Pláka Vacation Rentals

"We had a two week stay May2024 and I have to say, we had a fantastic stay. We arrived just before the beginning of the season and it was pretty dead to be honest which was really nice to spend the first few days to relax. We mainly stayed by the pool most days and was very well looked after by Claudia who is a real asset to the team. She’s relentless in making sure you are well looked after. My main frustration is the rule around the use of the sun mattresses (yes that’s not a typo) around the pool being €150 a day. That’s ridiculous and there were only 1 or 2 being used, mainly after a certain time in the afternoon when things start to wind down. Personally, this is the one thing that needs to change as that’s a silly price. The food and booze is excellent although on the expensive side, you do get what you pay for so make sure if you don’t have all inclusive, you bring some cash. Everything else was brilliant, all of the team at the front desk and buffet breakfast should get a massive shout out. If we ever had an issue, it was sorted pretty much immediately. The hotel is situated 10 minute walk from the main town and you will find some brilliant local tavernas around there to complement your stay. Enjoy!!"

"From the 5 Star welcome, which included the hostess receiving us with beverages,tour of the property and helping us to familiarize ourselves with the hi-tech features in our room, to the excellent breakfast and overall experience, it is definitely a class of its own. We stayed in a seaview room which also came with a private pool. The room was well furnished, including blackout curtains, and they always maintained the room by making the bed in our absence and also left sweet treats and wine for us. The review will not be complete without mentioning the guest relations staff. Angeliki and Sofia were the two staff members who ensured we had a comfortable stay and answered all our questions about the hotel, the general area, dinner recommendations etc. They were extremely friendly and helpful and were there to greet us at breakfast and later in the evening. When there was a technical issue with the TV in the room, Sofia appeared right away and helped us figure it out and also had the technician show up immediately. She was informative about the village (Chersonissos), While we immensely enjoyed their excellent breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, baked goods etc., and the hospitality during the breakfast, our stay would have been perfect if the restaurants offered more choices of vegetarian dishes for dinner. We dined only one night in the restaurant as the options were quite limited for vegetarian entrees and sides. Hoping to see more vegetarian options during our next visit. "

"Nothing to fault about Daios Cove - this place is an absolute paradise. The staff are unbelievable and the restaurant standards are world beating: well done Daios Cove, were definitely coming back !!"

"A fantastic hotel. Great position with a large private beach/ coast. Fantastic views. 15 minute costal walk to Agios Nikolaos. Breakfast was exceptional with lots of options and first class service. The only area for improvement was the main building sea view room which was a little dated and in need of some modernisation to keep up with the rest of the hotel. The bungalows look great and I when I come back Id go for one of those instead…. Overall this hotel was brilliant. A true 5 star paradise to relax and de stress! Go for it…"

"Quiet, secluded hotel above Elounda with fantastic sunrise view from the infinity pool. Very relaxing and the staff were fantastic, buffet breakfast set you up for the day. We wanted to experience traditional Greece and we got it in spades."

"We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. A special shout out to Koula at the front desk, Popi in housekeeping and Evangelio at the breakfast buffet. We are looking forward to our next stay."

"Clearly the best hotel that I have stayed in my Greece trip. "

"A fortunate 1 week all inclusive stay here right before the prices went up in May on the beautiful island of Crete was a good choice. Only 20 or so minutes from Heraklion Airport, checked in with friendly staff and loaded onto a buggy with luggage to our sea view room. The views are spectacular from the room and most of the resort which in itself is visually stunning. Room was large with lots of storage, comfy bed, fantastic shower, minibar with some free soft drinks, water and snacks. Cleaned very well every day. It’s high end here, looks immaculate and is ‘Disney’ spotlessly clean everywhere. Lots of pools, some quieter than others with sunbeds and towel pools from your room. Towels are changeable from the pools. The hotel is large, well set out and spacious. All inclusive is plus plus. You can eat or drink somewhere 24 hours a day/night. You will never be far from the nearest bar/snacks. The main restaurant is plentiful with lots of options, all served to you from behind a glass counter. Most servers are great but one was intent on providing sub baby portions! Some options attract larger queues. But the food/drink is of a high standard. Waiters bring the drinks and are highly efficient and the floor manager is very friendly and helpful."
