Vi trives kjempegodt på Caretta kommer garantert tilbake.
Pros:

Beliggenheten er perfekt for oss. 2.gang vi bruker dette hotellet. Betjening i resepsjonen, i den lille restauranten og renholderne er veldig hyggelige . Reint og fint på rommene.
Hotellet ligger omtrent på stranden , stille og fredelig lite hotell. Og det går buss hver halvtime rett oppe i veien. Tar kun noen minutter inn til Platania og ca 30 min til Chania m buss.

Pros:

Śniadania pyszne i różnorodne, nie tylko dla fanów słodyczy. Bardzo czysto, zadbany ogród. Miły i pomocny personel. Świetna restauracja z pięknym widokiem i cudownym jedzeniem... wszystko nam smakowało! Na plaży oraz na basenie zawsze dostępne leżaki, prysznice przy zejściu na plaże. Blisko sklep, przystanek autobusowy oraz inne restauracje a przy tym jest to miejsce dla osób lubiących ciszę i wypoczynek w naturze. Możliwość korzystania z plaży, basenu, łazienki już po wymeldowaniu. Miejsce godne polecania!

Cons:

Wystój apartamentów dość skromy ale co kto lubi, dla nas nie był to problem. Jedyna rzecz do poprawy to słuchawka prysznica, która niestety nie jest mocowana do ściany co sprawia że kąpiel jest niewygodna.

Extraordinary stay
Pros:

Our stay at Caretta Beach hotel was extraordinary. The staff was very helpful and friendly and offered their help even beyond accommodation (they've organised our rental car and, as such, made sure that we had a reliable rental agency). In addition they were very accommodating with children.

We booked a room with sea view and it was just stunning. The apartment was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Cleaning stuff was very kind and respectful.

The restaurant is a great address - freshly cooked dishes with a sea view at reasonable prices, a great choice of dishes. Everything was perfect - from breakfast over snacks throughout the day up to dinner in the evening.

The hotel is pretty small and is perfect for those looking for calm vacations. The pool was clean and suitable for small children up to adults. Sunbeds are available at the pool and as well on the beach (we always had some available).

The hotel is located in quiet surroundings, you can reach several restaurants, as well as supermarkets and a pharmacy within a 10 minutes walk.
