Sun and Sea Plus Resort

This was our ninth visit to this hotel and we have booked to go again. Great location just 150 yards from Plaka square with its shops, tavernas and bustling evening atmosphere and only 15 minutes walk downhill to beautiful Almyrida with its beach, water sports and many tavernas. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and I would like to pay tribute to the high standards of cleanliness and efficiency of the cleaning staff. Robes and slippers are provided and every day the floor is washed. bins emptied, clean fresh towels and bed made (See pictures). These rooms are designed for self-catering, if required, and the intelligent guest will perhaps get a clue from the provision of washing up liquid, pan cleaners, etc. that washing crockery is NOT the responsibility of the cleaners. Provided ones life style is not of the porcine variety with personal possessions and dirty crockery left lying around, the maids will clean the sink to look like new and leave the floor so clean you could eat your moussaka off it (See picture). Breakfast on the terrace is delightful, with clean white cloths and a stunning view. With five swimming pools and an ample supply of beds and umbrellas at each, even when fully booked there is rarely more than one or two people in the pool at any one time. Can't wait to return.

We spent one night in this hotel. The hotel was clean and the service was friendly. The departure of our flight was late in the evening and we were able to keep the room for a long evening at a reasonable price, which was a great thing. It would have been great if the swimming pool had been private, i.e. only for the use of the rooms. The air conditioning in the room was surprisingly loud and it even disturbed sleep a little. The breakfast was tasty and there were several options on the menu to order. The drain in the shower didn't drain well and it was a bit unpleasant. There was no restaurant in the hotel and that is a minus. Of course, there are restaurants nearby (100m), of which the absolute best is Elpís. We definitely recommend the hotel

I wanted to book this resort due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews, especially in regards to the friendliness of the staff. Having tried to book, I have discovered the staff are anything but friendly. I needed 6 nights but couldn’t find availability in one room but luckily was able to find 3 nights in one room and 3 nights in another. I booked directly via the hotel website and received a confirmation of my booking. Once that was done I booked flights. A couple of hours later I received an email saying my booking was rejected. There was no explanation as to why so I emailed and asked why. They said it was rejected as there was no availability. I asked how this was possible as I had booked directly via their website. This is the response I received: Probably it’s a system mistake cant say the reason, nothing is perfect. I mean really? Not only is it unprofessional, it’s also rude. I explained I had booked flights on the basis of this booking and sent them copies of the booking confirmations they had sent me. They didn’t bother to write back. I can’t believe they have such a hostile attitude to potential guests. If this level of disorganisation is typical for them, then I guess you might want to reconsider booking, especially given the lack of apology or accountability they have displayed. Book at your own peril.

We were recommended this ApartHotel by a family member and were not disappointed . We had an executive pool access room which consisted of a lounge with a small kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom, it had a good sized terrace with two sun-loungers and direct access to a pool shared with only the next door apartment. The terrace lacked any sort of shade after about 3pm in the afternoon and would have greatly benefited from an umbrella or canopy as when we were there at this time we had to sit indoors due to the intensity of the sun - hopefully this will be rectified in the future. Our check in was seamless - thanks to the lovely Xanthe who was extremely helpful during our stay. We ate both breakfast and dinner in the Hotel’s Riviera restaurant and both were excellent. Plaka has a small square with 3 Tavernas and the 2 we ate at were fairly good, there was an excellent authentic Greek Taverna just down the hill from the Hotel going towards Almyrida (a one min walk) called Sunset Taverna which was amazing. The walk down to Almyrida Beach took less than 10 minutes and we always got a Taxi back as after a day at the the beach the hill back up wasn’t an attractive option! We would definitely return as long as there were umbrellas on the individual apartment terraces.

Our flight got canceled and we needed a place to spend the day to relax after the traumatic experience at the Chania airport. This place was the oasis we needed. So much privacy and a calm vibe. The decor is modern and comfortable. The restaurant that they have was a 10 out of 10 experience. I wish we stayed there for our entire Crete stay. Would return for sure.

Stunning little hotel in plaka. Could not ask for anything more. Rooms are modern and very clean . Staff are lovely and friendly. Breakfast was lovely and was on until 12.00. Some lovely taverns just stone throw away and nice walk down to almyrida . Are stay was top class.
