Blue Dome Hotel
Lights were too dimmed so it was dark in the room, no coffee or tea in the room, notes about lowering or turning the AC when you were not in the room were everywhere, towels were looking cheap, the beach towels were very old , we were only allowed to change them 3 times in 10 days trip and the bathroom look really dated with no fan. The trash in the kitchen was so tiny Breakfast menu was ok, we just thought it would be more options vs the same menu every day. Also we rented a car through the hotel and we didn’t receive what was promised to us. The car was very dated 2001 model and overpriced. We returned it the second day and rented something else 2024 model for a cheaper price. The location was great and the stuff was friendly and caring.

Lovely relaxed place, on the beach.
A lovely, intimate hotel, tucked down a quiet road, but just a short walk to the many bars and restaurants of the resort centre. Located right on the beach, a perfect location. Despite visiting towards the end of the season, staff were friendly, helpful and ready with a smile. All together a great place, in a really great location where it was very easy to relax, escape and enjoy the wonders of Crete. Highly recommended.

This is a darling boutique hotel on the beach with wonderful staff and a fantastic restaurant on the premises. It's tucked away from the busy street traffic in town but you can easily walk to that if you choose. I loved my stay there and would definitely return.

Wonderful resort
The staff was amazing and very attentive when we needed assistance. The room was large with a large balcony to enjoy. Pool was very clean along with the rest of the resort. Our only negative comment was that the water at the beach was very foggy and not clear like some of the other areas. Great food and wine!!

Highly recommend this hotel. Amazing breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, small pool area with a great pool bar and service at the beach. Quiet location, but still only one road down from the Main Street with lots of restaurants, bars and tourist shops. Simple rooms, but clean. Only downside is hard beds.

Die Lage des Hotels ist unschlagbar. Direkt beim Meer und nicht weit Weg von der belebten Hauptstraße, von der man aber nichts hört. Auf die Sauberkeit in den Zimmern wird nicht so sehr geachtet. Preise sind für Getränke sehr hoch. Frühstück ist a la carte.

Fantastisk fint beliggenhet på stranda. Hotellet har fin utendørs restaurant med veldig god frokost. Man ser ut over bassengområdet , grønne plener og stranda og havet. Rolig fint på en endevei så ingen trafikk støy. Godt med solsenger både rundt bassenget og ved stranda. Hyggelig personell som gjorde alt for at vi skulle trives . Kommer gjerne igjen. Passer til voksen ferie.

Koselig lite stand hotell
Fint lite hotell liggende direkte på standen. Hyggelig og hjelpsom betjening. Stort pluss var at det var mulig å få solsenger nesten når som helt på dagen. Selv om gi gikk ut kl 10 eller om vi hadde vært borte fant vi alltid en ledig solseng. Studio-rommene er ikke så store, men det er nok plass til å bevege seg og pakke ut kofferten. God mat på restauranten, spiste der 5 av 7 dager. Gode smoothie i baren. Eneste negative var at sengene var harde, men fikk beskjed i resepsjonen når jeg nevnte det da vi sjekket ut at de kunne ordnet ekstra madrass om man syntes sengene var harde så tips til andre som synes det.

Behagelig beliggenhet med fantastisk service
Har tidligere bodd på flere hotell i platanias området og dette er ett hotell jeg gjerne vil reise tilbake til. Veldig serviceinnstilte ansatte som følger med uten å være påtrengende. Ved ankomst fikk vi god informasjon om hotellet og tilbud om en forfriskende lemonade. Solsengen på stranden er gratis for hotellets gjester, så lenge vi handlet for 8 euro i baren, men de ansatte fortalte oss at de ikke sjekket om vi handlet i baren. Det var store gode leiligheter (vi hadde 1 soverom, stue, bad og 2 terrasser/uteplasser) Noe som trekker litt ned på totalen er at de ikke skiftet sengetøyet på soverommet den uken vi bodde på hotellet. Ellers var renholdet bra. Selve hotellet ligger rett med sjøen og kort avstand til hovedgaten, men det er stille og rolig ved hotellet

29.5-5.6 2016.
Besökte hotellet 29.5-5.6 2016. Hotellet var bra och jag hade bokat en studio (fick den bästa studion på andra våningen, med bra sidoutsikt till havet, rum nummer 127). Rummet var ok, rent och hade allt man behövde, men en aning trångt (svårt att få upp kylskåpsdörren eftersom den var vänd åt fel håll och tog i stolarna som fanns nära). Hårtorken är dålig, har man behov av att torka sitt hår så är det nog bäst att man tar egen med sig (jag köpte en för 27€ i butiken nära). De anställda på hotellet var mycket vänliga och i receptionen finns också en dam från Finland. Solstolar finns vid poolen och vid stranden så det var trevligt att man kunde välja. Kan varmt rekomendera hotellet.

Et mindre åpent og pent hotell. God service, fine fasiliteter og renslig. Fine åpne rom og greit bad. Vaskedamene gjorde en nøye jobb så det føltes alltid rent og ryddig ut.
