Location în front of the sea. Rooms are big but the hotel has a crowded layout so if you stay near thee sea like we did, facing the bar, you ll hear all the noise until 1pm.
Beds are amazing, the most comfortable I ever slept în.

Location amazing, right on the beach. Facilities were amazing. The staff could not do more for you.
Just 656 feet from the beach of Platanias, Porto Platanias Village Resort is a village-style complex featuring stone-paved paths, gardens and a lovely swimming pool.

Clean room, friendly and accommodating staff.
Residents of the Village Resort have access to the Beach&Spa Resort's pools and the pool bar. You can also ask to have a lunch or dinner in their all-inclusive restraurant (different from the a la carte restraurant). The view from that restraurant is fantastic, so I highly recommend going there. The food selection is also better than in the Village Resort.
Villa Giorgos offers accommodations in Platanias, a 13-minute walk from Platanias Square and 0.9 miles from Agios Dimitrios Church.

Excellent location, very nice staff, clean, comfortable, just few steps to the beach. I have been attending a conference close by. It was just few minutes to walk to the conference.

The location was wonderful, fell asleep to the sound of the waves breaking on the beach. Lovely owners, kind and friendly. We would definitely recommend this place.

The apartment was equiped with everything we needed, very clean and very close to the beach. AC in every room, kitchen ware, washing machine...the cleaning lady was very nice and did an excellent job. It was great that we could use the pool from the hotel next to us.

They do cleaning job pretty well. The pool is pretty and clean. The location is perfect for people attending conference, as it is 7 minutes walk from the conference venue and 1 min walk to supermarket.

I don't usually like touristy places but Platanias had a lovely feel about it. Not too many people, although this may have been because we went in September. We visited the War Museum - definitely worth it. Also went to John the Hermit cave and monastery at Kissimo which were unbelievable.
Beach was great and snorkeling trip fantastic and well looked after.

Touristy beach town extending along one road with lots and lots of restaurants, bars, hotels etc. lovely to get away from the road onto the beach. Beach was calmer and more relaxed away from the town centre.

It’s a great location with its own beach, but also a short driving distance to other fantastic beaches such as Falasarna, Elafonisi, Balos.
A lot of food options.
Not so much clubbing or night life.

The beach is nice, one can enjoy both sunrise & sunset at it. Warm waters. You must have beach shoes, as it is mostly made of rocks. You can go around by foot or bus, which runs every 20-30 minutes. Platanias has a good variety of shops, bar, restaurants to choose from, but our favourite by far was the SUN RISE BEACH RESTAURANT. Great food, generous portions, value for money and absolutely friendly team.

A great place for swimming, eating well and having summer fun with the family. It is also easy to make day trips to e.g. Hania, Rethymno or other towns by bus. There is also a fun waterpark Limnoupolis nearby.

Great place to visit - so many restaurants to choose from, too many to mention!! Lots of shops to buy olive oil, gifts, etc. I have also never seen so many supermarkets in one place, ever! Just brilliant.

thank you Sofia for everything 💗 she waited for us late into the night, we had a late arrival, she helped us with a taxi to her place and back to the airport. She prepared cake, fruits, vegetables, cheese, juices,... She baked bread for us during our stay,... wonderful couple who rent this beautiful house, everything is near- shops, restaurants, beaches from 3 minutes walk... you just have to choose which one. I recommend it and when we are in Crete again, we will stay in this beautiful environment with these perfect people.
Our flight was delayed but the owner Maria stayed up late to greet us. The pool was lovely, only a few steps away from our apartment. We had the superior ground floor apartment which had two bathrooms and was plenty big enough for 4 people. Small cooking facilities available and all utensils, very clean, beds comfortable. Location very close to beach (there are nicer beaches in Crete but it’s fine), restaurants, bars and lovely shops.
The hotel is located very close to the centre of Platanias. I did not have issues finding parking spot on the hotel's parking (opposites to the hotel entrance).
There is a fridge and 2 hobs in the living part of the room; plates, glasses, pots, cutlery, cutting board, big knives, washing liquid.
It's a great location for daily trips around west part of Crete.
Absolutely world class, the pictures don't lie! Only 5-10 mins walk from a strip with bars and restaurants, and the beach too. Only 30 mins drive from chania and only an hour's drive from Samaria Gorge!
The hosts are really helpful and supportive, easy to contact and even offered us extra beds for comfort!
Can't recommend it enough!
Sonio Beach is a piece of paradise. A lovely family owned and run hotel. Spotlessly clean, perfect location, excellent restaurant and everything you need for a quiet, relaxing break right in the heart of busy Platanias.
