Absolutely lovely stay, comfortable and relaxing, with amazing views
Pros:

We loved absolutely everything! The hotel itself is brilliantly located, perfectly clean and well maintained. We picked it for a week of family vacation and it was a perfect choice for us. We could relax in the swimming pool with breathtaking views overlooking Plakias bay but it is a few minutes drive to a couple of beautiful beaches in the area and a few minutes walk to several excellent tavernas. Staff in the hotel is very welcoming, friendly and they are always there for you whenever you need anything or have questions (best regards to the owner Stefanos who always greeted us with smile and good word whenever he saw us in the hotel). We liked the hotel breakfasts, good variety of fresh food, including savoury and sweet options and breakfast terrace has again great views. Rooms are spacious, quiet, clean and comfortable, we had three different ones for six of us and they were all great, with comfy beds and everything one may need for holiday stay. Overall we had a great time and we will definitely want to come back!

Cons:

I hope we could have stayed longer :)

Pros:

Mi estancia en Stefanos Village Hotel ha sido maravillosa, un auténtico regalo. Superó con creces todas mis expectativas. El gerente es una persona increíblemente cercana y amable, y todos los trabajadores hacen que te sientas como en casa desde el primer momento. Las instalaciones son de 10, cuidadas al detalle. Me alojé en el apartamento de la piscina con vistas al mar… y sinceramente, me hubiera quedado a vivir allí, las vistas son simplemente mágicas. Un lugar que se queda grabado en el corazón y al que sin duda quiero volver.

Cons:

Lo unico el chico que limpia la piscina aparece de imprevisto

Great location, even better views
Pros:

Location of the hotel is amazing. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was newly updated. Room was very clean and had everything we needed, and more! The town itself is great with amazing restaurant options - some of the best meals in Crete in general. We will be coming back.

Cons:

Nothing - we will be back!

Pros:

The mountain-view setting is spectacular—like something out of a movie. This was my wife's favorite hotel of our three-week trip. Our room was spacious and offered a gorgeous view. Sotiria was a wonderful host who gave us helpful advice for our stay. The Wi-Fi worked well, and the breakfast was excellent, with a nice mix of Greek specialties and classic options. Overall, we highly recommend Stefanos and look forward to returning someday.

Definitif ein Traum Urlaub
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Außsicht ist ein Traum, vom Pool aus konnte man ins Meer schauen. Das Hotel selbst ist wie ein kleines Dorf angelegt mit vielen Treppen und Gängen überall schöne Pflanzen.
Das Frühstuck war sehr klecker und abwechslungsreich.

Cons:

Die Poolliegen sollten neue Aufleger bekommen, diese sind durch die Witterung sehr verschmutzt, vieleicht da auch keine weißen nehmen!!
Die Auffahrt zu den Parkplatzen ist sehr schmal und steil, was aber nur mich störte mein Mann und Kind fanden es sehr cool da hoch zufahren.

Pros:

This was the second time we were guests in the hotel. It's such a nice place with an unforgettable view on the bay of Plakias. The free wifi supported all our mobiles and laptop without any problem. (They upgraded the system since our last visit). Again we enjoyed the variety of food offered during the breakfast, that we had outside on the balcony.
The lady of the house is very friendly and helpful. Also no bad words about the other people working in the hotel and the way they keep everything clean. Nearby there are nice restaurants.
A lot of activities can be done on and below the water and nice trips are presented in the book of the hotel. We already want to come back :-)

Es war sehr schön und wir kommen wieder
Pros:

Die Hotelanlage ist wunderschön. Alles war sehr gepflegt und sauber, der Poolbereich ist ein Traum. Das Bett war sehr bequem und der Balkon hat einen tollen Ausblick geboten. Man hatte seine Privatsphäre und es war sehr entspannt und ruhig. Das W-LAN funktionierte einwandfrei, wir konnten problemlos Filme gucken. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls ok, man hatte von der Terrasse aus einen tollen Ausblick auf das Dorf und die Bucht von Plakias.

Cons:

Wir hatten eines der älteren Zimmer (Executive Junior Suite). Das Bad war schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, die Küchenzeile ebenfalls. Alles in allem war das Zimmer etwas duster und trostlos und wir fanden den Preis nicht ganz angemessen, da auf booking com andere Zimmer derselben Kategorie abgebildet waren, die moderner und stilvoller aussahen.
