Hotels with sea view in Kato Daratso

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

We arrived at reception for the room to be told we’d have to wait for another 3 family’s to use it first. Not great with young children when you’ve been promised you wouldn’t have to wait

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

(I think these prices were made up to be honest) We had a good stay overall, but this was ruined slightly on the last day when we needed the courtesy room

We asked about 3 times whether we needed to book one and was told every time that we should turn up 5 minutes before as there is lots of different rooms

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

Staff were super friendly and went above and beyond. Hotel was modern, big and had lots of pools. Restraunt for all inclusive was lovely! Views were also great looking onto beach while eating

What we expreienced as a bit negative was that even though all signs were saying that reserving sun beds were "illegal" most people did this every day so that if we were to get seats beside the pool before 12 PM, this was impossible even if apparently nobody were there

Perfect hotel, very friendly staff and we were always feeling velcome. We were travelling with one handicapped child in a wheelchair and the staff always looked after us and were very welcoming

Our first disappointment was the receptionist who could not be bothered to give us 100% of his attention during check-in; he was on the phone for a third of it, spent another third asking people behind us in line why they were here to see if he could have some "quick win" fixes and ended the check-in by speed running all the instructions of our stay and the resort map

These rushed explanations led to the misunderstanding of where to eat and what was included in the half-baked where the serving staff was much more well-mannered and even offered the two wines we ordered without knowing we would be paying for it

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

My husband and I stayed at the Minoa Palace for a portion of our honeymoon with the half board package and we greatly enjoyed the experience. Their location was great and transportation to Chania was easily accessible

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

The half board includes breakfast and dinner in which the food was excellent. We choose this option so that we could venture out during the day and explore other places for lunch

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

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’ve searched for this year holiday for 6 months because one bad review put us off. But decided to spend this year at Caldera and that was the best decision ever

Very nice location, with direct access to the beach. We booked an apartment with sea view, with a large terrace, very clean and comfortable

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

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

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

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

An amazing hotel with wonderful people and great service. The rooms have AC and comfortable beds. The food is delicious and the overall look is very modern and fresh.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

I have to highlight how polite and nice the staff were

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

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!!

We ate in the restaurant for lunch and it was fine, friendly staff nice. nice sea views in the terrace.

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

Nice, friendly and easy. Good location close to everything. Nice view from the balcony. Not crowded when we visited in May. Don't forget ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise.

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😁

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 🤩👍🇬🇷

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

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

The hotel is well designed: two-storey, white, vaguely Arab-style buildings with lots of grassy areas, flowerbeds and trees. The rooms are functional and well-equipped with good beds and little balconies

It is worth buying family apartment typ de lux number 165 because it was worth the price. High standarts of ccleanliness,very goog food(regional green products👏)

Although it is close to the main coast road it doesn't seem too noisy and the beach zone (with a kids playground, fitness equipment and a volley ball pitch, etc

The people all smile and have obviously been trained to be super service-minded! In short, lots to recommend, notably for families

Food is served buffet style and includes Cretan eco-products. The evening menu varies, so a half-board deal doesn't get tedious

The beach place wonderfull(UNCROWDED,grassy beach of hotel and sand /gravel beach with turtle nests and sea lilies-NATURE 2000. They are no loud animatora and loud disco. There is atmospheric live music(e

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

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

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

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

Of the 10 nights we only had dinner twice in the hotel as the food was not of a good standard, this added extra costs to our holiday as we had to pay for dinner elsewhere

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

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.

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

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!!!

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

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 rooms were spacious and clean, beds very comfortable. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Location brilliant, very central on the main road and on the bus route, and near the Platanias bus stop

We stayed in the brand-new luxury suites, located directly at the sea, at "Marika Hotel", which exceeded all our expectations. The suite was pristine and the sea-view breathtaking

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

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 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!

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

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

I highly recommend you to stay at this place

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

The hotel was great! We were searching for smth not far from the beach,and it is just 5 minutes to walk

The apartment has a good location (near the beach, bus stop, two supermarkets and the sea is a 5-minute walk away). There is a washing machine on the top floor that you can use

The rooms were always clean, we could have free grapes,apples and tomatos,and they were sooo tasty)) The owner was very helpful and kind (to call a taxi or a bus-it was never a problem)

Btw,if you need to get to the center-bus station is near,taxies are cheap, and you can get there on foot-it will take you about 25 minutes

For the price we paid, it was generally good. On the downside, during our 9 night stay, they changed our bed linen and towels several times and never washed the floor. The kitchen is missing a frying pan

Good hotel, close to the center and beach. Clean rooms and nice staff, the owner was also very friendly. Would go again! The owner also owns a very nice cocktail bar namned Café café which I would recommened going to.

If you are looking for a nice place to explore the island of Crete, this is definitely the best one! Excellent central location - it is very convenient and close to everything (bus stop, beach, main street with restaurants)

One kan feel like at home ,the owner is very friendly and we will go back again. It is in The center of everything and near to the main area and to the beach. The service were extraordinary and we had a Great trip

The best place for a vacation in Crete - We loved the hotel and we had a fantastic stay, totally recommended. It is a real gem in the village of Platanias thanks to the amazing hospitality of Giannis & his family

Taxi transfer can be arranged from the Chania airport. Sparkling cleanliness - the room was cleaned every day perfectly and smelled nicely refreshing. Pool area - very clean, well maintained and pleasant to stay

Always very responsive and answered all of our questions. Here you would really experience the genuine Greek hospitality. We would definitely return to this nice place and we highly recommend it!

Nice pool and good quality Sun loungers. Two balconies to catch sun morning and evening, a nice view of the sea

We started from the front rooms messonete between almost 3 floors, extremely spacious bright and chill for extreme hot days in Chania! Second suites even bigger can fit even 5 guests! Spacious brights and beautiful view at the swimming pool

Breakfast by the pool was excellent, and the restaurants on the beach just 5 mins walk away were superb. The host and staff were extremely nice and could not have been more friendly and helpful

Many facilities in the area : shops, restaurants, farmacies, not very far from town Chania

Elizabeth Suites are simply delightful. Epas and his staff are so accommodating, nothing is too much bother for them. We stayed in the Country Apartment and it was faultless. Everything we needed for a 2 week stay

The pool is lovely, very clean and sun beds comfortable. I give this holiday 5 stars, I would highly recommend and we will probably be back. Thank you Epas and staff for a wonderful stay
