However, the hotel is located on a hill so there are many stairs to get to the restaurant, pool, or beach which may not be suitable for those with young children. Overall, the resort is in a great location close to the village of Panormos and boasts a beautiful view.

Pool

The Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park boasts some fantastic swimming pools, including an outdoor pool, a heated pool and children's pools.
