This is a nice hotel with kindly staff. The activities and the leaders of the activities are great, such as stretching, dart, volleyball :-) The cleaning of the room was not the best, i wonder if they wash the floor? Again if it werent for the dart and stretching i would be bored.

Porto Platanias Resort is a great Hotel and Resort. Nice rooms, friendly staff, good buffet meals, nice pool side bar, several nice pools, and about 75 feet from the ocean. The Spa is beautiful with great selection of treatments! An all around great place to holiday on Crete!

Stayed at this hotel in Crete booked through Thomson Holidays. Book direct and forget Thomson. This is a great hotel on the beach and withn 2 minute walk into Platanias itself. Hotel is great for families and peace andf quiet. We found a perfect spot away from the pool which was peaceful and had a great view. Rooms very large... More

Stayed at this hotel in September 2012 for our Honeymoon. We arrived in Chania airport thinking that we would be on a smelly transfer coach! However we were met by our rep, who then got us into a nice black Mercedes, which took us on a 30 min drive to the hotel. The hotel reception was open, light and welcoming... More

Stayed here for a week in October just before the hotel closed for the season. Not 5 star if you are from the UK but I wouldn't argue with it being a 4 star. I booked this on short notice after Cavo Spada decided to close early for the season and ignore the fact I was booked to go there... More

Stayed at Porto Platanias for a week while my husband was attending a conference at Crete (this was in October, so end of season). We were very happy with our room, which was clean and had a kitchenette. The balcony was facing the street, but it didn't matter as I rather spent time on the pool or the beach anyhow.... More

My partner and I have just returned from a lovely week's holiday here. Flew in with Ryanair to Chania airport and as our bags were first off the carousel, we were at the hotel only 45 minutes after landing. Taxi cost 42 euros going, and 46 back to airport. Reception area very stylish. We were in room 217, in what... More

Impressive reception area and nice pools but that's where it stopped. Our room had no natural light and an underground terrace. We asked to be moved on 3 occasions but were told the hotel was fully booked, we wrote a letter to the manager also and this was ignored. We were all inclusive but all inclusive here did not include... More
