It is exciting to join the atmosphere in greece being here in this hotel, Chania, Crete. You can experience traveling along the coast. You can also spend the time eating in good restaurants. You can go for a walk late evening with shopping. Very friendly atmosphere with good meals and until late opened shops in the city, outside the hotel.... More

My wife and I revisited the Porto Platanias Beach Resort Hotel from late September to early October for two weeks this year. It was just as delightful as before. Sadly, in the Chania area, there are a few signs of the economic situation beginning to have an effect with one or two shops and restaurants closed down. However, the local... More

This is a nice hotel, but not a five star. When we arrived at night there were no bell boys to take our luggage and the receptionist didn´t seem to speak very good english, making it difficult to ask questions like where the breakfast buffet where and if we could get a map for the hotel. This is a big... More

My wife and I enjoy luxury hotels and the Porto Plataias Beach Resort and Spa is typical of those we enjoy staying at. We found the staff courteous and helpful and the food at breakfast was excellent. We like to choose different restaurants to eat out in the evenings so only booked bed and breakfast. The swimming pool (5 off)... More

The hotel Porto Platanias was too big to my taste. There was no cosiness, nor Cretan atmosphere. It was like any hotel in any place elsewhere in the world. One very positive thing was the Spa, which was stylish and nice cool environment away from the hot sunshine. The treatments were excellent and staff very friendly. The pool bar was... More

Nothing negative to say about the hotel. We enjoyed 4 pools, my child in addition the miniclub and the minidisco. The room was clean, with a sufficiently large bath and a shower. The staff was helpful and reserved. I liked the terrasse of the restaurant on the first floor with the view on the sea and there was a lot... More

Stayed at Plaza di Porto before. Since fully booked we selected Porto Platanias. That was a disappointment - although not too bad, it is nothing in comparison. Porto Platanias is the hotel part and therefore has not a proper fridge. At Plaza we had two bathrooms - here only one. Beds are as hard as laying on the floor. Furniture... More

We travelled as a family, and had two rooms next to eachother. The rooms were spacious, and clean. We had a view to one of the pools from the balcony, but some of the balconies had no view, or were located in the back yard or overlooking the footpath in the hotel. We had breakfast included, and that was pretty... More
