Hotels with heated pool in Kato Daratso

Excellent service from Nikos at the beach bar, always had a smile and checking if things were ok. Spent everyday at the beach and paying for sunbeds is ok, then they are ours all day

"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

The staff work so hard to cater for everything you need and want. Special thanks to Nick from the entertainment team and Grigoris from the catering team. Everyone was great but these two made it that more special

Lovely hotel. Everything you need.We went all inclusive. Huge selection of nice food available every meal. Lots of variety. Beautiful location. Literally metres from the beach. Would definitely stay again

So happy to spend time at this hotel. Check in went fast, and we were a group of 7. Been there several times, and it is always nice to come back

From the moment we arrive, the warmth and hospitality we’re greeted with are unparalleled. The staff here, who have become like extended family, go above and beyond to make every stay special

Wonderful, in every way! Close to the beach, Clean sandy beach and sea. The pool area is also nice and clean. Fits for couples and families, for anyone actually. The room were big enough and the bed was very comfortable

Great Location. Rooms neat & tidy. Pool Area excellent. Food good. Easy walking distance to bars & restaurants and cafe bars. Will return....

Special thanks to George and Xanthi at the pool bar! You guys are amazing and unforgettable ❤😍

Martin from the animation/entertainment team was great! We all really enjoyed the daily darts game! Theodora (training captain) in the buffet restaurant was amazing, my 10 month old daughter absolutely loved her

Even outside the resort the local businesses were so friendly and not pushy for sales, in fact they gave us free drinks and gifts for our children! Can not recommend this resort and the area enough!

She went out of her way every time to help us. All the staff were so friendly and lovely which made our stay extremely memorable

We had same overboiled eggs, cereal, ham, cheese and bread every morning for a week. A big advantage was fresh orange juice and hot sandwich pan though. To sum up the best two star hotel I have ever stayed at!

And the staff was extremely friendly and helpfull. The hotel does not have a restaurant or a bar but that is not an issue as there is a variety of tavernas near by

We visited in may so we were surounded by a very nice smell of blooming flowers. The only thing I would see as an improvement is a wider choice of food for breakfast

I was here a year ago. All rooms is small, but for holiday is good. One room with kitchen, AC, bed and bathroom. Owner was really helpful and hospitable. This hotel is close to the beatch and shop.

Clean, peaceful, not far from Beach, Market. But breakfast are the same all days, haven't lunch and dinner opportunities and WiFi is not perfect. It wasn't working in our room at all

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

Minoa Palace is everything you could ask for in a Cretan resort: beautiful well kept grounds with 3 or 4 pools, multiple bars and restaurants and its own beach with umbrellas and beds

The breakfast was good but I was told I could not take my coffee out from the breakfast area - whatever we had had to be consumed there. Bearing in mind the pool can literally be 5 steps away from the breakfast area

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"

Since not everything is perfect, towards the end of our stay, the room next door got occupied and I could hear them being intimate, so thin the walls are! The cleaning lady filled the shower gel container with water, and did not refill the lotion

The spa pool & jacuzzi waters are kept so cold, it's impossible to get in. And they should upgrade their gym, which is not compatible to a 5-star hotel (extremely old/bad equipment)

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

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

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

I advise families with children, you will not regret it. There are always free sunbeds on the sea and near the pool. The food is excellent and varied. The rooms are decent, no complaints

Fantastic hotel, right next to the sandy beach. The dedicated sun beds on both the beach and by the pool were of high quality

Unbelievable beautiful place!! Short walk to a beautiful beach, pool for small children, and 2 other pools. Bar at the pool, good food, great breakfast with what ever you want, yogurt, milk bread cornflakes

I really enjoyed staying at Santa Helena. It's ideal for people who want a pool or beach just outside the rooms. The rooms themselves are really nice as well

Positioned at the main street of Platanias but you can't hear the noise when at the pool or beach

Beautiful hotel but poorly designed bathroom in our apartment. Pool was ice-cold (we went last week of the season though). Other than that, beautiful stay!

Beautiful arcitecture framing three lovely pools that makes family holyday easy and fun. Nice little playground and fantastic indoor playroom, when the sun is too much.

The rooms were cleaned on a daily basis, including regular towel changes. Moreover, from the early hours, the pools and pathways were well-maintained

The always cheerful, accommodating, and dedicated staff undoubtedly contributes to the overall high rating of this stay. Furthermore, we appreciate the overall cleanliness of the entire facility

Intimate bungalows surrounded by a breathtaking olive grove and a beautiful, well-maintained garden, are extraordinary elements of this place

We had the pleasure of visiting this hotel in September this year, marking our first trip to the beautiful island of Crete

In Althea you can literally feel like in Greek village, relaxing in gardens in hammock, feeling the peace and harmony to the surroundings

The rooms were lovely and clean, and the surrounding hotel grounds were well-maintained, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The hotel boasts three swimming pools

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.

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

Drinks in the hotel bar are way overpriced paid 8€ for a cocktail that was served in a juice cup and was less than half full! In saying that accommodation is adequate, location is good as it's close to everything and bus service to Chania is brilliant at 2
