Better than the reviews I read

Loved this hotel. Exceeded my expectations. Great room. Great Air-con. Super cool temp (sorry I’m American) great stone surfaces. Lovely sheets. Private and secluded at the very end of the beach yet only ten minutes to town. Great hiking above the hotel. Nude beach at the bottom of the hill if you want it.

Three minutes walk to the beach

We were especially impressed with the customer service and attention to details. Location is unbeatable - being so close to FKK part of the beach and 10 minutes drive to famous Amoudaki Beach. NB There is no swimming pool on premises, neither a TV in the room.

Die Lage des kleinen Hotels ist wunderbar - am Ende der Bucht auf einer kleinen Anhöhe mit einem tollen Bick über die geamte Bucht und nur ein paar Minuten Fuss zum Strand. Es liegt abseits vom Trubel, aber bei Bedarf ist man innerhalb weniger Minuten mitten in Plakias. Die Zimmer sind einfach, ohne grossen Schnickschnack, aber stimmig und es ist alles da was man braucht. Uns hat es super gefallen. Das Frühstück bietet sehr viele leckere Sachen und für jeden ist was dabei. Auch gibt es immer kleine leckere griechische Häppchen. Das zum Hotel gehörige Lokal hatte jeden Tag (ausser Sonntag) geöffnet. Uns hat es dort so gut geschmeckt, dass wir jeden Abend dort gegessen haben, da auf der aktuellen Tageskarte immer viele leckere "Nichtstandardgerichte" angeboten werden. Zusammen mit der wunderbaren Terrasse (mit Blick über die Bucht) immer wieder ein Genuß, der durch das immer freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal perfekt ist. Wir waren das erste Mal in diesem Hotel und werden ganz sicher wiederkommen. Vielen Dank vor allem auch an Raphael und Yannis für die beständige Freundlichkeit, den guten Service und tolle Essensberatungen. Wir hoffen, dass dieses Hotel mit seiner Belegschaft sich seinen Charme und seine Einzigartigkeit noch ganz lange bewahrt.

Dommage .....

Notre chambre vue mer s'est transformée en chambre vue sur la montagne et la salle à manger, la suite familiale est en fait deux chambres communiquantes. Personnel pas souriant, on avait l’impression de déranger. Dommage car l emplacement est très sympa avec la plage à 50 m . Le petit port de Plakias est très agréable , plein de petit restaurants très chaleureux.

Tolle Besitzerfamilie die mit viel Herz und Engagement für ihre Gäste da ist. Uns haben jedoch teilweise Dinge gefehlt bzw. stellten des öfteren Mängel beim Frühstück fest. Auch wäre ich bereit lieber eine Gebühr für das Babybett zu zahlen und ein sauberes/ einwandfreies bekommen. So wird das Bett kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt (Lob) aber der Zustand und Sauberkeit lassen leider sehr zu wünschen übrig. Toll ist die Nähe zum Strand, Wanderweg und Co. Gefehlt hat uns der Fernseher, den wir gerne als Radio nutzen. Uns hat der Aufenthalt dennoch sehr gefallen, ein großes Lob an das ganze Team.

Das war ein super Aufenthalt - die Zimmer sind einfach, aber sauber und vollkommen ausreichend und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet - Gott sei Dank kein TV !!! - alle sind super freundlich - das Frühstücksbuffet ein Traum - das abendliche Essen vor dem Kamin ist ein Gedicht. Das wird sicher nicht unser letzter Urlaub in diesem Hotel gewesen sein.

Schönes, familiäres Hotel. Wundervolle Lage am Hang mit Aussicht auf die Bucht. Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück und Abendessen, welches im Garten eingenommen werden kann. Neu renoviertes Badezimmer und schönes Schlafzimmer. 2 Minuten bis zum langen Sandstrand. Wir waren schon oft Gast und kommen wieder.

Un bon hôtel pour quelques jours de farniente

La fait qu'il n'y ait pas de télévision dans la chambre peut sembler un frein à un éventuel séjour au Plakias Hotel, mais honnêtement, cela ne nous a pas manqué. La configuration de l'hôtel fait qu'il n'y a pas vraiment de voisins immédiats ce qui assure une réelle tranquillité. L'ambiance y est bon enfant et le personnel charmant et serviable. La terrasse est suffisamment grande pour qu'on puisse s'y installer et contempler le paysage qui est vraiment magnifique. Un point important qui peut être soit un atout soit un inconvénient pour le choix de cet hôtel: la plage située en contrebas est naturiste. Mais pour les personnes que cela peut gêner il suffit de marcher quelques dizaines de mètres plus loin. Dans les deux cas, ce n'est pas des galets mais du sable qui recouvre la plage.

Sensationelle Lage, hübsches Hotel

Hotel am äußersten Ortsrand von Plakias gelegen, seit vielen Jahren befindet sich quasi vor der Haustür der FKK Bereich der wunderschönen Bucht. Das Frühstück könnte abwechslungsreicher sein, es gab jeden Tag die gleiche Auswahl, alles in allem Sparvariante: Margarine statt Butter, Joghurt mit Gelatine, Pressschinken, Billigkäse, Fertigkeiten, immer gleich. Zimmer sind ok, auch die Matratzen, im Bad Mängel: Handtuchstange und Duschvorhang fehlte, bei Regen schwamm der Balkon, da der Abfluss verstopft war. Leider Silberfischchen im Zimmer. Lustiger Farbmix bei den Accessoires, manche Schalter ohne Funktion, Kühlschrank im Zimmer, laut, aber wirkungsvoll. Klimaanlage als Plus! Für Menschen mit Gehbehinderung nicht geeignet.
