Friendly staff and big spacious room, breakfast has big selection, great location right next to the beach with free sun beds, amazing restaurants in both directions. Only things to mention that if you rent a car it might be a bit of luck to park close to the hotel, go for smaller cars. In the room the bed was making loud squeaky noise when turned around as the legs were slipping on the tiles, some cleaners could be quieter at 7am when they are chatting considering some people still sleeping that time on their holidays. Apart from these a pleasant stay and recommended hotel to stay if you are on that side of the island.

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.

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.

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!

Disliked: Amenities
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.

Meget hyggelig og imøtekommende personale. Fine, store og rene rom med gode fasiliteter. To store basseng i tillegg til at vi hadde basseng på rommet. Generelt godt renhold. God frokost med meget godt utvalg. Stort pluss at vi fikk gratis sen utsjekk. Litt slitt møblement på noen rom og for få solsenger ift. antallet gjester er det eneste lille negative å bemerke.
