Porto Platanias Beach Luxury Selection

Me and my daughter really loved our week at the Porto Platanias Luxury. Nice room/suite and facilities, clean, peaceful environment and top tier service from the lovely staff! The room was very well equiped, good comfortable bed, great air condition, bathroom supplies including razors and other useful items. Also a ironing board and iron so one could get wrinkels out of the shirts. Breakfast was superb and a good variety to choose from, all with an magnificent seaview and friendly considerate staff . We also appreciated the smooth service of drinks and snacks direct to the sunbeds after ordering in an app. Great service from the crew in the reception too, they helped us with everything from luggage to booking of excursions. All in all, I’m happy to recommend this Hotel and I’m likely to return if I visit Crete again.

we won’t be staying here again. The amenities are just not up to our usual standards. the airconditioning system is substandard so the room was rarely cold enough and we are in the air con business. out of the hundreds of hotels we have stayed at in the past 40 years, this is the only hotel that doesn’t supply free water every day. Our television had constant internet issues so we couldn’t use it and the hotel breakfast and room service food was around a 4 out of 10 for me. The food was always cold and without flavor and extremely limited choices and the staff have very limited english.

Porto Platanias Luxury Selection exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the attentive staff who made check-in super easy at the reception. The lady at the reception was so kind and professional. The attention to detail throughout the entire stay was extraordinary. The rooms are impeccably designed, modern, elegant, and spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Every morning we were greeted with a rich and beautifully presented breakfast buffet featuring fresh local ingredients, healthy options, and delicious Cretan specialties. What really sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service. Every staff member —from reception to housekeeping to the restaurant team (specially Georgia) was genuinely kind, professional, and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. We felt truly pampered at every step. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic getaway, a relaxing holiday, or a luxury retreat, Porto Platanias Luxury Selection is a rare gem that delivers a five-star experience in every sense. I can’t wait to return!

Lovely location and great staff. 2 main gripes. Limited wardrobe space. One of us living out of suitcase! The main issue we have is the breakfast. Such beautifully cooked food but left to go stone cold! Hot plates not on so all cooked food left to go cold. No issue with quality of food but don’t enjoy eating cold food, might as well just stick with continental option. Such a shame as chefs so proud of their food! Please can we have some heat!!

Great rooms, very quiet and comfortable. The pool is very relaxing and the beach is all that you expect for your Greek vacation. Fantastic cuisine and bar. The staff is very hospitable and polite. Overall a great choice for Platanias especially if you are a couple or small parts of family and friends We loved everything about this Hotel and particularly enjoyed the cuisine and the relaxing times around the pool and in the bar. We will return!
