5 star hotels in Platanias

Our first impression of Porto platanias is that it is a lower mid-tier family resort. While the inclusions of play parks, multiple pools, baby beds and a daycare are nice considerations they do not overcome the multiple shortcomings we have noticed in our first few hours here. Our first disappointment was the receptionist who could not be bothered to give us 100% of his attention during check-in; he...

Staff were super friendly and went above and beyond. Hotel was modern, big and had lots of pools. Rooms were clean and fresh. Restraunt for all inclusive was lovely! Views were also great looking onto beach while eating. Would definitely recommend. The only things to improve would be that by 9am all sunbeds was taken. I think staff should go around and remove towels from reserved beds. You could only...

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. 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...

Platannias Ariston is one of the best charter hotels we have stayed in. We visited the hotel 2 years ago, and we had to come back. This is a small hotel with only 14 rooms. The service is personal and excellent, rooms are very good with everything you need, you have your own place on the beach and it is just a very short walk before you are in the center of Platannias. All this make your holiday perfect...

The best hotel in Platanias. Special thanks to Dimitri from entertainment team, who made our stay so fun. Best memories from his water aerobics class and water polo.

My family and I (2 kids under 10) stayed at Porto Platanias beach resort over Easter and it was fantastic! Highly recommend. All the staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The food was delicious for any meal and snacks were great by the pool too for All inclusive. We have some food allergies in the family and they were accommodating and helpful to be sure we had all we needed. The Amination...

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 hotel and room were spotless, very clean and comfortable. The facilities were great, and the spa service was also very good. I especially appreciated the multiple swimming pools with plenty of space to relax...

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. 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.

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. 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. Their...

I am very satisfied with the service. Ctrip's customer service is also very professional. Thank you very much.

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...

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

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.

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!

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

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

It is a small, super modern hotel. Breakfast has a lot to choose from and tastes very good. The suites are cleaned daily. Many thanks to Angie for the great service. She was very friendly and helpful. 🥰

Modern hotel with excellent service. I have only good things to say about this place, so I will list few down here: 🍇 amazing breakfast with sea view from the rooftop ❄️ rooms with air condition 🛁 jacuzzi 🧹 very clean rooms and overall cleanliness 🏖️ 1min walk to the beach 🚗 will help you in case you need a car to rent or a transport from/to the airport etc. 🏊‍♂️ cozy pool area with some sunshades...

Very good. No false advertising here. Suites are spacious and clean. Bathrooms are top tier. High quality breakfast and friendly staff. Worth the price.

Had an amazing two weeks spent at Galini with all inclusive. Nice and clean hotel. Very nice staff, especially one bartender that stood out to us were Mateo. He was very nice and helping. He recommended some good spots (beaches, etc) on the Island that went to. You have transport down to the beach/market with a golf cart wich is very convinient because of a step hill. Good food and drinks also at...

To start off: WOW Such a lovely place. Me and my friends stayed for 2 full weeks with all inclusive, and this were JUST what we were looking for. We find the other reviews to be untrue. Yes, the hotel is located on a steep hill, but this should not be a surprise to the guest. A little research would have revealed that. Our stay here was lovely. We got great rooms, they have great food. The cherry...

We brought our two boys and they loved the mini waterpark and Kids’ Club. The 5 outdoor pools kept them excited all day. The buffet restaurant had great variety and the spa gave us some much‑needed relaxation too. Excellent family choice.

Overall I am somewhat happy with my stay but there are a few things I would like to point out. I was hesitant to start by tipping the housekeeper, I thought it was only right to do so at the end and as a result the room was not cleaned well enough. For example the bed was not changed for the 10 nights I stayed and the towels were only changed twice. On the second to last day I had to go to reception...

We alternated between poolside lounging, spa pampering, and afternoon beach swims. With free loungers, umbrellas, and shuttle, we never lacked options. The hotel's peaceful vibe made it easy to unwind—yet always exciting.

Our stay at the Gallini Sea View Hotel in Crete was average. The location with the beautiful sea view was definitely a plus, and the staff was friendly. The rooms and food were OK, but nothing special. There were no major flaws or special highlights. Overall, a solid stay that was neither particularly bad nor outstanding.

Me and my bestfriend have just spent two weeks at Solimar Aquamarine. We booked a double room with private pool and we loved it! Every summer we book a girls trip and travel for two weeks together. This has to be the two most relaxing weeks we have had. As mentioned we had a room with private pool so we did not use the shared pool area at the hotel, but we did notice that it is not that big. Our stay...

Stayed in a superior suite with private pool & full sea view (room 126) last week of September. Think there are 9 rooms in this category. Our suite was ginormous with huge living area with sofa beds, a separate bedroom with sofa, spacious bathroom including a separate shower room & a separate bath with shower over. Great for families. Bed was huge & super comfy. Lots of storage & surfaces for your...

Typical all-inclusive resort… average food, pool too cold, basic service, too far from everything (far from the beach, far from Chania). The room is clean and well equipped. 1F ‘garden’ rooms feel a bit like a basement.

I recommend that you make a reservation for a vacation and enjoy the food and the environment with your family. The hotel staff are very friendly and polite, the food is very tasty and varied, and very clean, clean rooms with the best service.

We booked a private pool room. It was ready an hour early for us, we paid €80 for a late check out until 6pm on last day and was able to have dinner before leaving for the airport. Totally worth it. Hotel was clean, staff were friendly, loved the room and location. All inclusive was good, nearest shop was reasonably priced. Free sun loungers on the beech. I am not a very sociable person but we...

Just on our last night of a weeks stay here- and we’ve loved every minute. The hotel is nicely spread out, and is very clean and tidy. The pool area is lovely- comfy sun beds and more than enough for everybody. Food is really good and there something for everyone. All inclusive drinks are very good- lots of options including many cocktails- and the beer is great. Not a great deal going on in terms...

My daughter and I have just spent a week at the Asterion. We thought that the facilities and the food were excellent, although it is the staff who make this a fantastic place to stay. The reception staff, the restaurant staff and service staff could not have been more friendly and helpful during our stay. As someone with mobility problems, I valued the accessibility of the hotel and its grounds,...

A great place to relax for young and older couples without children, as it is an adults-only hotel. Ideal for those looking for peace, minimalist and beautifully decorated accommodation (Scandinavian or boho style with Mediterranean and Greek elements). It is not a busy tourist spot, which is an advantage. There are several great restaurants nearby, a promenade suitable for jogging. The city of Chania...

A 5* Hotel Resort that definitely lives up to its rating. The customer service is outstanding across all aspects of the hotel. We wanted a relaxing stay and this did not disappoint. The restaurant is first class with creative dishes every day. If you are looking for a boutique 5* Hotel for a relaxing stay then you need look no further. We hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful holiday in Crete – this time on the western side of the island, as we really wanted to visit the Samaria Gorge and Elafonissi Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and the entire complex – small, but full of charm! A special mention goes to the friendly and attentive team, and a big thank you to Goran, who welcomed us warmly every evening and provided excellent service. The atmosphere...

Asterion is a perfect place to stay for a relaxing holiday. My friend and I stayed at one of the Planet rooms, and they were spacious & just what we needed. The bed was very comfortable with a firm mattress (the perfect firmness), and the room had everything that you needed. The hotel has a lovely and nice atmosphere, and it had a perfect location if you don’t want to live in the middle of the tourist...

Our last night at the Asterion Suites. Highly recommend this place. Lovely hotel. Ideally located on the beach. Not too busy. The food is spot on but what makes the place so relaxing is the friendly staff throughout. Will definitely be back.

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

Loved the exercise classes. Lovely pool Not too crowded

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...

This is without a doubt the best all inclusive resort I have been to in a long time. The rooms, facilities, food, drinks and most of all the helpfulness of the staff are all above 5 star quality. The front of house staff supported us throughout our stay and solved any problem (made themselves I might add) with a smile. Fabulous pool/beach, plenty of places to eat and drink and you never have to wait...

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

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. 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. Soft drinks not great at all. ...

Hotel not really busy what was a plus for us no fighting for towels 😂😂nothing around hotel to see and schoops already closed Very cold water in october should be heated if u want be 4 star food was average nearly all the same every day What was for a plus very nice people around hotel especially reception team and animation team 😀antonio we will remeber you and Tatiana 😀 we definitely not back...

I think this hotel is not far from 5 stars compered to the other hotels in the Europe. Everything from Hotel services was perfectly fine from the biggening to the end. All staff on all levels are very polite and professional. Special Big Thank you to Kids club, The lady who look after children very intelligent and responsible you can feel you leave your child in safe place. Hotel in nice, clean with...

Visited in Mid-October for a short 3 night stay. Hotel has been refurbished to a high level and the bars/rooms/restaurant/pool areas are very modern and welcoming to relax. Estimate the hotel was only 25% full with the majority of sunbeds and tables in restaurants available. Guest relations were able to help book the a la carte restaurants ahead of check in which were both worth a visit. Food/drink...

We had an amazing experience at Atlantic Oceana Resort! The hotel has recently been renovated, and everything feels fresh and modern. Our family especially loved the Kids Club, which had plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained. The pool area was absolutely stunning, with ample space for both adults and kids to relax and have fun. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful, making...

Went on business but turned out to be a memorable fuse of business and vacation for a good one week. As it was at the end of September, it was not crowded, thus both the resort staff and the facilities were not overwhelmed and in fact, I was treated to a really welcoming, spotlessly clean and calm environment. The weather was still quite warm so going to the external swimming pool was the highlight...

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.

Nice hotel, i only got rom at ground level. Nicer rooms higher up.

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.

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.

Friendly staff, clean, they went the extra mile all of the time to make sure we were happy.

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.

Very nice garden. Good hosts and very clean rooms.

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

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...
