Staff were great and very welcoming.
Breakfast was good with lots of options, and you can sit inside or out by the pool.
The room had a fridge, which was great for having cold drinks in the room. There was also a nice pool side bar. We had a small balcony with a view of the pool which was nice to relax on in the afternoon.
And plenty of parking onsite.
The beach is only a short walk away, and there were some nice restaurants around the area, but we were there very early season and not everything was open.

This was the second time my wife and I have been to Platanes...
This was the second time my wife and I have been to Platanes. We went for the first time a few years ago and thought it was about time we went back. We enjoyed our visit then but this visit was even better. There is a variety of accommodation available from luxury 5 stars hotels to small apartments and a great variety in between. Many residences have pools but there are golden beaches within a short distance of the main strip and many have tavernas and bars.
The main strip has many places to eat and drink and prices are very reasonable. Crete has a great cultural heritage and there are plenty of trips which can be taken.
The weather was wall to wall sunshine

Breakfast was wonderful a good selection of hot and cold options. The breakfast staff and reception team were warm smd welcoming.
The poolside bar service for both drinks and food was a slow.
The pool roof terrace was beautiful overlooking the sea.
We loved the beach bar directly in front of the hotel for lunch. Great service here and family run. Its not part of the hotel but it certainly added to our stay.
Rooms kept clean. I would say the pool towels were rather small but we had our own so not a big issue.
A wonderful hotel in a great location.

Have visited Platanes for over 20 years and still love it as much now as we did then. The locals are so warm and friendly, there are so many delightful restaurants to choose from, our favourite being The White Lady. It’s a 10 min taxi to Rethymno for shopping so ideally situated

The resort was big enough to offer good choices but not so big that it was impersonal. The beach is sandy but at the shore line there are small stones which slip as you move into the water. The shoreline has quite a steep shelf into the sea not a gradual decline. It's best to take some beach type shoes to wear in the water but there are the plenty of shops locally that sell them if you forget. The waves can be quite rough if there is a breeze and it may be challenging for young children.

Plenty of shops, restaurants and things to look at and do.
Plenty of shops, restaurants and things to look at and do. Lovely beach. Would recommend wearing sea shoes to go in the water as it has a lot of pebbles going into it. Lovely clean beach with life guards on duty. Overall a lovely place to visit.

We liked the resort for bars and restaurants, but the sea...
We liked the resort for bars and restaurants, but the sea was not easy to get into for those with mobility issues. The people in bars, restaurants and our accommodation were all very friendly and a good bus service made it a great location for seeing the area.
Centrally located, very clean. The staff are exceptional and very friendly. We didn’t realize until 2 days prior to our visit that our flight landed super early in the morning and we would arrive at the hotel around 2:30am, luckily our room had already been vacated and the staff were very accommodating and let us check in extra early, they even asked if we needed a snack before bed. The breakfast buffet was very good, a mix of western and Greek foods. A short 2 minute walk if that to the beach and all other hotels and restaurants!
The hotel staff (especially Mairi) were absolutely amazing, the pool at the hotel and overall presentation was wonderful. The hotel was very clean and tidy as well.
Breakfast in the morning was good - it had lots of choice from full cooked breakfast options to yoghurt & fruit, coffee, juices etc....
We had a very good time in Crete and fell in love with the place and had a great stay here.
Thanks so much to everyone at the hotel from Little One (Melissa) and Mr Williams xxxx
This hotel is an amazing gem. The facilities were clean and fresh, breakfast was good and the service was amazing. We came in really late due to a delayed flight and Maria made sure my kids were still able to get something to eat. If you are looking for a place to stay on Crete this is a wonderful find. Excellent service, excellent location, excellent rooms. Would 100% stay again.
Lovely hotel for staying with a loved one or with your family! I haven't seen much hotels with a staff kind and charming as those people working at the Atermono hotel. Even the hotel is not a dedicated family hotel everyone was lovely with our kids! Especially employees at the pool bar and the breakfast area. Rooms are beautiful and the location next to the beach was perfectly quiet.
A true gem for the budget-conscious traveler! This hotel offers great value for the price. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. The location was convenient, with easy access to local attractions. Overall, a fantastic deal for those looking to stretch their travel budget without sacrificing quality.
The hotel room with breakfast was comfortable and cozy, and in addition, it was perfectly located close to the beach. Free parking is another perk that made our stay easier and made traveling stress-free. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable place for a holiday stay by the sea.
It’s great, very comfortable and convenient local. It's close to the beach, there's also a supermarket, and the hotel's facilities are very comfortable.
Also, the service attitude of the staff is very friendly and humane. They knew I was going to Samaria Gorge the next day and prepared breakfast for us that morning.
I was greeted very warmly by the owner Penelopi who set such amazing mood and continued being super helpful. Very chilled and positive vibes from this hotel, as all guests seemed enjoying themselves. My room had direct access to lovely pool and had its own pretty balcony to relax during evening time
This hotel offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay at a fraction of the cost of other accommodations in the area. The room was impeccably clean, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. Highly recommend!
Comfortable bed and mattress, soft pillows, fresh linens, free WIFI in my room all were amazing! The swift check-in/out process reflects efficiency of this hotel, allowing me to start enjoying the impeccable amenities promptly. I would love to recommended to my friends and family!
Great hotel. Super clean and staff very professional, polite, and helpful.
Our room was lovely . Very spacious and lots of storage.
The food was outstanding and delicious.
The snack bar by the pool had pastries and ice cream which the kids really enjoyed.
Thanks
I loved the amazing friendliness of the entire staff! Everyone was so positive and approachable, but also very knowledgeable.
The staff at the hotel and the beach bar made this vacation even better!
Keep up the great work!
