Platanias Hotel Guide - Botanical Park and Gardens of Crete hotels in Platanias, Greece.

"We had a good stay overall, with a few things worth noting. The staff were excellent. Petros handled a leak in our room brilliantly and upgraded us to a suite while it was fixed. The bar staff were also very attentive and friendly. The main downside was the spa setup. For a hotel marketed as a 5* hotel and spa, it was disappointing that all facilities come at an extra cost. The sauna and jacuzzi require a private booking (30 minutes, €25–30 per person). The jacuzzi was also only lukewarm and only seemed to heat up towards the end, which goes very quickly. It was also a shame the indoor spa pool was closed. I understand this is no longer advertised, but it would have made a big difference, especially in bad weather. That said, the massages were excellent and worth the €50–60 per person. The hotel is a mix of old and new. The older side shows wear, with stains on couches and cushions, but the beds were comfortable and housekeeping was great. The suite was lovely. I would recommend paying extra for newer rooms in the spa building. Breakfast had nice touches like local honey, also given as a check-out gift, but vegetarian options were limited. Indoor seating can be tight in colder months. Overall, great service but not quite a 5* spa experience."

"Good stay the host was very attentive "

"One of the best breakfast buffets we’ve experienced traveling."

"My unit had balconies of different views: Chania view with the sea, snow-capped mountain view, and olive grove view with the sea! Well-maintained modern hotel and the owner helped me what I needed very quickly. I truly appreciate that. it was an off-season and quiet around, but still able to find cafes and bakeries when I drove 5 min to the town.The tavern in front of the hotel offered big cretan meals which made me very happy as well. "

"Incredible family run hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. "

"Ein sehr besonderes Haus, das man rasch lieb gewinnt. Die Vermieterin Sofia und ihre Tochter Machi sind einfach nur wunderbar! Alle auftretenden Fragen konnten unmittelbar geklärt werden. Mehrfach wurde das Haus gereinigt und immer stand danach eine Überraschung auf dem Tisch, selbst gemacht! Grandios und äußerst schmackhaft. Ein Auto ist aufgrund der Lage unabdingbar. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt!"

"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."

"We didn't use the spa or the bar"

"Room was basic but functionable. Dinner was ok. Had the moussaka for dinner it was ok on the small side for the price and a bit dry. Only stayed 1 night "
