Great vacation in Gerani / Caretta Beach!
Pros:

- really fantastic breakfast!
- very few people at beach in front of the hotel (and only 1 minute walk from hotel room!)
- very clean and spacious room
- very friendly staff!
- relaxing atmosphere
- car rental, supermarked and bus stop nearby
- no overtourism

Cons:

- our neighbours were speaking loudly and slamming doors at night, so earpluggs are a good idea to bring

Pros:

Sijainti erinomainen, rauhallisella Geranin alueella. Ranta aivan vieressä, ja hotellilla ilmaisia aurinkotuoleja joihin ei ole tunkua. Uima-allas juuri sopivan kokoinen. Henkilökunta hotellilla todella avuliaita ja ystävällisiä. Lähialueelta löytyy paljon kauppoja ja ravintoloita. Auton saa hyvin pysäköityä hotellin edustalle. Hotellilla myös oma ravintola, jossa ruoka oli hyvää kreikkalaista ja kohtuuhintaista.

Cons:

Pidimme kaikesta.

Caretta Beach anbefales på det sterkeste!
Pros:

Vi bodde på Caretta Beach i en uke i 2024 og var så fornøyd at vi reise tilbake nå i 2026 for å bo der i 9 dager. Oppholdet denne gangen var like bra og vi kommer gjerne tilbake også ved en senere anledning. Frokosten er god, restauranten leverer smakfulle og rause porsjoner, personalet er superhyggelig og hjelpsom, plasseringen av hotellet er perfekt på stranden. At det er solsenger nok både ved bassenget og stranden er et stort pluss, samt at det er et SuperMarket like ved hvor man kan kjøpe det man trenger undervegs.
Det er et stille og rolig område, men siden det går buss til Platanias-Chania hver halvtime er det lett å oppsøke folkelivet når man ønsker. Vi reiste med familie og venner, og både voksne og ungdommer er godt fornøyde med oppholdet.

Cons:

Dusjforheng på badet

Fabulos!
Pros:

Am avut o experiență excelentă! Cazarea este chiar pe plajă, iar priveliștea este superbă. Piscina este mare, foarte curată și bine întreținută, perfectă atât pentru relaxare, cât și pentru familii. Camerele sunt confortabile și curate, iar personalul a fost amabil și atent pe tot parcursul sejurului. Atmosfera este liniștită, iar locația este ideală pentru o vacanță reușită. Cu siguranță ne vom întoarce și recomandăm această cazare tuturor celor care își doresc câteva zile de relaxare la mare!

Cons:

Nu am ce să spun.

Pros:

Excellent place for a relaxing holiday. The property is very well maintained, clean, and regularly serviced. The buffet breakfasts were fresh, tasty, and offered plenty of variety.

The location right on the beach is perfect, with free sun loungers and umbrellas always available for guests. The area is peaceful and quiet, away from the crowds.

The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The on-site restaurant serves delicious traditional food, and we especially appreciated the snacks and welcome drink prepared for us after our late arrival.

Highly recommended – we will definitely come back!

Great and very nice hotel 💛
Pros:

Our stay was absolutely incredible! The staff is amazing. We had a very late check-in, and they kindly left dinner on the table and some water for us — it was so sweet and unexpected! The manager is always in touch and responds quickly to any questions. 💛
The rooms are cleaned every day, and towels are changed every two days. The breakfasts are next level: a great variety of options, everything is delicious, and you get to enjoy it with a sea view! Also, the area is very quiet — away from the big beach, with much fewer people, which was exactly what we needed.
We are absolutely thrilled and want to thank the hotel team for everything!

Cons:

Of course the rooms are not the newest, but you have to take into account the level of the hotel. But everything is well-maintained ✨

Fantastiskt boende vid stranden med pool
Pros:

Lugnt område där det kändes tryggt. Fin pool och strand. Fanns gott om solstolar - inget paxande. Restaurang vid poolen men som
Också serverade dryck vid stranden om så önskades. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal!

Cons:

Allt var toppen. Något som drar ner betyget något är att internetet på ett av rummen var väldigt dåligt. I det andra vi hade var det toppen! Sedan var madrasserna i ”extrasängarna” väldigt hårda. Önskar det vore samma som i sängarna för de var väldigt sköna.

Dette var et perfekt sted å reise til for en avslappende feire. Vertskapet var alltid blide.
Pros:

Frokosten var veldig bra, det ble aldri tomt for noen ting. De passet på og fylte på etter hvert. Det var rent og ryddig over alt. Stranda rett utenfor hotellet var perfekt, ikke nødvendig å reise til andre strender og solsengene var gratis.

Cons:

Alt var bra, ingen ting å klage på.
