Horizon Beach Hotel - Harry & Liz Aug 2023
Just come back from 10 days at Horizon Beach Hotel. The property was clean and appropriately fitted out for a three star hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The hotel is a short walk from the centre of the resort. There are ample car parking space on-site.
Overall I thought the Horizon Beach Hotel offered good value for money.

Lovely quiet location on the outskirts of the village, in the evening the sound of the waves is very relaxing. Five minute walk to tavernas. Beaches close by.

Tolle Lage, ruhig aber schnell fußläufig am Strand bzw im Ort bei den Restaurants. Sehr freundliches Personal. Tolle Terrasse für das Frühstück. Viel frisches Obst, das Buffet könnte aber ansprechender gestaltet sein (sehr zweckmäßig). Leider war es nicht sauber, Spinnweben, fremde Haare im Bett, Kaffeetassen im Zimmer unbrauchbar und die Handtücher stanken fürchterlich und waren dreckig. Uns hat der Balkon mit Meerblick gefallen und die ausreichenden Parkplätze direkt vor Ort.

Ένα πανέμορφο και πεντακάθαρο οίκημα σε ένα πανέμορφο μέρος.θα το ξανά προτιμήσω.
goede ontvangst, ruime kamer met uitzicht op zee, goed ontbijt met ruime keuze uit diverse dingen (maar ook hier zie je toch mensen die diverse dingen meenemen in tassen misschien voor de lunch ???) vriendelijk personeel

Super Meerblick, weg zum Plakias Zentrum kurz, guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge nach preveli, souda Beach, Rethymno.
Parkplätze genug vor dem hotel verfügbar
Frühstück sehr schlecht. Jeden Tag das gleiche. Toastbrot, teilweise verschimmelte Oliven, dafür war der Kaffee automat gut.
Die Heuschrecken sind doch schon sehr laut, aber da kann das hotel nichts für

Great room and view
It was off-season so there were only a few other people (maybe like 5) at the hotel grounds. The owner greeted us welcomingly when we arrived by car. Check-in and out was easy.
The room and balcony view was great. Clean, nice beds, bright room.
Close to one of the beaches and at walking distance to the town. We enjoyed our time there.
