Hotels on first line in Kato Daratso

There are many pool areas separated by sections of the hotel and direct access to the beach with the hotel's own sun loungers. The main restaurant offers a fresh selection of daily changing dishes

"A Second Home Where Memories Blossom Every Summer" My family and I have had the privilege of spending the last eight summers at Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa, and I can honestly say it has become so much more than just a vacation spot—it’s our second home

Whether it's enjoying a quiet morning coffee by the sea, laughing over a delicious meal, or watching the kids play in the pool, every moment here is a treasure

For drinks or a snack by the pool, there is an app that you can use to order something directly to your lounger. The rooms could be a little more modern, but they are clean and contain everything you need

The breathtaking views, the soothing sound of the waves, and the beautiful sunsets that paint the sky over Platanias beach create a serene backdrop that has been the setting for countless family moments

Every bite is a reminder of why we return year after year—the love and care put into every dish is palpable. But what makes Porto Platanias truly special is the way it brings us closer together as a family

The beach / pool bar was quite nice with the sofas, where you can grab a snack/ drink. The cocktails and especially Pina colada are to die for !!

The main restaurant offers both nice breakfast and you have different buffets every night, we had the Mediterranean buffet and the grill buffet. The other restaurant but the beach offers amazing a la carte menu

This resort is surrounded by lush green plantations blended harmoniously with the ocean breeze and a peaceful tranquility. There are 4 restaurants, pool bars and a beautiful wellness spa center

Very conveniently located this resort has its own private beach and makes it an amazing place for a great vacation. Where do I even start, we loved everything here

If you are coming here with kids, they have pools for both kids and adults and abundant sun chairs to read and relax

The hotel is connected through a private bridge to another property of theirs which takes you directly to the beach

it was a really good and relaxing stay. The hotel is located in a nice place, low and nice buildings with a lot of pools and access to the beach and sea

Choice of drinks in all-inclusive package is not so big, but I'd say it's enough. Pools are clean and water is warm

The only downside is pool opening times - from 10 till 18, I believe it can be 1 hour more on each side

Also, there are a lot of activities for kids - kids club, including some activities for while family, playground, playroom, etc. So really recommended for families

We never had a problem finding an umbrella and a sunbed by the beach. As for the pools, here traditionally most of the sunbeds were already "reserved" with towels in the morning

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

Nice hotel with good rooms and a good restaurant/bar. The pool area is okay, but it is very difficult to get a sunbed as the hotel allows people to reserve them by putting a towel down

Everything is on site making it perfect for those who are willing just to chill: there's a shop, a pool, sauna and SPA

Amazing hotel for families. The new rooms look great. Stayed in a 3-room apt. Very spacious and huge balcony. We’re definitely coming back. Playground is pretty cool and was a favourite amongst our kids.

Dishes at the restaurant are diverse, with cuisines from all over the world, and they are all delicious. The hotel is not too crowded, which I liked very much

It is located a bit away from the town but close to the beach

The selection was exceptionally large, but there was very little selection of food that was gluten-free.

Located very close to platanias city centre and right next to the sea. The hotel is built Cozy and easy to access sea and swimming pool

Perfect small hotel with direct access to the beach. Very clean! Covid friendly! Staff is very friendly! Breakfest in the open Waves restaurant. Breakfest is nice but can be improved.

Very fine best hotel, we think we would rate this hotel 4-5 / 5. stunning renovated superior rooms. nice staff. amazing sea view for breakfast and dinner.

We arrived a few days before the start of the holiday season so were disappointed that the on site "Waves Restautant" was closed for dinner for the full 10 days despite their banner advertising the restaurant at the entrance to the hotel

Clean hotel, pool and a little pentry in the room.

I have nothing negative to say, it is such a great place, excellent service, professional cleaning service, good restaurant, brilliant cocktail bar, very friendly staff, alot of activities to do close by and good rooms with the essentials

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

Polite staff. Clean room. Plenty of hot water. *No parking, which can be a serious problem on high season. We definately recomend.

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

Nice room, felt safe. The cellar apartment was large and cool. No extra dishes, and no soap to make the dishes. But our maid cleaned our dishes for us.

In walking distance of the most lively city in Creta Nice beach walk Good starting point for biking Very luxery Some rooms have less privacy Very clean Missing bike rental

The wines list was comprehensive with some superb local and Greek wines, backed up by knowledgeable staff who knew what they were talking about and always had a recommendation

The staff, without exception, were all friendly, courteous and helpful, offering excellent service

Beautifully designed. Great service. Will not forget my stay here, truly ground breaking.

The food at Domes Chania was excellent for all meals, but Dinner was outstanding

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

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

The beach: 9/10 it’s a beachfront hotel 🏨 It’s a Sandy beach and the ocean is clean, no plastics. Also nice to not have to worry about rocks. Location: 9/10 restaurants and stores galore on the Main Street

The rooms are clean and beautifully arranged! The beach is sandy, you have umbrellas and sunbeds, the sea is beautiful, with smooth entry and spectacular waves! Everything is wonderful! I had a wonderful vacation here! Thank you Alkionides Seaside Hotel for everything! From Romania with love

The room is very nice and well maintained. The proximity is very close to the seaside. There are showers situated near the rooms to ensure you can clean yourself off before heading into the room

This hotel has a wonderful position overlooking the sea, you can enjoy breakfast in peace on the beautiful terrace, beautifully arranged, dinner also with spectacular views of the sunset

The pool: 8/10 not the biggest pool in the region but it is sexy with its boutique style wooden floors on the side and vegetation wall

I have only visited the beach restaurant, and the have the best absolutely the best Cesar's salad.

Very good price for what you get. Outdoor/pool area is amazing and well worth it. Great location and less than 10 minute walk to the beach. Apartments are clean and spacious with great air conditioning.

Lovely staff, stayed here for 5 nights and they were very helpful. All the breakfast reviews weren't jokes. it really is as good as they say. Breakfast tables in the garden so you have a great view of the pool

Really nice hotel. Friendly personell, delicious breakfast, nice pool. Room is clean and the A/C works really good. You can book trips to tourist attractions at the reception.

The rooms are clean and with good working airconditioning. They clean it on regular base. The Pool is very nice and clean and the garden looks very neet en maintaind

Stayed for a week last summer and I have nothing to complain about! Had an amazing breakfast buffet and bar menu. One day it was a lot of fun with a Greek evening where we were able to see Greek dancing, music and food

The food and hospitality was exceptionally good value for money. I travel a lot around the world and can recommend this hotel 100%. The rooms were up to the standard of a 4 star hotel. We were fine. From Michael Gall

If you’re looking for a great hotel to spend your time in Chania, search no more as this is the best option you can find. The breakfast buffet was an A+ as far as quality, variety, and quantity is concerned

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at: beautiful, well appointed rooms, nice amenities, great service. But above all, the beach is absolutely heavenly. Clear, warm, calm water and fine sand

Comfortable beach chairs, plenty of umbrellas — i have never enjoyed my days at the beach as much as here. This is a top notch property in a beautiful setting and hope I will return one day

Can’t describe how wonderful our stay at Domes was. The welcome from the staff and the service from all the staff everyday was excellent. They were always happy to help

Breakfast buffet had everything you could want but every morning I had the 40% fat yogurt with a selection of toppings. The beach was so clean and there was always a lounger available

The beach by the hotel was one of my favorites in Crete - very relaxed with lots of soft sand and beautiful views. The pools were equally relaxing and the whole resort looked stunning

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

Clean, welcoming, great manager/owner and lovely staff. Near the beach and walking distance to many restaurants.

I really enjoyed my stay there.super clean rooms and shared places,beautifully decoration and nice staffs.Beside all,its perfect location near beach. I strongly recommend you to stay there

Top Hotel with Nice service and every rooms have 3 balconys. Great when you dont want to live in a big tourist complex.

Very close to 3 beaches and a bus stop that leads to Chania. Food was wonderful and staff is very kind and friendly. Rooms are small but they have everything you need. For the price you pay you get a great deal

Friendly owners and also the staff.Very helpful day and night.It could use some minor Improvements but otherwise perfect.Thank you for your hospitality.

Amazing food and atmosphere! We loved it and we’re definitely going back next time we ‘re in Chania!

Friendly and service minded staff. Wi-Fi was a bit slow but fine compared to other places on Crete. Ok Continental breakfast with little specialities. Dinner buffet was fine but not amazing

You will eat better at the local restaurant or in Chania. It’s possible to walk to Chania aprox. Agia apostoli is a fine base for exploring Chania and north/west Crete

We can recommend Elotina hotel price/value for money

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

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

Beautiful swimming pool complex with separate shallow kiddies pool and higher up a jacuzzi pool with glimpses of the white mountains. Covered but open sided seating area where breakfast and snacks are served

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

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

Great staff, everyone is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious. The pool is clean and good size. There is a great restaurant across the street

The beach is a few minutes away and a bus stop to Chania is also very close
