Mythos Palace Resort & Spa

Visited for five nights in end of May. We upgraded and stayed in the newly built panorama hotel behind. This had a larger balcony and gave us an upgraded wristband which allowed us meals at lunchtime in the Italian restaurant. The room was spacious and clean but needed parts finishing. The balcony had not been finished well and the toilet had a gap where it hadn’t been tiled properly. The food in the restaurants was okay but the buffet although well stocked wasn’t five star quality. A huge positive for us was because the hotel was quiet we seemed to have a pool, bar and restaurant to ourselves for the first few days. This was great and really enjoyed the food and service. Drinks were okay but again not the greatest. All known cocktails seemed to be extra and the free ones made up and a bit weird. Although we went all inclusive and obviously got our moneys worth we did walk to a couple of local restaurants which were far more authentic and worth a visit.

This is a fantastic hotel with extremely friendly and welcoming staff who made us feel at home from the very first moment. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and tasty dishes every day. But the absolute highlight was the beach — one of the most stunning sandy beaches we’ve seen in all of Crete, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sun

Reviewed today We've just returned from a stay at this hillside hotel and overall, it provided a wonderfully relaxing escape. The location is one of its biggest highlights – tucked away in a tranquil area with scenic coastal paths and a few charming tavernas within walking distance. It's an ideal setting if you're looking to unwind and enjoy nature. Comfortable and Welcoming The hotel is thoughtfully designed into the hillside, giving it an elevated charm (literally!). While it’s a bit of a climb in places, the staff are more than happy to shuttle guests around in buggies, making it accessible for everyone. The team here are polite, attentive, and always ready to assist. Our room was clean, modern, and offered a panoramic sea view that truly made the stay special – definitely worth booking a superior sea view if available. A Thoughtful Touch During our stay, it happened to be my husband's birthday – and to our delight, we returned to our room to find a beautifully presented birthday cake waiting for us. We hadn’t mentioned the occasion to anyone at the hotel, so it was such a lovely and unexpected gesture that really made our day. A true example of the attentive service here. Dining Experience Meals are served buffet-style, and there’s a good selection available. While it leans toward the typical offerings of a 4-star resort, there’s usually something for everyone. We appreciated the variety and the effort to cater to different tastes, even if a live cooking station would have been a welcome addition. Drinks & Atmosphere The all-inclusive package covers the essentials, but premium drinks and crafted cocktails come at an extra charge. It’s a good option for those who enjoy finer drinks now and then, and the beach bar in particular offers a lovely spot to relax with something cold in hand. Beach & Leisure Across the road from the hotel is a beach area – more rugged than sandy, but perfectly usable with appropriate footwear. It’s not exclusive to adults, though it’s generally quiet and peaceful. We found it a pleasant place to sunbathe and listen to the waves. Evening Entertainment There’s a variety of entertainment on offer, from live music to movie nights under the stars. It’s not flashy, but it adds a nice touch to the evenings. A violinist performance added a bit of character to our nights at the resort. Final Thoughts This hotel offers a peaceful setting, stunning views, and warm hospitality. We enjoyed our stay and especially appreciated the thoughtful birthday surprise – a small touch that made a big impact.

If you travel with small kids be aware that hotel parties are very loud and last till about 11 PM everyday. Try to book a room not close to the night scene. Apart from that it's a great place, fab service, delicious food, direct access to the sea and pools.

Really not a 5* resort…. Price VS service is ridicules. Faaaar from Luxury! The food was good but boarding after a few days. All inclusive basis, but mini bar was never uploaded in between our stay. The room was cleaned once in a while, not every day. Some days just on half. The caffe and creamers never refilled, dirty phone, missing parts of flush button on toilet, lime scale on shower, the mirror in bathroom rusty…. Public toilet by the pool not updated and had a urine smell. We were few times before in sisterhood hotel Anemos Grand Lux. and there is no comparison in between- although both are 5* stars resort. In my opinion Mythos deserves no more than 3*. The shining stars in this hotel are the stuff. They really try their best!
