I was at this hotel at the end of the season, in the second half of October, so it might be that my experience is not completely the same as someone going, say, in August. Anyway, I was completely satisfied with the hotel. The price/quality ratio was very good for me, and I have no complaints at all with the hotel. It is located less than 5 minutes' walk from the beach and I had a nice balcony from which I could see the sea. The room was spacious and it had a real double bed, not two separate beds put together as often happens. It is in a quiet place even though just five minutes from the main street and center of the village. There are several shops, supermarkets and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Also, you can go walking along the coast, there is a very nice paved walk from which you see some stunning views, particularly at sunset. |The staff was friendly and nice and I very much appreciated that they let me do a late check-out for free, wow! |I liked everything, the only suggestion for improvement I have was the choice of jams for the breakfast, it could be better, also it would be nice to have a boiler in the room for making oneself tea.

Read moreWe stayed here late August, early September. The hotel is only small but we found it to be very clean and comfortable. Food and drinks are served at its sister hotel literally at the top of the drive. There wasn't a lot of choice with food (the reason for dropping a star) but as long as you aren't fussy it was ok. I'd suggest dining early in an evening as the restaurant opened at 7 so food was always piping hot then, later on not always so as it was buffet style. The bar was great and the staff were absolutely superb, we have made great friendships that will last forever. The surrounding area was absolutely stunning, we visited some fantastic beaches and beautiful places, a day out to water city water park although a long way was great for children. It's quite a way from any airport so really a car is a must, it also allows you to explore the area, ask the reception staff and they'll be delighted to help. This holiday was remarkably fantastic value for money and I'd go back...
Read moreHotel is in good location for the beach and all the Tavernas and shops. We loved Plakias - like old time Greece with all the Tavernas and lovely beach. Was very very windy for 2 days. Affected my eyes and difficult to go on beach as you got sandblasted!||Our room was big and bathroom was good even if the shower made the floor very wet and didn't really need the Jacuzzi bath (unusual for Greece!) Pool area and bar is only O.K. Very quiet and no atmosphere. Be aware this is 2 hotels and can use pool at both. The pool area on roof of Hotel Porto Plakias is very disappointing and seemed to be all shut up and very shabby. Pool at next door hotel is a fair size but very cold! Breakfast wasn't bad - the orange juice from the machine was terrible. Coffee a bit better. Hot food OK and eggs every day. I wouldn't like to stay here full board as I don't think the food would be very good. So many good places to eat on the doorstep. Get...
