Our eight year holidaying in Greece and the Greek Islands so our expectations were realistic. Notwithstanding what has been previously said about the sea conditions, we thought the location was good. Plenty of long walks along the beach. Easy access to Chania via the local bus. If you get fed up with hotel food or are on a S/C option... more

The hotel was OK, but nothing brilliant. The five large pools were great and loungers plentiful, (although annoyingly towels were still used to save them, despite small polite notices). It was tranquil and seemed a nice way to unwind after a year's hard work. The animation team were soon thought of as 'in-animation' as even they failed to turn up... more

This hotel is fine for a quiet family holiday- if a little boring for children. There weren't very many English children at this resort and the animation team did very little. The food was quite nice, the drinks quite expensive. The Maissonette room we had was great and we had plenty of space, I think this is because we emailed... more

The hotel can definately not be considered a five star hotel. The hotel is overpriced for what it offeres and the service is terrible. The personel of the hotel are extremely rude. I was forced to pay for the whole night although i checked out immediately and drove around chania to find another hotel to stay. Minoa Palace and Kalliston... more

First of all I have been using Trip Advisor for travel recommendations for years and have never been let down until this time. I had spent a lot of time reviewing places to stay during our stay in Crete and the decision came down between Porto Platanias and Minoan Palace. We travelled with a 8 other people and the final... more

Stayed here this year for our summer holidays. Quite a big group of 7 with ages ranging from 44 to 2. Can honestly say that practically everything was perfect. Rooms were spotlessly clean and that included the bathrooms. There was a great choice of pools to stay at if you wanted to, so if one was full, usually the one... more

Just come back from a week in Porto Platanias. We had a lovely room facing directly onto the beach, with air con, TV and fridge. It was all very clean and nicely decorated with marble surfaces in the bathroom, the shower above the bath. The hotel was very nice but not much to do at night unless you went out... more

I would not recommend the maisonettes in Plaza Di Porto, Parts of the ceiling in the bedroom fell down, and almost hit me in the head. Terrible, and all we got was a card and a fruitbasket.. more

The hotell area is great, BUT, and this was rather bad - the rooms were less nice and the hotellstaff was arrogant and very unwilling to help. They appeared to be nice when we first came, but then we got problems and then they became unwilling. the waterpipes at the bathroom sprung leek and we had a problem with antz... more
