Futura Hotel ★★★★

"Best staff ever. Had a blast there for 4 days and miss the place already. Great and high quality breakfast. Apartments are nice and the inner yard design makes for a great community feeling when coming there with your tribe. Went out with the staff on the last day and they tagged along to ensure we had a great experience."

Secret Garden Hotel ★★★

"Beautiful location for dinner. Good menu, food very tasty. Staff lovely. The pool looked great -if we had discovered this gem before our last day we would have returned. Drink and desserts also as tasty as the main courses. Peaceful and easy to get to."

Maleme Mare ★★★★

"We absolutely loved this hotel. Everywhere was so clean. We spent most of our time in the quieter pool. We had no problems getting sunbeds. Stavros and Sascha (the barman) were brilliant as was the lady on reception nothing was to much. We will definitely be back soon"

Castro Beach Hotel ★★★★

"Basic hotel where the food is of low quality mass-produced food and gets boring very quickly. The location is quiet and therefore pleasant during the high season, but there is little to nothing to do in the surrounding area and walking in the heat limits the possibilities. The fan in our bathroom was broken and was not repaired, the safe jammed and again we had to wait a whole day before receiving help, and towels were not changed on Sunday, meaning we were quickly left without them in such high temperatures. The toilets were not allowed to be flushed with toilet paper, but the tiny basket where you were supposed to drop the paper was emptied only once a day (except Sundays)... Consequently, not surprisingly, an ant nest broke out from the bathroom into our room; it was anything but pleasant... no help with this, so we had to systematically exterminate the ants ourselves and look for alternative toilets if we wanted to spread fewer odors, given that the fan remained broken... Finally, our room door also got blocked, meaning we couldn't get in or out (luckily we had booked two rooms with a connecting door)! Management was not present at the time to come to our aid, so we had to wait hours again before getting a solution. Fortunately, the staff remained friendly, but you mainly had to exercise a lot of patience, or forgive them if something couldn't happen during your holiday. An alternative room was not offered. The room next to ours housed stray cats that visited our terrace at every turn, causing considerable nuisance. For us, the room experience was therefore absolutely not worth repeating. The beautiful swimming pool was regularly taken over by all kinds of entertainment, meaning it didn't always stay quiet and the floor around it was often wet and very slippery. The outdoor bar was occupied by people sitting on the bar stools, making it almost impossible to pass along the edge of the pool and the bar towards the outdoor toilet. Given that that side is the deepest part of the pool, you had better watch to see if the children could pass safely on some evenings/afternoons. The hotel looks nice in photos, but there are too many downsides to fully enjoy it. In terms of price-quality, this is not okay. Fortunately, there was a quiet pebble beach nearby, where it was pleasant to spend time in the evenings when the temperature had dropped a bit, and we also got to see beautiful sunsets. But is that really necessary in this place? This was fine for a one-time visit. As far as I'm concerned, I really don't need to go again..."

Oliva Beach Hotel ★★★★

"Lovely small hotel with a short walk to the beach. Spotlessly clean and plenty of amenities in the room - kettle, cutlery, sandwich maker etc. Some lovely restaurants nearby and a supermarket. We had a ar so a short drive into Platanias. Definetly recommend Oliva Hotel and will have no hesitation staying there again."

Solon Apartments ★★★

"We were meticulous in choosing our hotel and read thousands of reviews. But this hotel exceeded all our expectations. The rooms were very clean, cozy, and comfortable, just like home! Nektaria, the incredibly friendly and caring host, made us want to move in permanently :) Our trip with two children was a huge success, largely thanks to Nektaria's valuable advice and help. The hotel's location is excellent. There are several wonderful restaurants, a supermarket, and a children's playground nearby. The beach is less than a 4-minute leisurely walk away. Without a doubt, this is an ideal place for a family vacation, and we wholeheartedly recommend it!"
