GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts is immensely proud of its home island of Crete. We nurture a deep respect for both its environment and its potential to prosper economically, and recognise how this may positively impact its society at large.
As the owner and operator of four hotels in Crete, we identify the critical role we must play in safeguarding the island, and are uncompromisingly committed to embracing this challenge. Moving into our fourth decade of operation, we are intensely focused on adopting exclusively sustainable environmental and social practices, as well as ensuring local sourcing. By undertaking conservation now, we are gifting the future of our island, and our guests, with choice: the chance for invigorating, life-changing and mindful holiday experiences. And that’s something that we believe is worth celebrating.
OUR PEOPLE ARE THE HEART OF OUR CULTURE, AND OUR CULTURE IS THE HEART OF OUR OFFERINGS
With four properties within our embrace, GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts is heedful of the power we possess to positively contribute to Crete’s employment landscape, and beyond.
Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries worldwide, and we accept the challenge that this growth trajectory presents to us as a business active within this sphere. We believe in access to opportunities, support and life-long learning, in nurturing the creation of esteemed professionals passionate about their role within the wider company, and are focused on diversifying our workforce based on equal opportunities for all. At present, over 250 associates are actively employed at our properties.
INTEGRITY, TRANSPARENCY AND RESPONSIBILITY: OUR PROMISE TO YOU
GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts’ growth is built upon a foundation respectful of the three core pillars of our business: our people, our society and our environment.
Our mission is to honour this foundation and continue to enrich it. To achieve this, the decisions we make daily are supported by a series of standards, which explicitly express our duties – our promise – towards our shareholders, guests, employees, business associates, and local community. Our standards demand integrity, transparency and responsibility: the uniting forces of our business, and our promise to you.
MOULDING INDIVIDUAL ASPIRATIONS INTO A COMMUNITY OF AMBITION
Regardless of changing economic tides, our values endure as benchmarks of excellence: the supreme standards to which we hold ourselves.
We know that integrity and open communication give rise to enhanced knowledge, and – for us – knowledge is power. It allows us to deliver inherent value to our guests – in terms of their experience and the heartfelt service we extend – and also allows our business to grow as a living entity, learning, innovating and achieving. These core values succeed in moulding the aspirations of our individual stakeholders into a united community of ambition, safeguarding our future.
