Staff was very strange during check-in. They tried to "offer" me another room at a nearby property taking me with a golf cart to another building of their about a 1/4 mile away. Apparently they have other buildings not connected to the main hotel and they want more people to stay at those locations since they are unknown however the way they conducted business was very fishy. They would go in the back multiple times to discuss things in private and come back and tell me something and then go back again. Furthermore, we were never notified that the sunbeds directly behind the hotel were pay per use which I would have had no issue with had I known. On the 1st day of using them, I was approached by a man with a credit card machine after laying the sunbed for a 2 hours and still using it and was told I owe him 7.50 Euro per bed and I asked him why and he said it was their policy. I informed him that no one told us and he said it was on the sign near the beach hut area, I looked and there was no sign at all. I paid him but it was a very unneccessary experience and the weird thing is he only charged 1/3 of the guests. He would do a row or two of sunbeds then leave back to the hut. Then there were the random hotel workers asking to give you a massage but do not understand the word No. My friend who booked his own room with them told them multiple times No but one of them proceeded to touch him and start massaging his foot. Very unprofessional. Definitely NOT 5 Stars

We came back for a second year with our 2 boys and loved our stay yet again. We were given a free upgrade to a superior family mezzanine room which was a fab start to the stay. Our balconies overlooked the harbour, our favourite pool and the mountains behind. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, as it was last year, the pools were always accessible and never overcrowded and the safety of the resort meant we were never worried about the boys (10 and 12) going between beach and pool. The room was ideal for our family. The hotel is situated in the middle of loads of family friendly restaurants all serving delicious food and we were able to rent a car for the day easily, with access to the hotel’s free parking also.

I booked this hotel through Expedia, and while there were a few good aspects, my overall experience was quite disappointing.

What I liked:

The location is convenient and close to many attractions.

The hotel is clean and well-maintained.

The food was acceptable — not bad, but not impressive either.

What I didn’t like:

There is a daily fee for using the in-room safe, which feels unreasonable for a hotel in this category.

The room did not have an iron, which is a basic amenity I expected.

Beach chairs and umbrellas are not included — you have to pay extra for them, even though this was not made clear during booking.

However, the most frustrating part of my stay was a serious issue with the reservation. I booked and paid for an All Inclusive package via Expedia, but upon arrival, the hotel claimed I only had Half Board.

To make matters worse, the confirmation email from Expedia did not clearly state the meal plan included in the reservation. It only listed the room type, the number of guests, and my name — no mention of whether it was All Inclusive or Half Board.

This lack of transparency resulted in me being denied the services I had paid for. I felt misled and extremely disappointed. I trusted that Expedia would provide all the essential booking details, and I was not expecting to have to dispute what should have been a straightforward All Inclusive stay.

I strongly advise future travelers to double-check every single detail of their reservation.

This hotel is not a 5 star I would rate it as a 2 star. Staff is not friendly. Starting from check in everything was wrong. The day of arrival they told us that we will be going to another hotel because they don’t have rooms for us and that they upgraded our rooms to suites in a sister hotel much farther away. We were meeting at this hotel with my cousin and her husband that we haven’t seen in years, and they wouldn’t extend the offer to them as well, so of course we didn’t accept the offer. After declining, our rooms were magically available. Once we got in our rooms, there was an extra cot in both rooms so I guess those rooms were for a family of three. My kids had their own room and one day one of the staff members walked in the room without notice while my daughter was in the there, asking to remove our stuff so they could take it. This is unacceptable.
The pool beds were reserved with towels and books early in the morning till evening even though no one was there. So getting beds by the pool was a challenge. Also it was not mentioned to me at anytime that in order to lounge on the beach we have to pay 7.50 euros per chair each day. For the buffet dinner we were charged 29.00 euros per person which we were unaware did not include any drinks whatsoever, not even water. If they could charge me for breathing they would. For the money I paid for this hotel, I expected higher quality. I would not go back to this hotel and I will not recommend to my family and friends.

Hotel was really clean, food lovely and can cater for all. Did not feel this hotel was value for money. Limited day time activities and a DJ once a week which was awful. For a 5 star hotel it should have better options for the evening.

The staff at the reception is very friendly and helpful but the room service doesn’t always respect the do not disturb sign and will not only walk in (more than once) whether you’re still in bed or in the shower but will insist to ask to clean the room even when you say no. It’s unfortunate because the rest of the experience, amenities, site, etc. Was excellent.

Overpriced Hotel with Hidden Extra Charges

First of all, the hotel was definitely not worth the money we paid. Many services that should be included in a five-star hotel came with additional charges here. For example, even if you are an all-inclusive guest, you still have to pay 5 euros for one sunbed on the beach. Access to the indoor pools and sauna costs 20 euros per person, and the water park is also an extra charge. They told us that beach towels could only be changed every two days. Moreover, one of the reception staff members (not all, but this one in particular) was extremely rude. For the price we paid, we essentially just got a bed to sleep in and breakfast.

Good food, nice rooms can be recommended

The food was good and the rooms were nice and the sunbathing facilities were good IF you managed to get a sun bed.
There were just little things that could have been better such as, 2 times we had problems with our room key and needed a new one, we had all inclusive and should have beennable to have soup when arriving late, but that wasn’t so. The map of the property is not very discriptive.etc.

I would like to start by saying that I never wrote a bad review in my life. But this is not a 5* star hotel.
We were all SO DISAPPOINTED, that we requested our money back so we can go to a different hotel, but it was non refundable..
The pictures online look much better than what it actually is. The furniture and most things in the hotel are very old.
You don’t feel like u came to a luxury hotel.
The service is not 5 star. U have to ask for basic things that should be included in the room.
In addition, you have to put £10 deposit per beach towel. You have to pay for bed/beach umbrella on the beach that is part of the hotel.
I would say, that the hotel upgraded our room, which was still not to par what so ever.
Overall, if you want to go to a 5 star hotel, and enjoy the room and hotel facilities, this is not the place for you. If you are just looking for a place to sleep and will be out and about most of the day, the place is fine.

Perfect vacation- we love this resort!

We had a fantastic stay! This was our second time at Porto Platanias hotel and spa. The staff were warm and welcoming especially Anastasia. We had a beautiful room with a sea view and private pool which was great for cooling off. We were surprised with lively welcome touches such as wine fresh cut fruit and cakes brought to our room. Dining as we looked out towards Theodorus island was incredible and the dining room staff were attentive and professional, especially Vassily. The food was simply delicious and even better than our previous visit. It's a small miracle I didnt gain 5 kilos! Greek night was a true experience. Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was fine. We had some problem with the air conditioner not cooling but upon complaint the reception promptly sent soneone to fix it. Only drawback was loud noise at night from poolside games like air hocky tables.
Had a wonderful massage by George at the spa.

Reception staff are lovely and friendly! The hotel is beautiful and has many sunbeds by the pool so we always had a lovely spot. The hotel is situated on the busy shopping street of Platanias which is great as there were lots of cute boutiques, shops and really great restaurants along the road. There is a huge variety of breakfast foods at Porto Platanias and the restaurants in the hotel is really good value and tastes lovely too! The spa is big but some facilities were not working properly and the manager there was not too helpful. My massage therapist, Sophia, was great!

Conveniently situated and child friendly hotel

Platanias is a bustly, busy tourist haven which also boasts a beautiful long stretch of beaches. Porto Platanias was a great place to stay with two small children. The staff were very attentive, great with the children, polite , helpful and on the two occasions where the children had an exacerbation of their asthma, the staff called the local doctors and were very supportive . The buffets at breakfast and lunch had a really good choice of quality food. We had no issues of tummy upsets and both children ( one a very fussy about eater) ate like they were going to the chair........the hotel is clean and spacious - we opted for a room with a plunge pool but saying that the pools were never that busy. We were close to a pool where the music was being played loud, but the soundproofing of the room meant that daytime naps were not affected by noise levels . Behind the hotel is a beautiful stretch of sandy and shingle beach with relatively shallow waters perfect for the kids - the loungers and umbrellas are free for guests and unlike other places is well controlled with non guests paying ( so quieter than other popular beaches). We hired a car to be able to explore and travel further afield but you have restaurants , bars shops, chemists all locally if you prefer to stay local. I think if it weren't for the excellent hotel staff and the quality of the meals this hotel would be pretty average but these two factors would make me return again to Porto Platanias.

This hotel felt mediocre. The pictures sold us on a different vacation. All in all not bad, we went at the height of European holiday and while the staff was nice enough, the fellow guest were difficult to coexist with. It felt more like a Bermuda knock-off resort, not Greek in anyway. Not a bad stay, but next time I would look for something more authentic.

Ok hotel - for 3 stars!

to be honest I expected a little more for 5 star rating - genuinely in my eyes this is a 3 to a 3.5 star max.
Especially when you have to pay extra for everything - including a safe!! The distance from the airport etc should have been made a little more obvious - its not that easy to get to. In my view, it was expensive for what it was.

Please be aware that you even have to pay for the beds on the beach every single day you go. Towels you have also hire out. We paid a 2000 for 7 days and I feel it wasn't worth that much.

Also the pool - not enough beds as people take them early.

Noise - room 101 - at 8 am every morning - lots and lot of noise from the kitchen below.

Perfect Hotel for Clubbers

Checked in at midnight into a nice suite - until the aircon leaked water all over the bed. Front desk moved us into a room on the main road - about 200 meters from a club that rocked until 6:00am. If you are on the exterior of the property plan your day (and night) accordingly - probably won't be getting much sleep.

Pretty resort but staff needs some training/manner

I wanted to fall in love with the resort since you are paying a premium. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Pools are fine except you can't get a chair unless you are up at 7am or after 4pm. Wifi in most of the resort is terrible! Their hotspot doesn't work well, even in the lobby. Only if you are in the VIP rooms can you find a dependable connection. Very frustrating for an expensive resort. My biggest issue was the staff. Front desk staff was fine and helpful. Lots of people were around to help with baggage and questions. My issue is with the cleaning staff and restaurant staff. As a Greek-American fluent in the language, I was astonished to overhear how some of the staff spoke around guests. Do they assume no one is Greek? Lots of Dutch, Polish, Norwegians, and Italians. I overheard in the hallways from the cleaning staff frustration about people not leaving their rooms so that they could clean them and then also in the restaurant when guests showed up last minute or late to their buffet breakfast. I couldn't believe how bitter and frankly lazy they sounded. Very inappropriate to speak badly of guests that way and assuming no one understands them! You don't even need to know Greek to see their outward frustration. I would happily give my money to a smaller establishment who appreciates me, especially in these hard times for Greece. Disappointed I spent so much money considering staff and wifi problems.

Bad hotel in a cheezy area

This is certainly not a 5 stars hotel. On a rather small land, they tried to squeeze a maximum amount of rooms. Pools are loaded of tourists, you can't find a chair. The cafeteria (not a restaurant) offers a lousy buffet. Even if you paid for the breakfast and the dinner, you have to pay for your water or your soda. No rooms are waterfront. There is a street between the hotel and the beach. And few rooms have a real sea view.
We reserved for 6 nights but left after 4, even if we couldn't have a refund for the last nights...
Don't go there!

Beach Vacation

We came to Chania and Platanias as the first leg on our honeymoon and I wanted to stay somewhere pretty fancy. This hotel had a 5 star rating and beautiful pictures. And overall, it lived up the booking. The rooms were very clean, the pools and beach were gorgeous, and the food was amazing. Overall we were very happy. Couple things to note, we went in late May and the Mediterranean was still a little too cold to swim in comfortably. Also the indoor pool in the booking is actually part of the spa and is not available unless you pay extra. My only final complaint and bit of advice is that you return your beach towels a day early. We waited until the night before we left and the towel office was closed and we ended up losing our deposit. Not a huge deal but a little unexpected.

Overall still a great stay at the beach.

Perfect location on the beach

Great location, very friendly staff apart from 'guest relations'. We booked a double room and were given a room with two single beds stuck together, when we asked at reception the next day they said that's the room you booked and you can't change it but promised to put a double mattress to make it more comfortable, however they didn't actually bother.

Hotel breakfast is average, not 5star standard. Good variety and food is fresh, waiters are extremely friendly and attentive. However the restaurant is packed and often have to wait for a table to be cleaned before being seated.

Hotel has 3 pools which are very nice and excellent bar with very friendly staff. Very clean with games available and activities for children.

Rooms are very clean and spacious. Air con did not always work and it was extremely noisy in the morning with hedge trimming taking place at 7am. Apart from that and the room mix up very good hotel.

Value for money but not really a quality 5* hotel

Pros:
- more than 4 very large and organized pools to suite your style whether you want quiet and pieceful relaxing place or noisy kids areas, you can find it all
- decent room size with all the facilities you would expect to find (make sure you ask for a recently renovated room otherwise the others are more than 10-15 years old and dont bother paying for side sea view as it is not worth it.
- we found it very cheap for a 5 star hotel in Crete.
- friendly staff trying to accomodate all requests
- Excellent breakfast variety

Cons:
- the rooms were dirty (not to my standards) i.e. the cleaning ladies were mobing the floor without dusting it first and the result was terrible. The bed sheets were not very clean.
- The aircondition was switched off in the morning hours every 1 hour and we had to manually turn it on. Some nights the main aircondition was off and when we turned on the air condition in the room only the fan was working and the air was not cold. The reception area had no aircondition most of the time making it very uncomfortable to sit or wait there especially with all the glass around.
- the minibar in all the rooms was completely empty but luckily the fridge was working so we put our own water in.
- noise from upper floor rooms was terrible because the floor had no carpet (a good and a bad thing)
- Free Internet was only available in the (hot) reception area and nowwhere else ( no signal at all, at least with an iphone, ipad and an android phone)

Whi is rating these hotels?

On a recent trip to Greece my crew stayed at a number of "5 star" hotels. Each one of them was completely different, this hotel being the worst. Sure there were a lot of pools, but by 9am they were all mobbed by children. The only pool not victimized was the indoor pool at the spa. The buffet was extensive but the quality was average. in Greece 5 star means what? not sure, but if you have problems with tons of children and average service, stay here. if you want more of greece, pass and go somewhere else.

Loved the service from the bartender at Hermes lounge bar, he was so kind and gave excellent service! Worth visiting and chat with him!🌸
Also the location was perfect, close to the beach and the night life in Platanias ❤️

Very nice hotel, clean, and very friendly staff. The area a bit too touristic for my taste, but that's ok.

God og pæn hotel

Et super godt hotel med flere pool. Personalet er suoer imædekomme de og venlig. Der er meget rent og pænt

Hotellet ligger ikke på stranden. Dwr er en trafikeret vej imellem stranden og hotellet.

Hotellet har et kæmpe problem med liggestolene. Folk står op kl 5 græsk rid for at reserevere og perosbalet gør sjællendt noget for at fjerne håndklædwr fea de resverede liggestole.
Jeg har været der i 10 dage og personalet har kun gjort noget på min sidste dag hvor de fjenede håbdklæder for folk der har reserveret men kom først efter flere timer.

Nice holiday with kids

We were traveling with two families, children 4, 5, 7 and 7. The hotel was great! Lots of great pools, great location and really nice two bedroom room. Animation team, which was responsible for the program and especially children / kids club was great. Our kid spent 1-2 hours each day (except one) in kids club and also joined the mini disco in the evening. There were lots of great people in the animation team and our kids loved those people there. There are also really many nice restaurants near by. I can only recommend and we are already planning another trip there next summer.

Great food, great beach, clean and modern hotel

We stayed for four nights with all inclusive. Excellent buffets - three meals a day. Beach is very close and very kid-friendly. There are snorkelling opportunities along the stone pier on the left side of the beach. We also took a two-hour boat excursion to the nearby island, which is recommended. In general, a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Rooms are modern and clean, we had a maisonette for four persons with a small balcony.

Just a few areas of improvement: a) the safety lockers should be included in the price, b) there were very few power outlets in the rooms for charging and there were nowhere to hang towels in the shower room. c) it would have been nice to get a few water bottles daily to the room, as part of the all inclusive deal.

Flott og sentralt

Flott og veldig sentralt hotell! Ligger rett ved flott sandstrand, og mange gode lunsj- og middags restauranter. Rent og pent, med hjelpsomme ansatte. God kapasitet og utvalg ved frokosten. Et lite minus er for få solsenger ved bassengene og ved stranden.

Décevant

Nous avons séjourné 5 nuits dans cet hôtel. Nous cherchions le bon compromis pour se reposer dans un ressort tout en visitant la région.
En termes de situation géographique, l’hôtel est bien placé (même s’il s’agit d’un repère à touristes) et situé à 15 minutes de la Canée (notre coup de cœur) et à 30 minutes du port de Kissamos pour ceux qui souhaitent découvrir la beauté de Balos Lagoon.

Pour ce qui est de l’hôtel en tant que tel :
- le personnel est peu aimable
- la chambre mal équipée (pas de cafetière, pas de prise électrique à moins de débrancher une lampe, pas d’informations mises à disposition sur le fonctionnement de l’hôtel...)
- literie médiocre : mon compagnon et moi dormions sur deux niveaux différents car les matelas du lit double n’étaient pas à la même hauteur
- chambre propre mais savon et shampoing jamais rechargés (il a fallu qu’on réclame)
- les piscines n’invitent pas à la détente car enclavées dans le béton, au milieu des logements.

Compte tenu du coup de la vie en Crète, on a trouvé que l’hôtel était un peu cher par rapport aux prestations.

Dette er maksimalt et 3 stjernet hotel

Dette er ikke et 5 stjernet hotel - max 3 stjerner. Det gamle charter mareridt er tilbage her - kampen om liggestolene om morgenen (selvom det ikke er tilladt, håndhæves det ikke). Flere pools på hotellet men det føles enormt småt. Vi have halvpension og maden er faktisk ok god. Tjenerne søde og hjælpsomme.

Det er et godt mellemturistklasse hotel. Hvis du forventer 5 stjernet, bliver du skuffet.

Derudover er det ret skuffende at booke et SPA hotel, men der er kun adgang til spa'en mod betaling. Fitness centeret har ventekø pga max 5 personer ad gangen og air con her er ikke god.

Upplevelse

Jag kan berätta om det som jag tyckte var mindre bra. Det är att om man avskyr rökare, har en gravid fru eller har barn så är det svårt att undvika folk som röker då det inte finns några restriktioner för det på hotellet över huvud taget. Stort minus för det från oss. Det andra skulle jag säga att maten på hotellet inte var lika gott som på andra 5 stjärniga Hotel som vi varit på som tex Rhodos bay. Det tredje var att det kanske var lite för långt bort från staden (13km). Det är mycket trevligare att gå runt i staden än att gå runt i Platanias området.

Super fint hotel. Ligger meget centralt i Platanias, uden mod vandet med en lille vej man krydser og så er man på stranden.

Vil en anden gang kun tilkøbe morgenmad, og så spise i byen i stedet for at have all inklusive.

Fantastisk!

Reisen var fantastisk. Menneskene som jobbet der var utrolige høflige og kjekke, og passet godt på covid-regler med tanke på avstand og munnbind. Rommet var perfekt og renholdet som ble gjort en gang til dagen sto alltid til forventning. Frokosten hadde et meget godt utvalg, og antall bassenger i tilleg til stranden, ga mange muligheter innen soling og avslapning på dagen. Resturangen nede ved stranden serverte deilig mat, og selvom vi ikke hadde all inclusive spiste vi lunsj der nesten hver dag. Hotellet var åpent til alle tider, og resepsjonistene var uteolig hjelpsomme om vi lurte på ting. For eksempel hjalp de oss med å få en lege til hotellet for coronatest og medisiner mot infeksjon som en av oss fikk underveis. Selve rommet var perfekt, gode senger med deilig madrass, nydelig bad og en fin balkong. Eneste vi kunne ønsket var flere stikk-kontakter, rommet vårt hadde bare 2.
Ellers var reisen fantastisk, og hotellet sto for en stor del av denne gleden.

Dejligt sted med perfekt beliggendhed

Dejligt hotel midt i Platanias og beliggende ved dejlig strand og gode spisesteder. Indtjekning var lidt kaotisk og forvirrende, men venligt personale og rent hotel. Store værelser og flere pools. Et godt ophold.

Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Unser Zimmer war sauber und geräumig. Dass Essen vom Buffet war lecker, vielseitig und abwechslungsreich. Es hat ein kostenloses Parking, was für uns super war, da wir eine Auto gemietet hatten. Der Strand war leider sehr überfüllt und die Sonnenschirme und Liegen sind schon sehr alt und runtergekommen. Man musste für diese jeden Tag bezahlen (6 Euro), was ich für ein 5* Hotel peinlich finde. Am Pool konnten wir uns kaum aufhalten weil bereits um 8 Uhr morgens jede einzelne Liege mit einem Badetuch besetzt war.

Rannan vieressä, iso ja vähän sokkeloinen hotelli, mutta onnistuneella tavalla. Aikuisille oma allas ilman musiikkia > viihdyimme hyvin. Ruoka harvinaisen hyvää hotelliruuaksi. Palvelu kohteliasta ja ystävällistä, paitsi vastaanotossa jostain syystä nihkeämpää. Platanias vähän tylsä kun mm kävelyreitit puuttuu kokonaan, mutta hotellia voi suositella. Palaamme varmasti jos tänne vielä suuntaamme.
