We stayed at hotel Galini Mare located in Agia Galini for 3 nights, and we have had a wonderful stay! The owners, Harris and Elena, know exactly what Hospitality means: Their personal touch can be found in the smallest details, such as the selfmade preserves for breakfast, and the amazing prepared cherries from Elena which we put through our greek yoghurt. On top of that, they both gave us a true welcoming feeling from the start, where it soon felt like we were talking to acquaintances. We booked a sea view room with balcony, which I can highly recommend. Every morning waking up with a view as can be seen in the picture give us the holiday feeling we were looking for. That, combined with a nice bed with additional topper on the mattress, a well working AC, and a coffee machine on the room made our stay perfect! Can you imagine opening the curtains in the morning watching the sea with a fresh made cup of coffee?.. it’s the best! Good tip for future guests: if you need anything, e.g. an extra pillow, a cattle on the room or advice about what to do in the area, just ask. You will be amazed how well both Harris and Elena will be able to help you fulfill your needs. We will definitely return to this hotel! Thanks Harris and Elena for the wonderful stay!

Just 400m west from centre of Plakias the Horizon Beach Hotel, set by the sea enjoys splendidly open views across the bay.Right below is a sand and shingle beach, with clear water (BLUE FLAG certified beach), from where you can swim. The sea bed is exclusive and ideal for snorkeling or underwater observations.

Very nice stay at Lenikos Resort

Reviewed By Gabri_Square

3-night stay as part of a family trip to Crete in August 21. We had an air-conditioned apartment, very spacious for 5 people with a large terrace. The hotel has 3 swimming pools and is located in a quiet area with a beautiful view. Only slight downside, there is little shade around the pools when it is really hot. The breakfast is copious, varied and home-made. As very often in Crete, the service is impeccable and the people very welcoming. I highly recommend this place!

COUPLES BREAK

Reviewed By ann-mullingar

Hi all, we had an excellent 10 days in a one bed room suite. This is a family run business, they also own and run the beach bar across the road. Complementary beach beds and beach towels. All of the family members made us feel very welcome. Excellent hosts, very much a sense that we were staying in their own home with out being any way over bearing, ensured we were not in need of anything. The suites were perfect and it is a lovely quite location. The bar and beach less than 100m from the suites. The bar also serves food made fresh for you. Sitting on the bean bags with one of their excellently made cocktail drinks as the sun goes down over Plakais bay is some thing special. Recommended (thumbs up) :)

Hapimag maintain a high standard of resorts throughout Europe, and Crete is one of our favourites. The Damnoni beach is clean and quiet and there are plenty of spectacular sights to visit from here. The Hapimag restaurant and beach side tavernas offer a great choice of food, including plenty of fish and vegetarian options.

WARNING DO NOT BOOK! Holiday from hell!

Reviewed By 570hayleyj

Under no circumstances book this hotel you will not only be disappointed but left traumatised and frustrated. The only positive part about this hotel is it's location as it is stunning views but that is it! Everything that is advertised with all inclusive does not exist. This place is a massive health and safety problem and dangerous for many reasons. The food is vile and not worthy for a dog. ANIMAL FAECES EVERYWHERE!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY IT IS A COMPLETE SCAM WND FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!! No entertainment, no music, no children activites. 4 alcoholic options most drinks you still have to pay for minimum €4. No snacks other than toast. No spa as its broken. Fly infested food. Staff are racist and rude. Still have to pay for beds. No childrens pool. Not able to change up money as advertised. No wifi in the rooms or signal. €3 charge everyday you stay. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately everything was geared up for the German market i.e. Information book, tv instructions and tv channels and using the safe. The rooms were clean and comfortable with plenty of room. Location could have been better.
