Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa

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 a comfortable and conducive environment for both professional gatherings and leisure. The staff at the hotel were incredibly helpful and flexible, adeptly accommodating our needs and constraints, which was no small feat considering the size of our group.

One of the highlights of our stay was the Cretan night event, which everyone greatly enjoyed. It was not only fun but also gave us a taste of local culture complemented by high-quality food that was consistently impressive throughout our stay.

The hotel is also family-friendly, which was appreciated by attendees who brought their families along. The overall atmosphere of the hotel made everyone feel welcome and well-cared for.

I must commend the hotel administration for their exceptional efforts in assisting us. Their dedication and professionalism made our conference a resounding success. We are all very grateful for the hospitality shown and highly recommend Porto Platanias Resort Hotel for both professional and personal visits to Crete.

"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, go above and beyond to make every stay special. They are not just helpful and respectful but truly embody the spirit of Cretan hospitality, always ensuring that every detail is perfect.
The resort itself is a slice of paradise, where every corner holds a cherished memory. The breathtaking views, the soothing sound of the waves, and the beautiful sunsets that paint the sky over Platanias beach create a serene backdrop that has been the setting for countless family moments. Whether it's enjoying a quiet morning coffee by the sea, laughing over a delicious meal, or watching the kids play in the pool, every moment here is a treasure.
Speaking of meals, the food at Porto Platanias is nothing short of extraordinary. The culinary team masterfully blends traditional Cretan flavors with a touch of modern creativity, resulting in meals that are both comforting and exciting. Every bite is a reminder of why we return year after year—the love and care put into every dish is palpable.
But what makes Porto Platanias truly special is the way it brings us closer together as a family. In a world that moves so fast, our time here allows us to slow down, reconnect, and create memories that we will cherish forever. The laughter, the joy, and even the quiet moments of reflection we’ve shared at this resort have strengthened our bond in ways words cannot fully capture.
To the entire team at Porto Platanias, thank you for being the keepers of our summer traditions, the creators of our happiest memories, and the reason we look forward to coming back every year. Your dedication to excellence and your genuine care for your guests do not go unnoticed. You have given us the gift of unforgettable summers, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Until next year, when we return to our little piece of heaven on earth—thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

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 everything you need.

We had the best week last week at Porto Platanias Beach Resort. Our two girls, 4 and 7 had such a great time at the mini club, it was a sanctuary for our red haired girl who often needed a break from the sun. The animation team were so trustworthy and provided so much fun for the girls all week! Top marks to them! The location of the hotel couldn’t be better and the food was great and varied. Great service, the rooms were cleaned every day and we were always met with a smile by all members of the staff. We will come again! We have been home for two days and our girls are already asking when we’re going back 👌😊😍!

Beautiful. The staff work so hard to cater for everything you need and want. Special thanks to Nick from the entertainment team and Grigoris from the catering team. Everyone was great but these two made it that more special

Very clean, ood beds, very friendly staff, at last the majority of them, and all working in restaurants, cleaning and so on very friendly.
The fact that many rooms are under ground level is not mentioned any where, we først received one of those rooms, and request a better room. Next day we were givende the oppertunity to chose between two rooms. Do they did in deed try to satisfy us.

Honestly such a good hotel, I was so surprised to enter and see the view from the balcony. The rooms are so welcoming here and I would recommend this hotel to literally anyone and everyone. Your room is cleaned in the morning and excellently so. The location is so perfect, just by walking out of the main entrance you gain access to various different shops and by exiting through the back you have the beach literally steps away.

I wouldn't say 5 stars, but 4,5.
Very nice hotel. There are 5 swimming pools, so finding a sun bed is not a big issue.
Fabulous food choice, every day something different.
Couple of bars, but for all inclusive options, just one.
Nice beach just beside the hotel. Sun beds there are 10eur per day, which is a lot I think.
In check out day, we received all-inclusive coupon valid until 19.00, which was very nice.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience which I would like to repaet in future.
