The hotel is in a great location and has all the amenities necessary for a family holiday. Was disappointing that there was absolutely no guest/ customer service. All inclusive is terrible and confusing along with the processes and systems the hotel has. Such a shame for a property that could be amazing. A let down for our family holiday and won’t return in future.

Nice hotel, near many attractions
We had a nice stay, the room was clean and breakfast plentiful. My only gripe is with the beach -- the dried seaweed should be cleaned out daily.

Good food, nice rooms can be recommended
The food was good and the rooms were nice and the sunbathing facilities were good IF you managed to get a sun bed. There were just little things that could have been better such as, 2 times we had problems with our room key and needed a new one, we had all inclusive and should have beennable to have soup when arriving late, but that wasn’t so. The map of the property is not very discriptive.etc. But all in all, a nice place to stay

I would like to start by saying that I never wrote a bad review in my life. But this is not a 5* star hotel. We were all SO DISAPPOINTED, that we requested our money back so we can go to a different hotel, but it was non refundable.. The pictures online look much better than what it actually is. The furniture and most things in the hotel are very old. You don’t feel like u came to a luxury hotel. The service is not 5 star. U have to ask for basic things that should be included in the room. In addition, you have to put £10 deposit per beach towel. You have to pay for bed/beach umbrella on the beach that is part of the hotel. I would say, that the hotel upgraded our room, which was still not to par what so ever. Overall, if you want to go to a 5 star hotel, and enjoy the room and hotel facilities, this is not the place for you. If you are just looking for a place to sleep and will be out and about most of the day, the place is fine.

Perfect vacation- we love this resort!
We had a fantastic stay! This was our second time at Porto Platanias hotel and spa. The staff were warm and welcoming especially Anastasia. We had a beautiful room with a sea view and private pool which was great for cooling off. We were surprised with lively welcome touches such as wine fresh cut fruit and cakes brought to our room. Dining as we looked out towards Theodorus island was incredible and the dining room staff were attentive and professional, especially Vassily. The food was simply delicious and even better than our previous visit. It's a small miracle I didnt gain 5 kilos! Greek night was a true experience. Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was fine. We had some problem with the air conditioner not cooling but upon complaint the reception promptly sent soneone to fix it. Only drawback was loud noise at night from poolside games like air hocky tables. Had a wonderful massage by George at the spa.

Reception staff are lovely and friendly! The hotel is beautiful and has many sunbeds by the pool so we always had a lovely spot. The hotel is situated on the busy shopping street of Platanias which is great as there were lots of cute boutiques, shops and really great restaurants along the road. There is a huge variety of breakfast foods at Porto Platanias and the restaurants in the hotel is really good value and tastes lovely too! The spa is big but some facilities were not working properly and the manager there was not too helpful. My massage therapist, Sophia, was great!

Dear Guest, Thank you for your preference towards our hotel and for your time posting your review in Expedia. Further to your remarks we would like to mention concerning your reservation that you have probably seen on the site the superior maizonette with the kitchenette inside while your reservation was for simple maizonette. Since we have no other details describing your reservation we can not check it thoroughly although we believe that if you had been in contact with the front office they would have explained for sure and perhaps that is the reason you call our front office ufriendly? We are sorry for the inconvinnience but we tend to believe that you made the wrong reservation from the start. Concerning food most of our customers are very happy about it although we can not dispute or disagree as it is personal taste.We can reassure you though that our food is certified and fresh/ no left overs! We are glad that you anjoyed our beach at least which is indeed wonderful! Nevertheless next time you are coming you can directly contact us and certify that you have it all right!

Conveniently situated and child friendly hotel
Platanias is a bustly, busy tourist haven which also boasts a beautiful long stretch of beaches. Porto Platanias was a great place to stay with two small children. The staff were very attentive, great with the children, polite , helpful and on the two occasions where the children had an exacerbation of their asthma, the staff called the local doctors and were very supportive . The buffets at breakfast and lunch had a really good choice of quality food. We had no issues of tummy upsets and both children ( one a very fussy about eater) ate like they were going to the chair........the hotel is clean and spacious - we opted for a room with a plunge pool but saying that the pools were never that busy. We were close to a pool where the music was being played loud, but the soundproofing of the room meant that daytime naps were not affected by noise levels . Behind the hotel is a beautiful stretch of sandy and shingle beach with relatively shallow waters perfect for the kids - the loungers and umbrellas are free for guests and unlike other places is well controlled with non guests paying ( so quieter than other popular beaches). We hired a car to be able to explore and travel further afield but you have restaurants , bars shops, chemists all locally if you prefer to stay local. I think if it weren't for the excellent hotel staff and the quality of the meals this hotel would be pretty average but these two factors would make me return again to Porto Platanias.

This hotel felt mediocre. The pictures sold us on a different vacation. All in all not bad, we went at the height of European holiday and while the staff was nice enough, the fellow guest were difficult to coexist with. It felt more like a Bermuda knock-off resort, not Greek in anyway. Not a bad stay, but next time I would look for something more authentic.

Ok hotel - for 3 stars!
to be honest I expected a little more for 5 star rating - genuinely in my eyes this is a 3 to a 3.5 star max. Especially when you have to pay extra for everything - including a safe!! The distance from the airport etc should have been made a little more obvious - its not that easy to get to. In my view, it was expensive for what it was. Please be aware that you even have to pay for the beds on the beach every single day you go. Towels you have also hire out. We paid a 2000 for 7 days and I feel it wasn't worth that much. Also the pool - not enough beds as people take them early. Noise - room 101 - at 8 am every morning - lots and lot of noise from the kitchen below.

Dear Amir, First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing our hotel for your summer vacations and for taking your time to post your experience in Porto Platanias. We would like to apologize for all the inconveniences that you mention in your comment. We would like though to inform you the following. Our hotel is located in the heart of Platanias resort which is the most well known resort in the West Crete. Moreover, Crete island is the biggest of Greece and it is reasonable that the distances are not always close. Our hotel has a central location in Platanias and it is only few kilometers away from Hania city center. The airport is around 25 km away. Moreover, the sun beds at the beach have an extra cost for our guests because we rent this area from the municipality of Platanias. The towels for the pool or the beach are provided with a deposit. Also let us mention that our sun beds around our 9 pools are more than 600! We understand though your complaint that some guests disobey our rules that sun beds are not allowed to be reserved but as far as you know we have informative signs all around the pools and our staff remove the towels when noone is present. Last but not least, we wish we knew your inconvenience with the room location during your stay in order to help you and change the room for you. We always remain at your disposal. Kind regards, Angeliki Sgouromalli Guest Relations Mng

Perfect Hotel for Clubbers
Checked in at midnight into a nice suite - until the aircon leaked water all over the bed. Front desk moved us into a room on the main road - about 200 meters from a club that rocked until 6:00am. If you are on the exterior of the property plan your day (and night) accordingly - probably won't be getting much sleep.

Dear Scott, First of all, we would like to thank you for sharing your kind feedback among other travelers of Expedia.com.

Pretty resort but staff needs some training/manner
I wanted to fall in love with the resort since you are paying a premium. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Pools are fine except you can't get a chair unless you are up at 7am or after 4pm. Wifi in most of the resort is terrible! Their hotspot doesn't work well, even in the lobby. Only if you are in the VIP rooms can you find a dependable connection. Very frustrating for an expensive resort. My biggest issue was the staff. Front desk staff was fine and helpful. Lots of people were around to help with baggage and questions. My issue is with the cleaning staff and restaurant staff. As a Greek-American fluent in the language, I was astonished to overhear how some of the staff spoke around guests. Do they assume no one is Greek? Lots of Dutch, Polish, Norwegians, and Italians. I overheard in the hallways from the cleaning staff frustration about people not leaving their rooms so that they could clean them and then also in the restaurant when guests showed up last minute or late to their buffet breakfast. I couldn't believe how bitter and frankly lazy they sounded. Very inappropriate to speak badly of guests that way and assuming no one understands them! You don't even need to know Greek to see their outward frustration. I would happily give my money to a smaller establishment who appreciates me, especially in these hard times for Greece. Disappointed I spent so much money considering staff and wifi problems.

Bad hotel in a cheezy area
This is certainly not a 5 stars hotel. On a rather small land, they tried to squeeze a maximum amount of rooms. Pools are loaded of tourists, you can't find a chair. The cafeteria (not a restaurant) offers a lousy buffet. Even if you paid for the breakfast and the dinner, you have to pay for your water or your soda. No rooms are waterfront. There is a street between the hotel and the beach. And few rooms have a real sea view. We reserved for 6 nights but left after 4, even if we couldn't have a refund for the last nights... Don't go there!

Beach Vacation
We came to Chania and Platanias as the first leg on our honeymoon and I wanted to stay somewhere pretty fancy. This hotel had a 5 star rating and beautiful pictures. And overall, it lived up the booking. The rooms were very clean, the pools and beach were gorgeous, and the food was amazing. Overall we were very happy. Couple things to note, we went in late May and the Mediterranean was still a little too cold to swim in comfortably. Also the indoor pool in the booking is actually part of the spa and is not available unless you pay extra. My only final complaint and bit of advice is that you return your beach towels a day early. We waited until the night before we left and the towel office was closed and we ended up losing our deposit. Not a huge deal but a little unexpected. Overall still a great stay at the beach.
