Great location right by the beach and just west of Chania; super pools - a big one and one for babies; nice apartments incl balconies. Outstanding friendly and helpful staff. Restaurants and shops just a few min walk on the Main Street and easy connections to airport and Chania city.
The restaurant was mainly closed in the evenings, but there is plenty around so it wasn’t a big issue.

Pool and beach steps away. Very quiet at any time. Cretan Breakfast is fresh and delicious, served in front of the sea and good choices for children. Our ground floor flat was quite cool and we could see the sea from both terrasse (one sun, one shadow) but we did not really do that. The hotel is in a perpendicular of an animated street full of restaurants and games for kids for great evenings.
Nothing, we would come back here if we were back in the

Everything was great about our stay at Blue Dome. The rooms were very spacious, large balconies, the view was amazing, and the hotel itself is cleverly designed so you have a view of the sea from every room.
The food in their Basil Honey restaurant is simply delicious and the breakfast that we had included was just amazing. We couldn't wait to wake up in the morning and rush to the restaurant.
A few steps down from the cristal clear pools is the beach and you can jump into the waves in no time. This was something that was priority on our list.
We went there with our 5 month old daughter thinking it will be difficult, but everything went smoothly. All the staff is super friendly, helpful with every question or request!
Would definitely recomend!! And we look forward to going back!

Perfect location. Nice and quiet. Friendly staff. Close to everything we needed.
Drinks prices were a little on the high side. €10 for a cocktail when the same can be found in a close bar for €6. People seemed to reserve sun beds with their towels. The itinerary mentioned that this is not allowed and that towels will be removed. This was not the case causing guests to be without a place to lay in the afternoon due to reservations. We didn't have this problem however it had been observed.

A great place to stay in Platanias. Enjoying breakfast right next to the sea. From the pool you got a great view to the sea and still got your privacy from the beach. The great service team made the best out of our stay!
Bad WLAN in our apartment.

Location and the private beach right next , cool pool, balconies to the sea, very nice staff, very clean
Direct sun in the morning on the breakfast tables can be a bit comfortable
3.5 / 5.0
The breakfast was expertly served by one very thoughtful and attentive waitress (Gina). The bar was well managed by another good member of staff (Georgia). The owner's daughter gave us some nice recommendations for restaurants in the area (the Olive tree in Platanias and Castro in Paleohora in particular). The beach was beautiful and the view from our apartment was lovely. The town is based along the high street so there is no obvious centre and the road is fairly busy.
Unfortunately it seemed often that the staff could have done with more back-up as more support was needed to cope with the number of guests. It was a pity that the pool (which, while lovely and with an amazing view of the beach and does look bigger in the photos) was often dominated by one large omnipresent family accompanied by some pretty large inflatable toys plus balls and games. Young daughter of family would typically arrive at 8h50 each morning and would rearrange and reserve sun beds closest to the pool for family for the rest of the day. Unfortunately we were ushered out of the pool almost as soon as they vacated it by members of the owners family who live on site since hours of use were strongly policed (between 9am and 9pm) meaning that despite only wanting to go for a brief quiet swim we rarely got to use it. The accommodation itself was functional but not fancy - a little basic, faded and dated, to be honest. However, the beds were comfortable, the shower was good and the housekeeping staff were pleasant and came regularly to help clean. It would have been nice if guests were not charged for using the sun loungers (belonging to the hotel) on the beach. We would probably always have covered the required bar tab to enable free use but it makes you feel less like a valued guest to be charged this extra fee when already paying a considerable amount for a week's stay. We were only informed on arrival by the owner that there would be no restaurant service in the evening which was a pity as we had been hoping to benefit from having the restaurant on site and its views of the beach as shown on the website for at least a couple of nights.

The hotel is located right next to the beach, that`s great. The location, also the beach, were very clean.
You order breakfast from a menu. It was delicious, and Gina, the girl who is serving breakfast and is working in the bar, is very nice and she did an extraordinary service. Because of ordering from the menu you should bring some more time.
We could do a later check out, that was helpful. The staff is very friendly.
The wifi was nearly not working in the room, only on the balcony.
