Grecotel Plaza Beach House

The hotel staff were very accommodating and helpful especially when all three of us fell ill with a tummy bug. This was nothing related to the hotel and they went above and beyond to help. Looks like this is going round the island just now. Wish we had seen more of the lovely weather but the weather had other plans, with lots of rain and mad winds. The room was very spacious but big downside was there was not enough cooking utensils - lots of pans but only 3 plates, two soup bowls and nothing to take food out of the oven with beyond the tea towel. This could be easily rectified. We did seem to have about 4 different types of kettles and coffee machines. Bath had a bubble function which was very enjoyable after a long flight with delays. Son enjoyed the gym. Lots of recliners to sit when the weather was nice and lots of access to the beach. Is about a 40min walk to the old town or a taxi for 7 euros. There is also a big hotel car park that can use if speak to reception. Plus there is a friendly black cat that likes to sit beside you when you sit on the sofas.

Plaza beach is a great family holiday it is a quiet place with not too many people. All of the people who work there are lovely and welcoming and there is lots of nice places to eat nearby, we particularly liked Irini and Vatania, there is also a handy shop next door. The atmosphere is beautiful. Rooms are traditional in style but we liked the split level arrangement and overall feel. Pools aren’t huge but fit with the feel of the place and we had lots of fun in them and also on the beach. Short taxi ride to the old town, we enjoyed being slightly further away as it is very busy.

Beautiful hotel, very nice and helpful staff. Beautiful views from our balcony. Breakfast kind of limited in options in our opinion but good! Only ate one night at the hotel when it was a bbq night which was very cozy and tasted great! Ps, try the drinks that Mikael (if I remember his name correctly) makes in the bar 10/10 Disaronno sour is a hot tip 😂

We’ve had a wonderful first stay at GrecoHotel Plaza Beach House. It’s a lovely, cute city hotel with a really welcoming atmosphere and, above all, fantastic staff. Maria in particular has been nothing but helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The breakfast team and reception staff have also been incredibly attentive and friendly, always making sure we had everything we needed. We arrived late in the evening and were very pleasantly surprised to be shown to our upgraded room overlooking the beachfront. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and having a kitchen in the apartment is a real bonus — particularly for those evenings when the kids just want a simple pasta or pizza! The beachfront is lovely. There are some rocks and pebbles, but nothing to worry about, and the sea can get quite wavy. During our stay, there were lifeguards on duty, which was reassuring. There are three pools at the hotel, although they are smaller than you might find at a large resort. It’s worth remembering that this is more of a city hotel, rather than a huge all-inclusive-style resort. That said, there are still plenty of options for the kids to enjoy. We stayed on a bed-and-breakfast basis, and breakfast was superb. There was a great choice and everything we tried was delicious. We’d definitely recommend hiring a car if you’re staying here. Crete has so many beautiful beaches to explore, and having a car makes it easy to discover different parts of the island and try some of the fantastic local food options. A big thank you to everyone at GrecoHotel Plaza Beach House for making our first stay on the island such a welcoming and enjoyable one. We’ve had a fantastic time and would happily return.

A delightful hotel with attentive friendly staff, who can’t do enough with you. We have just enjoyed our stay here with family and friends and the hotel exceeds expectations in all areas. Rooms are spacious and clean with all the amenities. Really enjoyed the pools and the fact that the beach is just across the road. Well done to Maria and the team at Grecotel Plaza Beach House!
