MRS Chryssana Beach Hotel

MRS Chryssana Beach Hotel ★★★

📍 Chania, Kolimvari

"Just back from Mrs Chrysannas. The hotel was very pretty and spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As we arrived late 1am, there was no-one to meet us, but our key and directions were left at the front door and we checked in fully the next day. The room was spacious, had a good sized balcony with sea view, but was in the shade all day and the room lacked storage for our clothes having just a wardrobe and only enough room in the drawers for underwear, so we lived out of our cases. The pool area was lovely but not so of you have children, as nothing for them except a shallow pool. The pool did not open until 10.30 so if you want an early morning swim you will be disappointed and closed at 7.30 for our 1st week but got earlier and earlier during our stay until it was closing at 6. This hotel advertises as quiet and tranquil and it was, but was lacking in atmosphere and could have done with some Cretan music at the bar and in the background at the restaurant area to remind us of where we were staying! The food. Well it was a bit hit and miss for us. Staying all inclusive we had a buffet for the meals. Breakfast was good with a wide selection of cooked or continental. but the cooked was cold by the time we reached the table with it. Lunch and dinner were uninspiring and we were offered some very fatty pork on at least 4 occasions. There was a lack of vegetables at the evening meal - thank goodness for the greek salad which I ate a lot of! Other reviews mentioned a bbq at the pool area during the day but all we were offered was sandwiches and cake. We ate out several times to get a more greek experience. The area was quiet, the village was small and a bit out of the way but the bus to Chania was frequent and cheap. Loved Chania!. Overall we enjoyed our stay but felt it could have been better"

Minoa Palace Resort

Minoa Palace Resort ★★★★★

📍 ΞΕΝΟΔΟΧ. ΜΙΝΟΑ ΠΑΛΑΣ, Platanias, Platanias

"This is a very large resort, and the stay exceeded my expectations. Firstly, the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean; secondly, the overall environment of the resort is very beautiful, and the facilities are complete. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good when we went, so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor pool; thirdly, the hotel includes two meals, and the food was plentiful and delicious; the staff at the front desk, restaurant, and rooms were all warm and polite; it's very close to the beach, making it a great place for a relaxing vacation. Highly recommended! 👍"

Atlantica Ocean Beach Resort
9.1 (21 reviews)

Atlantica Ocean Beach Resort ★★★★

📍 Village Area A, Maleme

"This is not a 5 star hotel and does not even compete with 4 star Greek ones we have visited. We are 2 families of 8 with kids 8, 15, 18 & 20. We booked 3 rooms and this review is from all of us who thought the same. We know it’s school hols but have never seen a resort this heaving and crowded and we’ve always travelled in school holidays. This is a young family hotel. Would not say suitable for couples. Pros - [ ] Nice large pool - [ ] Great kids pools - [ ] Good water slides - [ ] Aesthetically pleasing looking hotel - [ ] Drinks good - [ ] Great snack bar and ice cream bar - [ ] Can help yourself to drinks at pool bar - [ ] Good aircon in rooms - [ ] Comfy bed - [ ] White party DJ was good but randomly party only lasted an hour - [ ] Great fans at outside eating area Cons - [ ] Beach is stone and not pretty at all - [ ] Lounger situation on the beach not nice and cramped area (they could make it so much nicer) - [ ] Music blaring all day both sides of the pool and both different songs (one coming from bar and one from animation team) - [ ] Do not come here if you want any peace - [ ] Pool towels can only be changed every 3 days which is not good enough for 5 star hotel. Went to change them end of day 3 to be rudely shouted at that we cannot change them as it’s 3 day rule and we’ve only been here a day which was wrong! Eventually was allowed but such rude staff and stupid rule! - [ ] Rooms small - [ ] Hardly any storage, no chest of drawers or units just a wardrobe with not much room - [ ] Bathrooms very cramped and sweaty - [ ] Mirrors steam so you can’t see a thing after shower - [ ] Shower floods bathroom floor (Leak came from under the tray when you turn the shower off, Same in all 3 rooms) - [ ] If tall sitting on toilet is hard as your legs hit sink - [ ] Dirty marks on shower trays - [ ] Towels sometimes not changed even if left wet on floor and sometimes dirty towels left in our shower tray after room cleaned - [ ] Bed sheets and covers not changed once in 7 days - disgusting! - [ ] Mini bar - given a couple of bottles of water on first day, sandwiches as arrived late and 4 cans - never re stocked and leftover sandwiches/plates never taken away for whole 7 days. We asked for more water and about mini bar to be told it’s a mini fridge not a mini bar and no we can’t have any more not even water. To fill bottle up at water stations at dinner but the staff told us we were not allowed too and the water tasted awful! - [ ] Hardly any staff - [ ] Staff barely look at you and smile - [ ] First Greek hotel to not show you to a table at dinner or ever give you coffee at your table at breakfast - [ ] Buffet food not the best and repetitive - cold bolognese, food ran out quick and not replenished quickly none of us enjoyed it. Curry night the food was full of salt! - [ ] Tables/plates not cleared quickly at any meals due to lack of staff - [ ] Dirty floors in and outside at buffet not cleaned - [ ] Never seen a cleaner anywhere in grounds the"

Avra Imperial Hotel
8.9 (59 reviews)

Avra Imperial Hotel ★★★★★

📍 Kolymvari, Kolymvari

"We stayed in a deluxe suite with a pool for 7 days. The room was somewhat run-down and felt quite old, unlike the photos online. Cleanliness was also subpar, likely due to the room's age. For example, there was mold in the grout between the bathroom sink and surrounding tiles, and the floor was cracked and always felt dirty. The sofa was white but very dirty, with faded colors and grime. The room's soundproofing was poor; we could hear conversations from upstairs in the bathroom. Furthermore, although the hotel advertised an all-inclusive package, they were very strict about bottled water and meal times. Each person was only allowed one bottle of water at a time, and it wasn't delivered; we had to get it ourselves from the bar. We were rushed around for meals if it was even slightly late, and the staff became quite rude. We had a small baby traveling with us, and although we requested a crib during booking and reminded the hotel via WhatsApp, there was no crib in the room. We waited over an hour after check-in before an extra crib was provided, disrupting the baby's sleep. In short, our experience with the hotel was subpar; the facilities, cleanliness, and service were not worth it."

Spilia Village Hotel & Villas ★★★★

📍 Kolimvariou, Spilia

"Lovely family break, beautiful island great food and local hospitality. If your staying here I’d recommend hiring a car as it’s very remote and car hire is reasonable We stayed in a one of the villas just up the hill with a private pool it was the perfect choice for us."

Asterion Suites & Spa - Designed for Adults ★★★★★

📍 PEO Kissamou Chanion, Platanias

"We recently returned from an absolutely top-class stay at Asterion Suites & Spa in Chania, and we are already looking forward to returning! From the moment we set foot on the property to our final departure, the warmth and quality of the resort were evident. While the physical setting is lovely, what truly elevates this property to genuine five-star status is its people. A heartfelt thank you to each and every staff member for making our trip so exceptionally memorable. ​Arrival & Accommodations ​Seamless Check-In: After a journey, the last thing you want is a drawn-out check-in process. Arrival here was an absolute breeze—swift, welcoming, and relaxed. ​Immaculate Rooms: Our room was stunning, immaculate, and beautifully decorated with modern touches. ​Effective Climate Control: A huge bonus was the air conditioning system; it was whisper-quiet yet powerful, blowing cold and high whenever needed to keep the room perfectly comfortable. Outstanding Staff & Personalized Hospitality ​The level of service here goes well beyond standard hospitality. Every single team member we encountered was consistently friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to help. ​Main Restaurant Excellence: A massive shoutout to Ray and Van in the main restaurant for their attentive care, bright attitudes, and seamless service during meal times. ​Pool Bar Attention to Detail: Special recognition goes to Antonis at the pool bar for providing some of the best service I've ever experienced. I tended to order the same drinks at various points throughout the day, and after the first couple of times, Antonis had already memorized my preferences. As I walked toward the bar, he was already prepping my drink! That kind of intuitive, thoughtful attention to detail is incredibly rare. ​Guest Relations: Thank you to Katerina for her consummate professionalism and proactive guest relations management. She ensured every aspect of our stay ran smoothly. ​Food, Dining & The Spa ​Buffet Dining: The food was consistently delicious. The all-inclusive buffet is brilliantly curated. Rather than overwhelming guests with mountains of mediocre food that lead to unnecessary wastage, the hotel focuses on top-tier quality, beautiful presentation, and a fantastic balance of fresh, healthy options alongside regular favorites. ​Spa & Wellness: I decided to book a sports massage at the spa to try and address a painful, nagging shoulder issue I'd been dealing with. The therapist did a phenomenal job—by the end of the treatment, the pain was completely gone. Truly therapeutic work! ​Minor Points for Consideration ​To give an honest and balanced picture for future guests, there were a couple of minor areas that could be improved: ​À la Carte Steak: While the main buffet food was superb, our experience at the à la carte restaurant was a bit mixed. The beef steak I ordered was unfortunately quite gristly and fatty, which didn't quite live up to the high standards set by the rest of the culina"

Myrion Beach Resort & Spa - Adults Only ★★★★★

📍 Gerani, Gerani Chanion

"Just returned after 7 nights B&B at this wonderful resort and can’t recommend enough… Travelled with friends as well and we were upgraded complimentary to a swim up room upon check-in - a fantastic start ☺️ All facilities are top class including service in all aspects. Breakfast fantastic as well - high quality and presentation every morning. The resort is located approx 5-8 min from Platanias which easily can be reached via bus stop just outside main entrance (EUR 2 / person each way) or Taxi (EUR 12 each way) One of the last days one of our friends had a medical issue which was handled top professional by the staff and management - THANK YOU once again We will definitely come back and book Myrion Resort next time we choose Chania as destination and can only recommend you to do the same - Don’t hesitate one second ! PS: Sign up to become a member of Myrions customer club - it’s free and gives you a decent discount on rooms - Discount on spa treatments and return transfer to and from Chania Airport."

Villa Rita Apartments A

Villa Rita Apartments A ★★★

📍 Tavronitis, Platanias

"First time we booked directly a vacation address instead of using tour operations. What a great decision it was. Ideally situated a few minutes way from the beach and 10 walk from the town centre, a bus stop and supermarkets. The location has one of the best(not crowded) swimming pools we came across last 15 years not mention the beautiful garden. Some rooms have a sea view and are recommended to book at an additional cost and are absolutely worth these extra costs. Close to tourism and at the same far away from it when you want to keep away from it, this is a ideal spot to find your perfect vacation."

"It was my first time staying in an all-inclusive hotel. The hotel was modern and well decorated. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The restaurant was open at almost any time and there were basically no restrictions. The kids loved the water slide. Although it was not big, there were not many people and they could enjoy it. Unfortunately, the temperature was relatively low in early May and there was a strong wind. Although the outdoor swimming pool was beautiful, it was not very swimmable."

Everyone was very kind and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the first moment. A special thank you to the lovely lady who organizes activities for the children. Her smile, kindness, patience, and energy made the kids so happy. She truly knows how to make children feel special and enjoy every moment. ❤️ It was a perfect day full of relaxation, fun, and beautiful memories. Congratulations to the whole team for the excellent work. We will definitely visit again! ☀️🌴"

"The hotel has a wonderful location with beautifully maintained grounds and a lovely large pool with sun loungers. Our room was quite large and located on the beachfront, right in front of the beach. Everything was clean and beautiful. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We were a little unlucky with the weather, but that's a minor detail; we'll be happy to return in the future ☺️"

Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa Hotels in Platanias

Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa

"We had booked a two-week stay in a standard one-room apartment and were assigned room 1152. We got almost no sleep the first two nights due to noise from a pool pump. After complaining repeatedly to both the hotel and Apollo—neither of whom was particularly accommodating or responsive to our grievance—we were offered what they claimed was the only available room. They couldn't provide an apartment, only a double room (1253) located below street level, just five meters from the sidewalk on the main road in Platanias. This room could best be described as a basement unit; it had small windows and a terrace exposed to so much traffic and street noise that one had absolutely no desire to spend time there. At check-in, you are required to pay a tourist tax equivalent to that of a 5-star hotel. The hotel is well-situated near the beach. Yes, there are fitness and spa/wellness facilities, and undoubtedly some nice rooms as well. However, many rooms clearly reflect a priority on maximizing space utilization; consequently, there are numerous units—tucked under staircases or into awkward corners—that are likely worse than what you would find in a 2-star hotel."

The housekeeping team work incredibly hard and always do an amazing job. The welcome you receive from Efe and her family is second to none. They are genuinely the kindest, warmest, and most welcoming hosts, making you feel like part of the family from the moment you arrive. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Coming back for a third time has only confirmed what a truly special place Esthisis Suites is. It truly feels like a home away from home, and we already can’t wait to return again. Thank you, Efe and your wonderful family, for another unforgettable holiday. See you again soon! With love, Richard, Michelle, Joseph & Rosie"

MRS Chryssana Beach Hotel ★★★
"After a delay due to the air traffic control problem, we finally arrived at 3am to the Mrs Chryssana hotel and were left in darkness at the bottom of the walkway to the hotel reception, to find it closed and our keys in an envelope taped to the reception door, so not the welcome we were expecting. On finding our room (105 on the first floor) we unpacked and read through the welcome note from the hotel telling us there were some snacks in the fridge as we had missed the evening meal (we had chosen half board). So as we were famished by that time we looked in the fridge and could not believe what we had been given..a large plate consisting of what had clearly been on the dinner menu that night, cold inedible chips, lamb chop, chicken wings, some sort of cubed meat in a sauce that had gone rock hard and fish that was unidentifiable, all stone cold and inedible. what a disappointment, note to the chef, some bread, ham, cheese and olives would have been better appreciated. Room 105 is directly above the downstairs refrigeration generator, the noise was horrendous so we did not get much sleep on our first night(we booked 14 nights) and requested a room change the next morning, which was sorted within the hour, along to room 103, what a difference! Thank you so much to the lovely lady on reception for arranging so quickly, So, Pros: Lovely location for a relaxing holiday, beach just across the road at the end of the hotel walkway, pebbly but we knew that before we chose the hotel. Rooms kept really clean, thank you to the super cleaning staff and a comfortable bed with good pillows Pool area very nice, clean and tidy, plenty of sun beds and parasols and towels provided Staff are friendly and helpful Breakfast is buffet style, varied and freshly cooked hot food as well as the usual continental breakfast items and local Cretan options Lots of different flavour tea to choose from, hot water and coffee is from a machine, fruit juices (not fresh but from powder concentrate so a bit watery but ok) Cons: Dinner in the evening was in the same dining room as breakfast but no effort to make the atmosphere even a tiny bit more sophisticated, (this is an adult only hotel) same disposable paper place mats as at breakfast, either very low or mostly no background music at all, most of the glasses were chipped and no nice lighting , even an LED candle on the table would have been nice Only 2 choices of red and white wine and 1 rose Food was unimaginative, even for a self service buffet it wasn’t presented well, not even any garnish Please take the fish fingers off the menu, we are grown-ups Desserts are clearly frozen and thawed which is fine, but please pimp them up a bit with some decoration, a bit of imagination needed After the first 2 nights there didn’t seem to be any lobby bar service in the evening while we were there Subsequently due to all of this we ended up eating out at the local restaurants in Kolymbari and one lovely sunset evening in Chania (Michali"

"Absolutely top-notch staff service! The dining was also superb, and the views were incredibly stunning. The only issue was that the elevator in the lobby frequently malfunctioned, getting stuck and not opening its doors unless someone pressed the button from the outside. As for hardware, the power outlets on the walls in the room were a bit loose. Other hardware was fine."

"The pool area is so lovely, with citrus trees and other beautiful foliage against a backdrop of the pink stone buildings of the hotel. We booked a family room made up of two interconnecting bedrooms. Ours was non- renovated and bathrooms probably show their age a little but we really liked it; high ceilings, grand wooden doors and shutters, along with stone borders to the windows and doors. Lots of character and it was great value. We’d stay here again for the pool courtyard alone — it’s very well done."

Myrion Beach Resort & Spa - Adults Only ★★★★★
"The welcome was really well organised and very friendly. They give you a little tour when you arrive and take you to your room, which is a nice touch and helps you settle in. The hotel is quite remote, but there are a few small shops and neighbouring restaurants close by that get you through. It’s good if you want to properly switch off — it kind of forces you to relax because there isn’t loads going on. A taxi to Platanias was €12, which was worth it for a change of scenery. We also went into Chania Old Town one evening, which cost €28 each way and was definitely worth it — lovely atmosphere, good food, and nice to have a wander somewhere busier. You can’t really walk to Platanias unless you’re happy with long country lanes, so taxis are needed. We walked the opposite way one day, which turns into a seafront path after about 20–25 minutes and has a few quiet restaurants and hotels. The lane outside the hotel gets quite dark at night, so take a phone torch. The food and drinks were probably the biggest let-down and stop it being a true 5-star. Breakfast – very limited hot food, and most of it just warm unless you have an omelette cooked fresh. Service could be hit and miss — a few times we had to chase coffee, and one morning they completely forgot us while we waited for a table. We ended up skipping breakfast a few days because it didn’t feel worth the effort. Lunch – also very limited, mostly salads and a couple of other options, so we went out most days. I love a dessert and very limited options with that too. We were only B&B thankfully, as other guests said the evening buffet was cold. The little restaurant Bossa Nova just down the road saved us — lovely food and great service. We went back a few times. You can order food and drinks to your sunbed which is a nice idea, but again, it’s the same small menu. Even things like smoothies don’t exist, so if you’re not drinking alcohol there isn’t much choice. We would have happily spent more money at lunch if there was a better range. Cocktails were normal hotel prices but nothing special, probably premixed. The pool is big and you don’t need to rush for sunbeds which are also really comfy. The towel lady is great fun. There was a DJ on Sunday which lifted the mood a bit — otherwise, it’s very quiet and everyone tends to keep to themselves. That’s good if you want peace, but it was nice to have a bit of music now and then. Evening entertainment exists but it’s extremely low key. We popped our heads in a few times but didn’t stay. The beach is right in front of the hotel and super convenient, though it could do with a bit of a tidy-up. Still, it’s easy to get to and we used it quite a bit. We had a pool-view room, which I’d definitely recommend — otherwise, you’ll be looking out at the car park. The left-hand side gets the sun in the morning, the right-hand side in the afternoon, if you like to follow the sun. The room was small with limited space to put things, but housekeeping was go"

"Fantastic time from start to finish! We recently stayed for 2 weeks and we were over the moon with our stay! The weather was great and the food was also just as good! Plenty of themed nights in the main restaurant and the Italian restaurant located pool side is also worth a visit! We had a great room (family suite) which was very spacious, clean and was perfect for our stay as a family of 4. Comfortable, well placed and super quiet. Our daughter’s birthday was during the first week we were there. The hotel was amazing and arranged a cake for the day of her birthday. It was delivered to our room initially and then brought to us at the main restaurant. This was presented by Maria (who was fantastic in getting this from our room to our table) and her team during dinner where they sang happy birthday. It was a priceless memory and one we won’t forget. All the staff in the restaurant were so friendly throughout our stay. Another member of staff I would like to highlight is Gianis who worked in the pool bar during our stay. He was super friendly, engaging and we had great chats each day about our passion for basketball. The real highlight for us was the amazing animation team lead by Matt who was fantastic! Supported by GG, Lucas, Michael, Tess who are just some of the team. They are all super engaging, friendly and passionate and great at what they do. From Aqua Zumba, Daily darts, water polo and the great evening entertainment. It made for a fun, enjoyable holiday. I can’t speak highly enough of them all and everyone else I have mentioned. They all work incredibly hard and are a real credit to the hotel. If you question whether you want to come here or not, I have no problem in recommending this place!"
