Hotels with pool in Kato Daratso

Unfortunately, hotel guests "reserve" the sunbeds in the morning, so it often happened that although there was no one in the pools and around them, we still couldn't find a free sunbed

We had the most wonderful vacation in years! The hotel is spotless and well-organized, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome. Our room was cleaned daily and fresh towels were provided every day

Pools are very cold apart from one which is heated. Beach is on the doorstep but you have to pay for the beds and drinks. If you’re a white wine drinker, find something else, it’s not nice

The sea-view rooms are spacious and have a kitchenette. Their terraces open onto the hotel's beach or a small fishing port. There are also rooms overlooking the pools or the main road or in quieter corners of the hotel

The beach resort is lovely, clean and the rooms are clean and can be cleaned daily. The food is lovely but it’s the same things every night with a very small variation so does get a bit boring by day 5-6

We did use it one day and as the resort was shut there was only one other family there, only downside was we couldn’t use the shop as it had closed down for the season but the main rd is very close

Stayed 6 nights in a pool view room which we were upgraded to. Had a beautiful view from the 2nd floor. The bedroom and bathroom were both very spacious and clean. The buffet breakfast was excellent

I especially appreciated the multiple swimming pools with plenty of space to relax and enjoy. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again

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

Fantastic Stay – Clean, Comfortable, and Relaxing I stayed at this hotel for 4 days and had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent—staff were friendly, helpful, and always attentive

The beachfront rooms were a little walk from the main hotel including a walkway over the main road so ask for a room in the main resort if you'd rather avoid, but wasn't an issue for us

Was fresh every morning and had a very large variety of hot and cold dishes and sweets. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Overall a pleasant stay in a beautiful property

Food was good , and a very good choice. Nice pool area , only a handful of people reserving sun beds by the pool , no issue getting a sun bed up to 11. The beach sun loungers are absolutely filthy, torn and tatty

Its clear why so many guest do not use them and use the ones by the pool area , as we did. we did hear other guests mention this to the reception but like us think it fell on deaf ears

Beach towels are only allowed to be changed every 3 days between 10 am- 4pm. With no exceptions , We had been out on an excursion all day came back at 5

You had to cross a big terrace to reach a small pool directly in front of 3 or 4 other rooms that were occupied so it would have been very strange for us to turn up and try to use it

The best place and the best people. Very nice! Eddy ans Michalis are the best barmans! We are very happy to be here. I recommed very much!

Nice clean hotel , although room towels and bed sheets had seen better days , some frayed , and holed , which we did mention to the hotel reception and it was rectified immediately

The bars were good 👍 all inclusive drinks however do seem a little watered down but hey ho saved a bad head the next day. The beach is literally next to the pool and was great for sunbathing and snorkeling

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

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

The hotel has its own parking and has plenty of restaurants nearby, beachfront as well as in the main street. The host is very friendly, he offered a lot of valuable suggestions for spending time around the island

When we landed at the hotel there was an issue with our room so we got moved to the sister hotel over the road for one night which was fine, then they gave us a free massage and late check out also for the inconvenience which wasn't really an issue

We got a bus for 20mins about 2euro each to old town and the harbour was beautiful 😍 The rooms were deep cleaned daily which was great 👍 the staff were all pleasant. Overall I'd go back yes but want to try more places

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

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

The most stunning place in Platanias. Very clean. Great pools and high level of service.

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

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!

Overall a nice hotel. Breakfast is not included, which would be nice. Rooms are a little worn, but with nice facilities. Nice location next to the beach and a couple of stores and restaurants.

Some improvements have been made to the restaurant since we were last here, which made the experience even nicer. The hotel has 3 pools which for a small hotel (165 rooms) makes getting a sunbed never a problem

One of the pools has entertainment in with Madina, Bato, Danja and Addy making sure you have fun. Great water dance programme with Addy and a big shout out to Madina for our morning stretch and yoga sessions

There is a glorious beach just down the road, 20 minutes walk. Bus to Chania can be picked up at bottom of road and 20 minutes you are in the old town (2 euro). I would recommend this hotel, it's good and honest

When it comes to the accommodation, we received a room in the new section, across the street. A spacious room with a view of the pool and mountains, as well as a breathtaking sunset

Everything was great, especially Radek as an entertainer. Great food, activities and location, very helpful staff. Rooms were clean and in good condition. Would definitely recommend

Everything from the rooms,gardens,pool areas ,reception,bars are stunning and kept in pristine condition. Rooms are cleaned daily with the exception of Sundays and pool towels are provided free of charge

Lovely hotel, very clean and well taken care of. Beautiful "garden" and Pool Area. Only minus comes restaurant IT IS noise. We didn't have all in clusive but still IT wasn't nice on breakfast

In the new wing, the rooms, which are actually apartments, are very nice and tastefully furnished. Nice pool, even if the slides are for children or a little bigger. Lunch and dinner are above average for a buffet

They arranged a birthday celebration for our four year old girl and it was wonderful. The pool area was perfect size for us and our children, who are two and four years old

Very nice, staff is very friendly, food is very good, rooms are very clean, bar is amazing, pool is big, everything is perfect

Nisea beach bar is great, and you can get a sunbed on the beach providing you buy something. All in all we had an brilliant time, and can't recommend the hotel enough!

There could be more sitting places outside. Breakfast was really good! This hotel IS perfect If you travel with kids!! We were there adults and we liked this hotel a lot🥰

Excellent hotel! The rooms spacious with a lovely view of the pool, we could sit outside and relax or swim. Also the windows were soundproof so no matter the noise or music outside, the rooms were peaceful

The bartrender Angelo was an Angel from above. The bar was a pleasure to hang out, he is so friendly and make the best drinks I have ever drank. You have to visit and say Hello from Kimberlee to Angelo

We spent half of our honeymoon here we were welcomed with beautiful gifts and friendliness, the hotel was beautiful, comfortable and clean

Everything was amazing. Very satisfied .Tomas the security and Angelo very profesional we miss them .See u next year

Very nice hotel! The bartender and the staff was very good! The best drinks I have ever teased!

Very clean rooms, nice pool. Good and polite people.

The hotel as is ok. We had an apartment below grund which was ok big, but not very cosy. Cleaning was meh, but the people were very nice. Perfect pool for the whole family is one extra star.

Wonderful stay, very good quality price, the hotel manager has been always smiling and helpful

Small family hotel by the beach. Would get 5 stars if they updated the rooms a little. Nice staff, clean areas and rooms.

Back for a 2nd year and it didn’t disappoint. We stayed in one of the sea view rooms again (#500 row) which gives you a view of the pool, sea and bar, and even though the hotel is quite compact it isn’t noisy

The pool bar made excellent cocktails and Manos's cocktails are far the best ! The Thalassa is in a good location with plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance

Quiet room, comfortable bed, good location, great pool and fantastic service. All positives, no negatives.

This was the second time we've stayed at the Thalassa and we were so pleased we did. Fantastic hotel , lovely staff , great room and a good size balcony with a pull out clothes drier

The sunbeds on the grassy area by the pool were very much in demand every day, but we preferred the beach anyway (coarse sand and rocky when you go into the sea so take beach shoes!) Everywhere was very clean and tidy, a well-looked after hotel

All the staff are very welcoming and attentive; a special mention goes to Klapsas the cat for keeping us entertained at breakfast! Bar area and Ouzaki beach restaurant are lovely to have lunch in, the bar has a nice vibe in the evening

Obviously a quieter time in the season in September but we loved being able to walk in and get a table, get a bed around the pool pretty much anytime

The area is chilled, if you are after late night sessions this isn’t likely the area of Crete for you but for us, perfect We would definitely go back for a chilled week of relaxation Thanks to you all (even you Jimmy (Dmitry) despite you trying to ply us with Metaxa) We really enjoyed our stay

A lovely hotel, exceptionally clean with modern rooms. Perfect location with a 3 min walk to the beach. Towels and sheets changed daily, helpful staff and overall a good experience

The hotel has its own parking lot, is located on a holiday street, has its own swimming pool and has a nice environment.

The staff are brilliant, always friendly, always attentive, but in a nice personal way, not in your face One of the girls brought her gorgeous daughter in, everyone loved her but that just made it feel like home, which was brilliant

Small bar at the top pool with friendly service and lovely cocktails. Plenty of choice for breakfast, lovely warm crusty bread buns, staff continuously bring out extra food We would be happy to return

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.

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

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

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

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

Porto Platanias Luxury Selection exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the attentive staff who made check-in super easy at the reception

Lovely hotel! Brilliant location right on seafront and close to town's restaurants and shops. Staff are so friendly - Pinelopi and Katerina on Reception were extremely kind

Welcome drink on arrival and a voucher for a free drink at the bar also. Pool area is relaxed and there are loungers on beach and round the pool so best of both options. Rooms are clean and comfortable

We also appreciated the smooth service of drinks and snacks direct to the sunbeds after ordering in an app

Nice room/suite and facilities, clean, peaceful environment and top tier service from the lovely staff! The room was very well equiped, good comfortable bed, great air condition, bathroom supplies including razors and other useful items

Great service from the crew in the reception too, they helped us with everything from luggage to booking of excursions. All in all, I’m happy to recommend this Hotel and I’m likely to return if I visit Crete again

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!

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 pool could have been bigger and is often crowded by children, it goes from 0,8 m to 2 m to 2

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

Quiet hotel with helpful staff, all our requests were quickly fulfilled, despite the fact that it is a three star hotel

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

Excellent XSuites! Loved our three - night stay at these superb suites. From our immaculate, luxurious, and spacious suite to the most attentive staff, the experience was a joy from start to finish

Eva, who runs this beautiful, 6-room structure plus swimming pool and roof (nice terrace), is a beautiful young woman, kind and courteous as Cretan guests know how to be

The facilities are fantastic and Angie went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Would definitely come back for sure. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

A little bit of coordination with housekeeping, it pretty much needs to be done within a window since it’s so select (usually late morning)

Plenty choice at breakfast served on the rooftop restaurant. Really appreciated my birthday gift of a delicious bottle of red wine

Angie was so amazing and helpful! Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

This hotel mostly is for vacation at the pool. This hotel have 2 pools and close by acces to the beach. If you book this hotel be ready to pay extra for AC 12 € per night. Pay extra for beach sunbed 8€ per bed

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...

Our stay was wonderfully quiet and relaxing. The private swimming pool was amazing and the whole place felt peaceful. Both the room and shared spaces were very clean

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

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

Clean, comfortable and affordable room for a 3 star hotel, excellent menu, and pool bar,. it has 2 pools for children and adults

The apartments are spacious, modern, clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning good. The pool area has enough sunbeds for all the guests and the two pools are good for swimmers of all ages

There are also a couple of indoor areas for everyone to spend time in with a small library, some board games and a pool table. The slightly dated gym was also a great bonus

If we can get bigger freddo cappuccino when ordering it by the pool bar - would make me very happy, but you know - small things!

Pool were nice, kids could play with balls and other toys. If we go again to Platanias, we will get here again

The outdoor of the hotel is well kept, clean and very cozy with good sun beds. Good size pools for this kind of hotel

Cheap 👍friendly staff. Cleanlieness is good. 2-room apt which is big. A/C, internet and tv included in the total price. Nice pool with a small restaurant/bar. Recommended.

Small family hotel, nice staff. Perfect location and peaceful surroundings. Shops nearby. Rooms were really nice, big balcony, good beds. Cleaning was every day.

Really love this hotel, nice services, clean room, friendly staffs and near the best seafood and meat market.

Great Stuff! a big plus is that besides the customers they also take care of the animals :) Excellent!

Nice staff. Rooms are clean. Beds are good. Location is good, near Platanias beach and near the main road which has lots of shops and nice restaurants.
