Grzegorz, Poland

We had a very pleasant stay with 3 small children. The staff was VERY friendly, they not only took their time checking on us but also to explain programs, we truly felt welcome. We travel quiet a lot and they were amoung the nicest hosts. The room was big, cleaned every day, we only missed some heat, but it was April. They had very good traditional meals, also. VERY good prices. We reccomend this hotel for families, solo travelers..everyone.

One of our top picks in Plakias.Surrounded by a blossomed garden, just a short walk from the sandy Plakias Beach in Rethymno, the family-run Plakias Bay Hotel features a traditional restaurant and a terrace with unobstructed views over the Cretan Sea. It offers rooms with free WiFi access.

Fitted with built-in beds and white-washed walls, all air-conditioned rooms of Plakias Bay open to a private veranda with full or partial sea views. Facilities include a fridge, a telephone and a hairdryer. Each unit includes a private bathroom with shower.

Guests can enjoy traditional, homemade flavours prepared with local ingredients and accompanied by the owners' organic red wine, at the on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner.

The centre of Plakias Village lies within a 10-minute walk from the property, while Rethymno Town and Port are 23 miles away. The nearest airport is Chania International Airport, located 54.1 miles from Plakias Bay Hotel.

“A perfect base for exploring central Crete”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 7 nights
Very little! (See the previous entry for a few minor things.)
This hotel is relatively unusual in offering an evening restaurant, which avoided the need to out to find a restaurant every night; also, the food was home-cooked and generally very good Greek dishes. Rooms were simple, but everything worked well: the shower and bathroom were clean and efficient, the beds were solid but comfortable, there was a kettle and the balcony had seats to sit out. Breakfast was ok, buffet style, but could have been improved by trying to do less and making a simpler choice more memorable. The clientele in October were mostly German families with young children, but fortunately most of the children were well-behaved at meal times and everyone was quiet at night. The biggest plus of all is the location: right at the end of the beach-side road, so no traffic, 50m from the beach itself for those who wanted it, and isolated from other development - right next to the path out on the headland. As a result, we could hear woodlarks singing while we ate breakfast, and several times we noticed spectacular vultures flying right over the hotel! Plakias makes an excellent base for exploring the centre of Crete, away from the development and major roads of the north coast, with several different routes out of the small town.

- • Leisure trip

The restaurant offered an evening meal, but not every day, closed maybe twice each week but not on the same weekday. Often `restaurant closed this evening´ and menu changes were very short term (late afternoon) so it was difficult to organize the day. We suggest such information is required latest at breakfast on the `closed tonight´ day. There should be more time between the serving of the starter and main menu, sometimes they arrived almost simultaneous.
The location was very good, staff very friendly and helpful. A small fridge in room. We ordered in advance facilities for tea making in our room and it was there when we arrived including milk & sugar. The free WiFi worked at all times. The booked room for 2 persons was adequate, shower & toilet room good, towels changed as necessary. Plenty of electricity plugs. This is a small family run hotel offering very good value for money. Breakfast buffet OK. The food was simple, the local menus i.e. Rabbit, were very good and most of the ingredients were local. The house wine was from the family vineyard and very good. A small desert & Ouzo was included in the price of the main menu which was excellent value.

Absolutely wonderful!!!
