The staff is extra nice and responsive. They do anything can can to help the visitor.
The breakfast is NOT buffet style. The host is coming to the gust's table and brings the food. I prefer that I can chose myself without waste of time. Still, the host is nice and helpful.

Very nice, modern, large, comfortable and quiet (even though we were next to the pool) room.
The AC is silent and not aiming directly at the bed: that's very good for me.

The staff is very great! they welcome you in the best way possible! this goes without saying that the location was also great!
Wifi in 1st building can be poor sometimes, but it was not a big issue

We really loved this hotel by the beach. Room was recently renowated and beautiful. Owners were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed creek homemade breakfast and they have very good menu for lunch and dinner aswell. Location is perfect and very central, but still very quiet by the beach.
5.0
The place was beautiful, just like the pictures. The staff was so kind. The location is really great, next to the beach and near a lot of different restaurants. I loved this place.

direct beach access, clean updated rooms, nice welcome gift, friendly staff, centrally located
it was a little difficult finding them and there is another property with the exact same name on the other side of the island 2.5 hours away. make sure you enter the name and address of the hotel into google maps otherwise it will take you to the wrong one!

Staff is excellent, they are nice and always ready to help. Breakfast consisted of various foods and drinks, always fresh orange juice, everything is prepared according to your wishes! Sunbeds are free, they offer beach towels for 2€ per change. Rooms are large, with a small kitchen, balcony and a fridge.
Everything was so clean, just some equipment was old. Toilet flush was so noisy.
5.0
Very helpful staff, great location, just on the seaside. We received a good recommendation for local car rental company which leaves the car just at the hotel. Great place!

not as clean as you wish it to be
4.5
The staff is accommodating and friendly! The accommodation is on a quiet side street right next to the beach. You can find a lot of shops and restaurants in the surrounding. Just a perfect location! I would choose it again.
The wi-fi connection can be better.

Great staff (thank you Cristina, Maria and Lina!!) that made us feel very welcome and at home, next to the beach, good location to go to Chania and the other beautiful beaches
5.0
I loved that it was right on the beach, and also in the middle of Platanias, close to all the restaurants. I reallu enjoyed that it is a very relaxing hotel, we slept with windows opened, it is really silent and peacefull, although it is centrally located. it is just a few steps away from the main street and that makes a great difference. The pool is great - hidden between main building and restaurant, so it benefits from some shade during the hot hours.
They should install nets at the windows to keep mosquitos out.
5.0
This is a small, family hotel with a superb location - located not next to the beach itself.
The service is excellent - the staff is very well prepared, friendly and supportive and always smiling.
The apartment was comfortable and clean.
The restaurant attached to the hotel is also very good.
In fact - there was nothing I didn't like about this hotel - even if there were small flaws, they were compensated by the service, which was of a high standard. I would appreciate it if the WiFi is a little better on my next visit.
The hotel does not have its own parking lot, but there were enough parking spaces on the nearby street.

The staff is just amazing, so friendly and always helpful! The location is beautiful, the pool and the beach are nice and the breakfast is lavish and delicious 👌🏻😊! Special thanks to the staff!!! We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back!
4.5
Location and great staff as well as good service and food. Ticked all the boxes! The prices are fair and the hotel staff go above and beyond - thank you Christina!
the only down side was no pool/beach towels and it’s hard to get a sun bed as people from neighbouring hotels would put their towels down early. The bathroom was basic but functional and clean and the cleaner was a little ah hock. That being said I would happily return tomorrow.
5.0

Thanks to you, we have great memories. Thank you Christina!

The breakfast was excellent -
it has absolutely affected the refunds.
Eon great mix, a little bit of everything. Sweets, fruit, bread - traditional and international.
All the staff was incredibly nice and helpful.
The location of this hotel in Platanias is just perfect, its directly downtown.
The town has a nice amount of shops and supermarkets, but not too many.
And a lot of great restaurants. Everything is just in walking distance.
What is very important to mention if you have a car:
There are parking options close to the hotel on the street.
The hotel writes 'no parking options' but there are still public parking options directly on the street.
We never had problems to find a place to park the car.
Actually, you can't write anything here.
There is nothing that we did not like.
This is very individual:
The pool is located between the buildings and unfortunately not on the beach - that would certainly have been nicer. But for us it did not matter, because we prefer the beach anyway. And the beach was very nice.
The furniture and bathroom of our rooms was older - but it was still in very good condition and all very clean.
Still its good value for the money.
5.0
The room was great and the staff has been the nicest in the world. They really make you feel at home!
Not to mention that the delicious breakfast served in front of the sea was a dream!
I would definitely recommend it :)
5.0
Very nice little hotel! Amazing views to the sea, clean room, excellent breakfast and food in the restaurant. There were always sunbeds available. Service was always good. The renowated superior room was amazing. We normally book four or five stars hotels, but this was everything we needed! Okey, the pool was just average, but actually we did not need that because of the beautiful beach. Good location close to many restaurants.
