Where to stay with pets in Kato Daratso

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

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

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

The food was excellent – delicious, varied, and plentiful. Even though the hotel had many guests, the restaurant never felt crowded and the service from the waiters was consistently high-quality

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

We were worried as we booked there for the water park but on jet 2 looking into it they were keeping the park open with the rest of the resort shutting

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

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

Average , could be better , some positive points , the beach location is great , plenty of sun loungers available on the beach

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!

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

45 pm and was told too late come back at 10 am next day , which was no good to us as we had booked another trip but the reception just back up the towel desk and said is the hotels rules and can not be changed

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

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 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 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

When the guy that was cutting the grass noticed that my child wasn’t comfortable with the noise stopped immediately and let us pass without stressing the child

Hummus, cheese thyme honey ♥️ Local sweets for dessert ♥️ if I only had two stomachs to fit it all in 😅 We’ve been there for 7nights and food never repeated

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

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

4 or 5 types of bread and 3 types of breadsticks. Great job!!! Excellent decision. In the new wing, the rooms, which are actually apartments, are very nice and tastefully furnished

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

The only downside is the sewage smell and a couple sewer fliers in the bathroom. Member of staff: Every member of staff we met was lovely and friendly. The cleaner always made our room clean and tidy

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🥰

The reception ladies were always helpful and smiling. The waiters, waitresses and chefs in the restaurant worked so hard. Staff regularly cleaned the tables and helped people find seats

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

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

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

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

If you’re looking for a relaxing adults only beachside holiday in a great location the Thalassa is hard to beat. Thanks All, looking forward to visiting again :)

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

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 rooms were fine, plenty of room, clean and cool We ate in Valentino’s (in house restaurant) a couple of times, see other reviews by me. Really good food and service, the entertainment was good too

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 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

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

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!!!

Very nice place to be. Really enjoyed it with my family. Thanks to the waiters you did an excellent job!!!!

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

Probably The best suites we have ever stayed within this price range! Friendly and professional staff, great location and excellent quality!

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!

FANTASIC SUITES! Really minimalist technology suites with jacuzzi inside. They are fantastic and very beautiful, and the receptionist is very pleasant and smiling. Rooms that have Alexa and make the mood in seconds!

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!

Beautiful hotel with great staff! The location is also perfect , not far from anything but still feels a bit away from all the stress. I recomend trying both resturants on sight and the bar !☀️ i will be back

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

the written rules and extra costs aren't making you on vacation feeling

Area very safe and secure, happy to walk around even late at night. Lots of excellent restaurants and shops very nearby, within easy walking distance. Little 'train trips' very worth doing

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

Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, from savory to sweet

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

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.

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!

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.

Nice simple hotel, very well located.

Very fine little condo for a family of 4. There is a small balkony with dry hanger and good amount of electric sockets. There was room cleaning service eberyday with new bedsheets

Very sizeable poolarea with great pool and very friendly staff, that can suggest where to go, so dont be afraid to ask. AC and key to safety box in rooms can be bought as extra

Great place, the owner is super nice. Close to the beach and many good restaurants.

Very good for the price.nice and quiet.

Just spent a week with wife in this hotel and everything which you need for vacation works. Hotel and rooms are clean and cleaned six times per week. Towels change every third day

We absolutely loved it ! Lady Katerina is an exceptional host . Lovely location , clean and accommodating

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

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

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

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.

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

The hotel is a steps from a great beach and located very close to two other excellent cove style beaches where the waters were calm everyday. The hotel itself was tucked in a small neighborhood that always felt safe

The hotel was spotless and rooms were spacious with all the amenities you would need on a trip. Provided parking made life easy after long adventure days, much easier than in old town Chania

If you happen to not have a car, the bus stop is a 5 minute walk away to take you anywhere you need. I would absolutely stay here again

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Antonio and other staff were very welcoming and helpful with anything we needed

The owners we very helpful and nice Highly recommend

We stayed here 1 night, and we loved it. The room was very spacious, a crib was installed as asked, the owners extremely friendly and helpful, they arranged the transfer from the airport

Amazing service and amazing people but most of all amazing location.. the beach is in ur back yard and youre surrounded by shops and restaurants!! Even tattoo shops and arcades! Simply perfect all around.

Beautiful view and perfect location, it is right on the beach! We highly recommend this small hotel to everyone!

Just come back from a week at this hotel. The hotel is lovely and the staff are, without exception, excellent. They could not do enough for us and we loved our time there. I would recommend it to anyone.

Very nice to spend all day on the beach. There is a bar and restaurant, they cook very nice and tasty. The staff care all day, very friendly. For 2 sunbeds and an umbrella you pay 6 EUR/all day

This place is very nice, it is not luxury but it is very clean and peaceful. Owners and stuff are really polite, we had problem with our rent a car agency and they tried to help us

Very nice place, extremely friendly staff and it is very clean. Place for every recommendation

The location is also excellent – restaurants, supermarkets, and bus stops are all within a 5-minute walk, and the beach is just a short stroll away

Great apartments, spacious and very clean. Breakfast excellent choice and again everywhere very clean. Pool areas spotless and many sun beds available. The staff were all very professional polite and friendly

Our first time in Crete We chose the Lotus Hotel as it was small & Friendly, the reviews were good, location to beach’s was a factor, as well as good transport links, I have to say we weren’t disappointed at all

Most importantly, the staff were absolutely lovely and truly made our vacation special. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Our favourite hotel in Chania Agia Apostoli! Excellent service,hospitality and cleaning! We have stayed there ceveral times since 2007 with our children and as a couple and its the best

Breakfast room lady was excellent and worked really hard keeping the venue clean. Reception staff very helpful and friendly
