Hotels on first line in Kato Daratso

The food was delicious for any meal and snacks were great by the pool too for All inclusive. We have some food allergies in the family and they were accommodating and helpful to be sure we had all we needed

While the inclusions of play parks, multiple pools, baby beds and a daycare are nice considerations they do not overcome the multiple shortcomings we have noticed in our first few hours here

Time will tell if we get bored of the salad bar within our week long stay. The sea view from the main restaurant is very nice and quite peaceful

Last but not least, while the resort offers many activities, one of them is a mini-disco currently keeping my eldest up as it is quite loud and easily heard from our room. Overall, we expected more for 3000 euros a week

The glass showers do not fully close or the stairs are to work to be efficient leading to spilling and wet floors; also the drain cover is loose and flow is slow resulting in a piece of plastic floating around

The buffet was well furnished with various options of meats, fish, salads, sides and desserts. Although there are vegetarian options, they are clearly less varied and refined

The Spa was beautiful- I enjoyed their amazing cool pool and jacuzzi all to myself. What let this place down was the very poor quality of food we ordered with room service

The bottle of wine offered in the room, and the complimentary welcome cocktail drinks.

I am very satisfied with the service. Ctrip's customer service is also very professional. Thank you very much.

The resort grounds are very beautiful! The beach area is nicely kept, from there you can see breathtaking sunrises & sunsets

Our room had a nice view to the main swimming pool, with the sea in the background. We received a complimentary wine bottle at checkin. There was always nice live music playing somewhere every evening

There are plenty of beach chairs available, and you can have a fresh beach towel every day, if you wish. You can get served with food/beverages the entire time the beach area is "open"

Great place for a family vacation. Lots of pools. Good food. All animation is in English.

We came as a family of 4 with a 4 year old and 3 month old. The hotel is decent for a family break. Pools and slides very good for the kids and for an all inclusive the food wasn’t too bad although repetitive

Went on business but turned out to be a memorable fuse of business and vacation for a good one week

As other reviews state, snack bar serving pizza/gyros/burgers which is decent. Drinks mainly all self serve, typical for an all inclusive, local brands but ok

Got to the room, and the bathroom was left in a disgusting state by whoever was before us, toilet and shower etc… dirty towels all over the bathroom still. No one had even changed towels in between family’s

Receptionist eventually sent a cleaner to sort it out but we obviously had to wait for this so wasted probably an hour and half in total messing about just to have a quick shower before transfer

We got the room at the lowest ground which was a bit dark but travelling with a toddler was very handy as we weren’t woken up at the sunrise 😅 and the bushes around the balcony (we complained about them at first) turned out to be very handy at evenings when we sat there during heavy wind

We still could enjoy the quiet evening there without freezing. Rooms are fully equipped with toaster, coffee maker fridge freezer and table for 4 ppl. Room was cleaned every day with fresh towels

Starting from reception, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We were offered to leave baggage’s at the reception and stuff will take them to the room

Very happy my first holiday in years. I took a long time scanning the Internet for a destination and I chose this 👌 I must say I was happy. Jet2 were fantastic and I will use them again also

We spent some holidays in a past years in a hotels better and worst and we had some sort of level of everything that we didn’t want go lower

The main point - food was absolutely amazing! There was nothing we didn’t like and we are picky eaters. Loads of choices from meat, fish, veggie, and seasoned perfectly. The local corner was our favourite

We stayed there for our honeymoon for 7 days, and it was INCREDIBLE! Beautiful resort with everything you need, friendly staff, delicious delicious food! We booked the Executive Suite, it is two stories with a hot tub and a big balcony overlooking the pool and sea

We spent four days in the hotel at the end of the season. Accomodations ware great, food is good and the stuff gave us a home like fealing. We rented the big room with jacuzzi and it was great

The hotel exceeded our expectations. Very nice staff. A great pool area and bar, directly at the beach. Surrounded by nice Restaurants nearby, a little bit further up the hill.

Ive never been in a place that took care of me and my Bf like this ! The staff is amazing every single one of them ! the reseption , in the bar\pool , kitchen. everyone ! they helped us with every little thing

Beautiful resort with board (breakfast and dinner). The first front desk employee was great and very helpful. Our room (junior suite) was spacious

The front desk employee in the morning of our departure was not helpful, but she didn't mar the overall experience

In 5 minutes bakery with ice cream and coffee, beach, shops, bars, bus station to Chania There is also amazing bar in the hotel and relax zone. Highly recommend to stay in this place

We have been in Oscar Suites for a week. The location is super nice and the apartments are also very good. It's nice they have two pools and a fitness. The employees are very very nice and helpful

The hotel located in the very nice area, the beach is just across the street and there are a lot of great restaurants around

The rooms maybe a but outdated but that is in no way an issue when you consider free parking, free air conditioning, decent breakfast and a wonderful service. Definitely choose these folks

The owner is very kind and gave us a helpful advice regarding the area and places to see during our day. I would recommend this place to anyone, looking for peaceful vacation in Greece

Very child friendly and caring. They give you personal service and remember your issues and requests

Very nice hotel! Breakfest is very delicous served almost at the beach, there is drink bar with amazing drinks, swimming pool is clean and pretty

Amazing food, clean rooms, cozy pool and friendly staff..everything you want for your vacation you will find it here. Definitely have a cocktail during sunset and relax staring at the sea..We will be coming back!!

Excellent hotel with delicious breakfast and very friendly staff (especially the younger receptionist). Tables to have breakfast lunch dinner basically on the beach. Comfortable and very clean rooms

Very nice place! Exelent food! and cleen rooms everyday! You have everything in walking distance!the beach! Supermarket! Only 4 minutes away when your walking😁

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Excellent amenities and perfect location in front of the sea. I’d 100% repeat it!

The view from the room is brilliant and the beach is super close to the hotel. I am very happy with the stay

Good overall experience. Clean rooms and decent beds. Great service and friendly staff. Proximity to beach from the pool is extremely convenient.

A really nice and clean hotel, right near the beach and the shopping street. Everything you need near the hotel. Super nice staff.

Regular cleaning and functioning AC. What makes me lower my rating was the bitter attitude from the staff and the route you had to take to get to the restaurant/beach

Good view, great cleaning and service. And a faboulus Eleonora at the reception desk. She can fix anything. She is the best 🤩👍🇬🇷

It was basically a back alley with cars and huge piles of trash

Hi everyone, we been to the Marika hotel in Platanias few days ago whit my wife and some friends, it's lovely hotel friendly staff and I highly recommends for all who have plans to go on Crete for holiday, from me and my wife 5 stars, nice clean rooms , pools are perfect for the adults and for the children, good service and friendly staff at the pizzeria and down to the restaurant near the beach, we...

The best part of the hotel was it's view. We took a sea view room and it was perfect. The rooms were clean and the hotel staff was courteous. The breakfast at the restaurant waves had good variety even for vegetarians

The sea view with breakfast made it even more memorable. The Italian restaurant at the hotel is amazing too. I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for a good stay for a reasonable price

I loved everything about the place. Free parking Location Pool Breakfast restaurant View on the bay with an island Clean rooms Friendly staff And many more!

I think it would have been a good idea to include air condition and perhaps also towels for use by the pool, especially during high season. But we knew this was an extra cost before we arrived, so it wasn't an issue

Nice rooms, super clean, modern, friendly staff, good food, good beach. We had to change hotel from our first, as the standard was so bad, more a getto. Big thanks hotel Marika for helping us

Sunbeds are also not available at the pool on most mornings despite the pool not opening until 9am the sunbeds are all occupied well before that time

Nice area, clean, wonderful Beach for small children too. Great breakfast in the restaurant. Wonderful view to the sea.

Nice hotel in Platanias, very close to the beach. The restaurant is next to the beach, you can also overlook the Playground for the kids. There is a great "greek night" with dinner and show once a week

Nice Hotel just on the beach. Just perfect because it is not too much nor too less. Recommended absolutely.

If you have to sit at the hotel beach you must pay 5€ for the beds, this is unacceptable for hotel guests to have to pay this fee

Cons: The beds are a bit to hard for me, as I could feel the springs into my skinny back

Everything was great about our stay at Blue Dome. The rooms were very spacious, large balconies, the view was amazing, and the hotel itself is cleverly designed so you have a view of the sea from every room

Nice hotel, excellent placed by the sea. Only missed aircon in the gym, otherwise everything was perfectly fittet for a couples vacation, or a family trip with older children as well

It was updated, clean, with good working AC(not that easy to find in Europe). The pool is clean and well kept. My complaint about it is the depth. Its quite deep to stand and lounge if you are shorter than 5

My complaints about this hotel are mainly due to the staff and bar/restaurant amenities. Everything at the hotel, including the pool, bar, restaurant, lobby, everything, is completely shut down by 9pm

The location of this hotel was a 5/5. The view is gorgeous and steps from the beach. We stayed in a renovated room and had no complaints about the room at all

Perfect location at the beach with super nice pool! We stayed at Blue Dome for 14 days. Had the pleasure of staying in one of the newly renovated rooms. The design of the apartment was beautiful and tasteful

Antonis was an excellent host! Rooms were very clean and tidy, location was perfect for people that like to be next to the sea front and have access to a beautiful beach. Totally recommend the stay there!

We stayed at Iolkos apartments for two weeks in August 2024. The hotel is within a stone throw from the beach, convenient to walk there in the morning or get home for a siesta during the hottest hours

The flat is in perfect condition, well equipped and very well maintained during the stay. Very pleasant balcony with sea view. The air conditioning was perfect, which was much appreciated in very hot weather

Quiet, soundproof flat in the middle of a very quiet residential area. The sea is a 5-minute walk away with a very pleasant beach

And if you're really lucky, like us, you can have a room with a view at the sea. The studios were well-equipped and the cleaning service - excellent

The owner was very helpful in recommending an excellent restaurant right on the beach, and was always available to help us

Excellent food in the restaurant, a lot of dietary dishes for children, a variety of the diet were changed every day. Two nice pools with sea views. All the amenities in a walking distance. Will definitely go here again!

Perfect place for a family holiday, the hotel on the first line, 20 meters from the beautiful sea, the magnificent sandy beach

Hotel apt was clean and comfortable and staff is alwas nice and ready to help. Be aware the beach is not for children , it is really deep right after you step in the water

The beach is the gravel type!!! We had to travel 8 km towards Chania everyday where is sandy beach and calm water!!!

We had a nice spacey room with sea view. We stayed there for one night, which was quite expensive, but for a family with kids this is definitely a place to visit. Very good bathroom and shower and good quality beds.

Beach is as close to the hotel it can be and is quite rocky the first 2-3 meters in the water. It gets deep very fast so be careful if you children

The rooms are light and clean, you have everything you need for good rest: private bathroom, cosy beds, small kitchen and air conditioning and of course sea air, stunning views from the balcony and quietness for excellent sleep

Besides there is also a night bus. There are plenty of tavernas and restaurants around the hotel with traditional Greek and Cretan food. And of course it is only 2 minutes to the awesome beaches of mideterranian sea

Excellent service, cheap and clean rooms, polite and helpful receptionist, presentation on map where to go and what to do. Located 100m from beach, restaurants, bars, supermarkets near by

The hotel is located near to the beach and surrounded by many restaurants. There are two retail shops nearby the hotel. There are plenty of parking spaces around hotel

Nice tourist hotel outside Chania. 2 blocks from beach, 2 blocks from shopping, and a spa. Surrounded by good restaurants. Rooms clean & air conditioned

Loved this hotel! Such a great deal for a little suite with a kitchen, tv, air con, etc... Very clean and so close to the beach! Very helpful staff!

We didn't use it as we always prefer the beach, that's a personal choice. We were treated very well by the staff and it was nice and quiet. We were satisfied with the price and what we got for it aswell

5 minutes from the beach. 6 minute bus ride or a 40 minute Wallin along the beach to get to Chania Old Town - location was great for us.

In summary, we had a taste of Greek hospitality where the communication is like talking to distant family members. The location is 10 mins away from Chania with a car, 15 with a bus and 35 by walking

The beaches nearby were probably the best we saw near Chania and there are several good taverns. The pool was big enough and there's plenty of sunbeds around. The garden is massive and very well maintained

U could take the bus to get everywhere, bit to Chania City we always took a Taxi, it’s about 10 mins drive and costs only 10€! We really loved the Pool area and we highly recommend the Pizza at the Poolbar! It was better than the ones u get in the pizza places :D (-) We would’ve liked some Pingpong/Pool Table at the Pool area !

Surrounded by olives, bougainvillea and other lovely Cretean trees and plants. Located just a 5 minutes walk to the sea and adjacent to the the best restaurant in Chania, the Sterna

The great staff is very service minded, and great rooms with an amazing atmosphere. The place is located just a few meters from the beach whereas the hotel have their own place with different options for beach beds

Cute aparthotel on the beach, simple furnished rooms but very comfortable and clean. Amazing staff and great prices for the drinks. I felt very welcomed and relaxed there, will definitely return!

We had excellent time. Very big and comfortable room for 5 pax. Beach is a dream

Everything was perfect, very kind service from the reception desk, very close to the beach, clean room and bath.

The best staff possible. Everyone was above and beyond hospitable and nice. You can't get better service than here!

I highly recommend you to stay at this place

Great value, just to add the air conditioning is extra €8 per day but much needed at this time of year

Pros: - The outside lawn, garden and pool looks beautiful. - Perfect location near different beaches, restaurants and mini markets

Very nice accommodation, cleaned daily, very quiet. All the staff very friendly especially the cleaner Maria and the gardener. Ideally situated only 5 minutes to the beach and 5 minutes to the many bars and restaurants

Pool area is small like hotel itself but again clean and comfortable. Pool bar was not open at all during our stay. Aircondition was in both rooms; living and bed rooms, and worked well

Nice, calm, clean and central place in Platanias. Great to have a pool close to the apartment. They charge extra (only possible to pay these extras in cash) for air condition (10€ per day) and for safety box in the room

Top Location, Convenient, Proximity to lovely beach, Clean, Friendly, Informative, Helpful!

We stayed in the newly refurbished rooms which were lovely and clean and very nicely refurbished. The pool area and beach were lovely but we didn't have time to use these facilities

Friendly staff, good beachbar/poolarea and nice location. But bad aircondition, very hot at night in the room. And in the reception/common areas. Breakfast was mediocre with narrow selection

You can sit where you want for breakfast, unlike Porto Platanias. Great breakfast that you can take to the seaside. Two large rooms, including kitchenette, two air conditioners, balcony

Superior room was really nice and had perfect beds. Even the extra bed in the room was really comfortable. Room was very clean and has a good air condition. And so were pool bar with snack and drinks

6 Two TVs -- one large TV with Netflix, YouTube, etc. The only con I list is that the parking is a small dirt road, which gets your car very dusty and dirty

Also very friendly staff there. The pool area was clean and nice. The location was perfect and near everything (bus station, mini train station, restaurants, Agia Marina and Platanias)
