This was our First trip to Crete, this resort was on the quite side, so if you looking to unwind and relax , this is the place. The meals were pretty good and the desserts amazing. The staff were pretty friendly although I find the bar staff at the pool could be a bit more friendlier.

Great hotel!
We very much enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Very nice hotel. Beautiful comfortable rooms with an excellent service. Make sure to make reservation the sea view.

8/10 Very good

great location for driving to western beaches.
This is a medium size hotel on a rocky strip of beach in a small beach town. Nice atmosphere but if crowded there is not much space between rooms, chairs on the patio or beach. Pools spaced throughout property is a nice touch. Best part was the location- good driving distance to many great western beaches. Food is okay. Servers working hard during trying times. Several restaurants nearby but not all opened back up after Covid. 3.5 stars. 4 for location.

You couldnt fault the staff, they were so friendly and helpful. We were aware until 4 days prior to departure that the hotel was closing. It was very quite, rooms pleasant but dated. We enjoyed our stay overall but it didnt meet expectations of a 4 star hotel

Godt men ikke prangene
Hotellet ligger lidt langt ude fra Platanias, men helt perfekt hvis man gerne vil have fred og ro. Der kører busser hvert 20'ende minut ind til byen og det koster kun 1,80 Euro pr person. Hotellet er lidt slidt. Pools'ene er desværre iskolde. Morgenmaden er ok - men bestemt heller ikke mere end det. Synes ikke det er et 4 stjernet hotel, men nok nærmere et 3+

Hotel direkt am Strand
Wir hatten eine Juniorsuite mit Frühstück. Das Buffet war sehr reichhaltig und für jeden was dabei und man konnte bis 10:30 Uhr frühstücken, was uns sehr entgegen kam. Allerdings waren da manche Angebote wie Waffeln oder Pancakes hart, weil sie so lange warm gehalten und nicht frisch zubereitet wurden. Sonst war das Hotel eher auf all inclusive-Kunden ausgerichtet. Unsere Juniorsuite war sehr groß mit Sofa-Sitzecke und Tisch und Stühle. Auch war ausreichend Stauraum in Schrank und Kommode vorhanden. Die Betten waren groß und bequem. Die Dusche ist in der Badewanne, für ältere Personen könnte da der Ein-und Ausstieg problematisch sein. Wir hatten zwei Reklamationen (kaputter Balkonstuhl und laute Geräusche im Sicherungskasten), die ohne Probleme behoben wurden. Es gibt kostenlose einfache Liegen und Sonnenschirme am Pool oberhalb des Strandes, die aber oft schon morgens mit Handtüchern reserviert wurden. Am Strand waren genug bequeme gepolsterte Liegen und Sonnenschirme, das kostete dann pro Liege 2,50 €.

Adults Only hotel right on the beach.
We had a ten night stay which was extremely relaxing and quiet. The hotel was excellently placed with a 20 second walk to the beach. The staff were very polite, helpful and efficient. Some of the rooms were allocated lie out beds next to a pool otherwise it was first come first served. The lie outs on the beach were rented out at 2.50 euros per day. We left feeling calm and relaxed with a healthy tan thrown in.

Best hotel / beach access in the area
This hotel is a lovely place to spend time and has bus pick ups outside which the local tour operators come to directly so you can survive without a car. Everyone was friendly and the week passed by seemingly too quickly.

Awful hotel and management
Awful hotel and management. I have sent the hotel management 2 emails about the issues we encountered during our stay and they do not even bother to reply. Our main issue was we booked and paid in advance for a Beachfront Junior Suite with Sharing Pool but were given a small dark room at the back of the hotel. We were told that there were already guests in the Beachfront room we had booked and that we had to take the other room. The hotel staff were quite rude about it even though they admitted that it was the hotel's fault (although the reason for the mistake kept changing so we were not being told the truth). After I called Hotels.com for help the hotel "found" another available room for us which was bigger but still located at the back of the hotel and it also had no sea view. The hotel manager told us several times that we would receive a refund for the room mistake which was clearly a lie as the hotel has not given us any refund to this date and they do not answer my emails. This hotel has the worst customer service that I have encountered in many years.

Unser bestes Hotel
Das beste Hotel unserer 14-tägigen Kretarundreise. Super Zimmer, hervorragendes Essen, nettes Personal. Hier kann man sich wohlfühlen. Das einzig negative war ein nicht vorhandes "Do not disturb"-Schild und ein fehlender Stift beim Bewertungsbogen ;-) Ansonsten wirklich alles super!!! Würden wir sofort wieder buchen!
