Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa

Our family had an amazing time atPorto Platanias Besch resort and a big part of that was thanks to the incredible animation and show program. Every day was filled with fun, laughter, and great energy from the animation team. We especially enjoyed the interactive games like “Guess What It Is” and the Music Quiz—both were so much fun for the whole family and brought everyone together in a lively, friendly atmosphere. Our kids loved the evening Disco, where they could dance and make new friends, while we appreciated the chance to relax and enjoy the positive vibe. A very special shout-out goes to Hristiyana, one of the animators who truly made our stay unforgettable. She was always smiling, enthusiastic, and came to us on every guest talking. Her ability to connect with guests of all ages, especially families, really stood out. She made us feel welcome and included from day one. Overall, the animation program added so much value to our holiday. We’ll definitely be back—and we hope to see Hristiyana and the amazing team again!

The animation team was very nice and Martin was a great entertainer. We loved our trip even though the weather was bad. The food was good and staff was really friendly and nice. Cleaning was great as well, and so was the multible pools:) I went with a couple of friends and we had a good time.

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

Spend two weeks at our favorite hotel in Platanias. The peace, calm and friendly staff is the main reason why we keep coming back to Ariston. Once again they delivered. We had a wonderful stay. Even the weather was superb the entire time. Also have to mention the delicious breakfast at the Olive Three. Thank you Sofia and Maria 🥰

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.

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.

They are not just helpful and respectful but truly embody the spirit of Cretan hospitality, always ensuring that every detail is perfect.

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.

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.
