“It's okay but dull.”
It's away from the town which makes it quiet - that's a good thing. Car parking was good.

Nice place a few minutes walking distance outside Plakias village. You can walk and in less than 10 minutes you are in the heart of Plakias. An old hotel well maintained, clean with very friendly business owners.

Beautiful hotel located on the sea coast at 500 mt from the centre of Plakias. Our room was large and comfortable and it also had a small kitchen. It was the second time I slept in this hotel and I really recommend it. The quality/price ratio is very high.

“Just a few minutes' walk to the center of Plakias, yet in a quiet spot. A beautiful sea view.”
The hotel is very conveniently located, just a few minutes' walk to the center of Plakias, yet in a quiet and peaceful spot. Parking is available, and there’s a beautiful sea view. The hotel is well-maintained with a good breakfast and very kind staff. Highly recommended.

Location was great ! There was a quiet beach area right opposite the hotel ! the main beach area was very near enough to walk to but we preferred to be away from there. The hotel gardens are so well kept so one can just sit and read in the shade looking at the views and watch the sunset. The staff are SO helpful and warm and as we were not in a hire car they helped us to arrange our taxi etc. We had a studio apartment with its own west facing terrace . We could hear the sea and watch sunsets 🌇

“We stayed here for 3 nights and did have a very relaxing time.”
The location of the Hotel is very good as it's only a 5 minute walk to the centre. The view from our room was south facing looking across the bay towards Souda and we had a very large balacony complete with sunbeds for relaxing and enjoying the amazing views.

“We had a fantastic time in South Crete, and this hotel made our stay even more relaxing.”
This hotel offers perfect value for money. We really enjoyed our stay: the hotel is very convinently located, the balcony view is superb, and the room is very confortable. The breakfast was good, offering a variety of options. The hotel's location is very convenient, close enough to Plakias that you can easily walk into town for dinner (great offer). The region itself is very peaceful, with several great beaches nearby. However, having a car is highly recommended, if not essential, for fully exploring the area, less crowded than the north.

“Relaxing and comfortable”
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....
