Hotels on first line in Plakias

During our first vacation at Alianthos, we noticed how well this hotel is managed. Many visits later our point of view rests unchanged. Friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble, in short, you feel welcome here

Restaurant Amalthea manages to deliver the best cuisine you could wish for, every year again. All credits to chef Sotiris, who presents refined, flavorful dishes that do NOT become boring after a while

A couple of nights per week they have traditional music from Crete and those that know the traditional dances lead the way. The staff is super helpful and the owners a beautiful family

It is with some sadness that we stayed at Alianthos for the last time as we have always known it. Major renovations, including a new building, are planned for this winter

This is a wonderfully ambitious project, through which the Vardakis family will take the spirit of Alianthos to an even higher level

The transfer is an opportunity to get to know the island in all her beauty. The warmest of greetings at reception is the start of a magical stay. Enjoy a cocktail at Nymphes, the Hotel bar, supplied by friendly staff

We just stayed in Plakias for a few days and we ate our / lunch. The food was really great ( sea bream and lumb. Stuff was kind and attentive and knew English very well

Excellent location right on the beach in the centre of the resort but wasn't noisy. Staff were very helpful, friendly and hard working

We were visiting Plakias for the first time, our requirements were simple, a hotel close to the beach, a clean room with a sea view and a comfortable bed. The Alianthos delivered all this and more

We were half board and found the food to be excellent with good choices at both breakfast and dinner

Great hotel in Plakias Great stay in the middle of Plakias beach. Very comfortable, nice sea view, great breakfast - all very good.

With recent renovations including the seaside restaurant right by the wonderful Plakias beach it just gets even better

Insects are quite noisy, throughout day and night so take your ear plugs if you're sensive ;) As a couple we would have loved one big mattress instead of 2 single beds put together but that's bearable

Lovely hotel, scenic setting, welcoming staff and very responsive indeed. Family run, can’t fault it. Like many Cretan hotels, they only do breakfast, not evening meals.

Hard to say where to start: the people working in the hotel were extremely helpful and nice; there are several comfortable beaches in walking distance; the view from the balcony at the seas and sky has no comparison; the breakfast was plentiful and tasty

Amazing hotel on the west side of Plakias, close to the center, opposite the beach with a stunning view of the Libyan Sea. Spacious and spotlessly clean rooms make the stay at the hotel enjoyable

Very comfortable hotel in Plakias. It is very close to the center and to a beautiful beach. The rooms are very good. The staff is nice and the hotel has a car park

Horizon Beach Hotel - Harry & Liz Aug 2023 Just come back from 10 days at Horizon Beach Hotel. The property was clean and appropriately fitted out for a three star hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful

Plakias area is a great choice as there is everything one may need in walking distance. There are beautiful beaches every mile, both east and west. Thank you! Cant wait till next time !

Amazing team who look after you from the moment you arrive. Maria and the guy with the beard (sorry didn’t get his name) were always on hand for any issues or to serve drinks etc. Modern rooms with everything you need

One of the best places to stay in Plakias!a truly wonderful boutique hotel with maisonette rooms arranged around a beautifully designed central pool with a pool bar! The rooms are truly splendid, very clean and well designed! Additionally, prices are very reasonable even during high season!And on top of that, the service and hospitality of the owners and personnel is top notch!!! Highly recommended

Comfortable stay at Cyano very nice and quiet stay in Plakias, not far from restaurants and the beach. Excellent breakfast en very gentile staff. We stayed here for the second time and would surely stay here again.

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms with all the necessary amenities. Excellent breakfast. The hotel is close to the tavernas and the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would book it again.

We had a fantastic stay at Cyano Hotel! The room was spotless, the setting peaceful, and just a 3-minute walk to the beach and Plakias town

Great experience, such nice people and good location. 2 minutes to go to beach, nice pool and clean rooms.

Just a few minutes by foot and you get to the centre of Plakias with all amenities and the beach (they have both sand and pebble beach)

Very good breakfast, quality beds, very friendly staff, nice little town - but windy. So rent a car is almost a must to have a pleasant holiday. From Plakias there is also a boat to some southern beaches.

The people were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The service was exceptional, with the staff always attentive and ready to help with anything we needed

The breakfast was a highlight, a delightful spread of fresh, local options that made our mornings even more enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it exceeded all of our expectations

Our stay at this wonderful location in Crete was truly memorable. The location itself is perfect, beautifully situated with stunning views and close to everything we wanted to explore

The location is nice, with a calm beach right in front cause the water is protected by rocks to slow the sometimes wind-blown sea. The wifi could perhaps be a little stronger. The view tops everything off though

They also have a small private beach with trees where u can hide during noon. Very quiet place and a plethora of taverns where you can eat and watch the sunset nearby. They also have parking available

my sister stays in this hotel for last 15 years every year. good location, friendly staff, unbelievable sea view

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

Compared to the lady visita, this Place gas reslly improved, the breakfast Is now satisfying, the air conditioned works perfectly, the owners are always nice although the man dorsn't speak a Word of English, nice location front the Sea, we' ll sure come back

The option for a queen bed is nice, especially because it’s an actual queen bed and not two doubles stacked next to each other. The bed was very comfortable. The service is super friendly

Rooms are very clean and rustic with plenty of hot shower water and fluffy white towels. Hotel is located at the far end of Plakias beach and there are lots of places to eat and drink within a 5-30 minute walk

It’s a really lovely hotel, situated at the end of Plakias but within easy walking distance (about 10min). The nicest part of the beach with beach cafés is 3min away

They serve breakfast on a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea and delicious dinners are available as well. Clean rooms and friendly staff as well

Amazing location because it is right on the beach and in a quiet part of Plakias away from the traffic noise and other bars and clubs. This is a family hotel with clean rooms and good food.

The room are very nice , the design is cozi and modern , the staff is nice and very professional, helping always. We arrived in the middle of the night and they left instructions for us, key, water

The resort is at the end of the road so it s quiet , the view from our room was great , the food is very good. There s a village 12 minutes walk , the beach is 5 minutes walk

Small hotel in the center of Plakias with a nice pool and excellent breakfast! The staff is friendly, rooms are small but always clean. I would recommend this hotel for pairs, friends or single travellers.

An absolutely amazing experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the very first moment. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable

Really enjoyed my stay at Porto Plakias 27/5-3/6. The rooms were clean and really nice. The staff was polite and helpful. And I really would like to go back someday with my family

The hotel staff is very polite and attentive. The hotel is very clean. The location of the hotel is very good, close to the beach. The rooms are clean and the breakfast is more than enough. I definitely recommend it.

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 breakfast was delicious with plenty of fresh options, and the hotel’s location was perfect — close to everything but still quiet and relaxing

My wife and I got back from a week's holiday at this hotel yesterday. Staff were helpful and friendly and every thing was very clean and tidy. The pool, which we never used, was very deep deep at one end - 2

There was nothing wrong with it, but the sea and beaches nearby were so nice, we went there instead. There were plenty of free sunbeds right by the pool, with no towels being put out to reserve any

We stayed in an apartment with two bedrooms connected by a door and two terraces — it was a perfect setup for us (2 adults and 2 kids). The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly

The pool is clean and you can always find free sunbeds and enjoy the sun and great music from the pool bar (music is not loud). The owners, Kostas and Chrysula are nice people, customer oriented and very friendly

I absolutely loved the poolside playlist — Chris Rea, Sting, Sade, and more. Great vibes! Sometimes it was hard to find a table for four during breakfast The pool is quite deep in one part — up to 2

The rooms are simple but very clean. The kichenette is equipped with a stove, fridge and sink. The pool is really important part of the hotel due to severe wind who blows in Plakias, so the pool is secluded place

Our room was clean, spacious, and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The pool area was lovely and the beach just a short walk away

Rooms are well worth the price and the best part is proximity to the fabulous Plakias beach. Just a short walk. Town is within walking distance and many grocery markets and restaurants.

The only downside I noticed was the lack of entertainment. Unlike some nearby hotels that offered live music, poolside zumba, and other fun activities, Plakias Resort didn’t have an entertainment team or organized events

The beach nearby is beautiful, and the beach bar is a great spot to relax and enjoy the view with a drink in hand. Everything felt peaceful and easygoing, ideal for a relaxing holiday

Nice hotel with great location Nice hotel in the calm location of the city. Friendy staff at the reception. We got second floor room with kitchen and two bedrooms, room was clean and spacious

Amazing Stay – We Will Definitely Return! We had a wonderful time at Plakias Resort! The location is stunning, the atmosphere peaceful, and the staff very kind and helpful

The pools are very nice although some of the sunbeds need an upgrade I’ve not had an issue to find one. The little cove beach is beautiful and really handy right there

The hotel boasts a stunning location, blending naturally into the surrounding mountains right on the seashore. Relaxing by the pool, you can enjoy the surf

Beautiful little hikes with an amazing beach one direction, and beach village the other, both only 7mins away. Staff was great, you can see everyone including pool maintenance and cleaners are happy with their jobs

This hotel is for those who appreciate being at one with nature, incredible views, the sound of the sea, and are willing to explore the numerous bays nearby. We found everything we wanted here and definitely recommend it

Shallow beaches in beautiful bays and other interesting places to visit are a 10-15-minute drive away

The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, offering a selection of traditional Greek dishes, as well as fish and several meat options daily, delicious desserts, a selection of salads, and several types of cheese

We were slightly disappointed that unlike advertised on the webpage - pool was not heated but water was very cold. In May it can be a challenge with small kids. Also we got cute beach bag from hotel

We stayed in July at the Belvedere apartments in Plakias , Crete , I was compelled to write a review because of the amazing standard of service we received. From the moment we arrived the level of service was excellent

We loved that you could choose your pillow from a range of options - such a clever idea. The breakfast was astonishingly good

All these elements combined to make Belvedere the best holiday accommodation I have ever stayed in

Cute little hotel in the small town Plakias, walking distance to some excellent restaurants and supermarket. The absolutely best part was good breakfast and clean, calm environment

When checking out, personnel insisted it back even though it was full of our items. They gave us pienty of small plastic bags where we stuffed our items

We stayed at the Louise apartment. Everything was perfect and the unobstructed sea view from the large balcony was spectacular

Τουλάχιστον decent επιλογή με καλή τιμή, ωραία τοποθεσία και θέα. Το δωμάτιο πολύ άνετο και όμορφο. Δεν έχω κάτι αρνητικό να σχολιάσω πραγματικά. Η κοπέλα στην reception ευγενέστατη και βοηθητική. Θα ξαναπήγαινα άνετα.

We also very much appreciate that Thalassa apartments allows pets, and we could have our pet friends, Jolene and Navajo with us. Thank you very much for the hospitality

We could hear the waves at night, which was very relaxing, and we could stare at the stars (half balcony was roofless, I guess for this reason)
