Just returned from 2 weeks at the louis creta princess hotel.

The food was great with a chinese,pizza,bbq,snack bar,so much to choose from we didnt know what to have.Too many flys in the resturant though.

The hotel was very clean ,with sheets changed regulary and the pool area was very clean.

The location of the hotel was not very good as there was nothing within walking distance, except the supermarket across the road and this was much cheaper than the on site shop.

Hotel staff were very helpfull and freindly.

The entertainment was not to bad, the animation team were brilliant during the day with lots of activitys for the whole family,but they was not to good a night with the entertainment, a lot of dressing up and miming shows. But fairplay to them they did try and they proberly done about 16 hours work a day.

We had a good holiday but wouldn't go back.

And I forgot about the photographer. WHAT A RIP OFF.

We went to this hotel when the weather was at it's hottest, they had freak weather and it was in the 40's so was a bit hot to do alot, so we lounged by the pool which was fab as the animation team come round and do various activities which hubby and the kids loved ( me too as it gave me peace for a while!.
The animation team do a disco in the evening too and then they work hard to put on various shows, As the previous review said they did mime tho. But that said they work long hours and put their all in to it.

The kids also used the First Choice kids club and I have to say they work hard Tash and katie. Tash is very lively and gets everyone involved. The adults in our party were even honoury reps for the night, which involved staying on stage for the whole of the mini disco doing all the dances,, Fun but tiring and shows you how hard they work.

Food was good, main resturant got a bit repetative in the secong week but as they have pizza,pasta andchinese in the day it made up for it.

We had a couple of our trips cancelled, one because the weather was too hot and as it was a long walk they had to stop it apparently. The other the Greek night was sold to us when they had no venue for it, which we were not too happy with, but if you walk along the seafront the malame mar does a greek night on a sunday and as long as you go and book by the saturday afternoon you can go and it is half the price of the first choice one.

If you want to go out of the hotel you need to get a bus or taxi as just a shop over the road.

I would like to go back to this hotel and I would hire a car to venture out further.

Having just returned from this hotel I would like to add a few notes.

This hotel is a family hotel, so please do not moan about the children, if you don't like children or would like a quiet hotel this is not for you.

The accommodation is exactly what is says in the brochure 'basic' but tidy clean and all what you would need ie frigde, hairdryer and also electric air con.

The food is excellent as much or as little as you like.
Breakfast was english and greek, with also the show cooking of the eggs and pancakes.

The entertainment during the day provided by the hotel was also excellent. Starting at 10.00am with a session of "stretching", and that is how the day progressed with Archery, Football, Water Gym, Mini Golf, Water Polo and most of these sessions were both for adults and children 6 upwards but separately.

This is the first holiday my husband and i have taken where there was a kids club from First Choice and all I can say is that we wont be able to go on holiday again without checking that they have a kids club.

My daughter who is 6 wasn't sure if she wanted to go at first, but after the first session she said that it was great and when was the next. The Kids Reps Tasha and Katie were amazing from morning till night with all the right entertaiment that any child from 4 to 8 could imagine from face painting to choci parties.

So if your looking for a great hotel, good food and good company, look no further and enjoy.

This hotel is just fantastic and has every-thing you need for a fun filled family holiday.

From the moment we got there we knew we were going to be happy little bunnies! The reception staff were lovely and the first choice reps even lovelier - hope your all doing ok, by the way!!

We stayed in a bungalow room with a terrace, which overlooked the pool and had a side sea view (all bungalows have a side sea view from their terrace). Whilst quite small, there is a lovely double bed and we also had a single bed, plus a sofa bed with drawers in the bottom. As there were only the 3 of us, there was adequate space, but

I would think if you were a familly of 4 it may be a bit of a tight squeeze, however it's adequete for what you need (bear in mind though, you are all in the same room)!
The maids come in every day and empty the bins/make the beds and sweep up. The sheets are changed 3 times in the week and towels most days - just leave them in the bath when you want them changing.

The food was fantastic. Breakfast in the restaurant and there is LOADS to choose from. Lunch is usually by the pool (or restaurant if it's raining - and there's not much chance of that)!. You can choose from Pizzas - freshly made (these are to die for)! or chinese or
barbecue etc.,. There's loads of choice and you can also get fries and salads or toasties - you name it - it's all good stuff.

The drinks are self serve by the pool during the day, which is great because it means no long queues, dying of thirst, waiting to get served! You can get lager/water/soft drinks/tea & coffee. If you want some-thing stronger then there is a lovely girl who will serve you and she also provides the ice creams for the kids - you just tell her what you want!

The evening meal is lovely, but if you want to sit out on the terrance I suggest you get there as early as possible - it does get busy and finding a table out-side is almost impossible if you go a little later. It's all self serve in the restaurant and there is loads to choose from. They even do show cooking and a separate childrens section, so there is always some-thing to find for fussy kids!

Entertainment - plenty to do - The hotel has it's own animation team, they come round now and again during the day and ask you if you want to play football or darts or whatever -they are not pushy though and don't try to drag you off your sun bed, so you can get as involved or uninvolved as you like, really.
In the evening you can go into the disco bar which opens at 8.30pm. Again this is mostly self service. The first choice kids club girls (Tasha & Katie) do the mini disco for the 1st half hour and then the animation team do their mini disco until 9.30am. Then there's 1/2 hour of music by the dj and then an act, which usually lasts until approx. 11.30 ish. All in all very good.

However if you fancy it a little queiter go up to the Dionyssus bar (next to the restaurant). This is more for couples wanting a nice quiet drink on their own. In fact if you send the kids to the club (yes - first choice run an evening club), for 3 euros per child you can get 2 hours peace from 9pm-11pm!

The kids club is fantastic - it runs practically every day, 4 times a day and the reps are fantastic. Tasha and Katie work really hard and our daughter loved it, I think she would have stayed there all day if she could!!

The beach is nice - a little small, but lovely views and the kids pirate ship to play on is right there too.
Maleme itself is just a little village, but is lovely. There are some lovely taverna's if you fancy a change from the Hotel and they have kids play facilites too - what more could you ask for?

All in all this place is fabulous - we had a great time and would definatly go back - if you've booked to go here - well done, you'll have a great time - wish we were still there....

Great hotel and pools.

The hotel staff were so nice and helpful.

The animation team made our holiday perfect, we miss the team especially Laura, Samantha and Eddy. They were all so great with the kids and us adults.

We would like to wish the animation team all the best for the future.

This hotel lived upto all our expectations and changed my view on AI. The hotel was very clean and there were plenty of staff keeping the hotel and its grounds in order.

The food was first class and there was a wide variety of choice and plenty of healthy options to choose from plus plenty for the kids too. Anyone that complains about the food are either the type of person that complains about everything or they think they are Gordon Bloody Ramsey.

As has been said before the pizza's are great but you may have to wait a few minutes at peak times but this is no big deal. The self service drinks are an excellent idea as there were never any queues for drinks and the beer was prety good too.

There are a few bars and restaraunts within a 5/10 minute walk from the hotel, we knew when booking that the hotel was a bit isolated but as the hotel is so good there is no real reson to leave other than for a change of senary or to stretch you legs.

The staff were very good and all the reception staff spoke very good English, as with all employees some are better than others but all the ones that I met were very friendly and helpful.

The Animation team do an excellent job organising all the daytime activities and the night time entertainment is prety good too. the first choice kids club was ok but limited to a max number of 30 and this was cancelled a number of times during our stay due to staff illness. The swimming pools are great for the kids.

I would return to this hotel again and if we don't go to Florida next year there is a strong possibility that we will be going back.

Just got back from the Louis Creta Princess and am delighted to say that we had a great holiday there. This was our 6th all inclusive holiday (3rd Louis hotel) and definitely one of the best.

We stayed in one of the bungalows, which were fairly small but fine, cleaned every day and very cool. The beds were firm but not too bad. Room had a fridge, hairdryer, satellite TV (BBC Worldwide is the only English channel though) and plenty of electricity points.

There was plenty of food to choose from, decent breakfast selection, lunch by the pool bar or the pizza / pasta / salad bar or even the Chinese! Good choice at dinner, always a carvery and if you didn

We have just returned from the Louis Creta, what a lovely hotel it was.

Very clean and all the staff are very friendly too.
We have stayed in many all inclusive hotels around the world and this hotel ranks among the best of them.
Due to our family of 6 they were able to cater for us with an inter-joining room.

If I had only one gripe it would be there are signs up saying no reserving sun beds, which is obviously ignored! I couldn't believe we found ourselves getting up at 7am and having to reserve them, so if you like prime pool side location get up early.

IMPORTANT - When sitting around the pool in extreme heat please make sure you wear some kind of swimming shoes, we saw so many people with some serious burns to their feet, even though the flooring is white it can get very hot.

The food is fantastic in the day time, my 4 children never went hungry - munching on Pizza / Chinese / Chips / BBQ and much more.

The food in the evening is a bit samey towards the end of the week but still very nice.
I did hear one person moaning about the food, saying it had made him ill, then saw him sat in the direct sun for 10 hours drinking beer.

The evening entertainment was OK with a different theme ever night.
I must say I would visit again and I know my 4 children were very upset to be coming home.
