5 star hotels in Kato Daratso

We have just spent a week at the hotel, but did not think it lived up to the 5 stars they have. The hotel itself is centrally located in Platanias, and close to bus stops, they have several pools and direct access to the beach. The food at the hotel is quite good and varied, there was always something to eat. Lovely cakes, ice cream and fruit for dessert. Good rooms with efficient cleaning, the area...

Large resort hotel in Platanias village right next to the beach. The hotel is spread over a huge area, with many room types to choose from in several buildings. There are several smaller and larger pools between the buildings, which are not heated. Unfortunately, hotel guests "reserve" the sunbeds in the morning, so it often happened that although there was no one in the pools and around them, we still...

We were moved from the village resort to the beach resort due to being under subscribed at the end of the season. We were worried as we booked there for the water park but on jet 2 looking into it they were keeping the park open with the rest of the resort shutting. Fine print though states both resorts have to pay extra for the water park at €15 per person. We did use it one day and as the resort...

We came back for a second year with our 2 boys and loved our stay yet again. We were given a free upgrade to a superior family mezzanine room which was a fab start to the stay. Our balconies overlooked the harbour, our favourite pool and the mountains behind. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, as it was last year, the pools were always accessible and never overcrowded and the safety of the resort...

We had the most wonderful vacation in years! The hotel is spotless and well-organized, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome. Our room was cleaned daily and fresh towels were provided every day. The food was excellent – delicious, varied, and plentiful. Even though the hotel had many guests, the restaurant never felt crowded and the service from the waiters was consistently...

Extremely well managed hotel with friendly accommodating staff. Beautiful surroundings, excellent value for money.

The staff were absolutely amazing. Very accomodating and personable. I would tecpmmend this hotel!!

Phone and mini bar fridge did not work. Dated and some stairwells were locked. The 1 and only hot tub is tiny and over run with kids.

Good overall, well managed but has some are Good overall. We stayed in an imperial room on the beach side of the hotel. Very good facilities overall, but some of the rooms need to be updated and soundproofed. Management is very good. Great attitude, service, and helped to solve problems. The manager also called us at the end of the day to check if everything was all right. The one thing that was...

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at. They have for sure the nicest staff ever. So accommodating. Great food the breakfast buffet is so so good. Definitely will come back and recommend highly.

I am very satisfied with the service. Ctrip's customer service is also very professional. Thank you very much.

We spent the last night of our weeks holiday at this resort as a treat. The room was very good - very clean. Some excellent perks such as welcome drinks / cocktails and a bottle of wine. The Spa was beautiful- I enjoyed their amazing cool pool and jacuzzi all to myself. Beach and hotel pools good. What let this place down was the very poor quality of food we ordered with room service. I had to send...

Great room overlooking the beach, breakfast was very good, pool area was nice, Sparkling Spa was great. We arrived very late and went to the sister property where we waited half an hour only to learn we were at the wrong place - so be cautious as they have three adjacent properties. Loved the kid-free existence.

We stayed here for only a few nights on our honeymoon and we were very happy with how clean and friendly the staff was! We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to everyone!

Lovely hotel! Brilliant location right on seafront and close to town's restaurants and shops. Staff are so friendly - Pinelopi and Katerina on Reception were extremely kind. Welcome drink on arrival and a voucher for a free drink at the bar also. Pool area is relaxed and there are loungers on beach and round the pool so best of both options. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast really nice and...

Just coming to the end of a wonderful stay at Porto platanias luxury , everything about our stay from start ( unexpected upgrade ) to finish was lovely . Special thank you to Penelopi on reception who went above and beyond even arranging doctors appointment for my so. . Will definitely be back

Friendly and very helpful staff. Our sons shared a room in which the air conditioning was ineffective and it was very b hot. Altho we mentioned it to the staff, nothing was done to rectify the situation.

Just returned from a week at this fabulous hotel . This hotel is amazing the bed one of the comfiest i've ever slept in . The attention to details is second to none and i would 100 percent stay there again . The staff penelope on reception and eddie who worked in the restaurant and bar were lovely and friendly . The location of the hotel is amazing as well as the food we ate one evening in the restaurant...

Beautiful hotel with exceptional service! The staff were always friendly and attentive. Our room was elegant and very clean. Food was wonderful with great variety. Pool clean too and view so beatuful! Thank you!

Amazing view, very nice place! The Hotel has everything for a perfect holiday. Beach access is convenient and staff are wonderful, especially in Italian restaurant. Carbonara was perfect! The rooms are cozy and well kept. We like pool. Great experience overall!

Gaini is the best place to relax .Our room is very clean .The Waterpark is very beautifull and our kids sped a lot of time there .The food was delicious and it has a little of facilities for us.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable and well-maintained, and the atmosphere throughout the property was very pleasant. The bar was a real highlight - great selection of drinks, perfect for relaxing in the evening. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I’d definitely stay here...

Very nice hotel with friendly staff . The room was very clean and comfortable.The food was delicious and the drinks in the bar good!

It's the second time that I visit this hotel and I love it .The hotel is near to center of Hania and it has private beach with sunbeds .The view was fantastic and the food delicious .The rooms was big and very clean .The staff was friendly and helpful with us .

Lovely stay. Most things perfect, the atmosphere, service, breakfast, pool and beach areas. Only minus was the hotel area - there is nothing to do outside the hotel, and also the lunch restaurant had too few options. We ate lunch there every day for a week and had already tried the entire menu after three days.

Beautiful hotel. Unfortunately the sauna and steam room were 20 euros per hour extra. The pool Was too cold to swim in. Hotel staff was great and we got upgraded. The resort and most of the things in the town close up by the end of October and reopen the next year in May. Food was ok but not great.

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...

We went to Myrion with my spouse and my 70-year-old parents for a week vacation. Hotel is very modern, clean and has a beatiful pool area. Hotel also has some very pleasant scent we couldn't figure out where it came from. It was the first thing we noticed when we arrived at the lobby, and the same smell is all over the hotel's inside areas. I don't know how other guests feel about it, but we absolutely...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel from October 8th to 12th. The service was exceptional. Upon our late arrival, we were upgraded to a two-story room and treated to a complimentary Greek salad. We truly appreciated this thoughtful gesture. The hotel itself is stunning, and I couldn’t resist taking pictures of every corner😍 My husband particularly enjoyed the outdoor gym👍🏻 Overall, our stay was...

Had an amazing stay. Rooms were very comfortable and big and big balcony. There are enough beds by the pool even when the hotel was packed. Everything is clean and the food is amazing. Breakfast buffet is perfect with focus on quality and not quantity. There is a little town nearby with all sorts of restaurants and shops. A taxi can take you there for 12 euro. Chania is also just 20 minute drive. I...

The hotel is in a very scenic location, within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The number 21 bus calls directly at the hotel to take you to Chania. The service is regular and good value. The rooms need updating to a degree but are clean and have the facilities you would expect. A refresh would take the hotel to a next level. The staff were all very nice and efficient. The hotel had a lovely...

We didn't use the spa or the bar

You absolutely must book this hotel for the unforgettable panorama and the exceptionally friendly staff, who truly go above and beyond to make your stay fantastic! We stayed in a Panorama Blue room, which also gave us access to the bar and the second swimming pool. We traveled in October, so it was relatively quiet. The breakfast was excellent, and dinner was buffet-style. Not everything was perfect...

A fantastic family holiday. From lovely staff throughout the hotel, who can’t do enough for you, to comfortable rooms. Reception staff were able to answer all questions, provide everything we needed and were able to book a table in a local taverna with a taxi booking to get us there. The restaurant gentleman remembered that we were a table of five, from the first evening we arrived and also that we...

The Front Desk Customer Service was Exceptional! The hotel is clean, has a beautiful viewof the ocean, infinity pools and is located on bus routes that can take you easily to town and beaches. The daily breakfast that was included was amazing as well.

Therikles Group 😎 My stay at Leptos Panorama Hotel was absolutely wonderful! The hotel has a fantastic location with breathtaking panoramic views of the sea – truly a picture-perfect setting. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, with great attention to detail that makes you feel at home from the very first moment. The restaurant offers a rich and varied buffet for breakfast , with fresh and...

The hotel facilities are extremely good and all staff friendly and personable. The buffet food was generally reasonable and the al le carte restaurant excellent. The availability of alcohol free drinks was limited and and would benefit from improving the variety and quality.

We originally chose this hotel because it seemed quiet and relaxing – exactly what we were looking for on our first holiday together (we’re 18 and 19). We were so excited to stay here, but our arrival was really disappointing. We got to the hotel just after midnight, having received an email confirming our booking, only to be told there was a “problem” with our room and we couldn’t stay. The woman...

Our son has a food allergy and there was never any problem. On the contrary, everyone tried to make him happy. Everyone in the hotel is always smiling and nice. The hotel itself is beautiful! And we already miss Aqua.

The most beautiful vacation! The spacious rooms, cleanliness, excellent and varied food, impeccable service, very welcoming staff, location in a quiet area with very nice view to the sea and the mountain. We enjoyed each evening a woderful sunset over the mountain. We also enjoyed many nice surprises from the hosts. It seams to me that they really care about you smiling and enjoying the vacation. Since...

Me and my bestfriend have just spent two weeks at Solimar Aquamarine. We booked a double room with private pool and we loved it! Every summer we book a girls trip and travel for two weeks together. This has to be the two most relaxing weeks we have had. As mentioned we had a room with private pool so we did not use the shared pool area at the hotel, but we did notice that it is not that big. Our stay...

Stayed in a superior suite with private pool & full sea view (room 126) last week of September. Think there are 9 rooms in this category. Our suite was ginormous with huge living area with sofa beds, a separate bedroom with sofa, spacious bathroom including a separate shower room & a separate bath with shower over. Great for families. Bed was huge & super comfy. Lots of storage & surfaces for your...

The hotel is exceptional. It is spacious, relaxing and spotlessly clean. The food is delicious - in particular the breakfasts are outstanding. The hot food is cooked in small batches as required so the fried eggs, fried tomatoes etc are all hot and freshly cooked. The live entertainment at dinner was excellent. Service is exceptional from all staff members. The General Manager, George, and the...

I can't quite believe how many 5 star reviews this place gets, bearing in mind the lack of facilities. This was an expensive holiday, so I think it fair to have expected more, especially as this hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Yes, most of the staff are really lovely, helpful and attentive, but there simply isn't the infrastructure to merit 5 stars. There is just one (very cold) pool, no indoor...

We chose Asterion Suites & Spa to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. It was an exclusive adults only, small hotel and had absolutely everything we needed. From the moment we arrived to the minute we left we were made to feel special. We had a complimentary room upgrade and a bottle of fizz and cake in our room for our anniversary. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and very attentive...

We had a light flight into Charnia and when we arrived at Asterion just after 11PM we were greeted by warm & friendly staff. The staff throughout the our stay were amazing. An example? As we checked in & shown to our room, we learned that as it was late, a meal had been prepared and was waiting for us in our room along with a fruit plate, dessert and a bottle of wine. The Asterion Team anticipated...

Amazing staff, extremely freindly, Always going out of their way to help. Relaxed, unassuming atmosphere. Amazing location, on a nice little beach and yet twenty minutes drive to town. You will need a car or use taxis. Small place which was great for us. Rooms are a little less luxurious than more expensive places but that gave just the right ambience. Excellent breakfast. Lots of options

We have just returned from a very special holiday at Asterion Suites. The staff here are absolutely exceptional & could not do enough for you. Beautifully clean everywhere and amazing rooms. The food was great but could’ve been hotter, which was a bit of a shame as it was presented & cooked beautifully. We were “All Inclusive” & really happy with the drinks, wine etc that was available to us. Perhaps...

Very comfortable hotel in excellent position. Lots of restaurants nearby and bus outside every 15 minutes to Chania. Hotel provided fruit, bottle of wine and biscuits in the room.

From the first welcome there was an excellence about the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, when we went to breakfast we came back to a room made up with fresh towels every day. Breakfast was excellent in quality and choice. The view from room 427 was amazing. The beach is stunning sandy and safe. In the middle of October we spent our days swimming in the sea. We didn’t use the pools due...

We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were spacious, and the beds were really comfortable. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we were well looked after throughout our visit. A special shout-out to Adrian and Haris, two of the bartenders, they were absolutely lovely and made our evenings extra enjoyable. The food was outstanding, the prawns at the Greek restaurant were exceptional! We...

Nice clean room, beautiful pool and grounds, friendly staff, great breakfast. A few restaurants near the hotel but best to drive 15 minutes to a Chania for the best options.

Had a great honeymoon stay at the resort. They treated us well and we had an amazing upgraded room. The hotel is very nice and the all inclusive option is nice. Their drinks are good and the food isn’t bad. Good place to stay even if you don’t do all inclusive since the location and beach is nice. Good food options nearby and obviously in Chania. We didn’t care for the spa, and probably would not recommend...

Hotel is lovely and the staff have been amazing we were breakfast only and all staff we came into contact with have been genuinely friendly and helpful. Would defiantly recommend

We have just booked to come again in 2026 which will be around our 18th holiday to this hotel. We have always loved coming here. The changes that have been made over the last few years are huge. We loved it before but now it’s brought a whole new level. The food is so good. There is so much choice and everyone is catered for in my opinion. The hotel is very clean and tidy. The staff always go...

We’ve just come back from the Atlantica Ocean Beach and had the best holiday. My 2 boys (7&9) loved the kids club and the staff were fantastic. They were excited to go every day and did activities such as go karting, mini golf, treasure hunts and watching films. All the staff around the hotel were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you. The food is very good and better than a lot of 5 star resorts...

Fantastic destination and friendliest staff you could ever wish to meet, from Spiros the manager down everyone of you,you have made us feel at home once again. Myself and my son cannot recommend this hotel highly enough,Thank you all Russ & Michael

We loved this place! We came to visit from Germany with our two kids (ages 5 and 8). The animation team and the activity courses were fantastic — I especially enjoyed the Pilates and the light and refreshing Aqua Fitness sessions. Everything was very clean. We had a room with an ocean view, and the beach was also very clean, beautiful, and not too crowded — we really hope it stays that way because...

5* hotel/holiday. Booked as going to a wedding in Chania but wanted an all inclusive as travelled with my 6 year old. We were about 30 minutes out from Chania Old Town. The hotel is incredible. Very clean, modern and exactly like the photos show. The staff here were great. From the entertainment staff, to the reception staff, chefs, maids, bar staff etc. Each were helpful and friendly. The heart of...

Everything was amazing. The room was perfect , with direct access to the pool. George was fabulous, took care of us throughout our vacation. He prepared a dinner plan for us, each day at a different à la carte restaurant, and the breakfast he ordered was just perfect, breakfast swim to us in the pool, straight to the terrace. Perfect food, perfect entertainment, we really like silence disco ant painting...

Great location, clean room, friendly staff, great breakfast. Special mention to Manuel the restaurant supervisor who was very courteous and helpful. Will stay here again.

Immaculate hotel with large spacious rooms. Lovely balcony with a sea view. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was a’la carte and was delicious. Makes a lovely change from a buffet. Staff were all extremely friendly and always helpful.

The hotel was nice, even though the room was a bit small. The view was beautiful, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was great, and I especially enjoyed the breakfast. I will definitely come back again.

No matter the room size, facilities or hotel service, they are all excellent

This is the worst hotel in Greece from Athens all the way to Heraklion in Crete to Chania. If you were in a three-star hotel for 1,000 a night, I would think you were pretty good, but if you said that you were in a five-star hotel for 2,400 a night, I would find it ridiculous. It was already noon when we arrived in Chania. I was really looking forward to checking into the most expensive hotel on this...

The first thing we did during our stay was a little unpleasant, but our Ctrip butler Jin Lei followed up and solved the problem. Thank you very much! Georgia, the front desk clerk at the hotel, also gave us a lot of help and warm service. This vacation ended successfully. Hilton is a good choice.

Beautiful hotel with excellent location in the heart of old town. Clean and peaceful atmosphere. Nice and helpfull staff. Great breakfast.

Staff was amazing! Breakfast was very good and we really enjoyed the property! We will def be visiting again!!!

Serenissima is simply pure delight. Absolute gorgeousness in the most beautiful ancient city. The Customer service was second to none. This ancient Venetian house has been lovingly converted to the most beautiful hotel, the rooms are decorated to perfection and it feels like your very own private Venetian palace. The staff were truly phenomenal and made our stay in Chania even more special. ...

Great location in the heart of the old town, we were very happy with the large room with mezzanine bedroom and private terrace as well as a smart tv (not that we watched much) was great to connect to for music/news etc in the evenings. Service at the breakfast was always very good as was the food. For the money everything was spot on and would highly recommend this hotel!

Absolutely lovely beautiful room reception area lovely open courtyard for breakfast very central but yet quiet

We stayed at several hotels during our honeymoon in Greece and this was by far our favorite! The rooms are spacious and clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We loved the area as well and the breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend!

Scala de Faro is a small, historic boutique hotel in Chania, Crete. Because it is fairly small and is in a very old building, you will have to walk a flight of stairs to get to the rooms and the small elevator (although there is accommodation for the handicapped). Be aware that it is located in the middle of the main walkway along the port (although the entrance is on the street behind the port)...

This hotel was fabulous! It was one of our best stays during our 2 weeks in Greece. The hotel room we stayed in was HUGE and overlooked the sea/lighthouse, it's in a great location on the harbor and is walking distance from everything! Anita, George and Cristina were SO accommodating, friendly, helpful and just superb hosts. It may prove difficult to get to because of it's location on a narrow, cobblestone...

This place is excellent. The only minor quibbles would be the standard ones these days, namely the bathroom has a glass door which sounded like it was going to break any second, and the bathroom wall is also opaque so that privacy is not exactly 100% and also if you need to visit the bathroom at night, you wake up people trying to sleep. Also the bathroom door was not exactly insulated, so you get...

This was one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. It is perfectly in the center of Chania old town. The staff was so friendly! We were so sad to leave. We will be coming again!!!

Great location with a balcony overlooking the harbour Great atmosphere extremely central Highly recommended

Great location and well maintained hotel with helpful staff.

Words truly cannot describe how much I loved our stay at Monastery Estate Venetian Harbor in Chania. It’s the perfect place to stay right in the heart of Old Town, surrounded by charming shops and incredible food. Our room was spotless and beautifully designed, featuring a cozy bathtub and a lovely private outdoor area with a hot tub, such a relaxing touch. What truly made our experience unforgettable...

Everything about our stay was superb - the room, the service (morning breakfast & room cleaning) and especially the front desk personnel and their very personalized attention to our requests for information, advice and assistance. We would definitely stay at the Monastery Estate Venetian Harbor when visiting Chania again.

The ladies working were extremely helpful, clean room, and very cool property. Great breakfast

Beautiful historic accommodation Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff Very lovely old building. Unfortunately sleek, minimal design lacked any kind of soft chair or furnishing in the room. The air conditioning was controlled at reception. User unfriendly. Despite requesting some warmth we froze. This was particularly bad our first night. The breakfast was good.

Great hotel in old town Chania The hotel was in a great location walking distance to many attractions, restaurants and shops. Though small the hotel was well appointed with an indoor pool, spa services and a great restaurant that served an amazing breakfast. My personal favorite was the Cretan breakfast for 2, the yogurt is the creamiest I've ever had. The room was comfortable and spacious and had...

Excellent location, staff super helpful and friendly. Clean and tidy with twice a day room service. Only down side was TV didn't work for 4 days despite being brought to house keeping attention which minor but not a true 4 / 5 star service. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Lovely room with sea view. Clean and good quality products Great location Helpful and Friendly staff.

This place is amazing to stay at. The views are priceless, the location to everything is convenient, the staff goes above & beyond to make sure you have everything you need and your stay is exceptional. The breakfast they have is great with plenty of options. I'd recommend this place over and over again.

We stayed 4 nights at the Ambassadors Residence in Chania. It is in a great location on the waterfront, and we stayed in a room with a view of the water. The highlight of our stay was the staff. We are sure we interacted with all of the reception staff and they were all warm, welcoming and extremely helpful. Breakfast was at a restaurant around the corner. We had the same server each morning who...

staff did not communicate the difficulties re hotel access due to it being located in a restricted area that doesn't allow car or taxi access. also staff were unhelpful in regards any suggestions for car parking options

A fantastic location in reach of the old town and lots of great dining options. It’s in a pedestrian area but you don’t need a car. Lots to see and do nearby. We booked some trips and found not having to drive added to the relaxing nature of the trip. The room was lovely. Good views of the harbour. Staff on reception were lovely and came up with some good suggestions for dinner. Breakfast was...

We stayed in History! The original stonework was kept when rebuilt. Stayed in the mosaic suite, absolutely stunning, big shower, very comfortable bed ( queen +) Double glazed windows so you don't hear the night life. Restaurant underneath for breakfast which was full breakfast, yoghurt, fruit, pastries, eggs, salmon, everything you could need. Staff friendly & caring, full of helpful local places....
