The Royal Blue

10/10 Excellent

"We love the royal blue. It’s our third visit to this resort and it doesn’t disappoint. This sister hotel next door royal senses is also great and has water slides which is fun for the family. The beach is also really lovely and great for snorkelling and swimming."

The Syntopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful experience at the Syntopia. The staff were friendly and attentive without being formal or overpowering. As an example, the person on reception who checked us in remembered our room number a week later at check out! Had an amazing massage at the spa and made the most of the pool and roof top bar every day Food was fresh, tasty and varied every day"

Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The service was excellent throughout, with friendly, attentive staff who were always available and made us feel genuinely well looked after. The food was a highlight. We had breakfast each morning and one evening meal, both of very good quality, with a wide selection and plenty of vegetarian and some vegan options. Breakfast wasn’t quite as hot as the evening meal, but was still very good. The restaurant itself is lovely, overlooking the pool. Our room was modern, clean and spacious, with a huge balcony, a lovely hot tub and a great second-floor view of the pool and sea. The bed was extremely comfortable and the lighting system was very useful. The pool area is beautiful, with plenty of space and no difficulty finding sunbeds. The beachfront location is a real highlight, with a gorgeous sandy beach and clear blue water. We even managed to get a cabana twice, free for guests of the hotel. The spa and indoor pool were also excellent. We both had massages, which were genuinely very good and better than many hotel spa treatments. The location is great, towards the end of the main strip but with restaurants and bars in every direction. The old town is around a 40-minute walk or 10-minute taxi ride away, and e-scooters & bikes are readily available nearby. We honestly have no negatives to mention, it is a fantastic hotel and an easy recommendation."

Eltina Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel easy to find, next to large supermarket on a main road, a mile from the cross island route. Some parking, 3 allocated spaces and then on street parking nearby Has a lift but some stairs involved for most rooms. Room was a 2 room apartment with a large lounge/kitchen area, with a large Smart TV, oven, hob and fridge. Balcony off each room, large shower room, and plenty of storage space. Complimentary breakfast was good. Pool area limited, not enough sunbeds and begins to lose sun from about 3pm. Staff were pleasant and helpful. 100yds from the massive beach and its safe promenade full of bars and restaurants leading to town, about a mile away. The main road option I would avoid on foot, parked cars and busy junctions."

The Royal Senses Resort & Spa Crete, Curio Collection Hilton

8/10 Good

"This is a good resort with many pools and spa but not on the beach. There is a shuttle that takes you to a small cove across the street but it has limited chairs/sunbeds and can get taken very early. Good food option with a main buffet (excellent choice) and two other restaurants that were not part of the half board. Excellent sunset views from all rooms. Best to get rooms higher up the hill. Rooms are comfortable. Rooms without the pools are bigger actually. We had no hot water for a day which was quite inconvenient as we were supposed to go out for hiking early morning. Showers are messy due to the way they are designed. I don’t like the concept of not having a wash basin in the toilet. But overall a good experience but if you want to be on the beach this is not what you should choose."

Atermono Boutique Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent family stay by the beach with private facilities and cozy resort with nice pools and very friendly staff. Sunset from the pool bar was amazing ! Cozy but handy basement parking. Netflix screen projection was really a great idea although we didn’t get time to use it."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Platanes?

The best area to stay in Platanes is along the main road, known as the Old National Road (Palaia Ethniki Odos), which runs parallel to the coast.

This central area is where you'll find the majority of hotels, apartments, and amenities.

It's well-connected and easy to navigate on foot.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this area particularly suitable. Many accommodations here offer direct beach access or are just a short stroll away, meaning you can easily spend your days by the sea. The evening brings a pleasant selection of dining options, from traditional Greek tavernas to more modern restaurants, superb for a quiet dinner.

Families will also appreciate the convenience of staying along the main road. The proximity to the beach means less hassle with transport for little ones, and many hotels feature swimming pools and facilities suiting children.
