Grand Hotel HolidayResort

Out second visit to the Grand Hotel our first being 7 years ago and then again sept 2025 We received such a warm welcome at reception even though our flight had been delayed and it was very late. We were also given a bottle of water each and a bag with a sandwich and snack seeing as everything was closed. The place is very clean in all areas. It was lovely to go to the dining hall and see some staff were still there from a previous visit. Again such a welcome as if you are a friend they haven't seen in while. Every meal time there is plenty to choose from, always quickly replenished and always something being cooked to order at the chef station. We dont have kids with us but we have walked past the kids club which is bright and fun looking. They even have a small pool for the babies/toddlers which has a snack bar serving great food if you want a change of dining at lunch or snacks through the day. The main pool is often busy with entertainment again the kids looked like they were enjoying the entertainer as were some of the adults. The adult pool was peaceful and when we were there we never had any problems with children trying to use it. But with 3 other pools they wouldn't have the need. Plenty of loungers available throughout the day. Water slide pool is always worth a visit and they have a good system of tracking who's in. Good safety in place with age and sunglasses, hats etc also another snack bar with smaller selection available. We enjoyed some of the music in the evening at the bar and at the amphitheatre there is something different on most nights throughout the week. Location for us is perfect, we enjoy the walk into hersonisis although there is a bus stop right outside. We also enjoy the walk into Stalis but again the hotel provides a bus service for this. The rooms are clean and comfortable but probably a bit dated. If at a push we had acomplaint it would be that there is only one plug point and it's used for the fridge. In order to charge any electrical devices we have to take turns and unplug the fridge. I understand that is something that has changed over time that we are more reliant on needing power points that they just don't have. We like the walk up to the rooms although all those years ago we were right at the top and always walked it. This time we were very grateful to be about half way up and it wasn't such a walk. However again there is call buttons to get your ride to your room area. We didn't use the spa although the girls did come around the pool area offering demonstrations and they seemed very welcoming. I would absolutely recommend the Grand Hotel. We are returning again in September now for the 3rd time and I hope to see some familiar faces.
