Great view, great room, lovely staff and nice location
Pros:

We had side sea view and it was still super beautiful. It’s located at the end of the village which we liked a lot. The rooms were clean and the staff super nice.

Soggiorno standard.
Pros:

Ho soggiornato in un monolocale con dotazioni standard. Ho gradito il parcheggio privato e la possibilità di preparare una colazione in autonomia da consumare ascoltando le onde del mare. Pulizia giornaliera, cambio asciugamani e lenzuola ogni 3 giorni.

Cons:

Rispetto agli altri alloggi visitati a Creta, ho notato meno attenzione al cliente. La mancanza della lavatrice a Plakias è un problema perché non ci sono lavasciuga self service.

Pros:

Beautiful view of the see. Breakfast served in the garden

Cons:

Is not easy to find out via google. Search the Plakias first and than the hotel.

Lage & Preisleistung top, mit kleinen Mängeln
Pros:

Die Lage ist genial: herrlich ruhig, man hört nur das Meeresrauschen, und doch ist man in 5 Minuten zu Fuß im Zentrum.
Die Betten sind sehr bequem, wir hatten einen richtig erholsamen Schlaf.
Freundliches, deutschsprachiges Personal an der Reception, was die Kommunikation angenehm macht.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen, was man auch in den Zimmern (und v.a. im Bad) an vielen Ecken sieht.
Die Dusche ist sehr klein, man kann sich nicht ganz so leicht darin bewegen.
Sauberkeit ist einigermaßen ok, man darf aber nicht allzu genau hinsehen.

Alles top und zum wiederkommen geeingnet
Pros:

Die Lage ist optimal, Parkplätze vor dem Hotel. Personal und Reinigung alles Top. Frühstück 3. Sterne entsprechend. Es wird investiert und erneuert, das freut einem. Zimmer nicht abgewohnt. Matratze ok.

Cons:

Die Badarmaturen sind jetzt zum Austausch fällig. Sonnenschirm auf dem Balkon fehlt bzw auch Halterung dazu. Kaffee war persönlich nicht der Hit, (ja ist halt Geschmacksache. )Parkplätze sehr beengt.
