Very comfortable&clean. The staff were super helpful and friendly. Thank you!

This is an absolutely stunning hotel. Very big and comfortable rooms, comfortable beds, top quality toiletries provided, and an enormous attention to detail which didn’t go unnoticed. Staff members were brilliant and the whole hotel is designed in a way to encourage reflection, calmness, and relaxation. We also enjoyed the ambient music playing in the balconies and corridors, great addition to the concept. Breakfast is upon request but it was amazing; served in our balcony and definitely worth it.

Location was great for us, just keep in mind is a 10 min walk to the centre of the village and the beach.

Amazingly well decorated room with direct access to private sunbeds and to a stunning lux-styled pool. Attention to details and personal attentions from the staff make the stay memorable. Short walkable distance to near shore.

Super nice staff, helped us with everything. The two girls managing the reception, were exceptional. Also, entering the reception, the smell was good. The rooms to our surprise were by far exceeding the expectations and much better than some other hotels around the island claiming 5 stars. We stayed in other hotels areound the island but this one is the one we remember. Also, the food we’ve ordered for lunch was pretty good. Usually I don’t write reviews but the service and staff and amenities deserve a review. Well done !

The beach close by is very touristy and in very contrast to the beautiful hotel. Hence I recommend to go to the mountains to eat some local food. I wish Amente was in a better location as it deserves more visibility!

Amazing place - perfectly aesthetic, clean, attention to details in every way possible. You wake up every day to a fresh, homemade breakfast served directly on your terrace by the pool while soft jazz music is playing in the background. Owners are very kind and you could see they enjoy running the hotel and know how to do it - they also treated us with small local delicacies and a complimentary bottle of wine. We really wish we will have the chance to come back again.

Nothing

The place is beautiful and clean, the rooms are really big and comfortable and we had the most amazing time! We stayed in the room above the pool so it was quiet and more private, but the whole place was absolutley quiet and serene. The owners were the nicest and loveliest ever, and shared reccomandations with us that were all amazing, and they were SO helpful with everything at any time. We were dying to stay longer! Couldn't reccomend it more! Everything was perfect, delicious breakfast, perfect facilities, perfect location (for both driving and walking).

We’ve been here for 7 days now and are very sad that we’re leaving tomorrow morning! The location is perfect (only 15min walk to town), the ‘Highway’ is 2 min away, there is 1 big super market next door and the area is suuuuper quiet. You only hear crickets at night and verrrry softly the live music from town which you only hear a little bit from the balcony if you listen closely. The staff, Chara in general is very friendly and helpful and warm. The breakfast possibilities are endless. They also have a Google maps full of food and beach and leisure activities so you don’t even have to think twice about what you can do in the area. The rooms are clean, spacious, romantic, modern and beautiful! Also the cleaning staff doesn’t come till after 12 so even if you want to sleep in, you don’t even have to put the ‘do not disturb sign’ on. Overall a 10 out of 10. Make sure you have a car so you can explore the island, but coming here feels like a home away from home! Will deffff come back here again when we ever choose Crete again! Thanks for the amazing hospitality !!!!

A beautiful hotel with stylish, comfortable rooms - many thoughtful touches - lovely fluffy towels, lovely breakfasts and fabulous pool. The sisters who run the hotel are utterly charming and attentive - very helpful and a delight to deal with - they could not be nicer.

A little close to a busy-ish road but it didn’t spoil our stay.

Everything. This is the perfect place to stay in Palakias. It is designed beautifully, the room is so pretty (and huge in size). The hotel is running by 2 amazing sisters which are willing to help in everything and make the guest feel great. The pool is nice after a long day at the beach. There are breakfasts to the room (that unfortunately we didn't have a chance to try) and really the best value for money you could ask for.

Not a bad thing but note that the beach isn't walk distance but around 5 minutes drive (it was OK for us)

So so lucky to have been one of the first guests at Amente. We stayed for a week and it became our home while exploring the island. - as beautiful as the pictures, perfectly clean, peaceful, great breakfast, loved the shower, well isolated rooms, parking available, beautiful pool (though a little cold), subtle music throughout the day, great lightning, mirrors and curtains. - big and small acts of kindness from our hosts - did their best to welcome us a little early, extra coffee and food at breakfast, and just always authentically kind and smiling - we weren't familiar with the surroundings but Chara gave us the best recommendations and we fell in love with it. Believe it or not, the Plakias beach became our favorite beach on the island, especially at sunset
