Trying to book Hotel in Heronissos Crete next Summer

Do some hotels hold back availability for next Summer

Found a hotel, Grand in Heronissos http://www.grandhotel.gr/en/index.html

No matter what dates I put in nothing comes up. 2 Adults & one child.

Tried May June & July nothing.

Also tried all the usual sites including the hotels own site. I've emailed them but nothing back


TIA

    Use one of the low cost phone services that will let you call them for a few pence.

    In that case there are a load of naughty sites out there.


    When you put into Google loads come back saying book with us including TripAdvisor!

    Nothing to stop it from showing in a google search, but have they got it available when you go through to book? As you said, you've tried all the usual sites and nothing.

    It's not unusual for hotels in Crete to not take direct bookings if they're closed for winter, which they many be now, I've come across the same problem before myself.
