Platanias Botanical Park and Gardens of Crete Hotels

"Incredible family run hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. "

"Facilities are great, as is the service. The only (minor) downside is location is somewhat outside Chania. Taxi is €15 and is easily booked by the hotel. We would definitely go again."

"Enjoyed my stay at the Cretan dream Resort and spa. Very friendly and helpful staff! We were well catered to. Amazing views, food, room and service! "

"A great hotel. Our room was really comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff are all so welcoming, friendly and can’t do enough to help you. Great set up and ideal for a holiday. "

"I loved everything about it. "

"We visited Balito with a family of 7 and had the most wonderful stay. The hotel is small but updated and it is run by a wonderful family who makes you feel at home. The pool area is lovely and the breakfast and coffee is perfect in the morning. The rooms were good for our large family (we had two rooms with 3 beds each) and the area is very walkable. It’s about a 14 min walk to the beach (with my slower children) and a 10 min taxi into Chania. There is also a bus to take you to town and some of the other beaches that stops nearby but we didn’t do it because of elders in our group. There is a taverna around the corner that was amazing. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and will be back again if we return to Crete. "

"Amazing location - five minutes drive to the beach and the Agia Marina neighborhood, stores, supermarkets, etc. In the same time we enjoyed full privacy and tranquility. Five fully furnished bedrooms with private bathrooms - nicely designed and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything you might think of and beyond. Our kids enjoyed the perfectly maintained pool and the garden - so many different plants and flowers, surrounded by a genuine olive forest. Not to mention the view!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Anastasia! "

"Beautiful villa, far beyond our expectations. Very spacious, stylish and had everything we needed for our family (2 adults and 2 young children). The pool was perfect, stunning views and everywhere is very clean. The hosts were beyond accommodating. They brought us fresh, home grown produce whenever we wanted, gave us amazing recommendations for food and even took us on a boat trip. The villa is very private and quiet, but an easy drive to plenty of traditional tavernas, stunning beaches and very close to Chania (you do need a car). Villa was cleaned and sheets/towels replenished during our stay. Hosts responded very quickly to any questions. I have recommended the place to all our friends and family. "
