Dimitra & Evdokia Hotel

Most of this has been said before but this place is great, we had a top floor room in B block for 10 days on a self catering basis with Jet 2. We had a very late arrival and as expected the keys were on the counter in reception with a map showing where to go. The Aircon control was left in the room, which was a godsend, if you dont want to pay for Aircon (Euro8/day) hand it in the following day. The room was spacious with basic cooking equipment, kettle, toaster a sink and a fridge. Its a little short of drawer space but plenty of hangers in the wardrobe. there was a good size balcony with a table and couple of chairs. The beds were very comfortable with foam toppers. Everything was clean on arrival. Only negative about the room was the small bathroom, not in itself a problem but the toilet was set very close to the wall, rather to close for ease of use. Still it wasnt a big problem once you worked out how to deal with that. The pool areas are clean and there are plenty of sun loungers. Staff are really friendly and helpful especially the ladies on reception. The apart form the lack of drawers and the position of the toilet the only other negatives were the fact that on some days some of the towels and sheets had the odd small hole in them which I think should have been spotted and the item removed from use. Nisea beach bar just over the road has really good sunbeds, free if you eat/drink there and serves good food and excellent milkshakes. There is a nice bakery over the road and to the left for fresh bread, filled rolls, pies , cakes etc or a coffee and three supermarkets near by as well. Lots of restaurants around, try the Tomahawk stake at Romeos if you like a challenge. Bus to Chania Euro2 each way, bus stop just outside the apartment, try the Well of the Turk for something a little different to eat but get there early or book as its very popular. We took the 2 hour boat trip from Platannias harbour, booked on line through Destination Platannias out to the island and it was great fun with a couple of swim stops.

We stayed here for 10 nights in June. We were greeted by the pleasant staff with a fast efficient check in. The hotel room c9 We stayed in was spotless as was the rest of this little complex they call a village. A lovely deaf lady came to do the cleaning, sorry but I've forgot your name, she was always smiling and lovely. The apartments are idealy located just over the road from the beach ,and a taxi office, local bus stop just outside. The pool side food which we only had once at the pool at the back wasn't very tasty I'm afraid we had a toasted sandwich which was bland. There's plenty of lovely restaurants all round and food is great everywhere we went, prices all much the same, the downside to this part of crete however was the price of drinks. €5 for a large beer on draught or bottle of mythos at almost every bar they're not even a pint!. We can only assume that because lots of Scandinavian tourists holiday here that the locals price it high as they pay twice that in Scandinavian countries, indeed we had a day out 2 hours away and the price dropped to 3.00 for large drinks. Plantanias is beautiful, other than expensive drinks , yes I would visit again and definitely recommend these apartments 👌 our view in pic below from the balcony.
