The property was lovely, very clean and well maintained, the pool area is nice an spacious. It’s nice not to be in a high rise hotel! The food on the other hand I would not recommend this for all inclusive! Bed and breakfast at best! It’s jusy not at a 4* standard of all inclusive. The post mix and beer was not a brand so they didn’t taste great. If you are all inclusive the drinks are a self serve machine which also has a beer pump, most of the time the beer came with floating white bits in. I don’t think the lines get cleaned very often. We ended up buying drinks from the shop to be on the safe side! Staff were ok, although a lady had fallen down the stairs and we stayed with her as the staff didn’t seem interested which I think is appalling, 4 people staying at the hotel stayed with her until the ambulance arrived, hotel staff only came to tell us when the ambulance was here. All in all we waited approx 2 hours, maybe they could benefit from first aid training!

Very friendly staff, lovely swimming pool, nice clean room. Breakfast was Ok - more cereal options would have been nice.

We booked a double bedroom apartment that was supposed to be 45 sqm with a superb view overlooking the area. It is not even a 30 sqm apartment, with a very limited view on the wall separating the resort from the back road!! We explained to the Reception and the reply was that the hotel is fully booked! Nice area and staff but paid 500€ for a room worth 200!!

Bit crowded pool area with sunbeds reserved by leaving towels on them (against hotel policy). Otherwise good.

Very nice hotel with many pools. Good for children. Nice and polite staff. Close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The hotel restaurant has excellent food.

Lovely hotel, rooms were pleasant and always clean. Staff were friendly. We only had breakfast at the hotel but the food was nice and there was loads of options

Best hotel I've stayed in Greece! The pool is really nice and the restaurant also serves very good food. The only disadvantage is that I wish their pool bar serves food as well, then I would stay whole day by the pool. Location is great, right at the one side of the busy platanias street. Also 5 minutes walk to the beach. Staffs are very nice and friendly. Couldn't recommend more of this hotel!

Platanias village hotel offers great amenities Rooms are spread amongst beautiful gardens with ocean view balconies. The staff were very welcoming and helpful to the very last day. The access to the beach resort is an absolute bonus and we thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday Greek dinner in the roof garden with plenty of Cretan delicacies and the usual Cretan hospitality. Would definitely stay again.

We had the fortune to stay in Platanias Village, a separate site to the beach resort, but could easily access the other. The village really feels like one. A small reception with very friendly and helpful staff. And we were taken from there to our room on an electric buggy. They were very helpful in rearranging one of the rooms so that my twin teenagers were able to share one of them, I had a really nice double room to myself. The rooms were kept very clean and tidy every day - even after we slept in a couple of times! The rooms all feel like an apartment, with a small kitchen area and doors that open to the outside rather than being along a corridor. The layout of the village is a design of rambling pathways, some a little on the steep side but lifts are available to each level. All the pathways are beautifully landscaped with flowering plants, thyme and trees.We stayed as B&B guests as we prefer to find local restaurants to eat at (and we found very good ones). So we took advantage of the extensive breakfast buffet, pretty much most things you could hope for - fresh breads, fruit and salads. And if you wanted it the cooked food look okay. Between the two resorts there are several swimming pools to chose from, all with small shops where you can buy drinks, snacks, lilos plasters etc etc. The only thing is that, if you have to buy food from the bar/restaurants, it is quite pricey. And we did venture to the beach and found it too crowded for us. A great and relaxing experience

Hotel is in a great location is very well laid out. would recommend to anyone looking for a little more room than the normal European sized hotel room.

Platanias village resort is one of two "sister" hotels, adjacent to one another, but divided by the coast road. The sister hotel was the Porto Platanias, which is located closer to the beach, however the distance from the sea is marginal, perhaps an additional 3 minute stroll from the village resort. Both hotels complexes are very large, but well appointed. The village resort has one large pool whereas the Porto resort has several smaller ones. Both complexes appear to be relatively new, probably around 10 years old or less, but the feel of the Village hotel is more relaxed as there are plenty of open spaces and "cobbled" walkways whereas the Porto hotel feels somewhat maze like with small piazzas and underpasses throughout If you like spending your holiday on a hotel complex then this may be the place for you as both resorts are well run and offer everything you need - BUT the hotels are set right in the middle of a very commercialised tourist area - and you will see little of the real Crete if you chose to stay at these resorts. It is possible to walk up the mountain to the old village if you wish to do so, (I would recommend this) - but in order to escape the tourist shops, cocktail bars and such, it is necessary to rent a car as the tourist area is extensive. That said the beach was nice, with several beach bars serving good food at reasonable prices. The snorkeling and diving options were worth the money as the sea is beautiful and unspoilt.

Solo 40 year old holidaymaker/Sept 9th to 16th 2017/studio room (up to 3 PAX). Porto Platanias Villiage is a well thought out, recently developed resort, sister to Porto Platanias Beach Resort. Together they have a variety of amenities to suit all clients - gym, spa, pools, shops, restaurants, play areas, car park, etc. The Village had a restaurant that served a buffet style breakfast and lunch. I opted to use the restaurant at the Beach Resort for lunch and stayed at the Village for breakfast as I had booked it for the week. The pool at the village was of decent size, with enough beds for the people during my stay. A medium-sized towel is provided 3 times per week for the sunbeds with a 10EUR deposit. I bought a large towel at the shop to cover more of the bed. The room I had was small; it was ok for one person, but I would've been disappointed if I'd have needed to share. The decor was new and the room cleaned daily. Platanias, as a resort, is a typical holiday resort, with plenty of shops and restaurants. It's 40 minutes from Chania and there are plenty of taxis. The staff at the resort were very helpful and friendly, in particular, Nina and Irini. In all, I'd be very happy to stay there again, though would possibly try the rooms at the Beach Resort.

Too far down to the beach. Dirty pool... All-inclusive food not very impressive. Horrible service at the mini-market where you need to pick up your beach towels. Great rooms, nice and clean.

Nice resort in great condition. Clean, nice breakfast buffet. The frequent AC shut off throughout the day can be annoying. Have to reset manually. No food options on site during day unless you have the all inclusive package.
