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 and enjoy. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

We had such a lovely time at this resort. Excellent facilities, very clean and great customer service. Angelo on reception was always keen to help answer any number of queries we had. Enjoyed the spa and indoor pool very much. Conveniently located on beach side and easy commute to Chania town. Would highly recommend this hotel.
Suja, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best hotel in Plantanias. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The hotel is always clean, accessible and full of character. Breakfast was superb and the restaurant by the beach a lovely venue to eat it. An area I would suggest improving would be the menus of the restaurants to cater more for vegetarians and vegans but this is not a criticism.

Marcelo, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were travelling with a 16month old so really liked the facilities for toddlers - the playground and two children’s pools as well as the cot that was provided. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location to get to the beach, and restaurants along the strip. The food was nice in the restaurants - although not too many choices for small children.

Great to have a choice of poolside and beach areas. Room was very good and had a great view out into the bay. If anything could have been better it was that the food options could have been greater.
