We went in the last week of October and a lot of shops and bars/restaurants were closed for the season which was a shame. We will visit peak season next time.

"Just very average not worth the price. Only amenities are pools, the “hot tubs” they advertise in certain room balconies are cold and you have to push the button every 20 seconds for the jets to stay on.

4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Lots of lovely bars and restaurants, walk around the town first to check out ones you with to visit. Make sure you check out Cosmos and Astrea (authentic Greek) need to book these. Make sure you visit Chania and gifts are cheaper than in Platanias.
