Spa-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...

Beautiful hotel with amazing staff and vibe- a few issues but well resolved. Our room was beautiful with swim up pool, although we had many ants and were offered a different room- but not with the swim up room we paid for so decided to stay. Dining/restaurant staff were AMAZING especially the waiters, and the head waiter. They made our stay special. The boys working the bar were very friendly. The...

A lovely family friendly hotel ! good food! Very clean! Wonderful staff especially Anna Maria at the Olympic bar ! All in all great !!

We just returned from a week holiday and we had a wonderful time at this hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel. it was great location, sea view room, well organised, friendly staff, clean accommodation, and family friendly environment. Special thanks to Rakesh who was very helpful, kind and professional. I am greatful for his help and I would recomend his services to anyone.

We had a wonderful two weeks here, the staff were very nice and friendly. In the evening at the bar, the barMichalis and Jivka served us delicious drinks. I would recommend this experience to others. :)

Hotel clean and look after inside and outside ver well Big rooms with very comfortable beds Room cleaned every day even without asking Great food, different cusine every day Big rooms with very comfortable beds Hotel clean and look after inside and outside ver well Very friendly staff, from receptionists, bar staff, waiters and waitress, chefs, managers, room cleaners. Everyone ready to help...

“Spotless Hotel with Amazing Staff”? The hotel is spotless and very well looked after, inside and out. Spacious rooms with super comfortable beds, cleaned daily without asking. The food is excellent, with a different cuisine every day, and the staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely week at Aetheras Beach, Dimitris took care of us in an excellent way. Water and wine waited for us in the fridge, he served us with fresh orange juice 🍊🍊🍊 and gave us local raki when he found out that we like that 😄 Beautiful apartment with a very high standard 👍 We can highly recommend this place and we would love to come back!

Wonderful Stay by the Beach! 🏖️ I had a truly lovely experience at this property. The location is unbeatable—right by the beach in a quiet, peaceful, and exceptionally clean area. Everything you need is within walking distance: the Atlas supermarket, bus stop, and other conveniences are just across the street. The host was absolutely fantastic—kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. His hospitality...

Peaceful location on a beautiful sandy beach, just off the busy main road . Agia Marina is a few miles west of Hania with frequent buses. Lots of good local restaurants, the nicest overlooking the sea or a little way up in the hills behind. Dimitri, our very helpful and friendly host, made some useful recommendations. Very clean, comfortable air conditioned accommodation with smart new shower room...

We spent some holidays in a past years in a hotels better and worst and we had some sort of level of everything that we didn’t want go lower. We’ve searched for this year holiday for 6 months because one bad review put us off. But decided to spend this year at Caldera and that was the best decision ever. Starting from reception, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We were offered to leave baggage...

Great resort. We are in one of the ground floor rooms. Would have give an extra star if I had a better view from my patio. Some rooms will have. We went bed and breakfast and the breakfast is great, loads of choices.

Very nice location, with direct access to the beach. We booked an apartment with sea view, with a large terrace, very clean and comfortable. The hotel has its own parking and has plenty of restaurants nearby, beachfront as well as in the main street. The host is very friendly, he offered a lot of valuable suggestions for spending time around the island. We arrived at in the middle of the night and...

Perfect 10/10. Beautiful property and location. The resort was spotless and the staff were cery friendly and courteous! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Room very comfortable, breakfast plentiful with lots of choice. Helpful staff. Good base for travelling around the area. We were there at the end of the season and always found parking ok and loads of sun beds around the pool and on the beach. Beach is nice, shingle rather than sand. Entertainment in the evening very good. Bar prices were reasonable. Local area is no doubt very busy in the high...

Perfect stay all round - great access to beach and quiet area around, staff were lovely and always helpful.

Excellent stay, affordable and clean. Room was comfortable and easy to access. The breakfast bar was a nice treat. Hotel felt geared to older crowd, we are late 30s and were youngest in the pool and breakfast by far. Visited in October so maybe the time of year.

We stayed at Thalassa for 3 nights and had an awesome experience. The resort was really beautiful with multiple restaurants and a beautiful beach. They also plan multiple activities such as having a singer at the hotel bar. The food was also really good with a lot of choices. Our room was really big, Much more than I expected.

Convenient to access town by bus and many walkable great restaurants. Great breakfast. No kids

I booked this hotel myself, not through a travel agency. I read reviews and viewed photos, and I must admit that the hotel looks much better than in the photos, and we had a wonderful stay! We stayed eight nights and everything was great! The service, the delicious breakfast, the small but adequate gym, and above all, the location right on the beach, close to many attractions, yet in a very quiet area...

Went her with my family in July 2025 and the hotel did not disappoint. They did try to put us in a family room even though we had booked to separate hotel rooms but that was sorted out after the first night. The hotel has a unique location/area with a part of the beach that feels private. I walk along the beach and looked at all the other hotels and Geraniotis stands out with their open green area...

Tourism is big business on Crete and the team running the Geraniotis have figured out how to make the most of it. The main Platanias village on a hill is a 15 minute walk and Chania is 30 minutes away on regular crowded buses (with a stop right outside). The hotel is well designed: two-storey, white, vaguely Arab-style buildings with lots of grassy areas, flowerbeds and trees. The rooms are functional...

Great place, good location, excellent design. All the staff was super friendly, and Lefteris impressed us with his openness plus he even spoke Polish to us. I definitely recommend this hotel. Thank you :)

The structure, for the external part, is really very beautiful, with large spaces and a beautiful beach. The two swimming pools are basically only usable by children, since they are not very big. The rooms leave much to be desired in terms of comfort: we stayed in the residence area and they are very spartan (small wardrobe for 4, uncomfortable beds).

It is worth buying family apartment typ de lux number 165 because it was worth the price. High standarts of ccleanliness,very goog food(regional green products👏).The beach place wonderfull(UNCROWDED,grassy beach of hotel and sand /gravel beach with turtle nests and sea lilies-NATURE 2000.They are no loud animatora and loud disco.There is atmospheric live music(e.g.greek and…swing👌).We recommend this...

We had a great holiday at Althea Village this summer. It was our first holiday with our daughter which was 7 months old and the hotel felt perfect for us. The staff was really nice, everyday they were waiting for us with lunch prepared special for our daughter (at that moment she was eating only boiled vegetables), the room had a crib only for her, the "village" was quiet so we enjoyed our stay. We...

This was just perfect choice for our honeymoon! Rooms: Our room was spacious, super clean, and very comfortable. Thanks to the air conditioning, it was always the perfect temperature Common Areas & Atmosphere: The common area is absolutely stunning, full of flowers and plants. It has such a stylish, tropical vibe, sometimes we felt like we were in Bali, not just a hotel! A beautiful place to relax...

We've had our holiday at Althea Village in mid-september. It was the first time coming to this hotel and we will definitely come back in the future. The complex is big and spacious, perfect for a family holiday. We really liked how well maintained the common area was, with many trees and flowers, that gives you a holiday vibe. The rooms were very clean and there were a lot of food options at the restaurant...

Some much needed Greek sunshine! We were mostly really happy with the room, in the quieter part of the hotel. It was spotlessly clean and a good size. We had twin beds which was unfortunate, as we had booked a double! However, the balcony was really big and we spent a few occasions relaxing there. There wasn’t anywhere except the bathroom for me to get ready so I had to stand up- no dressing table...

I came to Althea Village Hotel on 14th October - 21st October, and the stay was perfect cannot fault it at all! Staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The weather was perfect apart from 1 day but was my last day so did not matter really. Beach is a 10 min walk - Iguana Beach, lovely beach and sea is beautiful to swim in spent alot of the day in the sea. Caught taxi from the hotel (arranged...

We were on vacation with my mother and my teenage child. The hotel area with its plantations and swimming pools was very attractive, the food excellent, the waiter polite and the cleaning first class. Unfortunately, at the end of the vacation, I broke my leg. :( After the accident, we received wonderful service from the hotel reception and the clinic recommended by the hotel was competent and friendly...

Love the location with close walking distance to 4 lovely beaches, adjacent to Lidl and close to a Greek supermarket and tavernas. The owners and staff are all v v friendly. The bed was v comfy and bonus to have a sea and sunset view from the balcony.

Everything in this hotel is excellent. Run by a wonderful family who are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. Everything is spotless and well cared for. Rooms are well equipped with everything you need. Excellent

Far better than the so called "5 star hotels" Mrs Gina and the rest of the Hotel staff were excellent at hosting!

Clean, friendly, functional, reliable! Ideal balance of price and services. We had a great time in Sun City Hotel in August!

A nice place to stay. Nothing fancy, but clean and a nice pool. The staff was especially friendly and helpful. There were two good restaurants right across the street. About a three or four block walk to the beach.

This hotel should have 3+ stars since it was a lovely hotel. Very clean, always a helping hand and a smile. The room was nice and the food in the bar as well. Unfortunately at the pool there was a group of young boys taking up the place by playing on air mattresses and ball and making disturbance for the other guests, owner Dina went to the pool and told them to leave! We appreciate that she took the...

If you're looking for the perfect beach bar experience in Agia Marina, look no further! This beach bar has it all – from stunning beachside cabanas to the most refreshing drinks, and exceptional service that makes your visit unforgettable. Our visit was made especially delightful thanks to Yannis, who goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels special. His friendly demeanor and attentive service...

Everything was perfect, very kind service from the reception desk, very close to the beach, clean room and bath.

The best staff possible. Everyone was above and beyond hospitable and nice. You can't get better service than here!

Cute aparthotel on the beach, simple furnished rooms but very comfortable and clean. Amazing staff and great prices for the drinks. I felt very welcomed and relaxed there, will definitely return!

First time at this place. Will definitely come back. The great staff is very service minded, and great rooms with an amazing atmosphere. The place is located just a few meters from the beach whereas the hotel have their own place with different options for beach beds. I highly recommend you to stay at this place.

We had excellent time. Very big and comfortable room for 5 pax. Beach is a dream

We've enjoyed a couple of weeks staying in this hotel with wonderful staff. There was no loud music from the bar in the evenings unlike other nearby hotels. Location is perfect - 4 beaches nearby, Lidl, bus station, nice park for morning jogging. Free gym is another big plus for fit people. Thanks a lot Christos, Maria, Andreas and all the cleaning ladies for your great service.

This hotel is all about location 3 lovely beaches within a very short walk €12 taxi from chania Went to 10 local restaurants never had a bad meal all excellent There's a land train stop 200 metres away so if you need to go watermark or lake kourios it's very easy . Hotel rooms cleaned daily and best bathroom that we have had in 4 stays in greece Staff are fantastic George and his family who...

Great beach hotel Very nice little hotel. Close to at least four different sandy beaches. Staff was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was very good, with options for vegetarians. Including Cretan specialties. Only downside was that the air conditioning was in the living room only and didn't get to the bedroom. They gave us a fan and it improved things a lot.

When we first arrived, in the middle of the night, I have to say I was a little disappointed. The room was small with not much storage space and it was in the basement. However, the next day, we quickly realised that we actually seemed to have one of the best rooms. Yes it was small but we asked for extra hangers (we started off with 2 between us!) and moved the wardrobe over so we could open the door...

Nice location with several good restaurants and lovely beaches within walking distance. Veronica itself has pleasant rooms with decent free aircon in main room. The rooms were kept very clean by the lovely and friendly cleaning staff. The negatives are: if you're self catering your options are very limited, with a hot plate, a kettle and very little else. The balcony attached to our room was so small...

Please ignore the bad reviews here! Hotel is great, quiet, great for families to relax and use as a base for exploring beautiful Crete! Room has everything you need, a toaster would have been useful though! George does amazing fresh cocktails 👌 Rooms were clean, and air con was fab and very much needed! We had food at the pool bar too which was great! Would return again - thank you

Brilliant staff. Good cleaning. Very high quality food in the buffet. Nice pools with plenty of free beds. Cheap towels. Close to supermarket. Bus to chania stops right outside dor 2.2eur a person. Couple of nice 🐈. Close to nice hiking. Not safe to cross the road for kids! But that's not the hotels fault. All in all super happy about our stay.

The actual resort is good. Decent sized pools, could be abit bigger though. The actual location is not the best, its just okay. Kinda on the outskirts from the city centre. The actual beach is also not really a beach. Its pretty terrible as its not a beach with proper normal sand. Its filled with rocks. You'd imagine a resort with the name "beach" would include a better beach experience, but it is...

Staying at the resort was excellent, and the service was on point. The food was great, but staying by the pool and getting served drinks was a whole experience. The bartenders love what they do and would even recommend you their favorite drinks to make and adjust it to your taste. Simply amazing!!! 10 out of 10 would recommend. Already looking forward to my next visit.

We spent 7 days at Santa Helena beach in 2024, 13/7–20/7. The hotel is very clean, architecture is nice and we had a 2 room ground floor apartment with a terrace to the pool area and evening sun. Good and free sun beds both at the pool at the beach (if you buy from the bar which is easy) The restaurant has a good variation of easier snacks, excellent pizza and burritos and good dinner dishes. The...

Alexandros, the waitor at the restaurant, is an asset to the hotel. He was what my boyfriend and I would call a serviceman. He is the only reason why the hotel was given 4 stars. The bar manager was hard to get a smile out off, and she seemed to be tired of her work and customers. Never an acknowledgement from her when we were waiting at the bar. The general manager we presumed walk around and having...

Very clean and quiet hotel in a good location. The staff is nice and the cleanliness of the entire area is well taken care of. Very good air conditioning in the rooms. Shops and services are nearby. The sounds of the nearby road are hardly disturbing. The kitchen offers a versatile and changing buffet table, and I recommend taking half board. I recommend this hotel! Very clean and quiet hotel in a...

Very ni ei hotel very ni ei cleaning ..Great housekeeping..thank You.kittos...beautiful garden nice People

When picking the Proimos Maisonettes in Platanias as the place for our holidays, we just knew it would be the place we will feel home, can relax and enjoy our time in Crete. After the first day there, we knew really that we were in the place which was exactly fitting to us. Constantinos and his team really made us feel personally cared for from the beginning to the end. We appreciated the regular contact...

Just had a wonderful two week stay at this lovely little apartment complex. This place definately has a lot more character and charm compaired to the surounding large complexes. The best part is the nice garden area with beatiful flowers, trees and calming water fountains. You can find plenty of nice seating areas to relax in the shade. The owner and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming...

Wonderful little green bubble hidden midst big hotelbuildings. Charming and cosy rooms with personality. No showoff. Art inside and outside in the flourishing garden. Welcoming friendly stuff ready to help with the smallest things. As soon as you leave the front gate you are back in the busy streets. An oasis for body and soul.

Proimos Maisonnettes are a haven of comfort and elegance. Impeccably designed with a traditional touch, and a sense of tranquility. The attention to detail was apparent in every corner, from the tastefully decorated living spaces to the well-appointed kitchenette. Owner and the staff are professional, very friendly but discreet. The apartments are just a minute from beautiful beach. Another standout...

Proimos maisonettes is a very cozy accomodation situated at the very end of Platanias. This though should not worry since everything you need is easily reachable: many restaurants are on walkable distance (first taverna on the right - Kanelis, kind recommendation to go there at least once - unique, amazing, tasty and each Wednesday and Sunday they have live music), bus stations in both directions...
