5 star hotels in Platanias

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. Friendly and helpfull staff. 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. From the moment we arrive, the warmth and hospitality we’re greeted with are unparalleled. The staff here, who have become like extended family...

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our conference at the Porto Platanias Resort Hotel, and I am compelled to share our wonderful experience. From the onset, the hotel staff demonstrated excellent coordination and collaboration in planning our event, ensuring that every detail was meticulously arranged to meet our specifications. The facilities at Porto Platanias are in superb condition, offering...

Nice holiday resort. 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. 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...

Where you get your room in the hotel matters. A lot. At first when we arrived we got rooms that didn't look anything like the pictures in the hotel's website. Our sea view room was on the ground floor with the smallest balcony of all sea view rooms, and the actual sea view was mainly blocked by a restaurant and parked cars. The craziest thing however was, the room literally didn't have a single power...

We spent the last night of our weeks holiday at this resort as a treat. The room was very good - very clean. Some excellent perks such as welcome drinks / cocktails and a bottle of wine. The Spa was beautiful- I enjoyed their amazing cool pool and jacuzzi all to myself. Beach and hotel pools good. What let this place down was the very poor quality of food we ordered with room service. I had to send...

The resort grounds are very beautiful! The beach area is nicely kept, from there you can see breathtaking sunrises & sunsets. 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". The food choices are amazing, a massive buffet both at breakfast & dinner, although dinner...

Great stay at the Minoa Palace. The hotel facilities are great and never felt over crowded, although the hotel was fully booked. The swimming pools and the beach are perfect. Spa is really nice, a bit expensive. Restaurants are overall good. Service is friendly and professional. Few axes of improvement: - Room cleaning can be better (the dishes brought in the room should be removed, cocktails for...

We had a wonderful time at Minoa, with staff that was helpful and friendly and facilities that made our stay a treat! Their beach area was neat and tidy, and complimentary sunbeds. We also used the tennis court and also had a coaching session which we very much enjoyed! The breakfast was nice with Greek and other foods, something there for everyone! I can definitely recommend this place for your...

Genuine 5* experience. Great facilities, convenient location and the staff were lovely and super helpful. Incredible food options in the main restaurant, super fresh and very high quality. We stayed during the end of May bank holiday, resort was busy but we never had a cue or wait for anything. The beachfront rooms were a little walk from the main hotel including a walkway over the main road so...

My boyfriend and I decided to go to this 5-star hotel for a week in August. We especially enjoyed the food at the buffets & restaurants in the hotel - the quality is definitely superior than in other hotels we've been to in Greece. The room was very comfortable (amazing King size California bed). Sheets are changed once every week. The only absolute disappointment was how dirty the private beach...

We were half board and would not book as half board again,breakfast is good with wide variety of options however dinner was a total disaster. 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. Sunbeds are also not available at the pool on most mornings despite the pool not opening...

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

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. Friendly staff. 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. Don't miss that. Cons: The beds are a bit to hard for me, as I could feel the springs into my skinny back.

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!

X-Suites offers exclusive luxury next to Agia Marina cosmopolitan beach! Excellent facilities, jacuzzis, swimming pool, comfortable super luxury rooms and the greatest roof garden for breathtaking sunsets! Enjoy your evening drink or morning royal breakfast with the greatest view!

What a great boutique hotel. Completely new I think we were the first to stay in the specific room. Spacious, lovely decoration and fully innovative in terms of the technology inside the room. By giving verbal commands you can do pretty much everything (lights,curtains etc) in the room. Very friendly staff and I loved the roof garden. Very close to the beach, and next to the hotel a couple of super...

Newly renovated hotel. Porcelain stoneware, glass and polished steel. Very technological electrical system, controlled by the Alexa system. Fantastic shower and jacuzzi in the large room. Impeccable cleanliness and what about breakfast? Rich and full of excellent products, not trivial. Eva, who runs this beautiful, 6-room structure plus swimming pool and roof (nice terrace), is a beautiful young woman...

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

Positive: Food Room Staff Negative: Coffee (Very bad for breakfest, not esspresso) Smoking eveeywhere Dirty pool Beach is not nice the road to the hotel is very steep Not 5 stars for this hotel, just 3

Absolutely awesome place. Very responsive and friendly staff. Varied cuisine. The sea is nearby, however, you need strong legs to climb from the sea to the central building :). I strongly recommend it.

Almost everything perfect: rooms, food, the pool, the beach. Perfect. Almost - because the coffee was TERRIBLE.

Staff very obliging. Plenty of food but all much the same. Not a 5 star. All inclusive til 23:00 only.

It was nice but not a 5* resort as their website suggested. Also the all inclusive is limited bar choices and food. You can only dine at the Italian or Chinese one of the nights during a week long stay.

Nice spacious rooms, good food. Not enough waiting Staff, Kids playground indoor and outdoor old/broken. Not enough sunbeds on the beach. A la carte restaurant serves food from the Buffet.

Excellent facilities , nice room, nice location, nice food! The only problem was that some people that work there were very unhelpful! I should ask for something 10 times before I could see results! The only people that knew their job was Eirini at the reception, Kwstas at the restaurant and the boys at the pool bar. The other employers didn’t know their job.

With its lovely views of the ocean and sun umbrellas up, we pulled in for a coffee and a break - alas, there is no provision for a coffee and or a drink outside of meal times. The lady in the dinning room was apologetic but couldn't help. Place appeared clean and tidy - albeit that this was early in the season.

We were there in 2016, before renovation. Hotel is very clean and regularly cleaned up. Private suites with pool are awesome!!! When Main pool is closed you can calm swim in yours pool, even on midnight (it's worth try :) ) During the eight days of the stay, themed evenings with the cuisine of various regions were organizerd. The hotel has a well-stocked shop with a wide range of assortment.

Lovely room .Big comfy beds .Food tasty and lots of it .Buses outside run regularly to Platanias .Great play area for children .Sadly no entertainment at night .

Fabulous hotel with first class accommodation and facilities. Perfect place to come to if you are looking for total relaxation. Staff are warm and friendly a true example of Cretan hospitality. Would happily return

Very nice new hotel right on the beach with a very friendly staff. We enjoyed a week of relaxation, good food and time at the pool. The beach is long and sea turtles are nesting there. It is not the biggest hotel but have all what you need to wind down on your time away.

Very nice hotel & staff! We had a great time here and felt very welcome. The food was fresh and very delicious. We stayed in a pool suite and loved it very much! A huge plus is that kids are welcome! The staff was very kind and patient with our daughter even when she spilled her drink :)

Location is great (directly on the beach with beautiful sunsets) the hotel is newly refurbished with lovely décor and high quality furnishing. The rooms & facilities are clean (and I mean very clean - they disinfect even the sunbeds daily!) and the staff was just incredibly friendly and helpful. We were on "all inclusive" and for the first time I actually checked out with a 20EUR bill after 10 days...

Wonderful hotel! We loved our stay at Asterion. Attentive staff, there was always someone nearby, tended to all of our needs. I never stayed at a place were the hotel manager asks the guests (everyday!) if everything is OK or if we need anything. Also, the staff gave us a bottle of sparkling wine and fresh fruit to enjoy on our last night, simply awesome. When choosing between different rooms we...

Quite a nice hotel. The welcome is cool. You can park your car just in front of the hotel. Quite a large building where you feel free and peaceful. The pool is of a medium size. It was enough & never crowded during the period where I was here. The biggest advantage is the direct access to the beach. Very nice beach by the way. The food is pretty good in general. I had breakfasts & diners (buffets)...

Beachfront boutique hotel, great customer service ,great spa, great sea view room. Perfect location for a relaxed chilled vacation

This is a really beautiful resort! We went in the end of the season, few days before the hotel closure, yet they managed to provide the full experience! The room is specious, views are nice, very clean, pools are wonderful, but the only problem is that they were cold for October. The stay was for my honeymoon, and I was surprised with the great welcoming and preparation for a romantic stay in our room...

Stayed for a week in September. Fabulous Hotel and special thanks to Daria who upgraded us to the Executive Suite. Excellent food and service. Very clean hotel and Covid safe. Would highly recommend this Hotel.

Lovely hotel, with immediate access to the beach. Calm, friendly staff. Social distancing is handled properly and the staff makes it easy to follow the rules. Greek and Italian restaurants on site - the Italian one is really good! Pools, ping-pong, badminton, pool bar and everything you need to just hang out and relax. Sun beds are free. The staff can also help you with excursions and finding things...

The hotel is generally very good. Good food, good rooms, good pools, good position by the sea. Normally it would get four stars. What pushes it towards the fifth star for me personally is the guides. Specifically the one in charge of the activities called Katie. I've never been very interested in resort activities before but I thought I'd give it a shot this time. And I'm so happy I did. Katie was...

We stayed at this hotel 4 years ago. Really good staff nothing too much trouble. Food really good. Rooms well kept . Little shop on sight and jewellery shop. Right in the lovely beach . Good outside bars with snacks . Entertainment was a bit low key but quite pleasant x

Really a nice place. Kind and helpful staff. Wonderful food and drinks. Great possibilities to train and be active. Highly recommend.

The hotel is very nice, especially its staff and service is incredible! Also if you are not satisfied with the hotel/rooms itself, the hotel staff will make you laugh and smile every single day! The barkeepers Mr. Panos, Mr. Stefan and Ms. Anastasia are the best I have met/seen so far! They are a really good team and will make your stay unforgettable!!!

This is without a doubt the best all inclusive resort I have been to in a long while. The rooms, facilities, food, beverages, and most of all staff helpfulness is way beyond 5-star quality. The front of house staff have supported us in our stay and solved any problem (of my own making I might add), with a smile. The pool/beach area is stunning, and the food/beverage facilities are plentiful and you...

I really enjoyed my stay here. Staff are friendly and helpful. The room is clean and has air-conditioning. I got swimming pool next to my room, so I can swim and do sunbathing as much as I want. Food here is so good too. I highly recommend this place. 👍 #AllIWantIsGreece

Great stay! Good service, good food and nice facilities. ? we rented bikes and biked over the mountain to kissamos. And we walked over to Afrata beach ca 10 km. A lovely hike! Beautiful views! ?

What a fantastic place. Great hotel with some really nice touches. The hotels in great shape with super views from your balcony. The rooms are big with quality large bathrooms. The outside pool in a great size. The staff are so friendly. The food is fantastic. The only downside to it. It's a bit out in the sticks and the beach is pebbles. Shame as we passed some picture postcard beaches on the way...

Everything was really really good. Food is great, always a good choice, maybe not that big choice like in Egypt/Turkey hotels, but the quality is much better. Very nice staff everywhere; and here special thanks to Inna from animation team - daughter loved her and it was superb. Also, I definitely like their sustainability policy in all aspects. Also, there are a lot of activities for kids - kids club...

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. 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. The friendly layout of the resort is also a plus. It is definitely a...

We visited the hotel to spend the day with a day pass, that gave us the opportunity to enjoy 3 magnificent main meals at the buffet restaurant. There was a snack bar during the day which was great for the children and 2 pool bars with some nice cool beer and soft drinks! Will visit again in the future! Special mention for the personnel at the bars and the restaurant and the kind people in the reception...

Lovely hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. Food and drinks selection is great and a lot of variety. The room we stayed in (sea view room) was good and quite spacious with a great view! If you are travelling as a family, definitely book a family room and not the standard ones as they will be too small for families over 2 people. Beautiful walks along the beach at sunset and lots of places to...

Nice hotel lots of bars and food places food is of a good quality at the buffet the entertainment was decent particularly the watch man show beach is clean with lots of loungers the pools have good amount of loungers one complaint the there wasn't many signs telling you where toilets were so it was a case of finding them

The staff and food were amazing. We all sat at the pool and the football coaches were amazing. And the beach was lovely at night, the bar staff were having a good time especially at the pool bar near beach at night and the singer was absolutely outstanding he sang in English which wasn't his 1st language he spoke Dutch, French and English which he spoke him and he was brilliant at guitar singing songs...

Very welcoming owner and hotel at all. It’s situated in the centre of Agia Marina. 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.

The hotel located in the very nice area, the beach is just across the street and there are a lot of great restaurants around. 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. I really recommend Oscar Suites to everyone.

Fantastic staff. Very child friendly and caring. They give you personal service and remember your issues and requests. 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

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.

Even though our hotel is located only a 5 minute walk away from the beach we also offer the option of enjoying our swimming pools to cool down during the hot summer days of the Cretan summer!

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.

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.

Fantastic hotel, right next to the sandy beach. The dedicated sun beds on both the beach and by the pool were of high quality. The rooms were also nice, with small kitchens equipped with everything you need for making food. The location was perfectly placed next to a shopping and dining street with all conceivable options available close by. We opted to not have breakfast included and didn't miss anything...

Beautiful hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. Food is delicious, especially desserts :) eating evening time at beach restaurant is sooo romantic :) 100% I recommend this hotel. Positioned at the main street of Platanias but you can't hear the noise when at the pool or beach. Nice playground for kids.

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.... You name it. Been for a week in October but still warm. 25 almost every day. Gorgeous place. Even if you have small children you can enjoy your stay

Unforgettable holidays at Althea Village Hotel Both families with children and couples will feel right at home here. Althea Village Hotel is an ideal destination that offers a perfect blend of relaxation and a pleasant holiday experience. We had the pleasure of visiting this hotel in September this year, marking our first trip to the beautiful island of Crete. The always cheerful, accommodating, and...

A beautiful, immensely green hotel with multiple amenities and excellent food. I traveled from Poland with my wife and it was definitely the best 4 star hotel we've ever been to. A big shout out to Petr (the life of the party!) and other members of the animation team for creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the stay. If you want to see Crete (and it's very much worth it, it's a paradise...

We stayed at this beautiful hotel in Crete for a week in early September, and we were absolutely delighted. The hotel is located about a kilometer from the beach, but the walk is easy and enjoyable. There are plenty of beach bars and renting sunbeds and an umbrella only costs 5 euros, which is very affordable. The rooms were lovely and clean, and the surrounding hotel grounds were well-maintained,...

It is a very nice hotel, very pleasurable. The service and attention are very good, the activities in the main pool (it has 3 pools) are constant and they are very friendly, the restaurant has a variety of food every day, Mr. Niko and the restaurant team are incredible. The rooms are comfortable, neat and clean. They have the main bar and different locations where you can find soft drinks, Greek...

AMAZING! I would recommend Althea Village to anyone and everyone. We visited for the second time in back in July for our honeymoon and just wow! The staff are all super friendly- especially the manager Stavros. He personally came to find us and greet us after taking care of us through email communication in the lead up to our stay. His attention to detail and how he goes above and beyond is honestly...

A variety of lovely clean pools. Rooms were spacious and clean with two separate sofa beds for our two children. Big variety of food available at each meal and from the daytime snack bar.

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. (A little too big for a couple)

A solid 4 star hotel by virtue of their friendly and hardworking staff. I stayed in a suite at this resort hotel over 10 days. The hotel has most of the facilities you would expect from a 4 star hotel. The bed not too comfortable and the shower is quite weak and their old water tank still gives hot and cold water cycles. So your shower will constantly turn hot and cold which is pretty annoying...

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.

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. I have to highlight how polite and nice the staff were. Highly recommended!

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.

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.. problems or advices , i will come back for sure . Thank you guys ! Also the hotel is beautiful comfy and in a great location .. the beach awesome we loved it . Special thanks to Marianna...

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. Very good room service. Food was great too. Special thanks to George and Xanthi at the pool bar! You guys are amazing and unforgettable ❤😍

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

Tidy, newly renovated, clean. Good pool area. Good breakfast. Good location. Stayed in double room; the room was neat but simple (few furniture, small bathroom), bed was of bad quality (very springy, impossible not to wake spouse up when turning). Service was OK but not impressive. AC good. Internet patchy.

The resort was lovely, the rooms were clean and spacious. The buffet was excellent with a good range of food. 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. She went out of her way every time to help us. All the staff were so friendly...
