Hotels in Platanias

Large resort hotel in Platanias village right next to the beach. The hotel is spread over a huge area, with many room types to choose from in several buildings. There are several smaller and larger pools between the buildings, which are not heated. 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...

We were moved from the village resort to the beach resort due to being under subscribed at the end of the season. 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. Fine print though states both resorts have to pay extra for the water park at €15 per person. We did use it one day and as the resort...

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. 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...

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...

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.

Average , could be better , some positive points , the beach location is great , plenty of sun loungers available on the beach . The Restaurant has a good variety of food and a good standard, but it does have other issues, it’s quite chaotic, often one or more drinks machines were out of order causing a queue, often running out of clean cups or glasses , when it’s raining the outside area is obviously...

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 . 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 5.45 pm and was told too late come back at 10 am next day ...

We've just returned from a lovely holiday in Crete. The hotel is good but as I say in the title, there are some improvements needed. We still really enjoyed our stay though. When we first arrived we had to complain to TUI about our room as we had paid extra for a swim up room but the one they put us in originally was far from it. You had to cross a big terrace to reach a small pool directly in front...

Perfect for all ages from 0 to 99. The staff especially Nikos on front desk were extremely helpful and assisted throughout with a smile. For my first time in an all inclusive resort I can only say it was a great 4 days of exploring, family time and wellness

great hotel, great location. great staff. the bartenders were absolutely brilliant, one really stood out his name was Zhivko

We spent some holidays in a past years in a hotels better and worst and we had some sort of level of everything that we didn’t want go lower. 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. Starting from reception, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We were offered to leave baggage...

Great resort. We are in one of the ground floor rooms. Would have give an extra star if I had a better view from my patio. Some rooms will have. We went bed and breakfast and the breakfast is great, loads of choices.

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

Very happy my first holiday in years. I took a long time scanning the Internet for a destination and I chose this 👌 I must say I was happy. Jet2 were fantastic and I will use them again also. 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...

Lovely hotel with great customer service and fabulous food. Spacious rooms cleaned daily very well. What makes this hotel special is their greatest asset and thats the staff who are sociable, friendly and go above and beyond. Leaving a piece of our hearts in Crete

This is a great and clean hotel complex. We didn't do the all inclusive although the breakfast buffett covered all bases. The swimming pools offer variety and the beach is fantastic to visit around 4pm/5pm when it is a little cooler. The staff who cleaned are room were amazing and very friendly.

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.

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

This our second stay at this lovely hotel, we stayed two years ago. We were here for two weeks and loved it just as much as the first time. 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...

This was our fifth visit to Althea Village hotel and once again it did not disappoint.Year on year Stavros the hotel manager and his team welcome us to the hotel as if we are family. Every year there are changes made and this year the restaurant area has been changed in order that the flow of guests is less congested at busier periods therefore no queueing . So much thought goes into what makes the...

Excellent stay at the Althea village. Room was lovely and cleaned daily. Food was excellent. Aways something delicious to eat no matter how fussy and lovely kids section Staff are so friendly and work hard to make sure everything is OK. Lovely pools and no fighting for sun beds. Reception staff were very helpful and so was the Tui rep. The spa and gym are excellent as well . Lovely well kept gardens...

We had a wonderful stay at Althea Village Hotel. The hotel and room were beautiful well presented, well presented and had everything you could need for the perfect family holiday. The entertainment and pools were also exactly what you would expect something for everyone there are 3 pools one quiet one, one where the entertainment is performed water polo, aerobics, etc and one where you can play...

Great stay! We had a very nice room and the food was varied and delicious. The swimming pools really completed the holiday vibe! The service was excellent whenever we had questions (for example, arranging taxis). Perfect for a carefree and enjoyable holiday!

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

It was peaceful like paradise.Amazing choice for relaxing .The staff was so friendly. Angelo we ll come back .Miss u

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

The hotel of the dreams. 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.

Excellent hotel! The rooms spacious with a lovely view of the pool, we could sit outside and relax or swim. 1 minute for the beach. Also the windows were soundproof so no matter the noise or music outside, the rooms were peaceful

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.

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

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

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. We used the spa and had a very relaxing experience , recommend it . 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...

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 dinner format has improved this year. It used to be a set menu if you were half board, but it’s a standard menu this year so you can choose from a variety of things. However, the hotel is...

Fabulous hotel fantastic staff great food excellent location pool scene good Ouzaki pool restaurant is exceptional value for money

Our cruise ship was detoured here due to high winds and dangerous surf. We emailed the resort and asked for a day pass, which they offered to us. We rented a lovely day bed and towels and enjoyed the sun, bar, and restaurant service. The staff was all polite and professional. Our lunch of pork gyros was delicious. This was a great way to spend a windy day.

We have just returned from another wonderful week at this hotel (4th year running) We had a double sea view room which was clean, comfortable and of ample size. The cleaning team are amazing, not just the rooms but the hotel and grounds are all immaculately kept. Great service at the pool bar and the guys that bring your drink direct to your sunbed if requested. We were B&B so I can only comment...

A great team from bar to reception to the cleaning team. The location for the beach and attractions (short taxi to Chania) is excellent. Rooms are starting to look a little tired. However, they are kept clean, and more than regular towel/ linen changes are welcomed. Breakfast is good, and it was clear that many people return year in year out. An adults only location. Great that there is no deposit...

The breakfast was tasteless, and has a small selection of not-so good food. There is a teenage boy working here who’s yelling constantly, and staring at everybody the whole day by the breakfast and bar, which ruins the good vibes at breakfast and is really annoying. No do not disturb signs to put on the door, which means the poor washing lady has to knock on the door and disturb people living there...

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.

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

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.Good location for different trips. I'd definitely book it again.

The hotel is very clean, helpful staff

Very nice hotel! Breakfest is very delicous served almost at the beach, there is drink bar with amazing drinks, swimming pool is clean and pretty. The view from the room is brilliant and the beach is super close to the hotel. I am very happy with the stay.

What can I say, we loved it. 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. 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...

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. Only given 4 stars as the breakfast was disappointing. Not a great choice, hot food barely warm and no orange juice for 2 days. A choice of fresh fruit would have been appreciated. However the rolls were freshly baked and...

Had a lovely 11 days here. Very friendly, helpful staff, we had an issue which was sorted out to our satisfaction. Two nice swimming pools, never overcrowded, always got loungers. 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

Oscar Suites was wonderfully relaxing, spotlessly clean and all of the staff were warm and welcoming. We had a wonderful week. The two pools were perfect, Valentino’s restaurant was amazing …. we ate there several times and the food was delicious. The buffet breakfast was great and varied everyone. The bus it Chania took 25 mins and every 10 mins and is a must to see. Agia Marina beach a five minute...

We had a fantatsic 10 days here. Large rooms, clean and comfy. 2 small pools but we preferred the beach. Buffet breakfast. Really lovely staff and very friendly.

Well located hotel run by an excellent team who delivered friendly & efficient service. Immaculately clean with good facilities. We stayed in the new buildings to the rear where we found our room was spacious with new good quality fixtures and fittings.

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 🤩👍🇬🇷

The rooms where alright. 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.

Tourism is big business on Crete and the team running the Geraniotis have figured out how to make the most of it. The main Platanias village on a hill is a 15 minute walk and Chania is 30 minutes away on regular crowded buses (with a stop right outside). The hotel is well designed: two-storey, white, vaguely Arab-style buildings with lots of grassy areas, flowerbeds and trees. The rooms are functional...

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👏).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.g.greek and…swing👌).We recommend this...

On arrival we were met by the night receptionist with a smile and a very helpful attitude. We were promptly shown to our room, so quickly loaded our cases into the room and headed to the pool bar for a night cap. The next day we opened the shutters of our balcony to be met with a beautiful sea view we were very happy. Next stop breakfast with lots of choices and all cooked freshly, the standard of...

Absolutely stunning hotel we are here now it's beautiful, rooms are lovely, staff are great can not fault the place we've got another 10 days to go yet, wud definitely recommend thus hotel everything is perfect

We spent a week at Geroniotis, and had a really good time. The hotel is big, but since it’s a lot of small houses, it still has a cozy feeling to it while still being an all-inclusive hotel. The hotel is located at the beach, so you have access to both the pool and the ocean. The pool bar plays music at a comfortable level, and although we did not have all-inclusive, we still though the prizes were...

Nice hotell. Friendly staff, beautiful location and good service. Very good service and a happy lady in the minimarked of the hotel. A short trip from platanias centrum and stores. If im comming back to creete i would love to stay here one more time.

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...

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. Breakfast really nice and...

Just returned from a week at this fabulous hotel . This hotel is amazing the bed one of the comfiest i've ever slept in . The attention to details is second to none and i would 100 percent stay there again . The staff penelope on reception and eddie who worked in the restaurant and bar were lovely and friendly . The location of the hotel is amazing as well as the food we ate one evening in the restaurant...

My parents came from Azerbaijan for one week vacation here and absolutely loved it: nice and clean hotel, access to the beautiful beach, a beach bag with toiletries. What make their stay even more lovely was a very attentive staff - Penelope, Catarina, Mohamed, and special thanks to Andreas for his signature daiquiris!

My wife and I loved this hotel. Right next to the beach and breakfast was wonderful. But what made our trip extra special was the hotel receptionist Katarina. She was so kind and helpful. She gave us the best recommendations and made the hotel feel like a home.

Me and my daughter really loved our week at the Porto Platanias Luxury. 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. Also a ironing board and iron so one could get wrinkels out of the shirts. Breakfast was...

we won’t be staying here again. The amenities are just not up to our usual standards. the airconditioning system is substandard so the room was rarely cold enough and we are in the air con business. out of the hundreds of hotels we have stayed at in the past 40 years, this is the only hotel that doesn’t supply free water every day. Our television had constant internet issues so we couldn’t use it...

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

Close to the centre of the town and on the beach!

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

Good hotel and very helpful staff, the cleaningladies are very nice and happy! If you are there more than 7 days you will get tired of the breakfastbuffé let alone 7 days the juice ia barely juice and tastes very synthetic. Beach is as close to the hotel it can be and is quite rocky the first 2-3 meters in the water. It gets deep very fast so be careful if you children. The pool could have been bigger...

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. Excellent food in the restaurant, a lot of dietary dishes for children, a variety of the diet were changed every day. Clean, well-kept grounds. Two nice...

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.

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. A perfect spot to unwind!🙏🏻💫

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. Pay extra for beach towel 6€. Pay extra yes it continues... the written rules and extra costs aren't making you on vacation feeling. I recommend ear plugs also, your gonna hear everything into...

Super good hotel. 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. Strongly recommended.

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...

I have been staying in toxo several times and looking foward (hopefully) doing it again this coming summer 2025. Hotel is located nicely close to the beach, supermarkets, restaurants etc. Also bus to Chania is very close. Hotel has 2x pools and it's not too bad to get yourself a spot by one of the pools. Staff is very friendly and everything has worked really well in my opinion. If we can get bigger...

Arrived very late and reception was closed but rang the phone number and manager arrived to show us to our room. Large apartment, 2 storey with 2 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with 3 balconies. 2 double beds and air con in each room including the lounge area. Clean with a small kitchen area with fridge and crockery and cutlery and washing up equipment. Proper clothes airer which was nice. Well kept...

Really good hotel. Nice place, clean and good hospitality. Have covered parking what was plus for us. Totally recommend

Always incredible ❤️ we love the hotel and love Tonia, Mike, and Mamma Gina.....always so amazing, and always looked after here. We've been coming here since meeting Stella and Theo many years ago.... who have since become our good friends, and we have never looked anywhere else to stay in Agia Marina. Just the best xxx

We stayed here a week with four Kids. So nice small hotel. Poolbar had good and quite good prizes. You could eat in the bar or in your room/balcony. Good location, quiet road on the side. Super market just other side of the road. Pool were nice, kids could play with balls and other toys. If we go again to Platanias, we will get here again

Clean, comfortable and affordable room for a 3 star hotel, excellent menu, and pool bar, ..it has 2 pools for children and adults..the staff are friendly and helpful , most important is the fact that its wheelchair friemdly which many hotels dont

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

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.

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

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.
