Marvellous sea views around Plakias bay from our balcony. Just placed off the Souda beach road but traffic not invasive, the sea was more noisy! 10 mins easy walk to harbour, lots of restaurants and supermarkets if self catering. Extremely clean and well presented rooms, recent modern facelift to facilities. Good clean showers and loos (very un-greek!). Good breakfast spreads in bright sea view room/patio. Good touring base. Would definately stay again.

Good location of the hotel with the beautiful sea view. Very quiet in the night but still located close to Plakias centre (2 minutes walk). Very pleasant staff (family hotel) and very good breakfast in the hotel garden. After reading different reviews we were expecting separate charge for air-condition but it looks like they actually are reading the reviews from hotel guests so there was no additional charge for it. Hotel was completely renovated recently. Very good value for money and would definitely recommend it to those who like to avoid mass tourism as Plakias is a very small town but with all necessary infrastructure (ATM's, restaurants,... Etc.) and Horizon Beach hotel is a great place to be accommodated whether you prefer just lying on the beach or driving around and discovering Crete. We were first time in Crete and in Horizon Beach and are definitely coming back next year. No objections

It's not called Horizon Beach for nothing, The views of the Lybian Sea, the sunrises and the sunsets are worth the room price alone. Also we got a free eclipse of the moon thrown in but I don't think you can request that! The beds could be a bit more comfortable and the breakfasts a little less Germanic, although to be fair they are catering to their main market.

We had a great stay at this hotel and the view of Plakias beach from the balcony was very beatiful. The hotel staff was very helpful. Very good breakfast,clean room and near the beach. If you go to Plakias take this hotel you will not regret.

The owner of the hotel was so helpful. He stayed up until midnight to meet us. He gave us a wonderful recommendation for dinner in the village. He provided us with a map of the walks in the Plakias area. Finally, he helped us when our car broke down the day of our departure- drove my husband to attempt to start it again, called the rental agency for us, etc.
