Axos

This is a good value property for the area although the rooms are dated. The staff are excellent and the hotel has an excellent bar in the evening.

Hotel Axos in Crete is a true gem, especially for those seeking a cozy atmosphere and warm, family-like hospitality. We had the pleasure of spending a fantastic week here at the turn of July and August 2024, traveling with our two children. From the very first moment we arrived, we were amazed by the exceptional friendliness of the owners and the entire staff. We felt at home, and their attention to detail and welcoming nature made our stay unforgettable. The hotel is small, which adds to its charm – we avoided crowds while still having access to everything we needed. The location is perfect – close to the beach, shops, and local attractions, yet peaceful enough to truly relax. We absolutely must highlight the amazing bar run by Jannis – every evening there felt special. Jannis serves delicious drinks, and his sense of humor and genuine warmth make it a place you want to return to every single night. Another highlight is the fantastic value for money. The room was spacious, clean, and with daily housekeeping, we felt comfortable throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a place for a family vacation with a friendly atmosphere, away from large resorts, Hotel Axos is a perfect choice. We highly recommend it and will definitely return!

Didn’t stay at the hotel but found the bar on are 4th night , cocktails are amazing!! Christina served us each night and she was amazing super friendly! even helped with a bit of local knowledge how to get to the town centre etc, definitely recommend!

I was so glad I found this place!! The best bar in the area. It has a great atmosphere, good music but, above all, fantastic staff. Yannis, Michalis, Kriti and Christina are so friendly and welcoming. I had some brilliant evenings here and hope to be back there soon. It's a MUST when you're in Platanias. Don't miss it!!

Visited here Aug 2022 with family of four including two teenagers. The hotel itself is lovely, clean and lively in the evening as the front bar is popular. The pool area always had a seat and was well kept. Air conditioning standard in room at no extra cost and the safe was €10 for the week. Cleaning of room was daily. Apart from all the obvious to make your stay comfortable we found the family fantastic. They took the time to get to know us and check in to make sure we were okay and not in need for anything. Siblings run the hotel and credit due they have fantastic customer care. The bar can lead to extended noise (not crazy loud) so if you have small kids request a room further away. We loved the bar and music as our family is older and we could enjoy it on our balcony. Beach is lovely so make sure you get down to see the sun set. Restaurants in this area all serve the same food but the menus are vast and will not disappoint. Water parks are 1h 30min by bus but worth the visit. Overall it was a lovely family holiday.
