It's not what we expected.The pictures on their website are misguiding... It's not worth the money and it was not like the other 4+ hotels me and my husband have stayed in. They have some renovations still going on, we were not informed about it. By the time we arrived, the elevators were still under construction which caused us extra... More

As Grecotel Privilege Club Card Holders we returned to our very first Grecotel, the El Greco after eleven years. The hotel will be a very chic 5* resort once the renovations are finished. The views and ambience are wonderful. Staff are superb and very friendly. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served in correct glasses and at correct temperatures, along... More

Very modern reception, lots of white stone and glass panels, leading you eyes directly to the pool through to the sea view. First evening watching the sunset was perfect and we never tired of the view. Lots of free Internet sites around the hotel, balcony... More

Guests revisiting El Greco will be pleasantly surprised by the improvements made since 2012 . The central block of the hotel has been revitalised with better facilities and space provided for guests . The hotel reopened in mid May 2013 with some work still outstanding (eg the lifts ) but the previous very warm welcome to guests continues. The hotel... More

The food was excellent with so much choice, it is difficult to see how it could not please. Show- cooking, plenty of traditional and international dishes were on offer. Breakfast... More
