Wonderful family run hotel in a perfect location

The location is superior, nestled into a mountain overlooking the sea which is a 3 minute walk away. The food and staff are fantastic and the rooms are simple, clean and very comfortable with fantastic views.

For me and my wife, it has been an unforgetable stay. We will try to be back there.

The hotel has a very family-atmosphere, but everything is cured in detail. The location is the best among the ones available in the Bay of Plakias. The result for the user is an unforgetable stay.

Excellent

The location is fantastic, perched on a hill overlooking the entire beach, and the views from the rooms' balconies are spectacular. The beach is within walking distance, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The rooms are fully renovated, modern, and comfortable. Breakfast is delicious and sufficient.

Excellent stay in a traditional greek place.

This was our second stay at Plakias Bay in 5 years, improved in many ways from the previous one. The rooms were renovated, the attractive and tasteful breakfast was expanded to a full day service, with lunch and dinner, which is a very convenient addition. As best holiday memories are the spectacular vistas from the restaurant's garden and room's balcony and the nice atmosphere in the hotel when interacting with the owners and the young and friendly personnel.

Small family-owned hotel, recently renovated, ideal place to relax, two minutes walking from Plakias beach and easy access to the beautiful beaches nearby. The breakfast was great, the staff very friendly and the room was comfortable, with a nice view. I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely hotel and location.

The location of the hotel and the view of the sea and the mountains was great. The room was clean and cosy. The hotel restaurant deserves a Michelin star. Lovely breakfast and very good level of national cuisine. The service of the staff is also top notch. It was a pleasure to stay in this hotel. Plakias village is one of the best places on the south coast of the island. Good beaches, quiet and cosy atmosphere.

We loved our stay at the Plakias Bay Hotel and can highly recommend it. We were travelling with our 3 year old child and it was the perfect location for a relaxing stay. Our room was newly renovated and had everything we needed. The renovations look really tasty and are well thought out.The food at the restaurant is delicious, the breakfast buffet was great and the view from the terrace is beautiful. There is a small playground area right next to the terrace - which is great for families. All in all it's a great hotel for young families but I would recommend it to everybody who is looking for something unique away from mass tourism. The location right next to the beach and in walking distance to the restaurants of Plakias is also perfect.

A nice stay worth repeating!

An excellent choice for your stay in Plakias! The hotel is in a calm angle of the village with an amazing view day and night. Big comfortable room with a good bed, super clean and a nice bathroom. The morning buffet was very good and the staff were super kind and always trying to help. Recommended and a good value for money. The hotel could use some minor renovation (mainly the doors and windows) but the traditional character it has kept, makes it unique and cute.

Perfect hotel by the beach

Perfect location and amazing view across the bay. Lovely rooms, small but nicely decorated and everything you needed. Amazing buffet breakfast - lots of healthy choices. We ate at the restaurant for dinner a few nights and it was really delicious. Staff were lovely.

Great stay

Fantastic view of the bay from the rooms and from the restaurant. Good value for money. The room is simple but well organized and nice. It is 10 minutes walking from the restaurants and bars area so it is very quiet at night.

This is a family hotel located at the end of Plakias bay, it is in very quiet location (no main road near the hotel). The hotel was recently renovated, rooms are nice and clean, comfortable beds. This hotel was mostly visited by couples, so very quiet guests. The owners are very nice. Breakfasts were delicious. We also had one dinner - they cook some traditional Greek food that I never ate before anywhere in Greece, very tasty. I would return to this hotel next time.
