Alianthos Beach Hotel
8.6 (39 reviews)

Alianthos Beach Hotel ★★★

📍 Main street, Myrthianos Plakias

"We have visited this hotel several times, staying from July 3rd to 5th, then returning on July 18th. They told us we weren't on their arrival list, so they sent us to an apartment outside the hotel without a lift, then moved us to the 2nd floor in a room with a city view. Manin tespys, you could only see a wall. The air conditioning didn't work well, the door handle was broken, and you had to jump to get into the shower. In short, a disaster. Compliments to the friendly and helpful staff, and to the restaurant, which was good and well-priced, with a decent breakfast. However, I don't know if we would return. A bit of a disappointment."

Alianthos Estate Resort - ex Alianthos Garden
9.4 (68 reviews)

Alianthos Estate Resort - ex Alianthos Garden ★★★

📍 Myrthianos, Myrthianos Plakias

"Alianthos Estate surprised us with its remarkable attention to detail. Since the renovation, it has become an excellent place to spend a relaxing holiday. The newly renovated bedrooms feature charming, neutral tones that create a peaceful atmosphere. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. Both breakfast and dinner offer a wide variety of choices, and we highly recommend opting for the half-board package. One evening, dinner was accompanied by live Greek music, creating a lively atmosphere. Guests also have access to a beach club just a few minutes from the hotel. Parking available for guests travelling by car and two supermarkets are less than one minute away on foot."

Kalypso Cretan Village Resort & Spa
6.9 (39 reviews)

Kalypso Cretan Village Resort & Spa ★★★★

📍 Akti Karavos, Myrthianos Plakias, Foinikas

"Location is pretty but remote and secluded, Rock hill terrain has disadvantages for people with health issues and limited mobility for sure. As it is a bay and area is a wind swirling pocket it’s either very windy or heavy and hot with moisture. Rooms are ok, bathrooms seem to need renovations. Outside spaces are poorly lit at night with plenty of lights not working and seem dirty and not very well maintained. I concluded that the property is advertised as being better than it actually is. Staff shortages and technical problems we have experienced during our stay made us regret staying here. Buffet food was not satisfying at all. Except that there is nothing to eat except dry old sandwiches and toast or a burger at beach bar. There is one shop that has basic things and it opens for few hours morning and evening. For two days there was some problem with sewage and the whole place smelled terribly. If you want to go out and eat or buy something you need to get into a car and drive 10 minutes. We also have been charged for sunbeds 20 euro on the rock/beach/cove which was dirty, sunbeds were dirty and old. Also cell reception is terrible for all carriers and for two days the hotel internet was not working. Tourist profile is low to mid range all inclusive style. Most of the trash is thrown around by guests. It is pet friendly which is a great plus."

Kymani Boutique Hotel & Suites
9.7 (37 reviews)

Kymani Boutique Hotel & Suites ★★★

📍 Festou, Myrthianos Plakias

"Great place to stay, nice and very clean rooms; everything you need is provided. Housekeeping team cleans the room every day. Swimming pool is beautifull and plenty of sun loungers are available. Plakias is on walking distance with a big variety of restaurants. The Kymani team is amazing, very friendly and helpfull for all your needs. The breakfast formula is so good! This is a recommendation for all travellers visiting South Crete."

Hapimag Resort Damnoni
9.6 (42 reviews)

Hapimag Resort Damnoni ★★★★

📍 Rethymnou, Myrthianos, Foinikas

"Just got home from Damnoni. For the 2nd time we stayed at Hapimag (we are members). Amazing. We love it here. Pool with beach access is fantastic. The staff in reception, restaurants and all support staff are so lovely and helpful. They speak a range of languages and are always happy to help. They try to remember names and offer a personalized service. Rooms are good but probably need a renovation. Mattresses and pillows were the most memorable in a bad way. Appartments were clean. and well stocked with all the stuff you need for cooking a basic meal. I'll be back here."

Creta Mare Hotel

Creta Mare Hotel ★★

📍 Main Street, Plakias

"Amazing place - very nice room, beautiful sea view, highly recommended 😎"

Myrtis Spa Hotel
7.8 (256 reviews)

Myrtis Spa Hotel ★★★

📍 1821 1821, Myrthianos, Myrthianos Plakias

"We have been going to Plakias for 30 years and this has to be the worst room we have ever had. The hotel is very tired, bathroom was tiny and the shower was minute. The bedroom was adequate but dated. There was a fridge which ran all night and sounded like a jet plane. The view from our balcony was a refrigerator graveyard. 2 hotels shared the breakfast room so sometimes couldn't get a table. After complaining reception staff showed us another room but told us we would have to pay 15 euros a night extra. Also no hand rail on the spiral marble staircase. Overall not the best holiday experience."

Plakias Resorts
9.1 (227 reviews)

Plakias Resorts ★★★★

📍 Paligremos Plakias, Myrthianos, Myrthianos Plakias

"The attendant at the frontdesk was kind and helpful as we made reservations by phone, and during our stay. The apartment with 2 separate bedrooms was very nice and clean. It is a big resort, so a guide showed us the way to it. It was good equipped with kitchen stuff, so it was easy to have some breakfast ourselves."

"Thank you for making our stay so wonderful. A special thanks to Olga- not that I think I can thank you enough, Olga. Hospitality was absolutely outstanding. The apartment was brand new, clean, very comfortable, and very well-equipped. The location was great; it was in a quiet area and easy to reach local restaurants, supermarkets, and bakeries. We stayed in 4 hotels during our stay in Crete, and this was the best one! Just be mindful that Plakias can be windy if you enjoy swimming in calm waters. I would recommend this and I am so pleased we booked this hotel. Thank you!"

Mythos Apartments Hotels in Foinikas

Mythos Apartments

"A good option for its proximity to the beach, but to be avoided due to the lack of comfort in the uncomfortable and noisy accommodations. The outdoor green spaces are well-maintained, but inside there are several amenities in need of replacement: refrigerator, shower, very dim lighting, and missing light bulbs. Extremely uncomfortable and hard mattresses, rickety metal chairs and tables, much to the delight of those staying in the apartment below! Mrs. Evangelia is unsuitable for management, being cold and at times rude. With a fake smile, she ignores the guest's needs and justifies the shortcomings by claiming they are public housing."

Plakias Bay Hotel Hotels in Foinikas

Plakias Bay Hotel

"This beautiful hotel sits at the end of Plakias Bay, Rethymnou-Agias, overlooking the resort and sweeping beach. The rooms are airy and modern with comfy beds, air con, excellent bathroom and balcony. Set in the hillside it is quiet apart from the cicadas! It is a short walk to the beach, which sweeps around the resort to the right (turn left for the clothes option one) Umbrella and two loungers are €10 for the day regardless of time of arrival.the sea is crystal clear and good for swimming. The hotel has an excellent restaurant serving breakfast of traditional yogurt, fruit with bread and a selection of hot dishes included in your booking. The dining terrace has lovely views across the bay avd amazing sunsets! We found this hotel on our tour of Crete and liked the look of it so much that we decided to spend all of our three free days here as they had availability. Really good decision as the evening meal was superb with lots of choice on the menu and great service. Menu priced €15-20, great value and excellent quantity. We love it so much that we are going to come back!"

Cyano Hotel Hotels in Foinikas

Cyano Hotel

"We had a great stay at this hotel. The suite was large and bright (looked just like the photos), and the staff very lovely and helpful. It is well located in the center of the town one row back from the beach. The breakfast was also very good with a varied spread. While there are many beaches nearby, we found that we did use the pool and loungers at least once to relax in the time before arriving back from the day's activites and going out to dinner."

Mirthea Suites Hotels in Foinikas

Mirthea Suites

"What a fabulous place to stay! Gorgeous suites, up in the hills of Myrthios with fabulous views of the sea. The apartment was spotless - beautiful and incredibly well-equipped. The bottle of wine, the olives and the biscuits, left for us, was a lovely touch. The pool was lovely, as was the surrounding patio - with huge mountains and the sea in perfect view! Absolutely stunning - I would thoroughly recommend! It might be worth adding that the road up to the suites is steep and narrow in places - a small, automatic car (and confident driving skills!) would be my advice!"

Anthos Apartments Hotels in Foinikas

Anthos Apartments

"We stayed at Anthos Apartments (same owner and reception as Alianthos hotels) and our experience was extremely negative. The apartment we were first given looked nothing like the photos we were shown when booking. It was in bad condition, at the back of the property facing the parking lot. After complaints, we were moved to another unit, supposedly an “upgrade,” but again we faced very serious problems: - Cockroaches found several times (in the kitchen where our children’s beds were placed, in the bathroom, and even outside the door). - The air conditioning unit was leaking water onto our belongings inside the room. - The baby cot was initially given without a mattress. - Missing basic amenities (shampoo, toothbrush cup, towel racks). - My husband had to move beds and the baby cot himself, following instructions from the cleaning staff – completely unacceptable in any hotel. What made the whole situation worse was the attitude of the owner and the manager. Instead of apologizing or helping, they responded with denial, irony, and tried to shift the blame onto us. Their written responses were dismissive, inaccurate, and showed no sense of responsibility. In the end, we were forced to leave early and move to another property, losing time, money, and peace of mind. 👉 Do not rely only on the photos or their promises. Ask for written confirmation of the exact room type and amenities before booking. Very poor service and extremely unprofessional behavior from management. Families with children should absolutely avoid this place."

Anna Plakias Apartments Hotels in Foinikas

Anna Plakias Apartments

"Originally staying in Rethymon but hired a car and drove to Plakias early in the day. Beautiful village and gorgeous beaches, so decided to find somewhere to stay over night. Anna Plakias Apartments was a little gem. Huge studio room with excellent facilities, great location and a roof top pool. My only complaint would be that the pool had lots of flies in it and didn't really look clean enough to swim in. It is only April so it might be that the owners weren't prepared for guests wanting to swim yet! We loved it so much, we stayed another night! 100% would return."

Alianthos Beach Hotel ★★★
"First, there is NO swimming pool in this hotel! Dear Trip.com team, you should change this in your description of facilities for this hotel. The photos of the pool in the description are from the big hotel next door. And it is quite a small (!) pool, no way it is a "kingsize" pool. The hotel itself is OK, the restaurant is good, the staff is friendly. But the absence of the pool was a big disappointment for us."

Kymani Boutique Hotel & Suites ★★★
"This beautiful boutique hotel is exactly as pictured - stylish, minimalist, and thoughtfully designed with luxurious touches throughout. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the shower was powerful, and the amenities were high quality with great attention to detail.. One of the highlights was waking up to the blue skies and the view of the swimming pool just outside my room. Having a delicious breakfast delivered to my private terrace each morning felt like a real treat. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, always happy to help and making everything feel effortles, going out of their way to make me feel welcome. The hotel app was also a great feature - I used it often to find excellent restaurant recommendations. The location is perfect, just a short walk to both the sandy beach and the lovely village of Plakias. This was my first trip travelling solo and I would like to say a big thank you to George and the team for making it such a relaxing and memorable stay. I would happily return and highly recommend it to others."

Myrtis Spa Hotel ★★★
"I was actually there in September 2022 and I'm going back again this year. Myrtis is the older, less swanky partner to the hotel next door. The reception staff are lovely, very smart, professional and helpful and they are based next door so Myrtis has a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere. Myrtis is also where the excellent breakfast is served and where the main swimming pool is. The hotel next door has a small pool on the roof. The rooms are a bit dated but clean, airconditioned and adequate. The hotel is close to the main village and the seafront but on a side road and far enough back to be peaceful and quiet."

Plakias Resorts ★★★★
"We are writing this as we wait to be picked up after a fabulous 10 day stay. The resort is built on a hill, our apartment was in the newer part of the resort which is uphill. This might be tricky for guests with mobility issues. We arrived late and were greeted by very friendly and accommodating staff. The complex is architecturally beautiful and the apartment was modern, clean and well equipped for a self catering stay. There are a number of pools, we pretty much had a pool to ourselves most days, the resort didn’t feel busy. It’s a quiet place, there is no entertainment but we made our own fun. There are so many restaurants a short walk along the beach, all of them serving wonderful Greek food. The hotel beach bar was perfect for a cocktail before heading out for dinner. There is a supermarket and bakery within a 5min walk, we had breakfast and lunch on our very spacious deck which overlooked the pool and had a sea and Mountain View. A stunning place to stay, it felt off the beaten track, don’t let the longer transfer time put you off coming here. We hired a car and explored surrounding areas and attractions for a few days too. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating. We loved our holiday here!"

Sea View Luxury Apartments ★★★★
"Everything was better than expected. spacious apartments, there are everything necessary and even more. A dishwasher and washing machine, lots of dishes. The air conditioner worked perfectly, even sometimes turned off, although we like to sleep in the cold. Own parking. Clining every day, not even expected, usually, it is not in the apartments. The fascinating view from the terrace on the sea. To the nearest beach 5min walking, a lot of shops, restaurants, 3 supermarkets. At the harbour excellent sea walks, took the boat for rent, possible booking without a license."
