Great hotel, in a lovely location. Short taxi to the stunning Chania and within walking distance of some excellent restaurants. Would recommend the walk up the hill to Old Town Platanias for the best food and views. Hotel was clean, modern and the staff were excellent. Always sun beds available at the pool, without any of the putting towels down to reserve beds nonsense.

It would have been nice to have fresh juice at breakfast rather than concentrate out of a machine, but aside from that there was a good selection.

Really lovely hotel. It's part of 3 different types of hotel owned by the same brand. This is the adult only hotel. So quiet, with very clean and has well planned facilities. Breakfast is excellent. Service excellent too. Lovely day and evening bar space for a calm chilled time. The restaurant manager was really lovely (although looked a bit serious at first) and the bar tender (Kasia?) was lovely, made great drinks and was very friendly / professional too. Reception staff always helpful. Gym was nice and we used it daily and pools a not too crowded option (early July). Bus stop to Chania is a 5 minute walk and a 20-25 minute journey so the hotel is well positioned. Also good for nearby car hire and a couple of the island's most famous beaches. Local restaurants are also very good. Plenty of choice with a short walk. Sunsets are stunning!

Overall very good with a few tiny things to improve. But it's quite new so no doubt will improve small points like perhaps sweeping clean and tidying / raking the sand around the hotel's beach loungers. Still clean and nice enough. Just a 10/10 point for an 8/10 thing. The restaurant in the evening is a little quiet with a limited menu. It's nice enough though especially on an arrival day or if weary.

The hotel was perfectly situated off the main road, with access to a nearby direct bus and taxi services, as well as private parking for hotel guests with rental cars. The breakfast buffet was well organised and laid out, with a variety of food options to suit everyone's tastes - the fresh fruit really stood out for its freshness and flavour! All of the staff were so helpful and knowledgeable for any of the queries that we had, and definitely went above and beyond to make us comfortable and content.

Nothing!

We liked the location and the fact that it is an adults only hotel. We appreciated it was quiet. The receptionist was very nice and helpful.

The beach is a dissappontment. Very small with crowded sunbeds and a rocky entrance into the sea. The hotel is not at the 5 star level, it s really a 4 star. The room was on the ground floor and we could not air it properly because the only way to do that was to keep the balcony door open all times and we could practically feel like we are in the patio. Inside the room, in the bathroom there is only one hanger, not anough for the towels used by 2 people.

We had the beach view at the cheapest price we could get, which was really nice but a little small, but very little time should be spent in the room anyway.

My only complaint was they let people walk through their section of the beach that are selling nothing of value, like foot massages, one even started touching me while my eyes were closed, and I saw maybe three try and talk to the same lady in ten minutes, one didn’t really take no for an answer either. This would have been expected at a normal beach , but I spent a rather large sum of money to get a hotel with its section of beach and still got touched by creepy feet people.

We love the place, the great attention to detail you have put in the hotel design and architecture, the fountains with metal structures, and the stylish rooms not very large but decorated with a lot of taste and thought. We love the breakfast area just a few meters away from the spectacular sea. We love fresh and exquisitely cooked food; we love the rich selection of fresh fruits and the taste of the coffee. We love the genuine people we have interacted with, seemingly hand-picked by business leaders with high emotional intelligence and standards. We are in love with the spectacular sea and with the beach which, although tiny is well endowed with more than enough sun beds and umbrellas. And, yeah, did I already mention that we love the sea and the beach? ;) We love how the spectacular rocky beach is hit by the waves splashing around and how the sand is temporarily or permanently overtaken by the sea water. I’ve chosen this place compared with more than 20 places and Porto Platanias Beach Luxury had the best report Quality/Price – having a discount from the Hotel + 15% discount from Booking + free Taxi offer from the airport to the hotel. We have seldom been to the same places before. However, Hotel Porto Platanias Beach Luxury is a place that we will certainly come back to. Special thanks to Dora and Marion for being very patient and helpful in organizing the trips and getting the bus schedule. Many thanks to the maid from room 206. Exceptional service 😊. Breakfast could be compared with Grecotel breakfast style. Many thanks to all the people who organized such a great breakfast The above glowing review is nothing but a candid review coming from one of your enthused guests enjoying their stay to the fullest ;)

I should leave .

It is a beautiful hotel, directly next to the sea. The view from its restaurant is amazing, the sea and beach is amazing too - by the way it is not absolutely sandy, and there are huge waves: if you just want to lay on the coast, its maybe not your best choice, but we loved it. The breakfast was good, we liked it. The rooms are modern and clean, and the crew are kind.

We rented an apartment for 5 people, and for 5 people it was really small, it was not so comfortable. We had to check out early in the morning on our last day, and the recepcionist promised us an early breakfast - but unfortunately, she forgot to tell about it to the restaurant workers, and they did not prepare anything for us, so we could not have a breakfast, and they did not offer us a refund about it...

The hotel was lovely, it felt light and airy and as it was adults only, was quite quiet and peaceful. Our room got upgraded (without us asking) which was really nice - ended up with a room with a private pool and even though it was ground floor and next to the hotel shop, it was very quiet. The pools were good with easy access to the beach and breakfast had a great variety of food.

It would be nice if the staff could offer a little more advice re good restaurants etc

The complex is near a beautiful beach, with shallow waters, sandy, very good for kids. The rooms and all the complex was very clean, there were cleaning ladies all the time everywhere. The breakfast was very good and complex, quality products, the breakfast area is right by the beach, beautiful view, enough space for everybody. There are sunbeds allocated to the the people in the hotel, there is also a beautiful pool but we didn't use it, it has also aquagym program, very good. The parking lot is small, but we managed to park the cars in the area with no difficulty. Staff very helpful and with great care for the tourists.

The only things that bothered was the fact that we had rooms at the last floor and it is very hot there. There is an air conditioner which is very powerful and it is very ok, but at night you can't stay with it opened the full night blowing the air right over the kid's bed so it was a little bit stressful this aspect. We opened the window in the morning to get some fresh air from the outside but there are bugs coming in (a good idea is to have insect protection on the balcony) or at times it came the garbage truck in the morning which made a lot of noise. We had some other friends booked in the ground floor and in their room it was perfect, no air conditioner needed at night. My advice is to ask for a room at 1st floor or ground floor. That's it, the rest is perfect!

Beautiful and modern place! Staff really friendly.

I think I was the only "solo traveller" in the hotel. It was a surprise that dinner wasn't a buffet but A la carte so I needed to wait alone in my table to get the food. If travelling with someone then A la carte would have been a positive surprise. Staff was really friendly and helpful, only minus was that I wasn't ever offered the "best seats" in the restaurant with seaview, I guess because I was traveling alone...
