Excellent location, nice building. Good breakfast, comfortable feel. Nice clean pools. Rooms are perhaps a litte tired and would benefit from updating. Daily room housekeeping was a little hit and miss. Overall a great hotel for what we paid and would recommend.

4/10 Fair

The staff were great, no fault to them at all… but the hotel and area surrounding were extremely drab. There is absolutely no vibe or energy at this hotel, the room has no decor, the shower was falling apart. Breakfast was gross. The neighborhood is pretty much the opposite of what you think Crete would be like… pretty much everything about the place was tired and sad. We regrettably booked 19 nights and spent about 14 of them at other hotels in way better areas.

8/10 Very good

Caldera Bay is very nice and very well placed for surrounding attractions, you can get into Chania and Agia Marina easily as well as boat trips to nearby beaches. Plantinias itself is really lively and has lots of options for earing and drinking. It's really nice to be located on the beach too, we found the pools to be too small for the amount of guests and so went to the beach every day. The breakfast was excellent and the restaurant offers good well priced food all day. Our only reason for marking down Caldera Bay on cleanliness is because we had ants in the room, coming in under the front door. We complained twice but nothing was done about it. Other than that everything ejse was very good.

Rooms were clean and a good size. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A small convenience store on site. The free breakfast buffet was good. Right on the beach and a one block walk to the main road with shops and restaurants. Free lounges and umbrellas on the beach. We walk along the beach, to the right, where the yellow and green umbrellas were and snorkelled in front. Saw lots of fish as soon as we entered the water. Saw fish up to 18" long and my buddy saw a Jack Tuna! We enjoyed rhe resort so much, we cancelled our last night on Crete at another resort and booked it here for next week!

Room was old and dated! Furniture looked worn, twin beds were positioned awkwardly where I had to move them myself, never had anyone come check the pool water to make sure it met standards so I did not have my children swim in standing water where no one came to check the levels. Main bedroom bed was two twin beds pushed together and they were hard and uncomfortable. Tv had bad reception. Breakfast was MEH! Overall not worth the money or the title of VIP. Would not stay again.

Pænt hotel udefra, venlig service ved ankomst. Alle liggestole ved pool og stranden var kl09.00 optaget af håndklæder, på trods af opslag om det første var i orden fra kl 10.00 Værelse 112B var næsten et kælderværdelse, med fugtig vægge og lugten af fugtighed i hele lejligheden. Kan ikke anbefale hotellet

Det er et fint hotel, men kvaliteten af den private pool er ikke så god. Den er meget beskidt og der er ikke noget til at rengøre den med.

Flott uteområde rundt bassengene og hvis du får leilighet mot omgivelsene. Ene bassengområdet var det så trangt rundt at vanskelig for og bevege seg rundt. Supermarked på området med dårlig utvalg av softdrikker som vi nordmenn er vant og drikke( ikke cola bare med vaniljesmak og flere typer fanta og med smaker som ikke vi er vante med) Vi ble plassert bak og da såg vi rett i skog/søppelkonteinere. Rommene var småe, så vidt vi fikk opp soverom døra til veranda. Stua var stor med kjøkken krok. Badet ok med badekarr dusj.. Fint det er klestativ. Står tydelig at det ikke er lov og reservere solsenger før kl 1000 men da folk kommer til frokost var enkelte senger allerede tatt. Frokosten var heilt nydelig med alt som kan tenkes men mann går jo fort lei. Hjelpsom personalet.

For et herlig sted. Enkel og noe slitt, men absolutt fin og romslig hotelleilighet med kjøkken og flott solrik altan over et av de to fine bassengene. Rene, fine basseng, men noe plagsomt med lokale tenåringer som hoppet fra broa over bassenget, hylte og løp rundt bassengområdet nesten hver ettermiddag. Innholdsrik frokost med hyggelig betjening. Roomservice daglig med bytte av håndklær. Nydelig strand med 50 gratis solsenger og parasoller like ved hotellet. Masse solsenger ved bassengene også. To minutts gange til sentrum og kun 1/2 time med buss til flotte Chaniá by. Her kommer vi tilbake!
