023 we stayed for 9 nights in the Corissia Princess. We had booked a double room superior with sea view. We got room 402 on the fourth floor, the room was newly renovated. Unfortunately, the room is quite small and the sea view was only partially possible. It is hardly possible to sleep with an open window, as the noise level from the street, cars, partygoers, buses, motorbikes continuous till 4 o’clock in the early morning. The meals were offered as buffet style at the restaurant of the Corissia Beach hotel, shared among the other Corissia hotels. This an approximate 200 m walk one direction from the Princess. We liked the walk; the hotel also offers a shuttle by golf cart. Breakfast had a rich selection, including cereals, fruits, cakes etc. The food at dinner was good, we liked the selection of fish. There was sufficient variety in choice. On 3 days there was also a ‘signature dish’, a set plate with meat / fish, vegetables and carb on offer, which we liked, as it offered a change to the buffet. We took one dinner at the Ophelia signature restaurant, which consisted of a 5 course a la carte menu, which was outstanding. On the hind side we should have opted for the Harmony Princess and its restaurant, as we are not so much the buffet goers. The view from the panorama lounge of the Princess is superior, unfortunately the drinks are more expensive compared to town. The hotel mentions environmental awareness and climate protection attempts, unfortunately we recognised a lot of plastic packing (coffee milk, plastic coasters for the sweets, water bottles etc.). During our excursions cross the island, we unfortunately saw various professional waste dump sites, which indicate that waste management is less advanced, thus we would appreciate the general reduction in waste. If returning to Georgioupolis, we would rather stay at the Harmony, or the newly planned Harmony 2024 sea view.

Exceptional Hotel Experience at Corissia Princess Hotel My stay at Corissia Princess Hotel was simply outstanding. From a warm welcome to comfortable rooms and excellent service, everything was flawless. The cleanliness and comfort of the room were impressive. The culinary offerings were diverse and delicious. The entire staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

This is going to be a memorable vacation for us. We had a lot of fun on some more active days doing a few excursions, aqua gym, table tennis (thank you for the sports to Amber!) and on lazy days just lying around on a beautiful beach or somewhere in Corrisia Park. The room was clean and updated so that's all that we wanted. The food was good enough, although we also went to eat out occasionally.

I booked to stay for a week in Corrisia Beach hotel and was satisfied with what we got out of it. Clean rooms, nice cleaning staff members, ok food and some fun sports activities with Amber if you spend your time in Corrisia Park where all the fun stuff is happening. The hotel is also very well located between Chania and Rethymo.

Corissia Princess is located in a very convenient and beautiful place. Our family room was clean and I would say well renovated. The restaurant had a breathtaking view to the sea and there were some sports activities offered such as aqua gym, stretching and similar. Thank you to Amber for entertaining us during our stay.

Staying at the Corissia Princess has become an annual highlight for my daughter and me. The hotel is clean, the staff exceptionally helpful and friendly and everything essential for a holiday on the beach is there. The beds are comfy, the Wifi good. A fresh bottle of water is provided every day, and you can make your own instant coffee or tea. The bathroom fixtures are state-of-the-art. The digital control pad for “don’t disturb/fix my room” was out of order, but the resourceful cleaning lady gave us an old-fashioned card to hang on the door, so that minor glitch was quickly solved. I was particularly happy with the option to use a ceiling fan instead of air conditioning. It was just perfect for us, and we could keep the balcony door open, with just the insect screen closed, and listen to the lapping of the waves on the beach. The beach is literally a few steps from the hotel. The hotel is located in a cove protected from strong Cretan north “meltemi” winds, and the soft sand makes it easy to get in and out of the water. It is shallow for quite a distance, so it is safe. The water is refreshed by little streams running into the sea from the White Mountains, and is clear and refreshing, even in the summer heat. The beach beds are comfortable and sturdy, and the boys at the beach bar provide great service. The breakfast and dinner buffets have everything that one could imagine. We also went to their signature gourmet restaurant “Ophelia” and were impressed. Everything was delicious, especially the beef with mushrooms, which was the daily special. Try some of the local bottled wines with your dinner! We also tried out the spa facilities. Georgia guided us and made us feel special and relaxed. Stratos gave us a wonderful massage. Anna fixed my nails and made my feet pretty, while my daughter enjoyed the jacuzzi. Reliable sources tell me that the hotel treats the staff well, and that’s the reason they have plenty of employees, who work as a good team. We will definitely come back again!
